Employees Organizing for Mutual Protection
Projects for Railroad Construction.
The latest reports from the leading iron and
steel centers show an influx of inquiries for ma
terials of all kinds.
English architects are advising that rooms
should be provided with many warm inets at the
floor line. and an outlet at the ceiling line to car
ry out the vitlated air.
Cooperative manufacturing companies are
sprineing up all over the Northern States,
backed by the Knights of Labor. The general
cooperative board of St Louis has appropriated
$40, 600 to cooperative projects.
The negro Knights of Labor are trying to re-
alize something out of their connection with the
Order In parts OF Arkansas and Texas they
are asking $3.50 per day for picking cotton.
These are very extreme rates. but the planters
have no immediate prospects for relief. i
The great bulk of the cheap pocket cutlery
imported is punched in dies from sheet steel.
Good cutlery is hand forged, and the average
output per hour for good workman Is from
twenty-five to forty blades, according to size. A
good deal of American steel is being used for
this purpose. The blades are polished on walrus
hide fed with rotten-stone.
During the past few days important meetings
of employers of labor have been projected for
the future calling together OF employers for the
purpose of organizing for mutual protective pur-
poses. The combination of labor has become so
powerful that employers feel no more time IS to
be lost. and many industries will be organized
before the LIST of January. The objective point
is not to antagonize labor, but to put themselves
in proper shape whereby they can deal more
evenly with labor organizations

in trade papers such o statement as this:

plants" 1t is evident that the manufacturing
interests established throughout the country are
rapidly increasing their steam capacity. Never
have the engine and boiler-makers been so busy.
The machinery makers themselves are increas
ing their capacity.

A Significant Change.

That was not an insignificant concession on
the part of the Protestant Episcopal convention
at Chicago last week, when it was resolved to
permit q change in the wording of the Apostes'
Creed from "He descended into help to "He
wentirto the place of departed SPIRITS While
this undoubtedly conforms more nearly TO the
phraseology of the Greek text from which it was
derived, the great mass of worshpers who
weekly recite the Creed in Protestant churches
have grown up in the belief that the human
SOUL after the death of the body passes at once
TO its final dwellineplace an abode either of
pure happiness or unmeasured woe. The ad-
mission by the great church council, in its au-
thorized confession III faith, of the possible ex-
isence of transtionE state, marks a change in
the temper of theological thought which deserves
more than passing notice

article touching on the question of slavery and
kindred topics. as revealed by q letter-press

reveal that he was an ardent champion Of the
cause of human slavery, and its extension and
establishment all over the country. He was

letter quoted shows the profoundest contempt

same subject The French law is the most COM
prehensive and severe Masters responsible
for injury to servants or overseers, and work
men are responsible for men under them. Par
ents are answerable for injury to their children,
tutors to their pupils, artisans to their apprenti-
ces, and the owners of animals are responsible
for injury done them. The judges administer
the law conscentiously. and have the right to re-
call or annnl contracts where the workmen
agree to tho setting aside of this protective legis
lation, as we do under the $500 law. The Brit
ish lawmakers are considering whether they will
allow the work people the right to sign away the

muncie,s Natural Gas Well.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNcIE. Nov. 15-Interest in the natural gas
we'll developed here last week daily increases.
The volume of gas escaping and being consumed
to satisfy the curiosity of the hundreds Of visit
deE who nightly congregate about the well, has
steadily increased since the illuminating fluid
was first struck. Yesterday hundreds
OF persons from distant parts of
the county came in to see the
burning wonder. The excitement at first created
was renewed today by the shooting" of the
we'll. for the purpose Of increasing the volume of
gas produced. An immense crowd of people con-
gregated in the vicinity of the well this after
noon, when forty quarts of nitro glycerine were
lowered to the bottom and there exploded. The
operation was safely and successfully
performed The explosive having been lowered
a heavy piece of iron called "go-down" was
dropped into the we'll. This striking the cart
ridge with force, exploded the glycerine, and
sound like that made by the firing of a cannon
a great distance away was heard. The report
was, in a few seconds, followed by the ex-
pulsion from the we'll, of large
quantity of water and pulverized
rock. The gas pipe was again
attached, and tonight the gas is burning with
renewed vigor and brilliancy. The volume pro-
duced is thought to be twice that supplied be-
fore the shooting The directors and stockhold
ers are well pleased with the well, and will
proceed to perfect arrangements to utilize the
gas Other wells will be drilled in short time.
