Some Of the Old Jesse Ja'res Gang Meet
With . Warm Reception.
ST.. LOUIS, January 19.-An attempt was
made upon the Wabash train last night by
robbers near Missouri City. The train
was tagged and the engineer ordered out of
his cab. The officials had been warned of

Cooleys Lake. one OF the loneliest spots Or
the road was approached. The train
slowed up. The engineer saw that masked
men armed with rifles were standing ON the
track. "Get of there" said the leader OF
the three men. The engineer complied,
and just as he reached the ground an off,
Ger in the cab fred shot from the Gao.
1t was answered by a shot from the three
robbers which ratified around the engine,
but did no harm. The three men then re-
tired. As they moved back part of the
posse came up from the woods where they
had been in concealnent and opened fire
upon the robbers. About twenty shots
were exchanged. The posse continued in
pursuit OF the robbers, and it is reported
one Of the robbers has been killed and the
other two captured. The robbers are

The different iron trades of San
Frar cisco have learned that the
Risd ~ Iron Works are giving out
rn cts for machinery in the East
ern States and in Europe. This the
iron workers do not like, and they
ler.3 interviewed Mr.. Moore, Sup
erintendent at the Risdon Iron
Works on the subject. Mr.. Moore
gave them a straightforward bust
ness answer, to the effect that
the reason why the contracts
were going away from this
city was that the work could be
done cheaper, and he intimated that
the work must be done where it
could be done the cheapest.
The workingmen are naturally
not pleased with this answer, but it
is not stated that they attempted to
answer Mr.. Moore's facts about cost,
The Iron Molders' Union have
however, adopted the following reso-
lutions:
WHEREAS, The Iron Molders' Union
believers in all the home Industries
that employ free white labor, to the
end that our laboring people may be
able to obtain work at remuneratiye
wages; and whereas, upon investiga-
tion, we find that certain firms in
the iron trade in this city have re-
Gently sublet their contracts, either
in whole or in part, to European
manufacturers, while the work
could and should have been done
in our own workshops; therefore, be
it
Resolved, By Iron Molders' Union,
No. 1O4, that on and after Wednes-
day, November "a, 1888, we will
positively refuse to work for any
firm that sublets a contract for San
Francisco or California work to a
foreign or Eastern manufacturer if it
is clear that we can do the work in
our own shops.
Resolved, That, in a spirit of fair
ness to our employers this rule
shall not apply to any work already
ordered and not yet completed, but
we will strictly enforce it on all con-
tracts made after the 14th instant
We do not say that the Iron
Molders are wrong, we are for the
workingmen every time just as far
as they are right; and on the
principle of helping our neighbors
they are right in this case. But can
labor organizations succeed in q
general policy of insisting that work
shall be done in one way or in one
place, when it can be done cheaper
in another way or at another place!
We do not assume to decide this
question, or even (now) to answer it.
We only point out that it is large
fundamental question which is going
to come up for decision good many
times.
