More Trouble.

The splnners and WeaVers of New Bed
ford to the number Of 10000 have struck
against q 10 per cent. reduction Of
wages, The poverty Of the men is great;
their wages averaging under old condi-
tions-before the cut was msde--only Sc
per week. Bare floors, ragged old cots,
. broken chairs and tables, comprise their
possessions. Empty lsrders, face hol-
lowed-eyed, woe.begone women and
children. When the reduction Of 10
per cent. was ordered, the men broke
into tears, and declared they had
touched bottom" and that it was i'm
possible to live on the wages offered.
These mlll-worksrs are skilled lRborers
Of intelligence, yet despite the recent
lessons in military despotism, the poor,
starving wretChes tried to keep others
from taking their places. A riot snsued
in which many persons were injured.
The daily press, commenting on the sit
ustion, says: "Ths strikers have become
riOtous and have lost public sympathy"
Public sympathy" is good. 1t gives
Workingmen the right to starve lawfully
and quietly, and enables corporations to
hire other hslf.stRrved human machines
at still lower wages--snd roll up their
fat dividends.
Great is an sristocracy Of wealth, sup.
ported by coeroed, starving workmen,
but does it ever occur that when q foun-
dstion gives way, the building tumbles?

First-That the union Of the labor forces OF
the United States, this day commemorAted,
shall be permanent and perpetual. May Its
spirit enter into all hearts for the salvation of
the republic and the uplifting OF mankind
SeCond-Wealth belongs to him who creates
1t, and every dollar taken from industry with.
out an equivalent Is robbery. "If any will not
work neither shall he eat" The interests Of
miles are identical.
Third-We believe that the time has come
when the railroad corporations must either
own the people or the people the corporations,
and should the governments enter upon the
work Of owning and managing any or all rail-
roads we should favor an amendment to the
constitution by which all persons engaged In
the government service shall be placed under
civil service regulation Of the most rigid
character so as to prevent the increase OF the
power Of the national administration by the
use OF such additional government employees.
We demand national currency--safe, sound
and flexible, Issued by the general government,
and o full legal tender for all debts public
and private, and that without the use OF bank
ing corporations; just, equitable and efficient
means Of distribution direct to the people at
tax not to exceed 3 per cent. per annum, to be

Of the Farmers Alliance or some better sys-

We demand that the amount Of the circulat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not less
than $50 per capita.
We demand graduated income-tax.

that all national and state revenues shall be

transportation being means Of exchange
and public necessity, the government should
own and operate she railroads In the interest
Of the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the post
Office system, being necessity for transmits
sion OF news. should DO owned and operated
by the government In the interest Of the
people.
The land, including all the natural sources
of wealth, is the heritage Of all the people and
should not DO monopolized for speculative
purposes, and alien ownership OF land should
be prohibited. All lands now held by tine rail-
roads and other corporations In excess Of their
actual needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens should be reclaimed By the government
and held for actual settlers only.

May Have Made "A Mistake.

The governor, in peremptorily removing
Mrs. Lease, has, In the opinion Of the legal
authorities, overstepped his authority, for
the statute expressly states that the gov
srnor cannon remove "A member Of the
board of charities except for cause, and
then II prescribes how the removal shall
be accomplished.
While Mrs. Lease has been looking care
fully after her own interests, she has not
neglected TO begin her promised warfare
against the governor. Yesterday a COM
mittee OF 20 delegates en- route to the
meeting OF the State Federation of Labor
called on Lewelling and demanded the
immediate removal Of State Labor Com
missioner Todd.
The discussion with the governor be-
came heated, and when the committee
threatened to 'roast" him IL he did not
comply with their demands, the governor
repliedi "Roast and be damnedl" Mrs.
Lease, hearing Of this, sent the telegram
above referred to to the officers OF the
federation.
1t Is reported In state house circles that
some startling charges are TO be made by
the governor and his associates against

After the Governor,

Mrs. Lease made her first aggressive
movement yesterday afternoon in her
fight To retain her position and TO prevent
the denomination of Governor Lewelling.
Mrs. Lease telegraphed 10 each OF the
other members Of the board, informing
them that sh- had changed the place Of
meeting 10 Olathe.
The governor, hearing OF her action,
promptly sent dispatch 10 the members
saying that J. w. Freeborn had been ap-
pointed to succeed Mrs. Lease and that he
would be present at Winfield today TO
assume Mrs. Leases place
II IL now quite certain that the two Re-
publican mem bers Of the board will meet
with Mrs. Lease at Olathe and that the
two Populist members will recognize the
governors action in removing her and
meet with Freeborn NJ Winfield.
Mrs Lease instructed her attorney 10
commence quo warranto proceedings In
the supreme court TO prevent Freeborn
from assuming the functions Of presi-
dent. Should she succeed in securing an
order, she and the two Republican mem.
bers will constitute a legal quorum, and
this will make such changes in the man.
