THE RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
Think They Have Made Political
Cats Paws OF Themselves.


The railroad employees organization
was briefly discussed in Minnea polls at
the Grades and labor assembly at its last
meeting. when the matter came up in
connection with the signing of petitions
to the legislature. Interviews with rail-
road employees show queer state Of
opinion among them. The employees of
the different railroad shops have been
thoroughly organized in K. of l.. assem-
blies. About two years ago the men
attended regularly and took an interest
in organizations for their own benefit.
But the depression in other branches of
trade affected the railroad employees,
and the attendance at their assemblies
fell off.
During the months of August and
September in 1883, the foreman and
managers of the railroad shops called
meetings of the men, saying the ex-
penses were so great that they would
have to cut wages unless the men aided
the company in any legislative or other
projects that might be deemed advis-
able to put the companies affairs on a
paying basis.
An organization was formed in this
city, the officers being chosen from the
superintendent and foremen, and men
were sent out through the state to Or
ganiZe similar associations.
The employees in Minneapolis soon
saw that they were being utilized for
political purposes and quit attending
the meetings. Now the association is
practically dead, and none of its men,
bers can point to any good resulting
from it. One of the evils is that men
have been discharged from the shops
for not signing OetitiOu to keen nm
the present rates of fare between Min
neapolis and st. Paul, and others are
reminded of their promises made last
summer. Many are apt to sign such pc
titions against the dictates of their bet
ter judgment, because they can't afford
to lose their places at this season of the
year.
The men, as a rule. regret having
formed that association, and in future
will be more disposed to cling to organ
nations managed by themselves. The
practical experience of the past few
months has served as sort of object
lesson.

condition of the laboring people, and
showed. by reference to Carroll ID
Wright and other authorities, that the
present competitive system tends to
lower wages to that point at which life
can barely be sustained and another
worker brought up to take the place of
the present laborer.
L. N. Brosnan spoke on cooperation.
giving some humorous illustrations of
the different senses in which the word
is used, then showing the sense in
which it is used by political economists.
He gave history of the most success
full cooperative institutions in France,
England and the United States. then
are number of successful cooperative
institutions, and that outside of the f.
nancial gain, that their tendency has
been to render the working people in
dustrious, temperate, independent and
Intelligent.
III. B. Martin spoke on the eight-hour
question, referring to criticisms from
the press and showing by statistics that
while inventions and machinery have
thrice increased the productive capacity
OF labor during the past twenty-five
years, yet wages have increased twenty
i've per cent, and that an eight-hour
c"y VI even d SuOIter udy, Is Necessity
in order to utilize the increased product
i've capacity of the country. and make
consumers of the millions of idle people,
VINO at present have to be supported,
yet are denied the opportunity to labor.
L. ii. Lucas spoke of the unity of
thought and action that has lately de-
Veloped among different organizations,
and urged all to join some labor organ
lzation, more for the education to be re-
ceived there than from some hope of
immediate financial gain.
Mons. Baker and a cherus gave a
parting song, and after rendering vote
of thanks to the speakers, the meeting
journed.

nation to strange girls, who. COM
ing from the country, are apt
to 60 astray through ignorance.
One curious thing about girls, :"
she continued, ais that they come here
looking for places. After day or two
they disappear and all trace of them is
lost. It's rather an uncomfortable sup
position to conclude that these girls are
ehticed into improper places. But if
they get good places for themselves
why don't we ever hear of them?o
Mrs. Russell's comment on this mat
ter was repeated by several ladies, who
| would like to see bureau started which
would pay special attention to strangers
and those unable to look after them
selves.
Its thankless task" says one lady,
with a sigh. Pm tired trying to re-
form that portion of the world known
as the servant girl. Guess I'll board
after this. Then there'll be one less
place to fill.''
In talking to Representatives of differ
ent societies it is noticeable that there
is that
SAME LACK OF HARMONY
among them that exists among people
outside of the charmed circle Of Chris
tan love and SiSterhOOd. The w. C. T.
U. laughs at the Woman's Exchange
and Associated Charities, and those
institutions promptly return the COM
pliment. So the little war goes on.
About the only result of the afternoon
spent in TALKING and sightseeing was
the conclusion that servant girls them
selves are not grumbling much about
the intelligence offices as they exist,
and that this question is the popular
fad among class of ladies noted for
their energy and unselfishness. Now,

THE BRICKLAYERS.
The Organization of This Trade
Being Vigorously Pushed.

The Bricklayers' union held an opon
meeting at the Labor temple last
Wednesday evening. The hall was
crowded to its utmost capacity. Presi-
dent g. F. Trowbridge and U. W. Mel
son spoke at some length of the benefits
to be derived from craft organization,
and urged all brlcklayers to join the
union, so that they might work in har-
mony during the coming season.
Il. B. Martin spoke of the present
condition, and urged the importance of
organized effort. both for their own ben-
fit and that of other branches of labor.
At the close of the meeting there
were a number of applications for
membership, and by dint of persistent
effort and the holding of open meet
ings, the bricklayers hope within the
next six weeks to have every worker of
the craft in Minneapolis member of
the organization.
