COMING RAILROAD TRUSTS.

COMING RAILROAD IHOolo ..
New York Journal
Yesterday Wall street saw another
long step in the direction of the COM
ing consolidation Of all the railroads
of America. Following the Hill Nor
gan Rockefeller deal in the Northwest
came reports of similar combinations In
the Middle West and the Southwest.
These various consultations, if they
are carried through, will unite $1,0l1,-
742,637 of capital and 46,120 miles of
railroad.
1t makes no difference whether any
particular rumor be confirmed or not,
any more than whether any particular
ripple on rising tide strikes upon this
place or upon that. 1t is enough that
the tide is visibly sweeping in. All
the world can see now that dozen
men are in financial control of the Uni
ted States, and especially of it's trans
portation interests. If they do not take
in any given railroad today, they will
take it in tomorrow or next day.
The roads included in the consolida-
tions said to be already under way have
mileage greater than that of all the
railroads in any country in the WORLD
outside of the United States. They
have fourth of the mileage of this
Union, including it's most important
parts 1t is matter of only few
years-probably not more than ten
until the railroad business of the con-
tinent will be as completely centralized
as the telegraph business is now.

FOR A LABOR TEMPLE.
Union Men in Wilmington May
Erect a Building.

Several prominent members of the
Labor League here have been discuss
ing the auyisabiity of erecting a labor
tempe in this city. The matter has been
talked of before but the members of the
labor organizations feel that now is the
time to agitate the matter. Organized
labor in Wilmington never had proper
place in which to hold their meetings.
The quarters in the Smith Building on
Market street are the largest ever oc-
cupied and they are too small. This was
demonstrated during the recent ma
chinists' strike. The mass meetings had
to be held in Turn Hail. Since that time
whenever a large meeting was called
it has been necessary to hold it in some
other building. 1t would be much more
convenient to hold the meetings in one
building.
The proposition now made is to organ
ize company to erect large building
to be known as Labor Temple. One
plan is to have a large auditorium and
number of lodge rooms to be used by
: the various labor unions. The first floor
could be fitted mp as stores and in thar
way revenue would be derived.
The labor unions in PHILADELPHIA are
now considering the advisability of erect-
ing a labor temple.
A meeting may be held in this city
in the near future to consider the adj
visibility of erecting snch temple
here.

workmen in them did not want to be
organized. Many surprises have been
sprung by the association the past week
in that direction, and prospects are
bright for still greater developments III
the near future.
The membership cah rest assured that
the president and his co-workers in the
national office will continue to bend
every energy toward securing as com
plete an organization of the mills outside
the pale as possible. Many of our best
and energetic brothers are in the fight,
and 1t is exceed ngly gratifying to the
encouraging report they send in. There
is wave Of union revival sweeping all
throught the mills that are still unor-
ganzed. The spirit Of liberty and Justice
grows stronger, and nothing can over
throw it except some rash act on the
part Of the workers themselves. Breth-
rem, keep yolr heads at all times, and
don't be induced under any circumstances
to undo the good work that has been
done.
BLAZING THE WAY.
President Shaffer gives this advice:
There is but one way to throw off the
bondage and stand before the world as
ever worthy of the public respect
stand together; be loyal to each other
and meet the foe in the open. Shun the
temptation to adopt any course that il
questionable. Right and honor will
triumph.
