An Appeal from tho socialistic Labor
Party.

NEw YoEK, June S-The Socialistic
Labor party has issued an appeal to work
ingmen to enter more generally into poll
tics and to this end to send delegates from
all labor unions and organizations to n
meeting which is 10 be held July 10 next in
Clarendon Hall. At that convention the
plan for the next labor campaign will be
considered. The appeal, after stating that
employers of labor will never aid working
men by increasing pay or shortening hours
of labor, advodates that workingmen should
join the S0ciaiistic Labor party. Among
other arguments advanced in favor Of this
thee ory. it is stated that the democratic and
republican parties both do as their employ
ers, the capitalists, desire. The point is
also made that the Socalistic party is the
strongest power in Germany and that it has
made the labor question an important one
in the German Parliament. II is also int-
mated that the Socialistic party has done
more than any other to establish the eight
hour rule in this country and for that rca-
son it should be sustained by all friends of
organized labor.

ean Francisco City Hal, Frauds.

SAN FRANcIsco, June S.-Another job
has been discovered in the construction of
the new City Hall, which has been building
for twelve or fourteen years, and has al
ready cost the city nearly $4,000. 900. In
this instance the fraud consists in making
the four foot wall. supposed to be of solid
brick. q shell with eight inches of masonry,
the intervening space being filled with dirt
and rubbish. Thus far the contractors
have saved about $1,000 bricks. The his
tory of the building is a long story Of job
berry. Many contractors have become
wealthy from it. and one man who was ap-
pointed overseer of building material, and
was to be kept on the pay roll as long as
long as there was any work. made quite a
fortune by hiring men to move a pile of
bricks from one corner of court to another
when work OIL the rest of the building had
ceased.

organization of a volunteer force and the
