Some Timely Words BY Mr.. Glad
stone on the Labor Question.

LYNN, Mass, May 5.-About 70 operatives
in the factory of G. B. Patten, all Knights
of Labor. struck today because the Boot and
Shoe Workers International Union posted
price list not satisfactory to the knights.
Mr.. Patten says the trouble originated in his
refusal to discharge man at the request of
the Knights of Labor. He signed the pl ice
list because it was the same he had been
paying.
LAWRENCE, Mass, May 5.-The Central
Labor Union last evening adopted the fol-
lowing:
Whereas, We learn that the Knights of Labor
cutters OF Haverhill employed in Chicks have
struck ior an Increase of wages. and,
Whereas, We learn that III. j. Skefington and
II. j. MOulton have made pricelist with that
hrm at lower rate of wages than that asked for
by the Knights of Labor.
Resolved, That the Central Labor Union of
Lawrence condemn the above action of Skefing-
ton andMoulton, and declare It our opinion that the
above act was simply and solely TO satisfy per-
sonal spite against a sister organization.

THE RICH AND THE POOR.
Mr.. Cladstone's Words on Some AS
poets of the Labor Question.

LONDON, May 5.-An article by Mr.. Glad
stone, written for the British Workman, is
printed, in which the following reference to
capital and labor is made: "There may
come time when labor shall be too strong
for capital. and may be disposed to use its
strength unjustly. l conceive that in your
recent history the judgment of the masses
has upon the whole, been more generous and
Just than the Judgment Of the leisure classes.
Let 1t not be hastily inferred that if the fact
be so the meaning of it is that they have an
intrinsic and indefectible moral superiority.
1t means rather that for them the Organiza-
tion OF life and thought is simpler and their
temptations to pride, greed and selfishness
greatly less. Were the despotic relation in
which employers once stood to laborers to be
inverted, and were laborers once to obtain
an uncontrolled command, then in
deed, while their material condition
might be higher. they would be sub
si sSeh as they have ssan na1sr vs been %O5n ad trial
to undergo and such as only the strong re-
straints of the gospel could, in my Judgment,
enable them successfully to encounter. But
sucn contingency, though 1t may be posi-
PIE. is Indefinitely remote. 1t is most un-
likely to arise, and the experience of the Uni
ted States, which has gone nearest to trying
the question, will witness to that in all like
llhood, for there public right has been deyel-
oped TO the uttermOst by the action of public
law and by the tone of manners. Yet capital
must surely hold its own, since it grows in
tnat country more rapidly than ever. The
impartial citizen then has only to bid labor
erS godSpeed and heartily to wish by their
high standard ofIconduct. in their wise choice
OF calling, and in their equal and liberal re-
spect for the rights of all men, or rather all
human beings, they may be enabled progress
sively to consolidate the position they have
gained, and. so far as justice may recon-
mend, to improve it, The ultimate power
resides continues Mr.. Gladstone, Sin the
hands OF those who constitute our democra-
cy, and yet our institutions are not demo-
cratic. Their basis is popular, but upon
that basis is built hierarchy of classes and
Of establishments, savoring in part of feudal
times and principles, and this, not in despite
of a democratic majority. but on the whole
with their assent. | do not know whether

PROVIDENCE, K. l., May Sin the Investi
cation into the alleged abuses in the stat
home for children at Elmhurst, today, Miss
May l.. Hastings, formerly teacher in the
school, testified that Superintendent Healey

residence with marks upon him. He said he
had been punished with strap with an iron
nail In 1t. BOYS were compelled TO work in

witness said she had spoken to Mr.. Healey
about the cruelty Of this practice and he re-
fused to do anything to abate 1t. He told her
that she had spoken to him improperly. Mrs.
Hastings said the boys came from the super
intendent's presence with thumb marks upon
them. Mrs. Healey told the witness that II
she was going to stay in the children's insti-
tute she must get used to 1t and become hard
ed to such little things.
