CENTRAL LABOR UNION.

Louis F. Page was chairman of the Central Labor Union last Sunday. A committee of spinners from kearney, N. J., appealed for aid, which was promised, and Geo, w. Middleton, Jas. P. Archibald and E. E. Ford were ap- pointed as a special committee to wait on could not be effected before a general boycott on Clark's o. N. T. thread were proclaimed.
 A delegation of the Rochester shoe- makers were given list of the affiliated unions to enable them to solicit aid.
 The Theatrical Protective Union gave notice of their intended withdrawal, de claring that their organization would be ruined if the c. L. U. persisted in its in- tentlon of boycotting all theatres SUD- porting Mir. French in his fight against the union. A long discussion ensued, which resulted in the Theatrical Protec- tive Union being requested to recon sider its action. The c. L. U. thus virtu- ally backs down from its boycott against the French" theatres.
 The boycott against Meyers Bros., 1O2 Franklin street, who refuse to employ Hebrews, was endorsed.
 Boss baker Edelstein, the notorious scab and cockroach employer, sent a long communication stating that the Confecuoners' Union persecuted him, and he wanted the matter investigated. Although George K, Lloyd, J. J. JJnes, w. Henne and J. J. Sullivan advised the delegates to keep their hands of, as tic matter did not concern them, the bakers not being represented in the c. L. U. Charles P. Rogers, B. J. Hawkes., James Williams, E. E. Murphy and J. J. Jones were appointed to ''in- vestigate." Of course, boss Edelsteiu s object IS to have the boycott against l himself declared of.

Child Labor in New Jersey.

The Twelfth Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics of Labor of New Jersey for the year ending October 3l 7, 1890, shows the following percentages of child labor, between the ages of 12 and 15, in the various industries that are enumerated. Glass. blowers, green bottle and vial, 36; flint 3.6; window glass cutters, 8; hat tinishers, 60; hat mak CTS, 157; hat pouncers, 5,5; potters, mould makers, 546; jiggermen, 2S,3; turner's, 29.2; handlers, 22; pressers, 38.4; throwers, 66.7; sagger makers, 269; kilnmen, Ill; dippers, 167; decorators, fl 1; and lastly, packers and warehousemen, 220.
 Furthermore 1t appears that 112 chil- dren under the age of 12 are employed in the above trades. The largest number is to be found in the hat making and finishing trades; and 8 are employed in packing and warehousing.
 ht suodl'lSioh auopteu D9 lHe ouIedu may give a distant idea of the actual facts, but not one as accurate as it is desirable, More satisfactory would it be were the period between the ages of 12 and 15 divided into not less than two periods, say, from 12 to 13, and then from 13 to 1j. It were also interesting to know the exact ages of the l12 little tots Jumped under twelve years of age"

Nationalist Club No, 8.

At last Sundays meeting Mir. Winston delivered lecture upon "Parnell and England The speaker and most of those who followed him in the debate seemed to realize that, after all, the Par liamentary Party was not party hay ing the interests of the prole etariat at heart; that it was in fact bourgeois movement affected with all the ills that are incident to such. Nevertheless, they seemed to give so much time Tn their arguments to the individuals figuring in that movement, that it gave occasion for othe"s to call attenticn to that fee- ture of the proletariat of allowing itself to be drawn into the contentious of its enemies, to shout and to fight for them and allow themselves to be drawn by pure bourgeois questions of democracy and the like away from the only ques- tion that should interest the proletariat How to bring about the economic con ditions under which democracy and such other matters of form could be facts in stead of shams.
 At the next meeting Miss Ida van Et- ten will deliver an address entitled, The Working Women in Politics.

Socialist Victories in France.

The French Socialists are recording new victories at every election. A sign of the times is their progress in agricul- tural districts. In the Pas-de- Calais, where Alfred Decluze was lately elected Councillor General, large meetings were held in rural communes. and after lis tening to his addresses the peasants and agricultural laborers gave repeated cheers for the Socialist Labor party and the eight.hour day. At Commentry, where the troops had made murderous attacks upon the strikers, the middle class did not dare to place a candidate Tn the field, and Raoul Frejac, who had been imprisoned, was elected without opposition.

Socialist Victories in Italy.

An important Socialist Congress was held at Ravtnna, Italy, last month. Resolutions were passed embodying the Socialist doctrine as stated in the plat forms of the party throughout the world. Great encouragement was de- rived from the election of three socialist deputies to the Italian Parliament, in spite of the fact that number of groups tor sections) had decided to take no part in the campaign. Andrea Costa, who ran away to France in order to escape imprisonment, was elected in two dis tricts. He has been amnestied and will take his seat The party is very &C., tive and gaining ground rapidly among the Italian nlasses.

Cast by mistake for Geraw, 367, making a total of l3, 704.
 "This 13, 1O4 is not stupendous sum total when contrasted with the 927, 243 votes given Judge Earl, but when we consider that the Prohibition party, after all it's efforts and its long promi- hence in State and national elections, cast for Sias w. Mason, their candidate against Earl and Gerau, some B, 600 votes only, the l3,704 Socialists make a very good showing in this their maiden attempt in State contest"
 The New York Evening World com ments editorially as follows;
 "As an echo to the other surprises of the November elections comes the show ing by the official figures that the Social ists cast 13,704 votes in this State. Of this number 5,029 were cast ill New York County and the rest in the outside counties, where it had been supposed the Socialist vote would hardly be worth counting"

THE SOCIALIST VOTE.

The Press Astonished--A Total of 13, 1O4
 and Every County Except Cortland
 Returns Votes Comments of Now
 York Papers.
 We clip the following from the New York Sun:
 "One small county (Cortland) in the far interior of the State. with no large cities or railroad centres, stands con splcuous in the recent election as having cast no Socialist vote. The remaining tifty.nine counties cast all the way from to 5000 votes for Francis Gerau, the Socialist Labor candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals. In view of the fact that 1t was not expected that tierau would poll any votes outside of few of the larger cities, the result shown in the returns filed here with the Secretary of State is surprising and an object of interest to the student of the Socialist movement in this country. When Ge- rau's nomination papers were first filed here the State officials endeavored to find some technical defect therein that they might throw them out and avoid the expense and trouble of printing separate ballots with Gerau's name on them for every election district in the State. The papers were, however, cor rectly drawn, and the ballots were printed and distributed. This is what the returns from the several counties show as the Gerau Socialist vote:

 Delegate Lucien Sanial then presented an elaborate report of the proceedings at the Convention of the American Fe iteration of Labor at Detroit, Mich. His report was supplemented by delegates Waldinger, Bohm and Delabar and has been published in these columns. The report was attentively listened to and at its close vote of thanks was rendered the delegate.
 The resolution adopted at the mass meeting of the c. l.. F. at Detroit and presented by representative Thomas J.. Morgan, was endorsed and copy will be mailed to every represented union. A rising vote of thanks was rendered to T. J. Morgan and the representatives of the coal miners for the noble stand they had taken in behalf of this be iy and the cores spending secretary was ln- structed to forward the greeting of the c L. F. to them.
 Delegate Waldinger urged all unions to immediately establish strike funds, so as to aid the miners when they demand the eight hour work day on May l, 91.
 The delegane of the Clothing Cutters or Brooklyn, John J. Zuber, and the delegate of the Italian Stone Masons Prog essive Union, N. Conforti, were severely criticized for voting, at the Convention, against the C. l.. F. The Cor, Sec'y will request these unions to inform the body whether the opinion of their delegates IS the opinion of the Unions.
 Delegate Simon Gompers stated that the press of this city had, in its usual way, given unfair and inadequate re ports of the proceedings of the Conven- tion and consequently, while our Ger man brothers were enabled to read full accounts in the N. Y. VOIkSzeitung, the English-speaking were left in the dark. He thought it was high time for the progressive labor unions to combine and publish the WORKMEN' ADVOCATE as a daily. Great applause.
 Delegate Waldinger stated that MT. Samuel Gompers, Pres. of the A. F. of L., had said that Typographical Union No had requested him to organize a bona fde central body of labor in this city, and he would like to know if such was the fact The delegate of Typo graphia No. vehemently denied this. The inquiry made by his union was whether Mr. Gompers thought it advis- able to form Printing Trades District, and nothing more.
 Delegates Vogt, Sanial and Waldinger were elected committee to arrange a mass-meeting for the purpose of setting forth the action of the c. l.. F. in the matter of the A. F. of l..
 Delegates Vogt, Bohm and McVey were elected committee to issue a manifesto to Organized Labor through out the country, explaining the position of the c. l.. F. and it's connection with | the Socialist Labor party.
 All unions will take especial notice | that Webster Hall l1th street, between 3d and 4th avenues sells pool beer.
 Ale & Porter Union No collected $420 for the Boot and Shoe Workers and $1 80 for the Piano Varnshers. The Boot and Shoe Workers of N. Y. City donated S75.00 to their brothers in Rochester.

THE COKONEI,'s DUTY,
An Interview With Coroner Gray on the
Subject of Accidents.


''By the way said Coroner Gray,
after TINES reporter had interviewed
him in regard to the West End accident
81 wish you would state fact that l
before called to the attention of the
railroad authorities in the city.
when a person is injured in any
way by train, and after being con
fined by the accident for some time,
dies, the railroad or authorities have no
right to bury the body before the cor
oner decides upon the case. Very often
the person is buried and the coroner
never consulted, while at the same
time it is the duty of the coroner
to look into the case and ascer-
tain whether the person came to his
death by his own fault, or by reason
of negligence on the part of the railroad
authorities.
''Therc is penalty attached to the
non-fultillmcnt of his duty by the cor
oner in any single case, and for this
reason | must be careful in not neglect
ing any part Of my duty"
The coroner then related an instance,
in which he came near being used for
non-fulfillment of his duty by neglect
ing 10 hold an inquest over the body
of a person found dead one morning
under the window of room in which
he lived. The coroner did not hold the
inquest because told by the police au-
thorities that an inquest was not neces-
