however, prevented, Then, in May,
came the uprising in Baden, and
Becker took part in this revolution.
The worklngmen repeatedly defeated
Prussian, Bavarian and Ulessan
troops, and Becker proved himself
an intrepid leader. His protection
of line of retreat at Durlach. where
he with his poorly-drilled troops held
at bay an immense force of prussmn
and National troops for Il half day,
WAS a most brilliant achievement.
The more so when it is said that he
had not single piece of artillery.
General Sigel WAS engaged in this
affair, and he had great confidence
in Becker. The unequal struggle of
the work!ngmen against wcll-drilIed
troops with heavy artillery which far
outnumbered the revolutionists was
brought to an end, and the brave
men had to retreat to Switzerland.
Becker continued his agitation for
the economic emancipation of the
proletarlat up to the time of his
death which occurred December 10,
1886. His name will be remembered
among Labor's heroes. especially at
such seasons as this, when the an
nual celebration of the Commune is
engaged in by Socialists in AL parts
of the world.

OFFICE NATL SECRETARY,
100 William st, New York,
lofrICIALl

On the fourth day Thursday, March
~ of the Convention of the Journeymen
Bakers National Union, the election of
National Secretary was the first in
order, and August Delabar, the delegate
from the Pacific Coast, was elected to
that Office, the present incumbent hay
ing again declined Il reelection. George
Il. Block was unanimously elected as
editor of the RaechereeH,ng Chicago
was elected rs the place for the next con
vcntion which takes place on the first
Monday in March, next year. A decision
of the National Executive in the case of
George Reppert. of New York Union,
No. |, was reversed, and Reppert's pun
ishment reduced to a fine of $l5. In
the afternoon session amendments to
the constitution were considered. 1t was
decided to leave ii to the decision of the
local unions whether subscription to the
Bdeckerzeitung should be obligatory up
on members or not. In the evening the
delegates visited the Trades and Labor
Assembly in body.
The forenoon of the fifth day was oc-
cupled with amendments of the laws,
some of which are as follows: The Ma
tional Executive shall consist of nine
members instead of seven IN heretofore:
the members shall be obliged to fill out
the statistical blanks sent them; the Ma
tional Executive was invested with more
power in regard to filming, suspending,
and eXpelling members and local unions;
members neglecting to deposit travelling
cards in their possession ON going to
to work shall be fined 81. In the after
noon the consideration of amendments
was ended. A clause was adopted by
which members of the union shall he eX-
PEELED If they open IA drinking saloon,
even if they still continue to work at the
trade and conduct a saloon in another's
name. The new constitution is to 90 in
force May |. A lively debate was had
over the resolution adopted at Chicago
last year which fixes the maximum num-
Der of working hours at eleven per day
and fourteen on Saturday, leaving it to-
local unions to reduce the number in each
case. The resolution was finally adop.
ted.
On the sixth and last day of the con-
vention clause was added to the consti-
tuition providing for permanent con-
ference committee where more than one
union exists in one town. 1t was decided
to remain in the American Federation of
Labor, and Union No. ID was instructed
to elect delegate to the next convention
of the Federation. The resolution of
the Chicago convention declaring the
boycott proper means to compel recog-
milton of the union by the bosses was
endorsed. 1t was decided that members
are in duty bound to become citizens of
| the United States. After vote Of
thanks to the retiring National Secretary,
the third National Convention of the
Journeymen Bakers adjourned sine die.

tied by the government and Marx
returned to Paris from whence he

the channel to England and made

The following little item in the
New York HeraM Of last Wednesday
is eloquent;
"A Hebrew coal vender who raised
the price of coal from ten to twenty
cents in the vicinity of Stanton and Lud-
low streets was mobbed and every bit of
coal he had in his wagon taken from him
by a lot of angry women with buckets
and scuttles."
There are, to be sure, many poor
people who have not the strength or
spirit to exercise "nature's first law, "
but the fact that there are many
who will, when the exigencles of the
times demand, preserve their own
lives at the expense of property for
some reason in the hands of others,
is no doubt a most impelIng in

dOrses the Engineers Strike.

uoIStS the Engineers SIFlkt.
AT Il largely attended meeting for
debate, held March IL, under the
auspices of the Socialist Labor Party,
participated in by the Anti-Poverty
Society, the following resolutions
were passed.
WHEREAS, The officials of the Chica-
go, Burlington and Quincy railroad have
seen fit to cut down the wages of their
overworked engineers and tiremen to less
than three cents per mile thereby max
ing their wages less than other roads pay
for the same work, and
WHEREAS, The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and Firemen are now
engaged in a general strike, and
WHEREAS, The life of the locomotive
engineers society depends on their sue
cess in this hand to hand struggle with
their tyrannical bosses. Therefore be it
ResOired That this meeting of the
American Section of the Socialist Labor
Party, of Minneapolis, do fully endorse
the action they have taken and that we
extend to them our sympathy and co
operation in all lawful ways.
Resot,ed, That the Secretary of the
Locomotive Engineers is hereby directed
to draw on our Treasurer for money
when needed. And be it further
Resolred, That we now request the
County Attorney of IIennepin County
to take immediate action to arrest the
officials of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad, who are guilty of the
horrible crime OF placing incompetent,
green or scab engineers and tiremen ON
passenger trains running between Min.

tomrade Badger in the WoRKMEN'S
ADVOCATE of this date, which astonished
me not little, and in which it is asserted
that Boston report in the Socialist crit
iclzed the American Section here in a
sneering and cavillng spirit. As | was
the writer of that report, and cannot see
in what manner have offended. beg

trary, have always stood up in its favor
in the meetings Of the German Section
