NITNNEAPOLTs COOPERs.

No very notable changes have occurred in
the cooper situation lhe past week. There
seems TO be gradual sinking down of wages
to fl the low price of barrels prevailing and
while the working coopers strongly protest
against this, they have so far been compelled
to accept and make the best of the present
state Of affairs. There is probably not shop
in the city which has not reduced wages, and
the price paid for making barrels now ranges
all the way from IL to IA cents. The coopers'
assembly held a special meeting Friday to
consider matters, and is understood to have
appointed committee to fix wages which
could be agreed to by all shops. At Mondays
meeting report was made, and it is said that
figure not far from l6 cents was established
to be put in force before the close of the
month. How this will be done is not made
clear, but coOpers claim that if certain CO
operative shops only stand by them there will
be no difficulty in attaining this end. The
feeling seems to be gaining ground among
coopers that the only way the ever existing
differences between cooperative and boss
shops can be overcome is to combine so far
as the selling of barrels is concerned, and
have it all done by one person An attempt
to carry out such scheme is not improba-
BILE. The working cOOpers have had cOmpar-
atively steady work the past six months, and
seemed satisfied with the wages they received;
but with reduction of 2 to cents per bar
rel, and winter approaching, they feel that

Interesting to Workingmen.

Our 5000 mechanics are directly involved
in the Chicago trouble between the Stone
cutters union on one side and the Brick
layers and Stonemasons unions on the
other, in which considerable bitter feeling
has been engendered. The cause is supposed
to be that the bricklayers and stonemasons
claim the right to do work known as
'shoddy," to which the stOnecutters object,
and in consequence of the difficulty Withdrew
from the trades assembly week ago. The
stone contractors at a large meeting resolved
not to furnish any material to any builder
taking the part of the bricklaS erS and stone
masons.
The alleged condemnation by the vatican of

has led to simultaneous proposition by sew

prepare the way for some action upon the
subject next month by the general assembly
at Richmond.-John Swlntons Paper.

A LUCKY TRAMP.
Oyer $1,000 Won Upon a Borrowed
Half.DOllar.


Omaha Bee.
AS an example of what queer things luck
will do sometimes, the case of a young man
who won over 81, 200 from one of the faro
banks in this city night before last may be
taken. The fellow, who was in decidedly
dilapidated condition, went into restaur-
ant and begged a meal. The proprietor,
contrary to the usual custom of the mem
bers of his craft, did not throw the man
bodily out of the place, but, on the other
hand, set before him good, square meal
After he had finished eating he walked
up to the proprietor and remarked:
Now l want you to stake me-"
''Stake you?"
Eyes, give me enough money to start me
playing faro" returned the fellow.
How much do you want?'
FIFTY cents"
The money was promptly forthcoming.
Within less than five minutes the fellow
was seated at faro table in one of the
large gambling establishments of this city.
He won from the start. Every play he
made threw gold and silver into his pile
When he left the table the next morning he
was nearly $1,000 ahead. Two hundred
dollars of this he spent in treating the large
crowd, which had eagerly been watching the
play. He then repaid the restaurant man
who had 'staked' HIM. and walked away
with over 81, 600 in his pocket.

The Trades and Labor Assembly,
citation.
The Trades and Labor assembly held an
executive meeting Friday evening. at which
reports from the committee on conference,
concerning political agitation of needed leg
islative reforms, were heard. The commit
tee appointed to demand the resignation of
c. NJ. FoOte as a member of the water
board, reported that no attention had been
made to the assembly's request. Congress-
man Gilfillan had heard from Washington
in regard to the cOnYict-labor matter, and
the results of his inquiries were given to
the assembly. No final action was taken
in any of these matters, and their nature
will not be made public until such final ac-
lion is taken. 1t is probable that the ex-
ecutive sessions of the assembly will be dis
continued, and regular reports of meetings
hereafter be furnished to the press. The
next regular meeting will be held at 22O

ALLEGED LABOR ORGANS.

What a Union Man Has to Say About
Their Professions and Practices.
To the Rdltor of the Globe.
Does it not seem preposterous for the bonn
bastic editors of some of the alleged labor
organs" published in our city to be contin-
ually upbraiding the daily papers and using
such,epithets as ''tyrannical." subsidized,
"eapitalistie" and Economical" when re-
ferring to the newspapers, while at the same
time they are ''tyraBnical'' ia the extreme ia
all their references to people who do not CO.
iEcide with them in each and every one of
their sentiments? And though they may not
be 'capitalistic" concerns, still know TO my
certain knowledge that the editor OF one OF
the labor (f) papers made the remark, upon q
certain occasion when he was trying to
''stand OFF, the printer for the issue of the
sheet: Damn the labor support L
must bleed some of these id ofiice-seek-
ers if l ever expect TO make a success of the
paper! How is that for an idea TO emanate
from the brain of an editor q? of labor
organ, who is continually harping in his long
Minded editorials about the 'capitaliStic"
press? May be our labor (?l organs are not
Subsidized, but may be they are; at least
it looks so to the ordinary man (be he laborer
or capitalist when he sees the So-cailed labor
organs supporting such candidate for gov
ernor as McGill, who has held fat govern
ment Office for years, when there is Il man of
the caliOre OF AmeS, who has. on divers and
sundry occasions. shown by both word and
deed that he has the welfare of the toilers at
heart, in the field Tor the same office. In the
words of one OF the So-called editors" of the
so-called Labor" press:
verify, consistency, thou art a jewel!''
LaStly,we will deal with the appellaUion de
moniacalI' What could be more ''Gemoniacal''
than man to start paper on nothing but
wind" and 'gall, and make all overetureS
and promises 10 enable him to get the support
of wage-wOrkers, and while he claims to run
a strickly ''union" paper. allow his type THAT
is, the little original matter his sheet con-
tains) to be set exclusively by non-union
compositors, and the balance OF his paper to
be filed up with stereotyped 'plate NATTER
set up by girls who are paid from three to
five dollars per week? Is it not "demonacal'
in ali the meaning of the term, to pretend to
be the guide and friend of the laborer-to
mold his ideas. etc, and at the same time,
for paltrf pittance, mere drop from the
political Slop bucket-work against a friend
of labor and IN the interests or capitalists.
But there is a satisfaction in knowing that
the laboring classes of Minnesota are not
quite so ignorant and stupid as to be mis-
led and deluded by the blazon shoutings and
illy-written (as we'll as lOng-wndeG) editorials
of such persons as these; but when the
record of November comes they will en-
phatically show that right shall and must
triumph over might, and we will send Ames
to the capitol with q good round majority,
consisting of at least five figures.

the Committees Report.

The labor convention will meet on Thurs

to report TO somebody. and out OF this
necessity grew the convention. Every
