TRADES uNroN LABELS.

In another column Of this department ap-
pears telegram from Chattanooga, Tenn,
giving the particulars of what our cor
respondent is pleased TO term a novel in
junction suit. This suit is to test in the
highest courts of Tennessee the validity
and legality of the "blue labsl'' Of the
Cigarmakers' international union, a trade
mark which has been duly and legally en-
tered according to law and copyrighted by
the United States It would seem to the
unprejudiced mind that the cigarmakers
sh ould win in this suit and be protected in
their rights. The Cigarmakers' interna-
tional union is chartered institution, and
its subordinate bodies obtain charters from
various state governments under whose
Jurisdiction they act, and it is fact to be
regretted that their trade mark does not
have the protection given to other patents
of like character The blue label of the
cigarmaker is q guarantee of the union to
those who prefer to patronize union labor
that the cigars contained in boxes bearing
the blue label were made by union working
men, and the inconsistency of those manu-
facturers who prefer to employ non-union
labor, and at the same time afix to
their goods a counterfeit seal of
the Cigarmakers' international union,
thereby seeking to convey the i'm
preston that they employ union labor
is plain, apparent, and deserving of the
severest condemnation of every man who is
inclined to see fair-play and justice ac-
corded to even the mblest citizen or cor
porate body. So long as the cigarmaker
obeys the laws Of the state and nation, and
puts himself under the operation of laws
made to protect alike the pauper and the
millionaire, he should most assuredly be
protected in the rights for which he has
paid, and the counterfeiting of trades
union label which has been regularly and
duly patented according to law and the acts
Of congress, should be made no less crime
than the counterfeiting Of our legal tender
currency; the only difference being that
one IS an offense against the government,
and the other an infringement OF rights
guaranteed by the government to the citi-
zen. If justice is to prevail, let each citi-
zen be protected in the operation Of our
laws, one of the prime rights guaranteed to
Us by our national constitution.

SANTIAGO, CHILL, March 19-For the first
time since the success of the revolution
against Balmaceda, there is open hostility
between the elements that combined to &C
complish the revolution. The Clericals have
come to the conclusion that President Mentt
means to keep them in the background, and
their potent influence in effecting Balma.
ceda's overthrow is not to be rewarded by
that political predominance which they de-
sire TO exercise. 1t is said large majority
of the Chilians are liberal, and President
Montt has concluded to go with the ma.
jority, even if ne has to face the clericals,
whose newspaper organs are fercely assail-
ing the new cabinet.

a Giant Movement on Foot in England.

LONDON, March 19.-To-day four out of
five collieries in Great Britain are idle.
The grand total of men at play is roughly
estimated at 450, 900. In Durham 80, 900 are
on 4 strike against reduction of wages, but
in all other districts the men have simply
decided to take week, fortnight or even
three weeks holiday to restrict the output
of coal. This movement has caused the
greatest disturbance in the British labor
world and in the manufacturing centers
since the American civil war, when so
many hundreds of thousands of the cotton
operatives of Lancashire would have
starved but for charity. Startling rumors
are in circulation. Fears of a coal famine
are widespread. The stocks Of coal in the
great commercial centers are not large, and
colliery owners have for some time past de-
clined to bind themselves to execute orders.
A great many orders have been refused, and
the price of coal has reached figure which
it has not known since the memorable strike
of Northum berland and Durham miners,
fifteen years ago. Some factories will
cease work next week for want of fuel. A
number of others will close in the week
following if the miners determine to carry
their experiment into a second week. and if
it is prolonged into third week the dis
turbance of British manufacturers will be
general and its effects so widespread that
scarcely an estimate can be formed Of the
terrific loss to the communities which
must ensue. The whole situation is
startling in the highest degree. Many po-
litical economists declare that the move
ment will result in driving large proper
ton of the work away from England into
foreign hands. In nearly all the large towns
the poor are great sufferers.

ARREST OF A BAD GANG,

A Railroad Hill Street Saloon Visited III and a MILK Peddler Held Up.
 The residents of Railroad Hill street received an extended visit from a gang of thieves last night. kSasfx.. '
 Atathe home of Mrs Coss, in the base. ment of which is 8 saloon, the thieves pried off an iron bar from one of the cellar windows. g!and effected an en- trance. Theyas, took five bottles of cognac. brandy, about half a box of cigars and a quantity of whiskey. In getting out of the window one of the bottles of brandy was broken. None of the family heard anything of the breaking or entering.
 At the house of John Magner, 167 Burnham street, the gang attempted to force an entrance by way of an ou! slde door, They. pried off the staple to which was attached a paddock and opened the outside door, but another door inside was so firmly bolted that it could not be forced. A part of this same gang, all of whom are known, bur glarized this residence about five years ago.
 At the house of Mrs Taylor, 154 Rail- road Hill street, the family were aroused by strange noises, which were made only when the engines of the N. Y. & N. B. railroad, which is close by, were sounding. The thieves were evi- dently scared away from this place.
 At 4:3O this morning they met Charles Mattoon, a milk peddler, andl stopped him and helped themselves to his milk and wanted his change. The cries of MT Mattoon for help aroused Patrick McGrath, on the corner of Burnham and Railroad Hill streets, and he raised window when one of the outlaws told him if he dared come out the door they would split his head with a rock. MT McGrath hurriedly dressed, how ever, and taking base ball bat started to assist Mattoon, but his assailants had disappeared. The plans of the gang were laid during the early part of the evening. Dan Cullum went into a grocery store in the neighborhood and asked for something to eat. He was given something, and he told the store..* keeper that he was just after walking from Meriden. Thomas Dillane, another pal, went into a saloon on Burnham street and asked for drink, but was refused and ordered out. Those two with Patrick Dlllane have been ar- rested. Some of the brandy was also captured and tomorrow the trio:will no doubt hold down thess bench in the prisoners pen, where their well known faces will be once more scanned by the frequenters of police court.
