The Cornish Fishermen.

For generations these hardy toilers of the
deep have piled their calling in such a way
as to preserve the Sunday as day of rest,
and this custom prevails both in Scotland
and Ireland, and wherever the men own
their boats. Where, however, as at Love-
stoft, the boats are owned by an employing
class, and the men are paid wage in lieu
Of the ancient custom of co operative shar-
ing of the haul, there the Sunday work ie
expected and, when possible, enforced.
The Cornishmen have agitated for years
against the East Anglians fishing in their
waters on the Saturday and Sunday nights,
but all without avail, and now they have
taken the only method open to them-that
of throwing their rivals fish back into the
water, as the Americans threw the British
taxed tea into Boston harbor. Technically
they may have broken the law, but they
have called the attention of the nation to
their grievance, and the fault will be their
own if they allow the matter to rest until a
proper settlement has been effected.

The First Socialist Campaign.
The Socialists of this city have just COM
pleted their first electoral campaign. They
excited not alone the luminosity Of the Or
thodox parties, but direct jugglery with
their votes on the part Of the election Of
fcials. Electoral impurity seems to be as
rife, If not more so, in this blessed Repub-
lie as under the Spanish Monarchy. In
many booths Socialists were denied the right
to vote at all; in others they found the
puppets of orthodox Republicans had
already voted for them without redress.
At the counting of the votes many more
were passed over altogether, or added to the
total of other candidates. La Vanguardia
reckons the Socialists vote at about 200 each
candidate on an average. In spite of SO
many, end such disheartening illegalities
that affllct, indeed all the capitalist ridden
Republics of South America, the Socialists
are so far satisfied, and intend to renew the
struggle in order to educate the workers
politically, and give election contests the
vigor and independence they so much re-
uuire.

MANCHESTER, n. II.

The new Hopedale or Northope looms
have been introduced int several New
England mills. This is a wonderful inven-
ton, being almost entirely automatic in its
action. One person can tend from II to 20
looms, whereas one person formerly tended
only four or five looms. This new loom
has two features which are novel. One is
stop motion, the other an arrangement
whereby, when the filling on shuttle runs
out, another is substituted automatically.
Often the loom will run an hour with no at
tention. 1t will result in displacing
something more than 20, 900 weavers in the
Eastern States. What are they to do? Did
you ever stop to consider what blessing
these labor saving machines might be if
the working class could receive the benefits
of the vast amount of work they do? I'm
der our present competitive, grab-all,
monopolistic system every such invention is
a curse Under a true industrial system
it would be blessing to labor. Can we
secure what we want by the pure and SIM
pie Trade Union? Not much.
We can only secure industrial freedom,
Justice and wealth for all by uniting at the
ballot box as class, voting the political
power into our own hands. Why don't
we do it? Just because we listen to the
same old song Of the old party fakir and be-
lieve what the capitalist papers feed us on.
The Socialist Labor Party is the true
working class party of the world. All trade

and many in all other countries, are en-
thusiastic workers in this.grand world wide

years but find that there is no difference

To such q pass has Il csnei Recently
about 200 men were called on at the Royal
Albert Docks, Silvertown, dispatched to
Stratford by special train, where, it is said,
the Continental express from Liverpool
Station stopped specially to pick them ur.
This method of dispatching reinforcement
to the harrassed employers Of Rotterdam
was adopted, no doubt, because consider
ably less attention was attracted than
would have been the case at Liverpool
Station. Alas, what falling off is there
When the London decker struck, the Rot
terdam men had hearts strong enough to
keep away. But the sturdy Britishers,
probably the same Britishers who had
faithfully served the Shipping Federation,
allow themselves to be made the tools of the
employers. Isn't the great British nation
playing it bit low d)wn?
The Budding Trades Strike.
The building trades, says the Labor Lead
er, are coming well out of their fight with
the employers. An advance of one half
penny per hour has been conceded all

unionists and free laborers are to be re-
ferred to joint Cancellation board for set
Element. These terms, however, have not
been accepted by the plasterers, who de-
sire an agreement which will prohibit the
free laborer from being emploaed on a
union Job. The laborers, on the other
hand, make no bother about the free la
borer, but demand the same advance as
the skilled tradesmen. The employers
have offered one farthing an hour, but
this tie men won't accept. On May 30 n
great demonstration of close on 100, 900
people met in Trafalgar Square to back up
the laborers in their demand. The skilled
workers turned out en- masse, and by their
presence and through the lips of their Of
ficials and delegates pledged themselves to
stand by the laborers. This, logically
carried out, means that builders will re-
fuse to work at job where the terms have
not been conceded. The demonstration
was very enthusiastic. 1t is significant
and cheering sign of the times to find the
tradesman making common cause with the
laborer

Progress of Public ownership


The British Consul here, in his a.
nual report to the Foreign Office,
states that the past year has been an
exceptionally interesting period as regards
the negotiations of The municipality for the
acquisition Of the properties of the COM
sanies supplying the city with gas and
water and the telephone company's wires,
etc. Notice Of the withdrawal next year
Of their concession has been given to the
gas company, and this undertaking will
probably pass into the hands Of the mu-
nicipality. The purchase of the tramways
is also reported to be in contemplation.
A majority of the Town Council is in
favor of the acquisition of all similar un-
dertakings, and the tones of their debates
was adverse to all concessionaries. To all
appearances, the experiment of municipal
izing all such public undertakings will be
thoroughly carried out.

]. G. Monaghan, United States Con.
sui at Chemnitz, In a report to the
state department, writes: There ia
now no doubt that New England apples
are welcome in the markets OF Ger
many. Here they have no apples to
compare with our Rhode Island green
ings, the Baldwin, russell, and north
ern spy. The Germans are very fond
of apples. Their physicians recon-.
mend them as a most healthful ar
ticle OF diet. But their best apples
are by no means as good as the worst
we produce. There is no reason why
each year should not see us sending
millions of dollars worth where we
only send thousands. A little expert
menting, with careful noting of re-
suits, will certainly reward the mer-
chants for their trouble. Boston,
Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia
in fact, all our Atlantic cities, whence
fast freight steamers cross to England
and the continent-should do a good
business in this branch. All that Is re-
Quired is little enterprise to put
them in the shops and a little energy
with which to push them.

For several weeks a protracted meet
ing has been in progress at Fillmore,
'Cliston county, Ind, under the direc-
lions Of Mrs. Mershon, and among the
converts was Newton Sheets, who final
ly professed sanctification. Sunday, one
week ago, Sheets declared that he
would neither eat nor sleep till Nathan
Rodenberger, friend, was converted,
and during the first few days he spent
the time almost necessarily in prayer
for him. Rodenberger was obdurate,
and refused to be converted, and final
ly sent Sheets word that he might as
we'll have his grave dug. Sheets grew
thinner and thinner, and Rodenberger
more and more stubborn. On Sunday
night Sheets abandoned his self allot-
ted sacrifice of food and sleep and gave
1t up as a bad job. Sunday night he
went to sleep from sheer exhaustion,
and on Monday supplied the wants Of
the inner man.
