LETTER BOX.

TO NUMEROUS toRREsFON DENTS. While thank. ing our friends heartily for their active interest in the work ti propaganda as Indicated by the communications received we are constrained to remind thom that the WuRkMEN's ADVOCATE, through necessity, has but small space to de vote to correspondence much to our regret. Still if our esteemed friends will take the trouble to Cond 4nse their articles, it might be possible to crowd ill Il variety of Ideas, from as many letter writers to the exclusion of none. Meanwhile, we suggest that our comrades and friends ventiate thelr ideas in their Sections, Assemblies and ln'ons, where greater scope may be had for argument, and they may depend upon it. that whatever there Is of general i'm portance will eventually reach the multitude. We suggest that our correspondents send us news of events of general interest, and we be licve that may be done by writing not moro than from one hundred to two hundred words, GOV erng not more than one or two pages ot note paper We do not absolutely refuse to print currcspondence; in cases where we are in doubt as to its utility or propricty we refer lt, when desired, tu Il committee to pass upon.

To the H'Oih1arHS AdrOcdte'
 Judging by the circular issued by the Executive Boardof the Knights of Labor, there are thousands of blackllSted mem bers of the Order, unable to find employ ment It demonstrates that the accursed capitalstic system under which the pro- ducers of wealth are suffering should, m order to secure to the workers the full enjoyment of the wealth they create, be changed as speedily as possible.
 A plan should devised to financially help those whom the bosses are trying to starve into submission. 1 respectfully suggest the following; Let the members of the different Assemblies in each town join in patronizng a certain merchant, provided he returns t0 the Assembly, say. two per cent. of amount of sales made tO members, the amount to be noted on card, handed to the customer and by him turned over to the Secretary of the Assembly, who will collect the percentage. The money so gathered could be devoted to the defense fund. What merchant with an eye to business would not rather return Il small portion of profit than refuse the chance tO do a larger business?

 There are about 5000 workmen in the four big shops of the Champion Machine Co.,, in this place, all of whom had to sign an "iron- clad not to belong to any labor organization. A standing offer is posted on the walls to the effect that SlO reward will be paid for the detection of any sytnpathizers with the labor move ment, and over the door of one of the largest shops is the sign: "free and in dependent worhmen only employed. " So, you may imagine that when Dr. and Mrs. Aveling came here on the 9th inst, there were many who were afraid to go to hear them. COmrade Polling had the courage to act as chairman, and quite q number of Knights of Labor came and heard the speeches, which evidently pleased them very much, Tor they smarmed around our visitors after the meeting, and were quite enthusiastic over the gospel of Socialism, An Amer ican Section will no doubt be started in q short time.
