Mcclure, the Secretary of Their Brother
hood, Urges Them to Organize.

P. j. Mcclure, of Cleveland. o.. secretary OF
the National Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners. addressed large crowd of workinemen
in the Criminal Court room. last night. The
meeting was held under the auspices of the Cen
trail Labor Union, but it was principally in the
interest of the jourDeymen carpenters. Mr..
Mcclure is q very fOrcihle and convincing
sneaker. and he interested bis audience for
nearly two hours In beginning his address, he
urged the necessity of labor organizing, and
dwelt upon the beneficial results coming from
thorough organization. The last half Of his
speech was with especial reference to tho car
penters. whom he characterized as the hArdeet
worked and poorest paid laborers in the country.
The brick-lsyer, he said. reesived "a psr day while
the carpenter who did much harder work had
but s. The brick-1ayers commanded better pay
because they were organized. So long as car
psntsrs refused to combine together they would
receive pAuper wages. He strongly urged the
adoption of a scale of prices in Indianapolis, and
said it would prove more satisfactory to both
the contractors and the laborers Another re-
form he advocated was the wedding out Of in
competent workmeu. who know only how to
handle saw and Ratchet. and yet command
equal wages with man who spen several years
learning the trade.

edifying spectacle on the face of this selfish
earth il is that presented by a judicial officer
who is both able TO perceive and fearless to do his

him profundity of intellect or great learning,
that culture which becomes exalted men.

The Judge was satisfied thai many n1itieat-
