is relative, and the editor spends his days
in the business of discrimination. If he had
hundred pages day he could fill them
would not insist that his publication hadV
been improved. He would be more apt to
regard 1t as victim of excessive corr
pulence, a sort of Dickenss fat boy, SOM
nolent itself, and the cause of a similar
condition in it's readers.
Since the editor must exercise q nice sense
of Judgment, and realize that among COM
tributions some are called, many uncalled.
and few chosen, Ii is desirable to learn what
the editor is certain to accept. Strange as
1t may seem, one of the ladies who adj
dressed the convention of the w. c. T. u.
at Buffalo the other day has caught the
exact idea. She even knows what sort of q
contribution it is that, when handed in,
achieves the by no means inconsiderable
feat of making the EDITORS eye sparkle.
THE first question asked isl she says, "ig

the spinning department were shut down

Some time ago the knitters to the number
of fifty, struck for an advance of 90 per
cent. in wages. Treasurer Cooper says he
had found the operatives who remained at

Electrical Workers NAV Strike.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The relations be-
tween the Electrical Contractors Associa-
ton of this city and the Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers have reached a crisis
Early this year the brotherhood informed
the association that on Jan. 1, 1898, they
would demand an increase in wages from
So day to $ a day. They were promptly
notified by the association that such a de-
mand would have to be denied. Other
causes of irritation have also arisen. One
in particular has called forth much pro-
test from the employers. This is the re-
fusal of the jOurneymen to admit into their
union sufficient number of men to supply
the demand in this city and vicinity It
is upon the monopoly that they think they
have established, it is said, that they rely
for the success of their demand for the in
crease to 81 day.

LABOR MEMORIAL DAY
LAST SUNDAY IN JUNE FIXED BY
KNIGHTS GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Ex-General Master Workman Sover-
eiEn Not an open Candidate for
the Presidency in 1900.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 15.-The morning
session Of the Weneral Assembly knights of
Labor was devoted to discussion of the
report of the committee on immigration. 1t
was the prevailing sentiment that some
vigorous steps should be taken to restrict
immigration, and statistics were presented
showing that nearly 100000 foreign labor
ers had come to this country during the last
twenty-three years, all of which, it was
claimed, worked hardship on the Ameri-
can workingman.
The report that Passed General Master
Workman Sovereign had stepped down and
out because he desired to fix his fences for
the presidency on labor reform ticket in
1900 was vigorously denied on all sides. "Mr.
Sovereign has no such idea said one of his
closest advisers this morning, land there is
absolutely no truth in it If the presidency
was offered to him ] suppose he would ac-
cept it, as almost any other man would do,
and the Knights of Labor would glory in
him, but he has no designs on the presi-
Dental chair. His resignation was solely
for the purpose of giving him more time
and broader and wider field in which to
work for the upbuilding and strengthening
of the cause in which he is so vitality inter-
ested."
At the afternoon session 1t was voted
unanimously to set apart the last Sunday in
June as labor memorial day. This day will
be observed by all the district assemblies in
the United States. 1t was expressly stated
that the day should not be regarded in the
light of a holiday. 1t was fixed upon Sum
day especially because it could not be made
holiday, with its attendant festivities.
During the rest of the afternoon a number
of minor matters were disposed of which re-
lated purely to the order. The report Of the
committee on finance was received. This
committee had made an examination of the
books of the order and found everything
to be in first-clasS shape.
