BARRIERS no wAaEwORKERs.
MOnoPolies Not the only Objects TO
Contend Against.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
The workingmen of to-day are not only
subject to the iron grasp of employers and
monOpolies, but they have to contend
against the feeling of those who are preju-
diced against manual toll. inasmuch as
their vocation is looked upon as degrading
and unworthy of gentleman. This. of
course. is a relic of the old aristocratic
prejudiceS, and must die out with other
prejudices of the same low origin; never
theleSS il is prevalent even in the churches.
| have met church members who think be-
cause l am tradeSman that am unwor-
thy OF their acquaintance, and that il would
be communicating TO them should they rec
OgniZe or shake hands with me outside of
the church. 1t is question of dollars and
social standing. not of Christian love or
fellowship. 1t is hard for a class
of men TO respect themselves who are
denied respect by all those around them.
THE sword of ambition is shivered to
pieces against such bulwaTk." And fain
would cry out with thousands of my fellow
workmen. o, for a warm, kindly, Christ
like church, common plane where we
could all meet on an equality and be broth
ers in Christ in this world. even as we hope
to be in the next. At the present season
of the year, when our streets are thrOnged
with unemployed men, and the few who are
fortunate enough TO secure work are cut
down TO the lowest living limits in order
that their employers may economic and be
able to compete with Others engaged in the
same business; and when misery and pow
erty surround us on all sides, now, say. is
the time when every conscientious man,
every lover of justice and liberty. should ask
in his own heart is the wage system and
competitive system the right one? ''Man
thinks of the few. God of the many; and
the many will be found at length TO have
within their reach the most effectual means
of progress" Time is on our side, the
great social forces which move EDWARDS in
their might and which the tumult of these
debates does not impede or destroy, are with
us. Let what is already won give us cour-
age. WAGEwoRKER.

for the following: The Sixth street and
North Star shops are having good deal of
trouble with their barrels as at present

may be taken as explosive Its fire is the

is the rending OF the chains and shackles
that now bind labor down. The horny
handed knights are Christians rather than
anything else. They have no quarrel with
the church. and as temperance OrganiZa-

the world Its leaders preach temperance,
its journals urge it, and its rules forbid the

any way makes money out of rum.
The executive board manage the entire

the other day that IN Massachusetts the
knights have grown so as to attract the at

ties. Organized labor is learning to use its
power. Legislators who antagOnized labor
last year have been retired. and twenty-five
knights have been elected to the next house.

knights are also influential in the city gov

without the discussion of politics in any

To the Editor OF the Globe.
Clerical literature on the labor question is

so. For my part. am too much pleased
with the character OF the articles given us by
DR.. Christie. DR.. Dana, Rev. j. l.. Scudder

have we been awake? The very men who
suffered were the deadest of dead for a long
time, and many great and good men who
saw our desperate condition and wanted to
aid US could not get hearing from us. Let
us not throw stones yet while, even when
our clerical friends do not come up TO our
standards of thought. Some Of them are
far ahead Of US in thorough appreciation of
the truths and difficulties Of the problem
we are attempting to grapple with. More
over, their interests as well as their feelings
are with the masses, and we may be sure
that as fast as they see openings for work
with us or in our behalf they will be ready
for them. OF course I refer to the men of
ability who can, in addition TO performing
well the duties of their station, grasp such
great questions and handle them easily.

OKs DEFENDED.
His ShOPmaIes Express Belief In Hrs
InnOc cnce of Murder.


August Oys, the young fellow charged
with the murder of Mark Norton at the
Northwestern Barrel company's shop, is re-
ceiving much sympathy and an effort is be-
ing made by the coopers to see that he is
given proper legal aid in his defense.
Young Oys has always been industrious and
well-behaved. and the feeling that the UNI
lucky blow which killed Norton and con-
signed him TO prison cell was the result
OF a sudden provOcation lead TO the passage
of the following resolution at a meeting of
the members of the company:
According 10 custom in our shop any one
who enters the state of holy matrimony is
expected by his fellov-workmen TO treat
them with cigars Mr.. Merton, for some rea-
son, declined TO submit TO the custom and as
consequence exposed himself 10 jokes
usually played on such occasions. Provoked
by this and without moments hesitation or
inquiry he proceeded TO the berth OF August
Oys, charging him with hiding his dinner pail.
Oys denying this, Norton Immediately strikes
Oys in the face with his fist. Oys not being
prepared for this. nor allowed a moment 5
time TO consider what he is dong. in the
passion of fright and anger, seiZes the
weapon next at hand and In the act of self
defense strikes the fatal blow.
For about a year and a half August Oys
has been member Of our company, and
during that time We have learned 10 know
him as young man OF inoffensive manners
and peaceable nature. Taking the above
mentioned facts into consideration, we ex-
press il as our opinion that although August
Oys was the immediate cause OF the death
of Mark Norton, We believe that he Is not
guilty of murder.
