cag0. Water, he said, had actually been
| made ''dearer than bread" by private
ownership of the public supply. When
he had male clear, by a practical and
local issue, the necessity of socia1ing
water, the succeeding speakers-Judge
Wheeler and Burnette G. Haskell
showed the necessity of socialzing
every thing else. Money rules our land
and rich men crowd the halls of leglsla.
ton exclaimed Judge Wheeler. "The
hlrelin2s of corporations debauch our
law makers and have more power than
any despot of the middle ages ever had.
There is but one cure for this, and that
Is to own our own railroads, water
works, etc. prolonged applause.) Some
say that the government cannot do
this as well as II corporation. The
American government can do any
thing. 1t can carry on a great and
successful war and conduct $4,000

deliver it in the southwest corner of
Texas and not miss one in million can

Why, if the railroads would pay to the
State their just debts. we would own
the railroads today. (Applause) When

the Government can run a railroad it
can run telegraph line. Why should

New York, when the government can
do it for 10 cents"
Burdette G. Haskell was, If possible,
more "Socialistic" still in his utterances.
He said:
"A system of society which suffers
little boys and girls to work in cotton
mills BRIGHTLY termed "Hell's mills" by
brave old John Swinton) for 20 cents
week deserves overturnng, and the man
or woman who can and yet will not
assist in doing so partakes of the shame
and guilt attached to the civilization.
A country like this but only wrested
from the hands of tyrants, whose brave
people dethroned kings and made its
citizens sovereigns; a continent washed

thing which should bring the crimson
blush of shame to the cheek of every
true American"
AT this juncture two members of the
club dressed in costumes to represent
the characters, came suddenly upon
the platform and enacted and sang
"The Tramp and the Millionaire" The
surprise was complete and created great
merriment and prolonged applause.
After second superb chorus by the
German Mannerchor, the meeting,
which in every particular was an over
whelming success, came to a close, the
audience taking with them some 1900
blanks, besides buying about 100 copies
each of Looking Backward" and the
"Co-operative Commonwealth.

it failed to pass the Legislature in the
first year of its history, was vetoed by
the Governor in its second winter, and
has been fought inch by inch both by
the catholics and the principals of prl-
vate schools, with all of whom it is be-
leved TO interfere.
"We object to its compelling too little;
Governor Hill objects to it as compelling
too much, and said SO in his veto mes
sage.
"Such is the bill drawn by the school
authorities, urged by the philantropists
of the Children's AID Society, fought by
the Catholics and the private teachers,
vetoed by the Governor, and now PIE
sented to the School Conference for its
endorsement.
in view of the facts before stated, your
committee recommend that the School
Conference do not endorse the present
bill but formulate statement of the de-
mands which must be met by any law
honestly intended to provide for the
education of the children of the Com
mOnWealth."
The report was adopted.
The Committee of Arrangements has
divided Itself into sub committees on
speakers, resolutions, etc, and will CO.
operate with the special committee ap-
pointed last Sunday by the Central La
Dor Union. 1t has engaged the great
nall of Cooper Union for Wednesday
evening, February II, and paid $25 on
account; the balance of $50 to be paid on
or before the day of meeting, Some of
its members have privately corresponded
with Edward Bellamy and obtained
from the distinguished author an assur-
ance of his willingness to address the
Cooper Union meeting on the 12th inst,
provided his health, which has been
somewhat shattered by recent attack
of Ia grippe, would then permit him to
venture out. The announcement was
greeted with applause, and an official
invitation was Immediately sent by the
committee to Mr.. Bellamy,
The final report of the Committee of
Arrangements will be submitted to the
Conference at its next meeting, Friday,
teb. Z. As matter of course it is not
only desirable but highly important to
have a full attendance of delegates on
that evening, and with this end in view
the Secretary was instructed to CORE
spond with the various organizations
represented in the Conference, and to
publish notices N the newspapers.
The organizations are also requested
to send in some money contributions.
The balance on hand is about $54, or
just sufficient to pay for the hall, and it
is estimated that $15 more are needed
to cover the most necessary expenses,
such as hand bills, posters, etc.

TIGHTENING THE ROPE.
All the Manufacturers of Cordage and
Twine Have Combined.

IWIne nave SomDlnou.
1t is reported that all the manufac-
turers of cordage and binding Irvine in
the country have within the past few
few days formed an association intended
to do away with former differences be-
tween individual companies and to Gre
ate more harmony of interests as well as
improving the general condition of the
industry.
There are about thirty five establish
ments engaged in making cordage and
binding-twine. and the formation of the
association is to avoid competition in
the buying of fibres, which, heretofore,
has forced excessive prices. The dis
tribution of fibres will, it is said, be car
ried on upon more equitable basis, and
the tendency of overproduction will be
minimized, a result that will probably
cause some mills to run on short time.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1890-02-08

As far as can be ascertained, there
were in January, this year, 81 strikes
throughout the United States, involving
1854 wage workers. Most of these strik-
es were against reductions of pay. Next
in importance came those forced upon
the workmen by the attempts of en-
ployers to break up trades unions.
