Delegate to Congressional convention.

All that we have to say to the above at
present, is that we know Mr.. Churchill to
be one of the best citizens of this place.
and who is much esteemed. Neither do we
believe that Mr.. Churchill started the so
called boom. We saw the flattering notices
of him in other papers, and were only too
glad to say good word for citizen of
Alpena, and one who takes such an active
part in the business and development of
this city. We asked him some time ago
in regard to the matter, stating what we
had seen i'll other papers in regard TO him,
and he replied that he was not u candidate
and would take no active measures to get
the nomination, but our belief was, and we
so stated last week, that if Mr.. Churchill
was rendered tile nomination unanimous.
ly, We believed he would accept it, and we
further stated our belief that he would
make vigorous canvass and good run,
and we believe so still.

Inauguration of the Struggle for Eight

The list of May-the day fixed for the
Inauguration of the eight-hour movement
brought with it the stoppage of work
by at least 10000 men, four fifths Of the
number being in Chicago, but it did not
bring, so far as known, any of the at
tempts at violence which many had been
led to fear. In the metropolis of the
West the men in the lumber districts and
the freight handlers make up the great
proportion of those who have gone out

the strike through its 1000 garment cut

answered the call with her 800 brewers,

A PLEASANT spectacle this, presented
in dispatches Friday, where United States
mails were dumped on an open wharf in a
foreign town and left to be picked up
and forwarded or not as any stranger

great reform instituted by Mr.. Villas,
who refuses to entrust the mails to
American vessels, and accordingly Is

How gr cal the labor troubles Of thi
country would be reduced if only both
sides would always submit TO arbitration,
may be inferred from some statistics in
the Government labor report on strikes
in 1880. Out Of the 762 strikes in that
year III per cent. of them, or 544, were
due to differences about wages alone.
Who doubts, if these questions had been
submitted to arbitrators, that they could
have been settled TO the satisfaction Of
both employers and employees without a
strike?

THE eight.hour agitation has assumed
formidable proportions. At Chicago and
other points Of the West 1t threatens seri.
Ously to dcrange business and disorganize
industry. The demand for the reduction
of time Is accompanied in many cases by
the interruption OF work and the com.
plete suspension of traffic. This question
must in the end be settled upon sound
economic principles and upon n basis of
equity. With the advance of civilization
and the multiplication of the forces of
production, the tendency is towards
shorter hours. But it is not n result to be
reached in any summary way or In disre-
gard of the rights and interests Of EN-.
ployers. So far as it is to be permanent.
ly established, it is to come gradually
and with the adoption Of surrounding
conditions, as the reduction from twelve
10 ten hours came. To reduce time from
ten 10 eight hours with undiminished pay
Is equivalent 10 an increase oil twenty per
cent. in the cost of labor. If it is TO be
granted at all some of the workers would
prefer 1t in enhanced wages. They
would rather save more money for their
families than save more time for them.
selves. AS the elements of production
multiply the time will naturally be re-
duced. Intelligent labor understands all
this as well as capital, and we, therefore,
expect to see the question treated in a
rational way by the great body Of work.
ers. There may be q sort of craze in
some sections for a time, but reason will
resume her sway. The waves Of tumult
are on the surface Of labor; the great
deep Is calm and u~ndisturbed.
