AND IN THE MEANTIME 2

Dust and dampness are the principal causes of injury to the potter and render his trade one of the most hurtfu to health Theory and experience coincide herein Moreover, the fact is admitted by Mr. James Bishop, chief of the Blu reau of Statistics of Labor and Indus tries of New Jersey, Yet his only sug- gestlon to remedy the evil is:
 If means could be discovered by which this can be obviatcd, there ia no doubt that the potter's art might be raised from a very unhealthy and short lived to d healthy and Iong'lived one"
 And in the meantime, while the nat ural sciences are slowly developing to the point of perhaps being able to obvi ate the evil, shall we coldly shrug our shoulders, wait and leave untred eco- homie remedies, ready at hand and of easy appllcatiOn
 A reduction of the hours of work would instantly check the evil. If in stead of the long hours now prevalent Tn the potteries, a workday shorter by at least one-third of the present time were instituted, the source of danger would be escaped by at least that much. Furthermore, if the wages the employer in the potteries now withhoIds and calls his profits, were decreased by propor- tional and tangible increase of the wages he pays out, increased opportunities would be enjoyed by the potter whereby better to provide for his own health. The former method would reduce the germs of disease within the body; the second would counteraCt the effect of those inhaled; the two together would go far to stop the crying evil.
 We need not loll in apathy while sci ence progresses, and postpone to an ip- definite day the time when the "potter's art may be raised from a very unhealthy and short lived to a healthy and long lived one." The human carnage in the potteres could be stopped now.

@ that if representatives of labor were sent to Washington, they should not appear there in the attitude of political intriguers or contemptibie beggars, but as Members of Congress, elected by their fellow wage.wOrkers.
 We believe, and in fact we know, that their constituents with an understanding of Socialism very different from that which they formerly had, and that the light which they received in Detroit will not be kept by them under the bushcl. It now rests with both the Cen. tral Labor Federation and the Socialist Labor party, not only to preserve the advantage gained, but to follow 1t up with steady progress under q wise and firm policy,
 In our opinion, then, the position taken by the Central Labor Federation, and upon which the fight has been made in the Detroit Convention against political sCabbsm, must be maintained; l-bccause it is right and unassailable; 9 because it's soundness, already now conceded by many, cannot fail to he soon recognized by all; 3-beCause it cannot under any circumstances inter. fere with the protection which the Anne. rcan Federation is in duty bound to extend to those of its affiliated unions that are represented in the New York central body; and 4--bccause it is the only position actually consistent witI the best interests of the American Fe iteration itself, which require the active GO operation of the most earnest and advanced workers in the labor move ment.
 Of course, this position can only be maintained by carrying out the vigor ous policy which it logically involves - that is, by demonstrating, in the light of bined action of the Central Labor Fed eration and the Socialist Labor party is < most potent factor in organization.

The mills of the Clark Thread Com pany in kearney and Newark closed down shortly ago and almost three thou sand people were thrown out of employ ment. The excuse given by the firm is that the mills are closed for repairs until January 1. when work will again be resumed, but the employees insist that they are locked out to satisfy the spleen of Superintendent Walmsley for the per sistent efforts they have made to oust him from his position. Neither Walmsly, who came into notoriety two years ago as the result of strike among the girls employed in the mills because of their refusal tO discaid the hustle, nor the members of the firm will say anything about the shut down. Of those who are now out of employment 2,5Oo are young women, l92 spinners and lO2 Creelers.
 Some time ago railroad employers passed
 a decree aganst the boards, now others rule out the buStles of their employees.
 The girls. be it noted, defend their rights more spunkily then did the men.

DECEMBER 20, 1890.
THE DETROIT CONVENTION.

For the views hastily expressed here as we go to press the etitor alone can he held responsible. He has just returned from the Detroit convention and had no opportunity of either rendering to his constituents an account of his mission as representative of the New York Cen tral Labor Federation or ascertaining the general drift of opinion among them
 The sum of his personal impressions of men and things in Detroit may best be expressed by the term, "satisfac- tion." True, he found there-a8 he ex. pected to tind-that the cpse which it devolved upon him to present had al ready been prejudged by q majority of the organizations represented in the Convention, and that many of the dele gates had been instructed to vote against his ad iasion. As Socialism was more or less directly involved the capitalistc pr ess throughout the country had not been idle, it had done its work with it's usual effectiveness. Yet, upon the ques. nF yiYrin i IN tive a hearing on the floor of the con. vention, thirty-three delegates only voted in the negative, whereas forty nine proclaimed their sense of fair play by granting him this important privi. lege.
 From that moment the pending issue became clearer and clearer every hour in the minds of the delegates; not that the brief statement made by the New York representative was in itself sufficiently plain and exhaustive, but that in the great debate which followed, thanks chiefly to the ability displayed by Thos. J. Morgan, of Chicago and to the courageous standing of influential dele gates from the miners, glass workers and other powerful trades, flood of light was cast upon the true nature of the labor movement, such as had never before illuminated the subject in labor convention on this side of the Atlantic The fierce and actually desperate oppo- stion of Mir. Gompers served only to emphasize the issue, and, by atfording our outspoken friends an opportunity of exploding antiquated notions or expo, sing the sophistry of conservatism" socaled, gained us many sympathies. For reasons already stated, the New York delegate could not, under any circumstances, have been seated But the effect of the debate was suhsequent- ly made plain by the overwhelming de- feat of Mir Gompers in all his pet schemes-among which the issue of an official journal and the appointment of a lobbying committee. The Convention had vividly realized l1) that in the hands of any President If the American Feeder. ation of Labor and especially in those of such A passionate man as Mr. Com pers (who had just shown that he did not even scruple to mtsquote and other wise distort the language of an opponent in his very face), an official journal might prove dangerous weapon, and

The following letter was received from August Rebel by Secretary B. J. Cir, tsch in answer 10 an invitation to make an agitation tour in the United States
 Berlin. November 20, 1890. ESTEEMED COMRADE-However flat. tering to me your invitation is, and however anxious feel to yield to your wishes for the sake of our common cause, yet for several reasons such is utterly impossible to me. In the first place, the parliamentary work has be- gun, 1t requires my personal attention, and cannot neglect it; then, also, have undertaken literary duties, which now must fill and, which bind me here for several months; finally, family con cerns have arisen. that would render my absence from home very disagreeable to me.
 follow with interest and as well as 1 can the development of the movement in the United States; and am happy to learn from your letter that the prospects are excellent and that Socialism is steadily gaining ground among you. This, indeed, l5 the case every here else and the industrial Crisis we are eXperien. Cing anew, and which may yet reach further than any other heretofore, gives Us reason to expect that the I0gIC of things will drive into our ranks many a one who holds different views to day With Social Democratic greeting,
