the Water Works and Set
Fire to the Town.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, November 2l.-A
local German paper asserts in lis issue
today, that the anarchists of this city
have renewed their az tstion and that
the call for meetings Of the Groups
are circulated openly. nday

ball on Clybourn avenue, a meeting
of the North Side group OF the Inter-
national Working Peoples Asso, ia
ton was held, at which various plans
were discussed Some Of the people
present thought that on a stormy
night, with a few pounds of dynamite,
the water works could be blown up
and fires started at some dozen differ
ent places. The water works de-
sttoyed, the FIRE department could
have no water; half the the city
would go up in q blsze, and in the
confusion thus caused, the reorganized
groups and companies OF the Lehr
Und Wehr Verein could easily cap
ture the city"
Police Captain Schaack says he has
no fear Of anything happening at
present and his men are keeping a
close watch on the groups" de

knights of Labor On the Georgia
LeRislatuFe.


ATLANTA, GA, November 22.-In
the recent State election the Knights
Of Labor succeeded in electing several
of their number to the Legislature,
the most prominent Of them being
NJ. Schofield, of Bibb county. MI.
Schofeld has introduced and will
press to passage in the Legislature a
bill to regulate labor, which derives
importance from the fact that it is the
demand of the Knights Of the State.
The bill has three things in view.
The most important is to fix the hours
OF labor which shall be exacted OF
employees in manufactures. The word
'msnufsc 'ories" does not relate to rail
roads aud similar corporations. 1t is
proposed that the hours OF labor shall
be restricted to ten. The second
thing the bill has in view is the pre-
vention OF black listing employees. The
manufactures have a system OF black
listing which prevents discharged en-
ployes from obtaining employment.
The bill proposes, in the event that
an emp,oye is prevented from
obtaining employment Of er being
discharged, except on the grounds
Of Incompetency or bad conduct,
to make the employer liable for dam.
ages, The third thing relates to
notices to quit. At present employees
are required to give notice to employ
ers OF their intention to quit. EN-
ployers are not required to give such
notice. The bill proposes to place
employer and employee in the mater
on the same legal footing. That is, 1t
proposes to require notice from either
or both. NJ. Schofsld says a bill
will be introduced 10 create a bureau
Of labor statistics. The laboriug men
want such a bureau, aud they believe
they will &c. it, as the cost OF main
tanning it will be but little. Mr..
Seho6eld says that the laboring men
are determined that the convict labor
system must 90.

The Crops.

Crops ut this juncturc are in q most
prccarious condition. Inccssant rains
for the last ten days has saturated the
ground with moisture, and the plant
is SO full of sap that-.a drOuth would
result in tho most serious consequent
ccs. The corn crop is generally well
advanced, because it was worked out
before the general rains set in, but
the cotton crop, in most places, has
been choked by the grass and is yellow
from being saturated with too much
water, and fully twenty days behind.
Hale county, Alabama, presents a
most gloomy picture of the cotton
crop, which is the largest cotton
county in the State. Reports say that
they arc the worst cotton crops in 20
years owing to the rains.
There arc ut least, 100000 acres
more in cotton this year than last,
and big cotton crop means not more
than six cents per pound, and IL costs
8 cents to raise cotton such wet year /.
Southern people still will persist in
raising cotton until they arc ruined.
