WALTHAM.

A week ago it was announced that Captain Huntington would speak before the newly organized Waltham Section last Sunday, May IS. Our esteemed Comrade was, however, compelled to cancel the engagement, and as it was too late to procure substitute from Boston, it was arranged that Mrs. Gun ming should read the first of two lec- lures by her husband, the late Prof. Cunning, written in the last year of his life, on the Enlightenment of Labor by Machinery" We shall give synopsis of it in our next number. Prof. Gun ming, whose wide range of knowledge and thinking power had gained for him high place in thexesteem of his fellow citizens, hadibeenla workingman in his youth. He gave seven of his early years to the old fashioned system of appren- ticeship the tailor trade, preparing himself for college at the same time. He never said Ego and do likewise, to auy young man. He knew the fearful cost at which he accomplished the double task too well to wish others to sacrifice themselves in the same way. It is told of him that he kept beside him on his tailor's bench, books-of what des- cription, those can judge who heard his teachings in later life. His aged sister relates that at fourteen he was studying until 3 o'clock in the morning, rejecting all the sports and recreation that na- turally mirthful nature demanded, to satisfy craving to learn the best things. He had long line of ancestry back of him that transmitted to him the will to do what, if he could have helped it, should not be laid on any human life to do. He didn't believe, never believed, that the way to get man to do his best was to bject him to woltish competi- tion. No distant question of science excluded from his mind for one mo- ment his broad idea of human brother hood.

DELUsIoN AND SNARE.
Strong Argument for the Abolition
ofthe Lien Laws by Prussing, of
ChicaOo

On1CaRO.
The convention was called to order
for the afternoon session at O'Clock.
The opening discussion was OH the lien
laws; ''Shall the National Association
Recommend Their Abolishment?" A
motion was made and carried. limiting
the time of discussion of any question
by each member to ten minutes each.
Mr.. Prussing. of Chicago, opened the
subject. He said:
The first attempt to create a mech
anics lien arose from desire to estab-
lish and improve as speedily as pos
sible the city of Washington as the
permanent seat of government of the
United States. At meeting Sept. 8.
1889, of the commissioners appointed
for this purpose, memorial was
adopted. urging the general assembly
of Maryland to pass an act securing to
master builders lien on the house
erected and land occupied, which was
during the same year followed by the
passage of law as requested. Gradual
ly this provision has been enlarged so
as to include
CLAIMS FOR WAGES
Of mechanics and labOrers employed
upon the building, though hired by con-
tractors or others selected by the owner.
This had been advocated and adopted,
on the ground that the owner may prop
erly be held responsible for wages due
mechanics and laborers from persons
selected and employed directly by him,
and whose antecedents and business
standing could be Investigated by him
far better than by wage-earners. People
argued that if it is proper to protect the
builder and mechanic by right of lien,
why would it not be good also for the
person furnishing materials? In fact,
all and everybody whose goods and
labor enter into the construction of
buildings? And because, in the absence
of
POSITIVE EXPERIENCE
on the subject. there were none to an
sweF this query, amendments upon
amendments were adopted from year to
year, constantly extending this scope,
ever bringing more classes under the So
called protection of the lien law, and
making its provisions more technical
and involved. until now thoughtful men
everywhere are ready to acknowledge
the lien law of to-day to be a deluSiOn
and snare, and it has become possible
under feeling of absolute disgust with
the operation of said laws for builders
to declare it preferable to do business
without any lien law at all. Now we
have the experience! Now we are ready
to answer the queryl Indeed it is not
well that protection by the
RIGHT OF LIEN
should be extended to anybody beyond
the mechanic and laborer employed at
building and the person directly en-
ployed by the owner. And why? Be-
cause in the light of experience we now
know that all parties in interest suffer,
and the true intent and object of the
statute is defeated thereby. To illus
trate: The parties In interest are the
owner. the architect, the contractor, the
subcontractor and the material man,
the subcontractor, If you please, the
mechanic and laborer employed at the
building, and the mechanic and laborer
employed away from the building, in
shop or quarry, in the preparation of

cheering. Secretary Brunell, of the
Players brotherhood, said this evening
regarding Judge O'Brien's decision AS
to John NJ. Ward: 1.-The decision
PROVES THE MIGHT OF RIGHT.
"Where will the fight lead now?
There is no fight. On the heels of an
adverse decision to US, fight would
have come, tor we we're fully equipped
for even that. The Players league will
now surround itself with minor leagues
and build up new group similar to that
bound by the national agreement, but
built on fairer lines. What about the
deserters and agreement breakers? The
old league will find them hard to hold If
we want to take them back. The play
ers' clubs and brotherhood will CON

of trial on the merits of the case. We
snail welcome one. Only court trial

morning train consisting of fifteen car
loads of flour, appropriately decorated
and inscribed with appropriate notices,
will start over the Duluth, South Shore
& Atlantic Railway for a through trip
to Boston. In many respect sthis train
will be most unique. The entire train
of cars are the product of the great car
works Of Duluth, the iron for which
was taken from Duluth's mines, and
the timber from its forests. The
-four is the product of the Duluth
Imperial mill, the finest Touring mill in
the world, and it was ground from the
celebrated Duluth No. hard wheat.
which commands the highest price of
any wheat grown in the world in the

them being 1.-THE great unsalted sea TO

"Receipts Of wheat at Duluth for the

HERE'S THE OTHER SIDE.
Deeves, of New York, Enthusias-

Deeves, of New York, Enthusias-
tically Favors Simple Lien
Laws.
Mr.. Deeves, of New York, replied to
the gentleman from Chicago. He said
at the last convention he was greatly
surprised to find there was too much an.
tipathy to lien laws. and especially no.
tlced this opposition as coming from the
members hailing from the West. 1t
was only within few weeks that he
discovered one of the causes of this op-
position. A book was handed him in
the exchange in New York, entitled
"Hand-book of the Builders and Trad
ers' Exchange of Chicago" and. glanc-
ing through its pages, he came across a
synopsis of the lien law Of the state OF
Illinois. After carefully studying it,
the mystery of the opposition
was explained. He no longer won.
dered why tradesmen should want
so-called lien laws abolished. for IL
the lien laws of most of our states were
like the law Of Illinois the mechanics
and tradesmen had no protection under
them. They were deluSiOn and q
snare to every mechanic and tradesmau
who placed faith in them. The proper
title for such a law would be, "How
mechanics and tradesmen can be de-
frauded sby illusory lien laws" He
proceeded:
Under this law of Illinois if a con-
tractor fails to make sworn statement,
when he seeks payment from the
owner, giving the name Of every snb-
contractor. mechanic and workman in
his employ, or person furnishing ma
terials, and the rate of wages or the
terms of contract, and the amount due,
and to become due to them or any of
them, and unless such sworn statements
is given as required, the contractor has
no right of action or a lien against the
property" The owner may at any time
during the progress of the work
DEMAND IN WRITING
OF the contractor the statement above
described. and If the contractor fails to
furnish such statement within five davs
after demand is made, he forfeits to the
owner for every such Offense the sum
of $50, recoverable in an action of
debt" And in addition to the fore
going, as II to make it more humiliating
to the contractor. the law recites: And
thereupon the owner, lessee, or his
agent, shall retain out of the money due
or to become due the contractor. an
amount sufficient to pay all demands
shown TO be due by the contractors
statement, and shall pay the same to
the persons entitled" The law further
states that "a payment of money made
by the owner or his agent before such
stat ement is made by the contractor, is
Illegal, and does not affect the right of
such sub-contractors, mechanics and
wOrkmen to lien."
Under such law the contractor be-
comes serf. Should he attempt to re-
cover on Len, the lawyer for the
owner would
