In Two Different Ways.

l was sitting in front of the cabin of a
colored man named Erastus johnson, and
va3 talking with Mr. johnson himself on
the prospects of the cotton crop, when a
large, massive and unctuous black man
halted before us and said:
"Misser johnson, kin spoke to yo' in
private fur minit?"
Reckon haint got no time fur spokin,"
replied Mr.. johnson, who didn't seem to
regard the newcomer in favorable light.
"Brudder johnson. shall / spoke befo'
dis white man?" demanded the other.
"I'll see yo' tomorrer."
"Yo' will hev to see me right yere an

two dollar. Yo' has owed it fur a hull var.
Yo' has agreed to pay me bout fo'ty differ

"I'ze gwine ter pay next week fur shore" T"
"'Twon't do, Brudder Johnson-'twon't t

Cant possibly do it." carelessly replied
Mr.. johnson. "Yo' go on, an I'll see yo'
later"
"Brudder Johnson, needs dat money"
Powerful sorry, Mr.. Blanchard, but
can't pay today.
"Brudder Johnson. | cum yere as de pas

"What yo' gwine ter doi" asked Brother
johnson as the preacher she'd his coat and
vest and began TO Timber up his knees.
"What gwine ter do. Why, sab, rze

"If owes anybody two dollars, kin

Brother Johnson refused TO open his

OLNEYVILLE LOCALS.
The Peace of a Johnston Family Dis
turbed by the Green-eyed Monster.


There was little outbreak in Plain
field street yesterday afternoon as the
result OF a business man OF that
vicinity being affected with jealousy. He
has wife and three children, but he
thinks his wife is cutting
too rapid gait for him to follow.
He accuses her OF preferring tho
self, and has left her. He visited her
apartments the other night and
found that she had gone out, leaving
the children alone, SO he removed
them TO his protecting care. She objected
and yesterday went for the children,
hence the row. The principal parties
waxed wrathy and their mutual recrimi-
nations drew policeman who led them
to Judge Phillips Office. The Judge
listened to both stories and advised a
reconciliation. 1t Is reported today that
there are interesting developments to be
expected
Now Visiting Cranston.
Anna Riley gazed too long on the wine

drifted into the clutches OF the law. Not

The st. Lucy chapter held well at
tended meeting last evening.
One result of the strike is an unusual
quiet in police circles. The officers say
there seems TO be no desire to celebrate or
perhaps money is too scarce. The court
business averages about one-quarter OF
what il usually is.
The ice at Silver lake is in fine condi-
tion and the pond is crowded every even

sport, preferring the lake to the pond at
the park.
A couple OF youngsters amused them
selves by stealing shoe leather from the
store OF Morris Greenleaf on Manton
avenue a week ago Sunday. Last night
the officers of Station gathered them in.

Labor legislation began as early as
I777, when it was voted in Newbury-
port, Mass, that maximum wages"
should be as follows:
Carpenters, shillings pence a
day; calkers, 6 shillings day; day Ia
borers, not found, shillings day;
day laborers, found, shillings day;
joiners, shillings s pence day; ma
sons, shillings a day.
1t will be observed that this legisla-
tion was all in favor of the employer,
inasmuch as the paying of higher wages
than those named was prohibited, while
there was no minimum scale adopted.
Strikes began to occur i'll 1903, the first
one recorded being among the sailors in
New York city. 1t seems to have been
settled by the failing of the leader.
There We're divers small strikes, and

but every nominee was defeated but one.
1t seems that at that time the elections
extended over several days, and at the

the wOrkingmen were ahead, and so the

defeat the wOrkingmen' nominees.

Robert Dale Owen was prominent IN
the movement, and so was Edward Ev.
erett, who addressed a meeting Of
farmers, mechanics and other work
ingmen" held in Boston, Feb. l6, 1881
At this meeting arrangements were
made for the holding of a Conven-
ton on Sept g. 1882, and at this con-
vention, which, from the old records,
appears to have been very well attend
ed and was presided over by Charles
Douglas of New London, Couu., ten
points were submitted for consideration,
as follows: l. Organization of a central
committee for each state. 2. The insti-
tuition Of lyceums or Institutes 3.
Reform i'll the militia system. 4.
The eXpediency of calling a national
convention of worllingmen. .. The 10
hour system. 6. The effect of banking
institutions and other mOnopolies upon
the condition of the laboring classes. z.
The improvement of the system of edu-
cation, including the recommendation
of such legislative enactments in rela-
ton to the internal economy of factories
as should assure to the operatives there
in a competent degree of instruction.
s. The abolition of imprisonment for
debt and the adoption of a national
! bankrupt law. 8. The extension of the
right of suffrage in states where the peo-
pie were then denied its privileges
| 10. The lien laws in favor of journey
men and mechanics. Landed interests,
taxation and cooperative trading were
also discussed.

to follow the development of the move

limits of this article will not permit it,

zance of matters that are of vital interest
to workingmen. No matter how indi-
vidual opinions may differ as to the val
ne of labor organizations, there is no
doubt that without their aid the men
would never have won the victories
which they prize so highly, and despite
their defeats, which have been many
and sometimes believed to be crushing,
the organization idea is gaining ground
every day.
There are two great divisions among
the labor organizations of the United
States. In the first may be classed the
great railroad brotherhoods, the unions
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor and the international and ma
tional trades unions. In the second may
be classed the assemblies of the knights
of Labor and the American Railway
union. The basic difference between
the two types may be summed up in
the statement that each union of the
first class possesses autonomy as to its
own local affairs. 1t orders its own
strikes and directs its own local policy,
whereas the assemblies of the Knights
of Labor are to much greater extent
governed by the general officers of the
order, as are the local unions of the A.
R. U. by the general officers of that or
der. The unions affiliated with the Fed
Grafton of Labor, for instance, bear
about the same relation to that organi-
cation that the states of the republic
bear to the federal government, all local
laws and rules being made by each un-
ion, while the K. of l.. assemblies are
governed by rules laid down by the gem
eral assembly.
Many efforts have been made looking
to closer unity between the different Or
CARNATIONS, and three harmony con-
ferences" of national scope have been
held within the last year. Samuel
GOmpers, head of the federation; Gen
eral Master Sovereign of the Knights of
Labor; p. NJ. Arthur, chief of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers; Frank
Sargent chief of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen; Eugene v Debs,
| president of the American Railway I'M
ion; John Mcbride of the United Mine
Workers and most of the other leaders
are all in favor of unity, but for some
| reason it has so far failed to material
ize. Possibly the national recognition
of Labor day as holiday may tend to
hasten its accomplishment.

sition was adopted, and the procession
was the feature of Sept 5, which fell
on the first Monday Of the month.
Workingmen of almost every trade took
part, and this of course stopped many
business establishments and virtually
made the day holiday. The big pa
rade was reviewed by Richard Grifiths,
worthy foreman of the knights, and he
as well as all who were on the review
ing stand was greatly impressed. One
who was present-RObertP Price of Mary

upon Mr.. Grifiths' shoulder, said:

thus it was named. On every first Mon
