A meeting has been called by some
workingmen, who, tired of irregular
employment in this city, propose to
remove td the West and found colony
upon the public lands. Of course, this
is no solution of the labor question.
Moreover, similar enterprises have fire.
quently failed in the past and inflicted
severe hardships upon the hopeful. con-
fident, energetic, but inexperienced
adventures. Yet, under capitalism,
hardship is to be expected by the worker
every where. and priyation or death
is no harder in the wilderness than in
the crowded centers of our so-called
civilization. Again, the fact that num-
Der of industrious and skilled mechanics
are driven by despair to form such plans
disposes of the monstrous assertion daily
made by capitalist organs that those on
" who don't want to work are idle. For
obvious reasons we give no advice; we
merely announce, as requested to do,
that meeting will be held for the afore-
said purpose at the Cooper Union. room

tention to the fact that the boss printer
Sullivan of Underhill Ave, near Bergen
St, was one of the best patrons of liquor
dealer Mcmahon, cor Underhill Ave.

resolved to pay the tax for three
months.

were then taken up for discussion, and
the following amendments adopted:
six months, shall receive salary of $40

New YORK, May 1.-THE ship
ment Of American cattle TO Europe,
alive and dead, last week amounted
10 5000 head, a falling Off Of -
per cent from the week before, at a
loss estimated at $50 a head. These
shipments represented n clean loss
of $4,000 TO the exporters. The
condition OF the English market has
become 50 bad that shippers find il
less disastrous TO keep the cattle here
and lose - per head freight space
for which they have contracted on
in some instances as far ahead as
September. Then they have the
chance Of utilizing the freight space
for other purposes. Meyer Gold
smith, Of this city, one OF the heavi-
est exporters, sent out yesterday
sos sheep In space which he eX-
pectel to ill with cattle. He said
he would lose money on the sheep,
but not so much as if he shipped
cattle. a sharp falling or in cat
tie exports may thus be expected,
If not indeed a total cessation.
Never before has there been such
decentralization among shippers.
kilograms asking relief have been
pouring in on the steamship agents
during the week. One shipper
offered SCI, OO1 TO cancel his CON
tract with one line. The shippers
also fear that Parliament will pass
a law placing a duty Oh cattle to
protect the English cattltmen.
