 ing Elements of the Labor Move
 ment Took Charge of Affairs" The Eight-Hour Committee of the Socialist Labor Party had its last meet ing before the May Day demonstration last Saturday at the Labor Lyceum. Comrade Hugo Vogt was in the chair; 90 delegates were present. New dele gations were seated from the following organizations:
 Central Labor Union.
 Int. Miller & Millwrghts' Union No. i. United Clothing Cutters
 Hans Sagau Association of Shoemak- CTS.
 United Pianomakers Lodges, 1, 9, 8, and H.

 A complete list of the participating unions up to date is published elsewhere. Reports were received from a great number of organizations. Many have decided to participate and elected dele gates, but their delegates were not pres. sent. The reports were very encourag- ing, especially in respect to the number in which the various organizations wlll turn out. Although an exact calcuIa. ton cannot be made, at least 5000 men may be expected to join in the demon stration.
 The Eight Hour League of the Ger. man Building Trades reported that it has dissolved and decided to turn over its funds on hand, sl5, to the eight-houl committee.

a union office, which means eight hours and union wages. The eight-ho day has also been secured by the
 PLAsTKRERS.
 A reduction of hours to nine per day will be demanded by the
 SILK RIBBON WEAvERS who also want the saturday half holiday strictly observed; the
 MOSAIC TILE LAYERS, and other trades
 An important movement which re- ceived much impetus from the eight hour agitation is the reorganization of THE CIGARMAKERs ORGANIZATIONS in New York. joint committee of all the local unions took the matter in hand and has carried it on successfully. A number of shops have been won for the union and the membership has enorm- ously increased.
 The most remarkable strides towards thorough trade organization has been made by the
 JEWISH wORKINGMEN of New York Organizations have been built up Tn almost every trade in which Hebrew workers preponderate and the United Hebrew Trades, the central body of the Hebrew unions, represents after an existence of few months an aggre- gate membership of 10000 workers. In many trades the new unions have scored important victories, gaining advances of wages and great reductions in the hours of labor, as in the case of the shirtmakers, the rloa km a Eprs tho soda ua atar xrnrEarc the spendermakers, and others. The kneepants makers are at present en- gagged in strike for an advance in wages, the abolition of the contractor system and less hours of labor. About 1000 men and 250 girls and women are involved in the strike.

THE CHICAGO CARPENTERS.

On April F, 1890, the Chicago carpen- ters opened the first important battle in the great May movement Of the present year. The step was long prepared; the carpenters council of Chicago resolved already in January to inaugurate an extensive agitation in favor of the eight hour day and to get ready for general strike if it should be decided to enforce the eight hour demand. Since then they have worked with unprecedented vigor in pushing the agitation. Meetings were held every week almost every night in all parts of the city; on Sundays half a dozen or more meetings were held. There are a great number of Danes, Swedes and Norwegians employed in the carpenter trade in Chicago and a special effort was made to bring these

 PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 21, 1890. Ernest Bohm, Sec'y Labor Conference,
 Neao York City.
 DEAR SIR AND BRoTHER:-Your favor of the 17th inst. came in my absence while on business of our organization in Rochester, N. Y. l now take pleasure in accepting your kindly invitation and will be present at your demonstration in Union Square on May 1st. 1890. am in thorough accord with the spirit and sentiment which animate the projectors of this meeting. The programme out lined fully meets my approval. It is in. deed high time that the ardent, sincere and hard working elements of the labor movement took charge of affairs in New York city. We have had enough of political clap-trap, hypocritic double dealing and cowardice The present is an occasion which requires courage, stability and self sacrifice. Wishing you every success in your demonstration on May 1st, Yours,
 P. J. MCGUIRE.
 Captain E. s. Huntington also sent communication accepting the invitation, provided he was allowed to treat the question from SOC alistc standpoint. After being assured of the socialistic character of the demonstration he sent another letter promising to be on hand.
 The Executive Committee submitted the following list of speakers: P. J. Me- Guire, E. $. Huntington, T. R, Wake man, $. E. Shevitch, Prof. De Leon, Dan. Harris, Paul Grottkau, E. Bruck- mann, II. Enrich A. Cahan, M. Zamet- kin, l.. Hill, Kowitz and others.
 On motion of delegate Stoffers from the Machine Workers Union No. 19 it was resolved that the Committee con- tlnue in the eight-hour agitation after May 1, and the unions represented asked to vote as to whether the committee should be permanent while the eight hour agitation was pending.
 The delegates were instructed to urge their respective organizations to buy quantities of the May numbers of the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE and Der .Sozia- hSt.
 Comrades Koehler, Sanial and Boehm were elected a committee to call on the Conference of the Women's Suffrage League and ask that they issue an ap- peal to the working women of New York to take part in the May Day demonstra. tlon.
 The committee then adjourned to Saturday, May 8, at the same hall.
 As we go to press welearn that several labor organizations of Brooklyn, among winch Cigarmakers Union No. 149, Car penters Union No. 29l and the s. L. P. | Section of Newtown have decided to at- tend the Union Square demonstration.

elements into the movement The agi- tation was very successful, hundreds of members were enrolled in the unions every week, and on April 4, the day when the present strike was decided upon, fully one thousand carpenters joined the union. The organization embraced at that time nearly every carpenter in Chicago; few hundred who had kept outside were enrolled during the first days of the strike.
 The strike was decided by mass meeting of carpenters held on April 4, and it was then resolved that work should not be resumed until the de- mands of the unions were conceded by the bosses. The strike was immediately endorsed by District Assembly 57 K. of L., embracing the Knights of Labor carpenters.
 The Chicago carpenters have been working 10 and 9 hours per day and their wages varied between 20 and 35 cents per hour. The demands for which the carpenters are now striking are eight-hours per day and uniform rate of wages of 40 cents per hour for all carpenters.
 On the second day of the great strike the number of carpenters on strike was 1000 and they have remained firm to man. The bosses at first attempted to persuade those strikers who had only recently joined the union to return to work; then they tried to import scabs from other places, but they failed con- pletely in both attempts.
 The effect of the strike has been to bring all building operations to a stand still. Other building trades, as the bricklayers, painters, laborers, plaster CTS etc., have been compelled to stop work and the number of men idle in those trades amounts to 50,000
 There are two classes of
 EMPLOYING CARPENTERS
 in Chicago; the bigger portion of the trade is in the hands of about 150 large employers who control what is known as the old master-carpenters' association. Besides these there are about l,500 small Ter employers. The latter are willing to make concessions to the men; they have formed new association which has been in negotiations ~ith the carpen- ters' council for a partial resumption of work. The old bosses association refuses to treat with or in any way recognize the union. But number of the bosses belonging to the old association are dis satisfied with the obstinate attitude of their colleagues and defections are talk. ing place to the new association. The latter has already offered to secure em. ployment to $500 men if partial re

GERMANY.

In no country will the May demon strations be so universal, so imposing and so enthusiastic as in Germany Hav- ing taken part through one hundred de- legates in the great Paris congress which issued the order for these worlds demonstrations, the German working class have gone into this movement with the same energy, zeal and discipline which enabled them to roll up the tre- mendous vote of last February. There will be no town and no trade that will not have it's eight-hour demonstration on May 1. For the last two months hundreds of meetings have been held every day resolving in favor of celebrat- ing this day; every trade convention, every tabor 2 erence, every mass meeting that K )een held since, has re- echoed the wa.chword; Demonstrate on May l."
 On April 13, the socialist members elect of the German Reichstag met in conference at Halle and issued an appeal to the workingmen and working women of Germany, calling upon them to arrange meetings, celebrations or de- monstrations everywhere on May 1, and endorse the resolutions of the Paris con- gress. At all these demonstrations peti- tions to the Reichstag demanding the adoption of the measures embodied in the Paris resolutions are to be submitted for signatures. Every effort is to be made to maintain perfect order. The proclamation of a general holiday on May 1 is not deemed advisable, but wherever a holiday can be secured without danger of conflict such step may be taken. The main point of inn portance is the uadnimty and simultane- opsnesS of thtS movement throughout the | ICOrld.
 The caution about the dangers of enforcing a general holiday may be ex- plained by the evident desire of the German government to provoke con- flict and thereby find an excuse for l (Contin,sd on second page.)

 FRANCE.
 Paris, labor's historic battle field, promises to be true to it's glorious record and again lead the countries of the world in the labor movement. If the ex- pectations of the leaders will prove true, the Paris workingmen will turn out 200, 900 strong, By the invitation of the Socialists (of the Marxist wing) a large number of delegates of labor and trade societies met and decided to arrange a monster parade and demonstration. The following appeal was issued:
 "WoRKINGMEN OF FRANCE:-Several million workers of Belgium Germany, Austria, England, Spain, Italy, Den- mark and the United States are making preparations to leave their shops on May 1 and demand peaceably, by public meetings and demonstrations, indispens- able reforms.
 "CoMRADEs:--You, who have always marched in the vanguard of this move- ment, will not fail to show yourselves equal to this occasion! Conscious of his rights, but disregarding contemptuousIy all provocations, every man will come to the rendezvous of his class and of the Socialist party, and do his dutyw
 We do not apprehend conflict in France. We do not anticipate an in- surrection if conflict should take place. Nothing is more improbable. But. as Paris has always proved city of great surprises and world shaking volcano when in eruption, the eyes of all are riveted upon it.
 The gigantic dimensions which the de- monstratlon will assume have therefore 50 alarmed the government that it has announced it's determination to prevent the demonstration, by force if necessarily. But the workingmen of Paris cannot be intimidated; they have been holding numerous meetings every day to com plete preparations. Though M. Constans, the Minister of the Int, rior, is credited with a readiness ''to shoot at the first provocation," the Socialists go bravely on confident that 100000 workingmen marching in line will be in no danger of interference
 A great eight-hour strike is likely to take place in the St. Etienne mining district. A Miners Congress, which met at St. Etienne last week, re- solved to demand eight hours and uni. form wages in all collieries and if these demands are not complied with, to strike on May 1.

Ex-JaiIer Morrison of Alameda Has Re.
sn,nod HIS Freedom
John Morrison, who was accused of nav
ing released several Chinese risoners in his
care in the Alameda Jail, was up for trial
before Judge Ii ffman yesterday in the
United States District Court.
After presentation of the facts, the
Court decided that Morrison could not be
held accountable since the Chinese were
not in his care by due legal process of q
court in the Northern District OF California.
Thus terminated one OF the scandals in con-
nection with the exchange of remanded
Chinese from the Alameda County Jail.
Collector of the Port Phelps, in speaking
of the case, said: 'The Court Numbered
1t found that those Chinese had no legal
right to remain in this country. but it did
not remand them into my hands for deporta-
ton. The papers for their deportation
should not only have been made out, but
each step should have been fully set forth
In other words, they should have been de.
livered over TO a United States Marshal to
be again delivered into my hands for de.
portati0n. The whole affair was a blunder
and MorrsOn's escape is on a technicaity.'
