ASSOCIATED LIBOR PRESS. AUTHENTIC ADVICES FROM RELIABLE CORRESPONDENTS IN ALL SEC- • TIONS OF THE COUNTRY. RICHMiiNH. The election has passed over and everything is quiet. The Reform Ticket which was put in the field and sup ported by workingmen, swept the city —carrying five wards out of six. It is very certain now that the new City Hall, which ha* hung fire for four years under the Ring rule, will be com menced at once, and be built by day labor with Virginia material. Some two or three hundred hands employed at the brick yards in Man Chester, struck this week for an increase of pay. These men did not act under the advice of any labor organization, but went out by agreement among themselves. Printing business is dull at present and '• eomps" looking for work will do well to pass this city gently by. PETERSBURG. Special to The 1.a1».r Herald. The exposures in the late election in ■ this city, it is hoped, will have a salu tary effect upon ballotbox stuffing and the various judges of election gave a majority to the Citizens' (or Demo cratic) ticket but subsequent develop ments show that the entire Republican ticket was elected, and certificates of election have been given to the Repub lican candidates. Fraud is openly charged against those who had charge of the election, and the election of six conncilmen will be contested. The operatives in the cotton mills here have been granted a ten-hour workday, and all of them are now run ning smoothly without any reduction of wages. The change of gauge on the Norfolk and Western railroad was successfully accomplished in one day, and the regu lar trains were resumed the next day. The workingmen have gained a great victory in Richmond. They have elected 21 out of 30 conncilmen, and have com pletely broken the backbone of the old political ring. If they will only use their newly-acquired power with wis dom and discretion, it will prove of in calculable benefit to the workingmen of that city. The State Colored Normal School near this city, is fast approaching com pletion, and when finished will be one among the finest buildings in the State for educational purposes. Another Assembly was organized here last week, and now a District As sembly will be formed. I Special to The Labor Herald. There is remarkable little building going on in Houston at the present time and no prospect of immediate im The trouble in tbe Houston Rolling Mills has been adjusted by arbitration and the.mills are running as smoothly Printing is very quiet with a surplus of labor in town. Rumors of changes in the officials and management of the T. and N. O railroad are numerous and of a nature that if true will benefit the The extensive improvements for some months in progresss at the Cen tral shops, are being pushed as vigor ously as ever, despite the lawsuits now existing for control of tho road. A least $ .50,000 worth of improved ma chinery has been placed in the machine and car shops within the last few months. At the present time there are forty car loads of building material now in tbe yards at the car shops which will shortly be used in erecting sheds and other improvements. TROY N. Y. Special to The Labor Herald. The great lockout of the collar shops and laundries of Troy still continues, but not a break in the ranks. The Fuller, Warren «& Co., stove manufacturers, of Troy, N. V., have broken their agreement by putting on scab mounters. There is a chance to continue the boycott if the firm does not come to terms. It is the general belief that the collar hnd laundry proprietors are in league with tbe stove manufacturers to defeat the moulders, as many moulders' wives and daughters are employed in the laundries and collar shops. The strike of the scythe makers of Ballston still continues. The proprie tors say they will not withdraw their order that each man shall wheel his own coal, and the men will not go to work until it is withdrawn. Some of the men have found employment else where. Business is very dull at present with 20,000 people in enforced idleness, but we have a eheerfnl outlook for the fu ture. The strike of the nickle platers con tinues with no sign of a settlement. The strike of the laborers at Breaker Island is settled by a compromise; the men get an advance of one shilling a day. The brickmasons and other skilled employees on Breaker Island are on a strike for shorter hours. Terrible boiler explosion at the Rens salaer rail mill Monday morning. One man was killed instantly, others fatally, anil still others seriously injured. The cause of the explosion is yet unknown, yet, we have been informed, that in stead of complying with the law which calls for a cold water test, the insur ance agent only sounded the ends of the boiler with a hammer, that being the portion exposed, the remainder lieing encased in two feet of brick. HAMILTON. Sl*<ial to The Labor Herald. An unprecedented boom in labor or ganizations has set in in this country ; K. of L Assemblies and Labor Reform journals are springing up in all sections. It is to be feared, however, that the present rate of admission will not ultimately prove beneficial to the Order. We are now on the eve of a general election, and political tricksters are lia ble to do a vast amount of harm in our midst. A decided improvement is no ticeable this season over last m nearly all branches of industry, as a result workers at the majority of trades are all employed. The glass works as usual have shut down for the summer months. No strikes or lockouts in Hamilton at present • . Justice. All persons desiring a nice, clean shave at the hands of skilled artists, should call at the Model Palace of J. Guvernator, No. 10 N. Seventeenth st. Cupping and leeching perfectly done. POWDERLY AT HOME. He Explains What the Action of the Cleveland Convention Means. A MEMBER OF THE HOME CLUB ISTERVII'Wtt' Scranton, June B.—General Master Workman Powderly denies that he has been captured by the communistic ele ment and further, that there is any truth in the rumor that his views in re gard to strikes, etc., were overruled at the Cleveland Convention. Hereafter, he says, local assemblies lof the Knights of Labor can not in augurate a strike until the members have first voted on the question by se cret ballot Each man must record his verdict after which the Executive Board of the District will be called in and endeavor to effect a setilement by arbitration, so that the strike is not to be undertaken except as a last resort ; Not only this, every week during the continuance of a strike the men will vote secretly whether they will con tinue it or not. The feeling of the Order is strongly against strikes. The commissions of the organizers were canceled and hereafter no man who is addicted to drink will be appointed an organizer. T. B. Maguire, the ruling spirit of hfc "Home Club," an organization within District Assembly 49, Knights of Labor, of New York, was in the city yesterday and passed several hours in consultation with G. Harry Taylor, who is also alleged to be a member of he " Home Club," and with General Secretary-Treasurer Frederick Turner at his headquarters at 500 Locust Street. Mr. Maguire is a brilliant manager of men and a fascinating con versationalist. He speaks with great rapidity and with a slightly Irish ac- He denied, in conversank*- with a Press reporter, that the " Home Club " lad any designs of displacing General laster Workman Powderly from his losition, and declared that the leaders of District Assembly 4!) are Powderly's warmest friends. He characterized the reports in some newspapers concerning the doings of the " Home Club" as false, and affirmed that he knew of no disreputable schemes which that organ zation are carrying on. Mr. Maguire eft the city in a late train for New York.-— Free Press. ■•-— Appeal to the Ballot. To workingmen who think it must j become daily more apparent that they have little hope of legislation in their favor through either of the chief politi cal parties into which our voters are divided. It is true that the sympathies of the masses of both parties are with them, but the politicians care for nothing but their votes. Candidates promise to do anything when on the stump, and disregard their pledges af ter election. They go to the legisla ture or to Washington and vote con trary to the way they promised they would vote, against tha interests of Labor aLd in favor of capital. Not all of them, to be sure, but the most of them pursue this course. While labor organizations have no political purposes in view, it is time their members began to think about tbe expediency of voting for candidates nominated by the party with which they have been associated. Perhaps the day has not come for the formatiefti of a distinctively labor party, though it is fast approaching. But workingmen can and ought to watcßjtUe. actions of their legislative and congressional rep resentatives, and when they do wrong ought to vote against them if they are candidates for re-election. They should do this irrespective of political lines. They must quit being hide-bound by party. Party names ought to be nothing to them where the principles for which they are contending are in volved. It is much better to be repre sented in the Legislature or in Con gress by one who is opposed to you politically, but who is true to your la bor interests, than by one who pro fesses the same political faith you do but who will sell out to the first mo nopolist who will pay the price. Do not forget that, but scan the records of your representatives, now that elections Employer and employee can yet hope to clasp hands across the chasm be tween capital and labor. The result of the labor troubles must be a peaceful i revolution out of the clutch of money kings, for they will squeeze the very >f life-blood out of the republic if Wall % street and the New York stock ex r change are not soon placed on the list | for the purpose of investigation.—- A>.

Just Arrived. A full line of Alpaca and Seersucker Coats and Vests in nobby patterns at The Ten Per Cent Clothing House, Owen, Spencer & Co, 313 Broad Street -»-»-«»~-*- A Very Lively Corpse. About a month ago, Jay Gould said that the Knights of Labor had got their "death-blow." Just at that time, the clerks at headquarters were beginning to foot up the reports of 1 lie previous fortnight, which showed that, within the last two weeks of April. 090 Local Assemblies had been organized. This , was the first sign of the death-blow. There has been another sign of it dur ing the month of May in which close upon 2,000 applications for charters have been received from various parts of the country. "On roll call." said Mr. Powderly, a few days ago. "we can muster 8,000 Assemblies, with a membership of not less than one mil lion, or quardruple our strength at the time of the last General Assembly in October." It is thus that the Knights are booming under the death-blow. If Gould should give them another death blow, they might have swallowed him without knowing it. It is a very lively corpse. But Gould won a victory over them in the Southwest There was once a famous General, who after winning the day, looked over the field of carnage where the flower of his army lay bleed ing, and exclaimed, " Another such vie tory, and I am lost! "■— Ex. See that poor old man tottering to the grave. He has toiled as 1 ing as he was able, but now lacks the cemforts and probably the necessaries if life. Has he been extravagant in hie day ?

The Land Question. 1 : During the whole progress o the ! formidable agitation which has been 1 carried on by the Knights of Labor and trades unionists it is noticeable ': that hardly any meeting bus been held I where the speakers forgot to emphas ze ; the land question as tue >nf\. ' rock of more equitable c-a --i | ditions. In the congress which has I I been going on in Cleveland thi* l'unda ' j mental question has been kept -in view • every day. That it is a legitai ate one ' we all understand. When we ral MMB s ber that corporations, foreign land ' grabbers aud syndicates have alnady " come into possession of an extait ol territory equal in area to seven avrage - i states of the union, and reflect alsc I j upon the scandalously corrupt Be thodi "I by which it has been acquire.!, it ii - j time that somebody was astir. > Among the extensive correspondence - ! of Mr. Powderly he says he litis uumer 3 ous letters from parties who have beei ' driven from their homes with hot gum 8; in the hands of hirelings employ ed b] syndicates who, through bribery anc the most corrupt? forms of lobbying c | received vast grants of the people': i-1 land illegally. This class of me n ari f \ more dangerous to American ibert; |' than the bomb-throwers of Chicago y It is the sacred duty of this govern y ment to unseat the illegal lanU grab II bers with all the vigor it can cor mand :- and a million and a half of oi /anizee t workingmen are on the iter! to se ■. | what progress is reported.— A- Early Closing Movement. RieiiMo.vn, Va , June '.', 1888, Editor The Lahor Herald: I am glad to see the ball set in mo ion in behalf of the clerks of our city, vlreaely three of our leading dry goods louses —Messrs. Cohen Bros., Sycle L>ros., and Breeden, Tally & Co., have :oaimenced dosing their places of Misiness at Ii P. M., thus allowing not inly their clerks, but themselves time 'or much needed recreation. This is a step in the right direction and one that ihoold be taken at once, anel no doubt will be, by all tbe leading houses. It is but justice that it shoulel; there'is oot a firm that wonkl lose by it. Let it be known that all the first-class es tablishmentß close at 0 P. M., anil gen- Leel trade will not come oat to patron ize the small fry. I elo not mean by this small establishments, for the large firms who fail to enter into this agree incut or plan are far more piccayune and less deserving of patronage or even respect than the smaller ones which only keep the proprietors am their families on hand for the catc 1 penny trade. Our hardware merchants are closing at 7. Nearly all of our grocery, tea and shoe merchants o Broad street have signified their will ingness to close at 7. Now there are OT(iam?taiu£a._conaesiteeL with theg| businesses which may necessitate their being kept open until 7, but such is not the case with the dry goods busi ness. Then if they will not close at C o'clock, is not the remedy in the hands of our generous public, and will they hesitate to apply the remetly ! Let them make it unpopular by refusing to patronize these firms. Let them make it unprofitable to these firms by pat ronizing those firms who have some consideration for their employees, and through them for their families; and influence your friends to do the same. And now a word specially to ladies. There is not a firm that will refuse to close at 6 o'clock if the other hours are not profitable to them. Can you not, then, and will you not, in the interest of humanity anel for the sake of those toiling slaves, who serve you faithfully and unremittingly, so arrange your af fairs that all your purchases may be made between the hours of 8 A. M. and <> P. M. Business. Nothing will prove more injurious to an Assembly than bickerings and petty jealousies within the ranks of the mem bers. The principles at stake are of too serious a nature to allow selfish ness or unreasonableness to thrust itself to the front.— Ex. The William McCully firm of New York, which has been eiperat'ng a non union glass factory for a numbei of years, has dischargee! its non ution men and put in a full force of unionists anil the boycott on its wares has leen officially declareel off.— Ex. As to the eight hour matter, a jjid elle course might be pursued. Mann facturers might try it for a mouth, and see how it would work. It will pay employers to pursue a conciliatory course in this as in all other matters of affecting their workmen.— Ex. Eight hours' work means a saving in the material strength of the nation, and the employment of the idle who want work. It would aid the return of busi ness prosperity, and it would help the people to live in greater comfort than under a system of longer hours. The demand for it is based upon men grounds as these, and its advantage ■ appeals to the interests of capital as well as of labor.— Ex. NEW BAKERY!
