ANOTHER BOYCOTT.

A Weli.Known Firm of Plumbers Placed
Under the Ban Yesterday.
The latest firm in this city to be placed
under the ban of boycott, similar to that
for which labor leaders are on trial, is Nc
Knight & Victory, of Smithfeld street.
Yesterday morning dodgers were posted on
the telegraph poles along Smithfeld street
and the public was requested to withdraw
patronage from the firm. The grievance
was that the firm was running a non-union
shop.
The trouble is about one of the men in
tine shop, who has fallen behind in his dues
to the Plumbers Union.
The firm will pay no attention to this
boycott, instituted by its four striking union
plumbers

FOR THE BUILDERS.
A Movement on Foot to Organize Them Into
Mixed Assemblies.

A Movement on Foot to Organize Them Into
Mixed Assemblies.
A movement is on foot among the mem
bers of the new Builders League to organ
ize mixed local assemblies of the knights of
Labor composed exclusively of workers in
the building trades. This will be in addi-
tion to the regular organizations of the
mechanics. Out of the mixed assemblies
there shall be formed Central Council, to
be composed of delegates from the mixed
assemblies. Each craft or trade in the
mixed assemblies shall be entitled to one
delegate. Out of the Central Council will
be organized General Council, composed
of delegates from the former body. The
General Council will be the highest body,
and all questions that cannot be settled by
the Central Council will be referred to it.
Although the mixed assemblies will in
clude everybody engaged in the work of
building, the different crafts will settle their
own disputes.

Pullman Conductor Most Outrageously

Pullman Conductor Most Outrageously
Insults n Colored Lady.
Thomas Hyman traveller, was at the
Union Depot last night. He stated that on
the night before colored lady got on the
Pullman car at Nashville, and sat down in
the only empty seat in the coach. She had
telegraphed ahead for berth, but one had
not been reserved for her.
A friend of the conductor came in and
claimed the seat, having made no arrange
ments for it. The colored woman at the
request of the conductor declined to vacate
the seat, when the latter struck her in the
face. Most of the passengers had retired,
but in a very few minutes some gentlemen
were up, and took the part of the colored
lady. The conductor apologized most alb
iectlv to avoid a small-sized riot, and it
was with difficulty that he escaped without
a good clubbing. Mr.. Hyman says he will
report the fellow to the Pullman Company.
