Gom3ers Pledges Support


President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor. was closeted
with the advisory board of the Anal
gamated Association for more than
three hours. This evening he gave
out the following statement:
"Since the arrival of Secretary Nor.
rison, Of the American Federation of
Labor, and myself, we have been in
almost continual conference with the
advisory board of the Amalgamauej
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers. We made thorough in
vestigation of the present strike, of
the causes which led to the strike,
the present situation of the country.
and we unhesitatingly declare our
judgment that the position of the
Amalgamated Association is absolute
ly justified and essential to its con-
tinuance and effectiveness as a union
of the workers in the trade. as well as
the protection of the rights and in.
terests of it's members.
"OrganiZed labor advances or re.
cedes, never stands still. It, there.
fore, follows that If the trust, by its
great wealth, can prevent the exten,
sion and growth of the Amalgamated
Association, it encompasses its dis
Indignation and destruction. The only
powers then standing between the
trust and the workers as protector
are the tender mercies of its directors
Against such calamity the sense OF
justice and humanity revolt, and
against it we solemnly protest.
I'VE shall stand by the Amalga
mated Association in the present con
flict to the full exte1t of our power
both morally and financially; we shall
aid in every lawful way the men on
strike or who may come out on strike
to maintain the workers in tn ir ri hi
to organize and the extension OF theii
organization"

There is great mining boom now on
in Tasmania. Up until 1872 the minerals
were not thought to amount to much.
but in that year tin mines were opened
on Mount Bischoff, in the northwestern
part of the island and these have
proved to be the largest tin mines OF
the world. They paid their first divi.
dend in 1878, and since then have been
paying regularly, having distributed in
dividends more than $4,000, 900. The
total exports of minerals now amount
to $5,OOO,OO0 annually, and there are
about 5000 men at work in the mines.
