DIssipated hooking birds.

The children in Atlanta have heard the
liquor question discussed enough to be
interested.
A short time ago a little boy came
running to his mother with a look of
gravity. ma, said he, II thought YOU
told me that hooking birds were good
Yes, I did tell you so, my SON."
"Well ma, you don't know nothin' tall
bout knocking birds, then, for that old
one that built her nest in the water
oak last summer has gone and got
drunk on 'haney berries, and is out
yonder 1ippin' and rearin' and tearin'
'mongst the robins"

THE LEAGUE.
A Short hut Successful MeeIing-A Large
Number of New Members Sign the
RoII-A Rousing Meeting.

May was one of the best meetings ever
held by the League. COmrade Buchanan,
the permanent chairman, was present for the
first time in four weeks, having just re-
turned from California, where he had been
visiting and working for the cause.
Thirteen new members signed the roll, and
the amount received for dues was the largest
since the organization of the League, $3.50.
The programme was short, owing to the
open meeting closing at the regular 9 o'clock
recess to make way for the monthly business
meeting
COmrade W. A. Jackson made the re-
SDOnses to the lesson, No. 6, redistribution of
Wealth." COmrade David Perry made some
appropriate remarks on the lesson, after
which COmrade Miss Tenant entertained
the audience with a very we'll selected read
ing.
COmraGe Collins made the address of the
evening; iris remarks were well received !;
he made many good points.
COmrade J. R. Buchanan made short re-
port Of tie outlook on the Pacific coast The
cOmrade was suffering much from an attack
of thrUa. trouble and was able to speak
but little.
The regular meeting adjourned by sing
ing verses from "The March of the Work

Eoual Rights Before the Law.

Equal Rights Before the Law.
For the ENQUIRER.
Organization is the question of the
hour. The workers must be federated
together to gain and maintain tn cir
rights against the combined powers of
wealth. Wherever we turn we meet
corporate power possessing special privi-
legcs, having at their command all the
combined power Of beth state and ma,
ton, while we, the workers, are isolated
into many trades unions and labor or
CARNATIONS; the whole of which are
non-incorporated, without any rights
that a BODY corporate is bound to re-
spect. Hence we have to contend for
our rights against great odds. Our op-
pressors are both INSCRIPTIONS and de-
void of conscience, hiding their individ-
ualtv behind the body corporate.
Then as we have nothing to conceal
let us demand that all our labor organi
zati ms be incorporated so that we may
oppose force to force, and thus meet our
foes ON an equal footing, then our right
to combine will not be questioned and
we ca protect our rights and pool our
issues. AS we are the producers of the
wealth against wh ch we have to con-
tend, then when capital invades our
rights we can call upon the governor for
the state militia and the United States
troops, and if these be not enough we
can advertise-lke Mr.. Hoxie-for
"gooi men to act as deputy marshals.
Only men of grit wanted" and arm them
with Winchester rifles to shoot dow a.
sight.
Another advantage will be that when
our officials squander our funds and ruin
our property we can 90 before the
United States courts and ask for re-
ceiver to protect our property against
dishonest officials This will be giving
labor and capital equal rights before the
law, and if this is not enough to protec
us, we can claim to be American citizens
like Jay Gould, the great railroad
wrecker, and hide ourselves behind the
United States courts. What glorious
privileges labor would then possess il
this free country.
At any rate we must enter into gr ca
confederation of labor, so that "an in
Jury to one is the concern of all, ,
whether IN strike or boycott. and when
this great confederation of labor is an
accomplished fact, we can cast our bal
lots as one man, and elect to Office oul
own trusted leaders who will Introduce
the great industrial Cooperative Com
mOnwealth and then labor shall be free
from thrall and drudeerv. Then we
shall find four hours dav long enough
to do the worlds work; when the
wastes of society are closed and every
man becomes useful member of the
great commonwealth; when the para
sites that feed upon the bodv of labo
are re roved and equity between mel
shall be the rule and not the exception
when every man and woman shall en-
Joy equal rights and equal privileges an'
all have enough and to spare and no
as now the idle feast and the worker
want-the drone in a mansion, th
Iaborer in a hovel. Then let US organic
and federate. A UNIoNIsT.

| ing mills. They were told that the men IN
that mill worked by the piece and not by the
hour. About this time four companies of
militia appeared upon the scene, and after
firing one volley into the air, isucceeded in
dispensing the crowd. On Wednesday there
was collision between the strikers and
militia. The strikers were practically un-
armed, and were at the mercy of the militia
who fired upon them, killing three and
wounding large number. One man, who
was not in the crowd, but was feeding
chickens in his own yard near by, was in
stantly killed. Thursdays dispatches indi-
cate that the trouble is likely to end here
for the present.
ST. LOUIS.
The strike on the Missouri Pacific system
is ended. Martin Irons has ordered the men
to return to work-those who can get their
places back. The full terms of settlement
are not vet known, but it is..reported that a
great many applicants are being refused
work, some because they are charged with
violence during the strike, others because
there Is nothing for them to do, their places
being already filled.
OTHER PLACES.
The employees of the Michigan car shops,
at Detroit, struck for ten hours pay for nine
hours work, on Monday. There were other
strikes in the city upon the shorter hours
question. Number out, 1890.
The taiIors Of Boston, about 1000, are out
against the bosses new rules.
The trackmen in the various railroad yards
at Kansas City struck on Tuesday, for an ad-
vance of wages. No later news.
-Four thousand silk weavers in jersey City
have been on strine since last Saturday, and
1,5O0 were added to the number Wednesday.
All the furniture-workers of Baltimore
have been locked out for demanding eight
hours.
There are 10, 900 men In the various en-
ployments on strike in Cincinnati.
The shoe-cutters of StOneham, Massachu-
sets, won their fight for the new price list.
The street car strike in New York City
has been compromised. 1t look as if the men
got the worst of it.
Tile pattern-makers, varnisherS, furniture
workers, carriage makers and furriers, of
New York City, all have strikes on hand.
The brakemen on the main line of the
Union Pacific have been out for few days
against new system of paying, which
reckons by the mile instead of by the month.
All trains, excepting mail and frst-class pas
sengersewere stopped Monday and Tuesday;
but at This writing it seems that the brake
men will have to yield. Scabs have been
from other points to fill the
places.
Theforegoing is but few of the items of
labor troubles in the cOuntry-prObably not
half. The country is very much upset.

1ntemperanee and Poverty


For the Enquirer.
"For every one who is poor because he
is ignorant, there are twenty who are
ignorant because they are poor; and for
every one who Is poor because of intem-
perance, there are twenty who are in
temperate because they are poor"
We have here the key to the mystery
of the increase of poverty and intem-
perance amid the increase of wealth
and progress of the age. Short sighted
and superficial must he be who cannot
discern the cause of increasing crime
and misery. The password is Poverty
Poverty is not the result of laziness or
Incidence, no more than intemperance
is that of natural depravity; yet these
are the reasons assigned for both by the
average man. They are the result Of
false teaching and false system, which
Ignorance tolerates. So long as the peo
nile concede that capital is privileged
that wealth is superior 20 worth, thai
authority is above reason, that govern
ment is stronger than the people and l:
IRRESPONSIBLE to them, that office digni-
fies the man, that labor is dlsreputabl'
and should be relegated to the lowe
classes" so long will political and socia
evils exist. Assumption and fraud ART

work, and the store presents neat and
handsome appearance.
"BiIly" told ye editor that he had to make
