The Central Labor Union Attends a
Socialist Meeting.

The agitation meeting of the Baltimore
Section held at Metamora Hall on Sun
day morning last was well attended, and
much interest was manifested in the pro-
ceedings. The Central Labor Union at
tended i'll body.
The Socialist platform was discussed.
and Comrades O. Dorm and Charles
Mannell made speeches. in which, it was
shown that, owing to the rapid invention
and increase of machinery in every
branch of industry, the working people
would soon be brought to reason; hun
dreds of unemployed are added daily to
the vast army of tramps Electricity
moves the machinery of our large fac
tories, displacing steam power and add
ing more to the number of OutCasts To
oppose such useful Inventions, to be OPP
posed to the introduction of such labor
saving machinery is useless, and work
ers had no reason to do SO. But what
are they to do; Are we born to suffer
or to enjoy the blessings of this earth
BY means of our trades and labor organ
izations, formed on:a basis of self-protec-
tion and elf-help, it is impossible now
a-days to amehorate our condition, for
if all workers are members of our trades
unions or assemblies, we cannot compel
the boss to send his iron SCab, the ma
chine, to that union. You have only

success wherever it exists, especially in
Germany, France and Belgium; it is ac-
tive in propagating its principles in this
country, and has met with considerable
success. 1t is the Socialist Labor Party
the only party that strives for the en-
tire emancipation Of the toilers, for the
abolition of the wage system, thus seCur-
ing the freedom of the proletariat for
ever.
The local "republican machine pa
per, the american, was quite excited
over the success of our agitation meet
ing, and therefore on Monday morning
We found belittling report in that sheet

entire number of the Socialists was

cialists are not sleepy in our city.

take" says Comrade Bebel.
At the last Labor Conference of Mary
land the question of inviting "Labor's
friend, Mayor Latrobe, to make an ad-
dress on Artisan : Day came up. The
delegates present had at least presence
of mind enough to invite no man en-
gagged in turning the wheel of the old
political machine, as they begin to re-
Cognize that the emancipation of the
workers must be accomplished by the
workers themselves. The Federation Of
Labor will hold moonlight excursion
for the benefit of a fund to send dele
gates to the next congress of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at st. Louis.

BOSTON,.
The Socialists and the Central Labor
Union-A General Report.

We are not asleep in this burg by any
means. Although the individualists of
Boston have made a great deal of noise,
yet their adherents are comparatively
few. At the public meetings which
were held under the auspices of the An
archist Club it is safe to say that over
one-half of the audiences were Socialists.
We have been holding public agitation
meetings twice a month, and business
meeting after the public meeting. This
took place in Goldman Hall, and during
the cool period had good attendance,
and picked up number of members.
During the hot weather our meetings
fell off some but we managed to get one
or two new members at each meeting.
At the meeting held Sunday, August 5,
it was determined to adjourn our meet
ings until the first Sunday in October,
on account of the extreme heat. Since
our meeting it has been p0inted out that
such action was in violation Of the con-
stitutiOn. Provision was made, how
ever for open air meetings, if the organ
izer deemed it advisable. That sturdy
old veteran lin the battle for 5ociallstic
ideas. Comrade H. W. Brown, declined
to serve amy longer a organizer. The
Section, recognizing that he had borne
the burden as long as one person ought
to be obliged to bear 1T, elected a
woman, Mrs. s. H. Merriheld. in his
place. He will give her the benefit Of his
experience. The rumpus kicked up in
the Central Labor Union. which finally
led t. the credentials Of the delegates
from this section being returned, has
done no harm to socialism and its ideas,
althoughit has injured the Central Labor
Union. That body, which played sec
ond fiddle TO no other central body pre-
vious to that time, now has very small
meetings, and does very little of import
ance. The gimp has been knocked out
of IT, The Socialists and their sympa-
thizers, many of whom also withdrew,
really were the brains of the body and
hard workers, ard brought up broad
| questions, which were handled in an in

VOTERS.

The great difference, in politics, be-
tween the capables and the "incapa-
bles, between the cunning few and me
unthinking masses, is this; The smart
ones vote and talk and work for their
own personal or class interests-present
or future. The masses vote as someone
tells them they ought to vote-for this,
for that, for the other for the party A
few, very few only, have the sense to
resolve. Il will vote 80 and so, for reas-
ons satisfactory to myself and fewer
still have the firmness to keep that reso-
lution.-Hases Valley Aduertiser.

what | want YOU to think of is this

Mr.. B got offended, and somewhat
abruptly terminated the converse
ton. But D's words had an effect.
There was neither reduction nor
strike at his mill, and some years
afterwards he acknowledged to D
that he had found that it paid to
take the advice he had given him.
But B hasn't as yet adopted a
farer system Of dividing the joint
product Of the labor of his men and

when the exposition at Barcelona oc-
CURED. The Mayor Of the town read
him long speech as he sat upon throne
propped up by pillows and bedecked
with finest laces. The king didn't un-
derstand what was said, but his wet
muse did. During the Grafton the little
king did what other infants do when
they have got nice clean clothes on. The
wet nurse sIyly took ont her smelling
bottle and applied it to hernose She is
a privileged character. The Mayor,
however, continued his speech to his
sire and "his majesty and his pun
gency, One would really think the
Mayor of Barcelona and the Spanish
king worshippers were lunatics, if it
wasn't for the fact that they make it
pay. American capitalists stand a great
deal of odoriferousness for the sake of
money

A BOURGEOIS TRAGEDY.

A Paris tradesman one night recently
asked the old woman who came around
every morning to clean up his store if
she liked TO see people hanging, and
when she said no. told her she had better
not come around the next morning then.
She supposed it was a joke until the
next morning, when she pushed open
the door and found the dead body of the
man hanging in the passage, He had put
upon the shutters: "Closed on account
