Labor Notes,

The Socialistic parade in London or
lord mayors day has been prohibited.
The enlightened(?) government Of
Belgium has temporarily released from
prison, Anseele, the Socialist, 80 that he
NAV canvas for seat in the house oil
representatives.
MONTREAL, Nov. Father Sentenne,
preaching in Notre Dame church
tonight, spoke against the revised rules
Of the Knights of Labor, which were ar
ranged to suit the Catholic clergy of this
province, and advised his hearers who
were members of that organization to
withdraw, as he considered the whole
matter q trap for workingmen.
The striking workmen at Vlerzzon
started Journal called La Republique
SoCiale, and asked lola permission to re-
print his "Germinal" serially. offering to
pay what they could for it. Zola re-
pied; Since you defend the cause of
the poor and the suffering. 1 give you
the right to print 'Germinal' free"
The bishop of.London, Rochester and

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 5.-The Socialists,
Vanderstadt and Fortuyn, are on trial
for publishing sedltious pamphlet, the
prosecutor demanding that each shall be
sentenced to imprisonment for six
months. Judgment has been deferred.
LONDON, Nov. 6.-The determination
Of the Socialists of London to make a
demonstration on the occasion of the
lord mayors show is causing the author
tiles much anxiety. The police fear
that the gathering of the Socialists will
end in a riot, and have warned shop
keepers whose establishments are on the
line to be taken by the procession to
close their doors and barricade their
windows on that dav.
When we read A. R. Parsons speech
at the Chicago court room, which was
what he had said at the haYmarket meet
ing, there is not a phrase, or word5 or
an implied meaning, which Knights of
Labor, labor papers and others have not
said over and over again, and all of
which will be said and wri ten over and
over again by many, in much stronger
language than Parsons used.-Burlingto
Justice.
LONDON, Nov. The Socialists have
decided to hold procession on lord
mayors day, Police Commissioner Frazer
not having reptile to their letter.
LONDON, Nov S.-The leaders Of the
Socialists announce to-day that they
have finally concluded to abandon the
idea Of holding a meeting IN Trafalgar
square to morrow.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Windsor Life
Guards have been ordered to London to
assist at the lord mayors show. The
board of works has ordered all public
works in the course of construction to be
barricaded, in order to prevent the using
Of bricks to-day. Sir Charles Warren
has requested the local authorities 10
keep the streets free from anything
that can be used as missiles. The West

PINKERToN THUG RULE.
It is Likened to Dublin Castle Rule.

The following from the Irish World
shows how all honest men regard the
Infamous gang under the control of Pink
erton:
ut reads like story of the reign of
Dublin castle in Ireland, under whose
orders every member of the constabulary
was constituted judge, jury, and execu-
toner, and the dolngs thus described
are a disgrace to our institutions. These
Pinkerton people have PLAYED entirely
two prominent a part in the labor
troubles of this country as the masters
of military establishment that ls as
autocratic as any in Europe. They
usurp the powers of government, and II
those WHO ara particularly interested
would prosecute them we believe that
thev would he found guilty of acrimlnal
infringement of the constitution. In
any case the very existence ofthls organ
ized banditti is an impeachment of the
civil authority under which they -four
ish. If the city government of Chicago
or Cook county is unable to preserve
law and order, which we do not believe,
its reason for existing ceases. 1t is time
that this Pinkerton gang is taught
lesson-a lesson that should not end
with punishment for this outrage. 1t
should be broken up altogether"

The Best Utterance on the Labor Ques-
ton.
"Solutions sociales," translated by Marie
Rowland.
Social Solutions" semi-monthlY
pamphlet, containing each twelfth
part of an ad nirable English translation
of NJ. Godin's statement of the course of
study which led him to conceive the So
cial Palace at Guise, France. There Is
no question that this publication makes
an era in the growth of the labor ques-
tion. 1t should serve as the manual for
organized labor in its present contest,
since its teachings will as surely lead to
the destruction of the wages system as
the abolition movement lead to that of
chattel slavery. Each number contains
articles of Importance, besides the por-
tlons of the translation. Many of these
are translated from NJ. Godln's contri
buttons to the Socialistic propaganda in
Europe.

The cotton mill operatives at Fall

The cotton mill operatives at Fall
River have determined on movement
for an increase of l3 per cent IN wages.
The scale was cut to that extent in 1884,
and the demand is for a restoration on
the ground that the condition of the
cotton market and the market for the
manufactured product gives basis OF
profit above that of 1884, iustifying the
increase in wages The mills have re-
Gently declared dividends, but they show
no disposition to concede the demand
and it is likely to lead to another Of
those disastrous strikes for which Fall
River is notorious. z-z

Five years from now, if we are all

not get everything, but they will get a
great many things, because they are

to Socialism are just. and the tendency
oflegisation is to concede them. Event

no reason why the government should
not send my message by electricity as
we'll as by steam. The beginning OF
government control of ilroads NAV be
seen already in the railroad commits

and in the movement bv the national
government for the regulation of inter
state commerce. The progress from the
control of commerce to the actual con-
