The Brotherhood of Carpenters

ulgated the following resolutions:
1. Tha,t nine hours shall conxtitute a
y's work on and after the lirst day of
iy, 137, to April 1, 1W8.
i. That from ami after Raid date no
nilier of this union will Ik allowed to

t. That the wages for average men shall

I. That the minimum wagt-s shall Ix-
per day.
i. That all overtime for workdays shall

Sunday it shall ho double time.
The bosses' organization was fur
died with a copy immediately upon
adoption, so that they cannot
nplain of not receiving three
nths' notice. The Reijislvr pub
lies the ravings of a boss who
njtlains that lie lost by lust

"FIGHT IN THE DARK."
Henry George in last week's
Slinithtnl ably takes the Herald to
task for its apparent ignorance of
tho conditions environing tho labor
movement. Referring to tho uso of
force, Mr. (ieorge says very point
edly: "As for the morality of strikes it
is precisely that of any other appli
cation of coercive force. They who
really hold that 'whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn
to him the other also;' and 'if any
man will take away thy coat, let him
have thy cloak also;' they who hold
that the command, 'Thou shalt not
kill,' applies as well to the man in
uniform as to the man in plain
clothes, might with some consistency
condemn strikes; but they alone.
If tiiere are any such people, they
are not to be found in the editorial
rooms of our great dailies or tho pul
pits of our fashionable churches."
In closing his article Mr. fleorge
asserts that "competition, instead of
crushing the laborer, will secure to
him the fair reward of his toil." It
is now in order for Mr. (ieorge to
tell his fellow workmen what ''corn
petition" and what "the fair re
ward" means.
MALTHUSIAN MOONSHINE.
Two old hens and u young chicken
were living in a one-acre field adjoining
a farm house. After a while another
young chicken came to live with them.
The two old hens said the young ones
must nay them three parta of wSat tbev
picked up, as they had a right to every
thing found in the field, and should have
claimed the whole were they not so kind
hearted and charitable. The two young
chickens pulled out their handkerchiefs
to wipe away Ihe tears of gratitude and
cheerfully acceded to the proposal. They
adopted the system and it, worked excel
lently, but after a while the chickens

(hey were so poor when they worked so
hard, and the old hens themselves so

said the old hens, "theee's not room in
