The organization this week of the

of building trades complete in that line
ment is a live issue to them. All are
discussing the question carefully, but do
lot care as yet to make any public an
Aouncement of their plans.
The cigarmakers are carrying on
lively agitation in favor of the blue
label. One dealer was arrested on
Tuesday and found guilty of using a
counterfeit label. His sentence was
suspended, but the union intends prose-
cutting all such offenders to the full eX
tent of the law. The agitation in favor
of the genuine label has already made a
noticeable Improvement in the trade
Commissioner John Lamb is still! after
the employment agencies, Several
agents were arrested in January for do
ing business contrary to the state law.
Sentence was suspended and all agents
ordered to comply with the state law by
Feb. l. Mr.. Lamb finds that none of
them have done so. The reason alleged
is that the city charter provides that no
subsequent act of the legislature shall
affect the provisions of the charter I'M
less such acts are mentioned as amend
mentS to the charter. The state law in
regard TO employment agencies does not
mention the city charter, and thus
leaves a chance for technical evasion
of its provisions. Mr.. Lamb says it may
be necessary to make test ease OF one,
but that he will do all in his power to
enforce the state law, which provides
that each employment agent shall file
bonds for $4,000, aud pay 500 license.
One of the daily papers. in comment
inh on the proposed Workingmen' Re-
form club, stated that a resolution to
that effect had been introduced at the
last meeting of the trade and labor as
semDly and voted down. That is mis-
take. No such resolution was offered
and consequently no vote taken. The
reform club proposes TO work entirely
separate from the assembly so that no
political discussions need be held at its
meeting. Most of the delegates to the
trade and labor assembly favor the
formation of the reform club and will
probably belong TO it, but it will not be
necessary to ask anybOdy's permission
to organize such club.
The convention of the Farmers alli-
ance this week was largely attended by
organized wOrklngmen who were curl
Gus to see what action would be taken
by the farmers. While there was nc
official exchange Of views, yet it seems
as if the farmers are beginning to see
that in many respects their interests and
those Of city w0rkmen are one and that
each could materially aid the other in
many respects. The farmers propose
to control the next legislature. If they
do it will certainly be both interesting
and instructive to study the manage
ment of affairs.
