A Mexican Labor Union.

Philadelphia Record.
We learn from our much esteemed
contemporary, the Mexican Herald,
that the stevedores' union at Tampi-
CO has built a school house near
there at cost of $4,000, which is
to be used by their children during
the day and by free classes Of
workingmen at night. The union pays
the salary Of the teacher and the gov
ernment has promised to.supply the
necessary furniture and books. Things
cannot be altogether bad in country
where the stevedores display such an
interest in education as do those Of
Tampico. We very much doubt
whether those of any American city
would display equal public spirit.
