PITTSBURG, Aug. 13.-The executive
committee OF American Federation of La
Dor spent most of Yesterday afternoon and
until a late hour last night in conference
with the Homestead advisory committee
and the officials of the Amalgamated as
sociation. After adjournment Gompers
gave out a statement to the effect that it
had been concluded not to issue a general
boycott on the Carnegie product for the
reason that the works were turning out a
very small amount of work, and that its
quality bad that it was unmarked
able. This would result in great loss of
trade to Carnegie, and be an efficient boy
colt in itself.
May Refuse to Handle the Goods.
If it should hereafter become necessary
to do so a boycott would be declared re-
gardless of the threats of the firm to use
the conspiracy laws against the labor
leaders. Also whenever local labor feels
inclined to refuse to use the Carnegie
product it may do so. Organized labor is
reminded that every dollar possible should
be raised to help the Homestead strikers

THE LEAGUE OF PROGRESS.

The young men who have organized IN
der this name take a comprehensive view
of the work before them. The address OF
Frank Harold, president OF the league,
indicated the lines upon which the league
VIII move. First among the things the
league proposes to do is thus outlined:
We are about to investigate the charges
frequently made that our Supervisors are
bribed. courts prosttuted, juries stuffed,
and that our public servants, without ex-
ception, peryert their offices to their own
personal end"
This Is a work that has generally been
considered eyerybOdy's business, and con-
seQuentIy has never been done. An active
intelligent and fearless body of men who
make it their especial business win prove a
thorn in the side OF wrong-dofrs. The
league also indorSes the plan of action
marked ont by the Traffic Association Of
pledgiBg candidates 10 reformatory legisla-
ton IN respect to transportation. Nothing
is said as yet about Independent nomina-
tons. the purpose being doubtless to see
what kind of men the old parties will place
in nomination.
While movement to ferret out crime
should be productive of much good, the
greatest good TO the public will be in the
election of men who have the public good
at heart. There are such men in this city,
but they will not rise 10 Office through the
machinery OF the several party conventions.
The bosses do not want men they cannot
control. The Southern Pacific Company
do not want Legislature pledged to carry
cut such measures as the Traffic Association
has recommended. The league. therefore,
is likely to be confronted with more i'm
portant duties than it has yet officially as
sumed,

a CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

Mr.. Cleveland's campaign Of education is
now in full progress. Schoolmaster McKin-
ley had a class Of $1,000 in Nebraska on
Tuesday, and he proposes to continue his
lessons from day to day until the Slh of
November. Armed with facts showing the
improvement Of the condition of working
people under the new tariff McKinley's
teaching takes the form of an object lesson.
His reference to the plank in the Democratic
platform declaring a protective tariff I'M
constitutional was brief. Nothing more was
needed than to note the fact that the second
act passed by n Congress of the United
States was recognition Of the constitution
atty Of a protective tariff. AS many of the
trainers OF the constitution sat in that Con-
gress it may be presumed that they knew
something about the constitution. AS Nc
kinley said the constitution which pro-
tectiYe tariff conflicts with is not the con-
Stitution Of the United States, but of the
Confederate States. But an act may be
constitu tiOnal and not be wise. Mckinley
went on to show that the act which bears
his name is producing good results. 1.-THE
truth is" said Schoolmaster Mckinley,
''Ihe protective tariff has cheapened every
manufactured product. not by eheapening
labor, but by its high rewards, securing
from labor its highest efficiency" In view

"THE WAYS OF JUSTICE"

We copy the following editorial paragraph
from a San Francisco newspaper whose
management we believe has tended essen
italy to bring about the deDlorable condition
of affairs which it depicts:
The ways OF justice 10 this city are certainly
peculiar. A poor fellow may steal few
buEd ed dollars aud his bail will be placed in
the thousands. so that he has no escape from life
another man embeZzle $40, 600 and he is politely
allowed to go free on putting up $4,000 ball. 1t
strikes the layman that there is something rotten
in this procedure.
The lack of the proper measuring OF JUS
tice in this city comes about principally
from the maladministration of certain
municipal offices. For instance, should the
County Clerks Office and the Sberff's office
contain considerable number of persons
ike some of those who have represented
San Francisco in the past in the Legisla-
ture, the proper administration of justice
would scarcely be expected here. If we are
correctly informed at least one-half of those
very members who so grossly betrayed US
in the last Legislature are retained in the
two offices named. Again, it is believed
that the proprietor of the very paper from
which we have quoted has been active in the
OF deputies in the Clerks Office, and that he
has actually been able TO force many i'm
proper persons into that office. 1t should
be borne in mind that dishonest deputies in
the two Offices which we have named can do
much to thwart justice. for IL is through
those Offices that juries can be reached.
The morning call., 1892-08-04
OUR TAXES.

Comments are being made at the present
time respecting the valuation of property
for the purpose Of taxation in this city and
State. 1t is not doubted that some indi-
viduals and corporations do escape proper
taxation This is the case In all communi-
ties. The Southern and Central Pacific
Railroad properties, for instance, have
never been valued as high as they ought to
have been for taxable purposes. So we
could point TO individuals whose personal
property has not been given to the Assessor
for what ii was worth. but this has little to
do with the question OF taxation. Unques-
tionably individual cases should be INQUIRED
into, but because one person escapes it is no
reason why a whole community should be
made to suffer. There is no doubt that
property in this city and throughout the
State is assessed. as rule, at as high a
figure as 1t ought to bear. But we have
IN Office in San Francisco. and we doubt not
the situation is somewhat the same in
every important town in the State, a
class Of men whose aim is to obtain as
much money as possible from the public,
hence they make the valuation large. so
that taxation does not appear to be so
excessive. A community is not benefited
by class OF men in Office who contriye by
every possible means to make the cost of
living excessive. Our taxes are, in one way
or another, run up 10 excessive figures. such
figures in fact as initiate against the in
terests OF every sman who owns a small
homestead.
