a great deal Of opposition both from the
men affected and those who sympathize
with them in opposing the tyrannical
action of the boss bakers.
1t is true u number Of non union hands
have taken the places of the strikers in
some of the bakeries, but they are in
ferior workmen, as might be expected.
Tho outlook for the strikers is certainly
not encouraging at present owing to the
large number of idle bakers in New York.
Still there is hope for them in the
generous help which will undoubtedly be
rendered by other trades unions.

have enough members present TO form

bly,, but was again unsuccessful, receiv-
ing 200 votes
There was an interesting discussion on
the labor question at the Tabernacle on
Tuesday night Some labor men who got
wind Of the affair attended and were
gratIfied at the outspoken uttefances OF
the Rev. John L. Scudder, who declared
that the poor man did not want charity,
but fair show. He denounced trusts"
IN his strong, characteristic style and
said that some day the workIngmen OF
this country would use their votes in the
direction of taking the industries of the
country away from the monopolists and
putting them into the hands of Uncle
Sam, to run in the interest of the whole
nation. AS the Tabernacle Debating So
clety propose to recur to the subject
again, it is likely that much prejudice en-
tertained by some church members to the
labor movement will be dissipated.

almost to man in favor of eight hours.

AT recent meeting the Hudson Coun-
ty Undertakers' Association expressed
its willingness to support the Coach
Drivers Union, but protested against any
interference with non-union drivers.

men ind it is safe to say that in little
while their troubles would be at an end.
The Central Traces Assembly will hold
q regular session next Thursday night
Secretary James A. Stuart desires the adj
dresses of all secretaries affiliated with
the central body.
The convention of the General Assembly
of the knights of Labor at Atlanta, Ca,
next month will probably be the most
important in the history of the big order.
Upon the action of this convention will
depend the question whether there shall
be concerted demand for an eight hour
work day throughout the country next
year. Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Trades, has been
invited to appear before the General AS
sembly and will nrge the knights to de-
clare with the open unions for eight
hours.
The employing printers union has de-
nounced the eight hour movement.
An artful scheme to prevent the CO.
operation of the Manhattan Elevated Rail
road employees in the eight hourquestion
has been disclosed. The company has
printed a list showing the rate of wages
paid to its men by the hour 1t is not ex
pected that the gatemen with their pres
ent pittance of twelve and half cents an
hour will be enthusiastically inclined to
join in movement which, it is inferred,
may reduce them to less than a dollar
day.
Hoboken Brotherhood of Carpenters,
No. 39l, discussed the eight-hour question
at its last meeting and concluded that it
would be better to strive for nine hours,
which some of the members say they can
not secure at present. No. 391 thinks
there may be trouble ahead in any en-
deavor to enforce eight hours.
