THE EDELSTElN BOYCOTT.

The Central Labor Union boodlers
promptly carried out their contract with
boss Edelstein. Last Sunday the lin
vestigating' committee reported that
the boycott against Edestein was un-
just They said that Edestein had
treated them very nicely, had shown
them through his place, which they
found i'll very neat condition; although
being bakeshop it would not of course
be like Fifth Avenue parlor; the plum
bling was alright, the walls were white.
washed etc. EdeIstein was evi iently a
fair man, they said he was willing to
employ union men, but would not allow
himself to be forced into taking Atlantic
Co. yeast, which was too cheap for him.
Edelstein, the committee further said,
was hard working man, the sweat was
running down his fat cheeks when they
called; he had built up his little bust.
ness by honest, hard work. Now was it
fair, they the doodle committed asked,
to boycott such good man, ruin him,
for the sake of helping the Atlantic
Yeast Co., by whom the bakers were
paid as Edelstein had told them and
they of course believed One Of the most
praiseworthy acts of boss Edelstein men
toned by the committee was that he
accompanied the committee to the cor
ner. The discussion brought out the
fact that only two of the committee, a
minority, had come together, but they
thought the request of boss Edelsten so
urgent that they did not wait to get
quorum. In spite of this the Central
Labor Union voted to adopt the mino-
rity report. Contracts must be carried
out. In the course of the debate the
committee were asked whether they had
been shown the plumbers and white
washers bills to ascertain the date
when the shop was made meat, This
they thought unnecessary, of course.
How could they doubt the word of a fair
man like boss Edelsten? Against his
word that of the boycotting union men
was nothing. So, Edelstein got certi-
fcate OF good character from the Cen
trail Labor Union. What terrible re-

Can Monopoly be Prevented!

Three weeks ago we criticized
pamphlet entitled, How Monopoly Can
Be Prevented" In justice to the author,
who is evidently an earnest though mis-
taken man, we publish his reply, which
merely begs the question aud leaves
untouched both our premises and our
conclusion: Given the capitalist system
no makeshift of any sort can prevent
the growth of monopoly.
Edt0r WoRKMENS ADyoCATE:-In
your issue of the 18th inst, there alp

first criticism may be briefly expressed
in your own words: ITO return to the

dollar, and one with $10O,0O0000 The
latter can afford to be satisfied with

would still leave him fine revenue; to
the former, however, fraction of one
per cent. interest, even double or triple
the rate, would tie as good as nothing
OF course the centuple millionaire 'cau

of one per cent. interest" but "Can al

interest at all as he can easily live
luxuriously on the principal of his
money. As an actual fact, however,
the rich man, who "Can afford" to get
along without any interest, now invests
in the best paying stock yielding enorm-
Gus profits, even at times as much as
100 per cent; while the poor man, who

rate of interest deposits his money IN
savings banks, where, after waiting sew

consider existing conditions Every
man, even if he "can afford" to take
little, will get as much as he can The
important question is not what the mil
lionaire "can afford to take but what
he can get. Your first criticism, there
fore seems to have no bearing on the
proposed plan,
Your other criticism, though really in
point, does not seem to be sound. You
seem to say that the plan would be cir

stocks, and YOU intimate that this is a

certainly was no 'overslght' Stock OF
a corporation could be issued under this
plan only when cash to its par value had
been paid into the treasury of the cor

issued would always be equal to the cash

stances. "stock watering would be i'm

NATIONALIST CLUB NO. 3.

At last Sundays meeting Miss Ida Van
Etten delivered at the club an address
on "Workingw0men in Politics." The
lecturer first made an extensive review
of the role played by woman in all the
great movements in the world, of the
heroines and martyrs they have pro-
welded Starting from these premises
she foretold of equal deeds to be eI-
pected from woman in the pending
social revolution. The woman of the
future would, though without vote
herself. infuse the right moral principles
into her husband and sons, which would
prevent them from selling their vote.
Finally, the lecturer closed with the
declaration that political action was
necessary means to emancipate labor,
and that labor s emancipation means the
triumph Of socialism,
After the lecture, the chair called in
succession upon Messrs. Wiltshire, of Los
Angeles and Schmidt Of Washington, two
distinguished Nationalist present. who
in turn stated the condition Of things in
their respective localities Mr.. Wiltshire
drew the applause Of the house when he

HUM BUGOLOGY.
Prof, Francis A Walker at the American
Economic Association.

Prof. Francis A Walker at the American
Economic Association.
At the meeting of the American Eco
homie Association in Washington last
Friday, Prof. Francis Walker read a
paper, the following synopsis of which
was published in the New York papers :
He surveyed at length the most impor-
tant economic developments within the
United States during the two years since
the association last met in Philadelphia.
The extraordinary growth of pseudo
socialism under the local name of ma
tionalism he attributed to the fact that
the masses of the people alike among
The more fortunate and the less fortunate
classes had at last come to appreciate
the supreme Importance of industrial
relations; but had not yet learned, by a
careful study of history and of the ma
terial conditions of human existence,
within what narrow limits exertions for
the amelioration of mankind must neces-
sarily be confined. All these leformers,
now so defiant of established economic
principles, would, sooner or later, be-
come recruits of the economic army.
Regarding the apparent growth of the
Single Tax Party, the speaker expressed
the opinion that economists were COM
t,ly ,tn,xr that l.
more of economic rent than the State
had been accustomed to exact could adj
vantageously be brought into the Trea
sury, while, on the other hand, the
practical politicians, the more they
studied the subject, were more and more
impressed with the helplessness of the
project, in view of the opposition of the
farmer class and of the holders of small
village and town building lots to an in
crease of direct taxes.
| Mr. Walker referred to what hr termed
the remarkable weakening" in the pre-
sent financial crisis, of many of those,
who, alike through the greenbaCk and
! the silver contest, stood most Stitfiy up
against every measure of possible mtia.
ton, but who now had seemingly ceased
their resistance to the further coinage of
silver, if they did not actually desire it.
He attributed this largely to the dis
crediting of the views of the orthodox
American economists on the subject Of
money. and especially of the interference
to the money supply. These views, he
said, had not been sustained by the best
European opinion or by the common
sense of our own peoples lie con
tinued: IF of an irredeemable and tluc-
tutting currency, that alcohol of COM
merce, it may be truly said it biteth
like a serpent and stingeth like an adj
der with equal truth may it be added
that stranguation and sutfocation are
words not too strong to express the
agency of the industrial body whrn en-
braced in the distinguishing folds Of d
contracting money supply"
In the lack of natural leadership he
said Re could only hope that prudence
might rule the hour, and that the i'll
stlnctive conservatism of the American

NEW JERSEY.

Every section :. l.. T.. Within the Boun-
diaries of New Jersey Requested to
Send Three Delegates to the Next
State Convention.
The following circular letter has been
issued by the Elizabeth Section of the
S. l.. p:
To all the Sections Of the S. l.. ?. in the
State Of Ne'c JerSeH:
CoMRADEs:-In view of the proposed
State Convention to be held at Newark
on January 18th, 1891, we call upon you
to elect three delegates instead of one,
for the following reasons:
In the first place there are as yet but
few labor organizations, outside IF the
Sections of the S. l.. F., that can be
made to recognize officially the necessity
of independent political action, although
many of their members do recognize
this need individually. The represeta-
ton from this source will therefore be
small.
In the second place, it is intended to
elect county committees and otherwise
provide for the active organization of the
whole State.
1t is therefore of great importance to
have as large representation on hand
as possible, from which such committees
and organizers may be selected.
Trusting that you will act accordingly
we remain,
Fraternally

tage will certainly be taken of them"

BOARD OF TRADE.

The greater portion of the time of the
Board of Trade meeting Monday morning
was taken up with discussion of the
proposed charter amendments. 5. +.
Barney made a report from the commit
tee on charter revision. He reviewed
the changes proposed by his committee
and compared them with those propos-
ed by the council committee, for the
purpose of showing wherein his ideas
are the better. He opposed the plan OF
allowing every citizen to indicate his
preference of the two by signing petit
tons, holding that very few know
enough about either plan to make an in
telligent discrimination.
Some few other remarks were made,
but no action was taken upon the re-
port. which will lie open until the next

A MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

Arrangements are being made for the
annual meeting of the Elsteddfod, which
will be held in this CITY Feb. Attn. This
organization of Welsh singers and liter
ary people met In this city year ago,
and the meeting was so successful that
it was voted to meet here this year.
1t is likely that the attendance will be
even larger than last year, when several
hundred came from different points in
the state Larger prizes will be offered
and the competition promises to be
spirited. The local Welsh choir is prac-
tlcing for the event, and hopes to come
out near the head. The sessions may
last for two days, and will probably be
held in the Opera House.
The Welsh portion of the population
of the city and county is looking forward
to this annual musical festival, or gath
ering of the bards, as the name means,
with great antlcipations of musical and
literary treat. The Welsh are a great
nation for song and poetry, and the
choirs that will enter the contest will
afford splendid entertainment for those
who love music.
The arrangements will be completed
his week.
