ticns of our brother laborers in all flGld:; wholly Or partially governed by ...o unity cf organization, it behooves us to commemorate the memory of, and to celiDerale on, the sad ending of our late president of these United States, William Mckinley. It will stand well to our credit as loyal American citizens to mourn our na- tion,s loss by spreading on the min utes Of this convention the regret we hereby signify, by condemning tne methods of the unlawful, and by eN- pressing our high regard for the free dom of American citizenship, and for the government under which we live Delegate Grierson of Norwich, was called to the char and President Sul iiyan read his yearly report, which IS as follows:

 To tho Officers and Delegates of the Sixteenth Annual Convention Of the Connecticut State Branch, 4. F. of A L.--Greeting:
 1t is my duty as we'll as pleasure to

 we may base our conclusions upon
 le gain in membership of the various
 aions, of any since the organization
 the State Branch. 2. The increase in mem bership of the St Rte Branch has been marvellous and the beginning Of this new era should give our members new hope and cour- age, for our movement to-day is nearer being understood by the mass of toil- CTS. I>i.ey perceive that with leaders who conscientiously strive for the pro motion of their rights and privileges, iabor's voice will receive due recogni ton ln the hall of capital. and the er1- p:oyer end employe sit together ard arbitrate their differences. Our nroad ;tld corr ect principles being now bet ter understood, it is but a natural con sequence that employers concede that labor orga anizations have come to stay and that labor has rights which must be respected. The development and growth of our local unions has brought us face to face with new and grave problems, the solution o which lies with the work CTS individually and collectively, and it must be clearly understood that to hold the ground already gained and 10 prepare to meet the further onslaught Of organized capital each and every one of us must arouse ourselves 10 the duty and dangers that confront us and work willingly and tirelessly that OUT CT ganization may go ever onward and upward.

UNFAIR CASH REGISTER co.

All Offers to Bring About Harmony
 Denied by the Dayton Firm.
 Through the courtesy Of Mr. Nichc- las Duttle, Fourth Vice-President of the Metal Polishers, Buffers and Plat 6. .s' Union, we are in receipt of copy Of the Montgomery County Re porter, of Dayton, O., explaining at length the differences existing between the National Cash Register Go. and it's employees. We are gratified to find the union men making such @ bold stand, and have every confidence in their ability to win out in the end 1t is needless to state that they have the backing of their, union to it's full est extent, and knowing, as we do, the strength of that organization, no com ment is necessary as to the outcome.
 As a delegate from Dayton, MT. Duttle appeared at the convention in Waterbury last week, and gave a de- tailed report of the whole matter, to- gether with some interesting inforTna- tion He was received by the dele gates warmly. Some recommendation were adopted in relation to the cash was given a vote of thanks. At the present time he is touring Connecticut in the interests of his union.
 We cannot be too particular i'll the future in dealing with this company and it behOoves every union man to do all he can to influence his friends against patroniZing anything of their manufG cture.t4 If this policy is rigidiy enforced no doubt it will go 8 great way towards solving the question at issue. l.

SL aggregation or corpora tons Wor.d has ever seen can be en- trusted to the management of one man so can our aggregations of labor or ganizationS be better promoted by one man power.
 The history of our great labor or ganizatlons is proof of the fact that at some stage of their existence the intelligence and executive ability of some one man has rescued them from dire disaster, and no sooner are they AOn a firm footing and give evidence of permanency than many rise up and loudly proclaim that one man power is detrimental to their progress Concentl tlation of power always has been productive of good results If the executive be honest, and a concentra- tion of power is now accepted as abso- Iutely necessary for the success oI in duStrial commercial and financial en- Tterprises, so must it also be successful in the administration of the affairs of our labor organizations.
 The concentration of power in the A. F. of l.. may truly be said to be vested in President Samuel Gou1pers, and the greater the difficulties which beset him the more easily he seems to overcome them.
 Wherever there is prospect of trou- ble President Gompers is sent for and there is no man to-day in our move ment in responsible position but would eagerly accept and carefully fol- low his advice.
 Being hard worker himself he ac- complishes things and so sets the ex- ample for his associates.
 All knotty questions are submitted 40 him for adjustment and his rare Rldgment has prevented many conpli- etions, yet he never assumes the role ctator. l believe we should, even

PROGRESS OF

Praise for Delegates of Re- cent Convention Held
 in Waterbury.
INTERESTING INFORMATION.
)zie Men Present at the Convention Contrasted With Those Of Prev ious Years. Labor Unions
 Increasing Past.

The Connecticut State Convention of Labor Unions, held at Waterbury Oct. to II, was in all respects the best convention ever held in the history of the State Branch.
 Not only were more delegates in at tendance but the delegates were more representative men, better qualified to represent their locals, or else they prove the assertion that labor organi- cations are rapidly coming to the 3ront as 1zeins composed of intelli- gent men who study the labor question and have the interests of their organ. izations at heart, and slowly but sure 1y the members are educating them selves to combat the evils which sur round the wage earners.
 The acce ptance of the recon enda- prove that we are looking forward and perceive the necessity of legislat- ing for the future.
 A mild protest against some recon mendations on the ground that they would establish one-man power was not acceptable to the majority and mItI,er should it be so regarded

A Coincidence.

Condolences happen frequently, but
are always difficult of credence. OAR
win, in his Voyage of q Naturalist"
mentions one of this kind, though diff
ferent in degree. One Of party was
speaking of the earthquake of Talca-
huano, in northern Chile, where his fa-
Their lost all his property, and he him
self had barely escaped with his life
in the earthquake at Valparaiso.
He mentioned a curious coincidence
which then happened. A German, one
of the party, got up and said he would
never sit in room in these countries
with the door shut, as owing to his
having done so he had nearly lost his
life at Copiapo. Accordingly he opened
the door, and no sooner had he done
this than he cried out. Here it comes
againw and the famous shock COM
menced. The whole party ESCAPED.

SOME idea of the immense power
and patronage lost to Tammany Hall
by the election Tuesday can be gained
by comparison of the salaries paid
officials in that city and those paid by
the federal government.
There are 496 salaries paid by the
government of the United States that
amount to $4,000 and upwards,
amounting in all to Sc, 848, 900. These
include all the civilian, military and
naval lists and the foreign representa-
tives of the government. 1t includes
the salary of the president, vice presi-
dent, members of the cabinet, justices
of the supreme court and all other Of
ficia1s who receive salaries of $4 900 or
more.
In New York city there are 446 sala-
ries to city officials who receive $4,000
and upward. This number is just fifty
less than there are of all general gov
ernment officials receiving equal pay,
but the gross amount paid them is
$173, 900 more than is paid by the gen.
eral government.
There are only thirty-five federal Of
fice-ho1ders who receive $4,000 ard
upwards, while there are sixty-seven in
that class in New York. These sixty
seven draw in the aggregate 1884, 800
in salaries.
All these high sa1aried officials were
of course assessed for heavy contribu-
tons to the campaign fund, not to
mention the contributions" wrung
from the minor employees, gamblers,
saloon keepers, prostitutes and other
vidlators Of the law who enjoyed the
protection of Tammany.
Tammany Hall keeps no books and
the amount of money disbursed in the
effort to retain control of the city's
revenues can never be ascertained
with any degree of accuracy, but the
total must have been something en-
ormOuS.
