German Tradesmen Projected.

The Reichstag has adopted law which
went into effect a few days ago. intended
to protect tradesmen in Germany against
THAT which they consider unfair ness on the
mart of business rivals. Among the matters
which are considered to show unfairness
are the use of false weights and measures,
the circulation of incorrect advertisements
describing goods. and the utterance of
libeious statements against their rivals.
When such business methods are employed
the person who believes himself injured
may obtain an Injunction against the prac-
tice and indemnity fdf loss sustained there
by. The law. goes, further than those of
other countries in attempting to protect
business men from unfair rivalry, but its
provisions are said TO be so vague that

to the effect that arrangements had been
perfected for an ail-day excursion to River
View on Labor Day. The tickets will be
out by the next meeting.
1t was decided to issue special call on
the members to attend. when the tickets
will be distributed to them for sale among
their friends. BY appointing the entire
membership committee on sale OF tickets,
1t is expected that the excursion will

fore. During the evening communication

Labor Day excursion committee, requesting
the Assembly to be represented at the
conference 10 be held Sunday. Augusta at
the Labor Bureau. The request was ap-
proved. and two Of the members appointed
to attend.
The returns from the excursion given for
the benefit of the discharged employees
of the Metropolitan Railroad Company, are
encouraging. The excursion WIS pro
nounced success. 1t was estimated that
upward OF 1000 persons visited River
View on last Thursday. In addition to
those who actively participated in the ex-
cursion, hundreds OF others had purchased
tickets simply 10 assist the cause.
On the grounds speeches WERE made by
F. NJ Dent OF the Street Railway Assem-
bly, and Sam Dc Nedry of the knights Ut
Labor headquarters. Mr.. Dent, in his
address, gave an interesting account oil
the origin Of the present troubles, which
he stated, was solely on account or the
discharged men belonging To labor Or.
ganization. lie then briefly stated the
advantages enjoyed by street railway men
In general since the formation OF the street
Railway Assembly.
Mr.. De Nedry's remarks were OF gen
eral character, illustrating the benefits
TO he obtained from organization. The
committee in charge OF the excursion was
composed Of Messrs william Esler, chair
man; James Trainer, K h. Rogers, VIII
liam Smith, and John Ryan.

u number of Resident iron workers were
present and took au active part in the
proceedings.

Simmons, who, in brief speech, ex-
planned the object OF the meeting. Mr.
Michael j. Bishop, the general worthy
foreman of the Knights Of Labor. then ad-
dressed the meeting on the benefits re-
suliing from organization.
Tie superintendent OF one OF the largest
Jobs in this city then addressed the
meeting and advised the iron workers to
consult their own interests and join the
organization. Mr.. James Trainor the old
war horse OF the Street Railway Assem-
bly,, gave several forcible illustrations OF
the advantages OF being connected with
labor organization. and especially that
OF the Knights OF Labor.
Mr.. Simmons also made an address, in
which he congratulated the members of the
Iron Workers Assembly on the splendid
prospects before them. During his remarks
Mr.. Simm ons called attention to the steady
increase OF membership i'll all OF the local
assemblies in this jurisdiction. The speak
ers were loudly applauded, and the senti-
ments expressed met with unanimous ap-
proval.
After the speaking an invitation was ex-
tended to those who did not belong to the
organization to join, which invitation was
responded to with will. 1t was fully
%expected that L. j. Palmer, u member of
the organization, who several weeks ago
met the misfortune OF falling two stories
off the new city postoffice building. would
be present. 1t was stated that while Mr.
Palmer is now able, by the aid of a stick,
to get out, still he did not feel strong
enough to stand the exertion Of attending
the meeting. This was great disap-
pointment 10 his fellow members, who in
tended to give him a grand fraternal re-
ceptioD. The next regular meeting of the
