AUTHENTIC ADVICES FROM RELIABLE
CORRESPONDENTS IN ALL SEC
TIONS OF THE COUNTRY
RICHMOND.
Business in this city is somewhat im
proving, and it is probable that all
trades will be iv a somewhat healthy
condition as soon as the weather fairly
opens.
The hod-carriers employed on the
new union depot in this city struck last
week for an increase from $1.25 to
$1.50 per day. The demaud was re
fused by the bosses, and the men are
out on a strike. All the brickmasons
employed on this building are members
of the Stonemasons' Union, yet they
refused to sustain these poor laborers
in their just demand. This action on
the part of the brickmasons has created
much dissatisfaction in labor circles,
and is the main topic of conversation
at present. The matter has been re
ferred to our D. A. Executive Board,
and it is pretty certain that the end is
not yet No trade union in this city
would be able to maintain itself but
for the protection extended to them by
the K. of L.
The hod-carriers are ifS9Tf;" Knights '
of Labor, and it is not proposed to al
low the tail to wag the kite. x
fThe boycotted firm of Baughman
Bros, is having a hard time to keep
their heads above water, and' it is cvi
dent that this office will be a union of
fice in the near future, or have a red!
flag hung at the front door.
Local option is the' topic now dis
cussed by Richmonders. A long list
of citizens—those who have large
amounts of money invested in business
—was published in the State Saturday
with their opinions as to how the
adoption of a local option law would
affect business, and they were unani
mous in the expression that it would j
be paralyzing.
WASHINGTON.
Spatial to The Labor Herald.
As the Ist of May draws near the
different unions and the master build
ers are preparing for a test of strength
on the eight hour question. The build
ers having declared that they would
engage in no work on the eight-hour
basis, the journeymen organized co-op
erative companies to do the work on
their own account. The builders be
came alarmed thereat, and have en
deavored to form a coalition with the
supply dealers and induce the latter to
furnish no material to union men or
those employing union men. To this
scheme the carpenters have responded
that they will not work on any building
or job where the material is. furnished
by dealers belonging to this combina
tion. The ranks of the journeymen are
fast closing up and the number of non.
union men is rapidly decreasing. The
next few days will develop an element
of strength in our ranks that will make
the master builders stop and think be
fore the final contest commences. We
have a certain victory for eight hours
if the city is not flooded with non-union
men from other sections. We earnestly
request union men of other cities be
longing to the building trades to keep
away from Washington until victory is
announced.
Next week there will be an ODen
meeting of the Federation of Trades to
discuss the eighthour question in its
relations to local building operations.
The following is an extract from Mr.
Norwood's speech in the House on the
silver bill:
" The wrecker is the man who gives
as his reason for opposing silver that
his heart's desire is for the wage
earner to get an honest dollar. He de
scends from his sanctuary in Wall
street as the high priest came from the
sacrifice of doves in the Holy of Holies,
and with garments dripping with the
blood of a thousand " lambs " just sac
rificed to Mammon beseeches the peo
ple to share with him an honest dollar.
His philanthropy and beseeching face
as he pleads with his victims to receive
honest money beggars Webster's Una
bridged. Burke exhausted his almost
boundless resources in the " Beautiful
and Sublime; " Shakespeare portrays
his ideal of a friend in the noble char
acter of lago, as he strove by every
manly appeal to allay the jealousy of
Orthello; he has given his best con
ception of a Christian creditor in the
measured justice and mercy of Shylock;
Dickens touched the limit of descriptive
power in the pious sincerity of Mr.
Pecksniff and the statuesque posing of
Mr. Turveydrop; Bret Harte has
aroused the sympathy of millions by
his tearful pathos in the
gentle, the childlike and blami, the Ce
lestial heathen Chicee j but when and
whence shall come another Burke, an
other Shakespeare, Dickins, or Harte,
who can rise to the height of his great
argument and do justice to the beauty
and sublimity, the disinterested, the
self-sacrificing friendship, the Christian
justice, the unmitigated sincerity, the
exquisite pose, and the celestial inno
cence of the wreckei as he implores
the people to " come without money
and without price" and accept from
his hands an honest dollar?
" They are the men who have con
spired and combined their hundreds ol
millions to oppress the laborer, and
they are responsible for the counter
combinations of laborers to resist that
oppression and to maintain the dignity
of l«ior. The " strikes " are a protesl
agwnst the heartless oppression ol
combined capital. They are the # only
hopeful sign of deliverance from the
wreckers, and I shall hail it with a feel
ing of relief. The issue is at last joined
and the contest is between the wreckers
and the strikers. My sympathies an
with the strikers when they are withir
the law. Public sympathy will support
them so long as they are prudent anc
peaceful and respect the law, and with
in the law I bid them Godspeed ir
their struggle with the wreckers.
" They should not feel discouraged
They are gaining ground. Public sym
pathy for them is stronger than ii
1876 during the strikes at Pittsburg
They should not appeal to Congresi
for assistance. This is not the plact
to seek relief, even if Congress had tht
power to give it. It is to be found ii
the big heart of this mighty people; in
lawful combinations and the use of law
ful measures to oppose the tyranny of
this vast aggregation of money in a
few hands; by educating the people to
heap scorn and contempt on the men
who, through gluttonous greed for
millions more, are grinding the poor to
death; by taking care to be represented
in every legislature by pure, just, and
able men; by retiring to private life
every representative and office holder
who, with no income but his salary,
acquires wealth while in office ; by cul
tivating a patriotism that embraces all
sections in a common brotherhood and
destroys forever all unkind feeling and
sentiment engendered by the war, and
by refusing at all times to make wealth
the test of qualification for office, or to
permit it to buy its way to office and
to power.

The largest mass meeting of the
Knights of Labor ever held in this city
was called to order in Union Hall last
Sunday to listen to the able address of
General Master Workman, Powderly.
The sentiments contained in the able
documents received the warmest com

The difficulties between the officials

The bakers of this city are thoroughly
organized, and want shorter hours
more pay and less apprentices.
Quite a number of our manufactu
rers have voluntarily increased the
wages of their employees, this is cer
tainly a healthy sign.
Last Sunday the new scale of prices
was discussed by the Union printers of
Pittsburg, and a special meeting held
Monday, when it was adopted.
Only one boycott is now on the offi-

The Committee of Arrangements of

several months ago, the convention will

Ground is now being broken at
Homestead for a new plate mill.
All our Labor Unions are booming.
The cabinet makers want their work

The eighthour movement is gaining

cooler heads of the organization think
the time has not yet come.

NEW TO—_
Social to The Labor Herald.
All the news of this vicinity pales
before the warlike reports of the West
ern railroad strike, which is absorbing
our interest to the exclusion of local
affairs. The most notable item here is
the promptitude with which the Assem.
blies and Unions have begun to raise
assistance for the striking railroaders.
The printers were the first in the field,
and they acted through their District
Assembly, No. 64, of the Knights of
Labor. They have been followetkhr
the other trade assemblies as rapidly
as meetings could be called, and you
need have no fear about New York
making a good record on this occasion.
It is not only the K. of L. who are
opening their treasuries, but also the
Unions outside of that Order, and the
Socialist organizations are not behind
hand. It seems as though the city, in
iseof emergency, could be relied upon
r a large weekly sum.
At yesterday's meeting of the Central
ibor Union a committee was appointed

neral boycott upon Jay Gould in this

sources of the boycott are large, and

BALTIMORE.
BglUlaJ to The Labor Herad
Mr. Charles Stieff, a piano manufac
turer here, has gained in the past few
weeks some practical, as well as costly,
experience in the boycotting business.
The conduct of one of his foremen,
one Wilkering, in attempting to have
reduced the wages of the pianomakers
under him, and his other oppressive
acts, endorsed by Stieff, led to a strike.
Every attempt on the part of the Piano
makers Union since the strike to bring
about a settlement of difficulties has
j failed, and now that employer has begun
to realize what there is in the boycott,
as several of his pianos, which had
been in use under rent at public halls,
have been returned to him within the
past week. So much for boycott. It
is the general impression that Mr.
Stieff is at the point of surrendering
at discretion.
The most notable event in labor cir
cles in this section is the great out
pouring of employees at Mount Clare,
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad &_**f
' into the fold of the Knights of Labor;
the Mount Clare Iron Workers' Assem
bly alone now numbers 1,300 members.
Midnight Assembly, car drivers and
conductors, added forty new members
to its roll on Friday night. Many of
the street-car men are much dissatisfied
with the situation of things at present
They are enjoying the benefit of the
recent law, which gives them but
twelve hours on duty, but the mana
gers of the street car lines are putting
the screws to these employees in the
way of curtailing the number of former
trips whereby their $2 at least were
daily earned. There is trouble brewing
and a general tie-up may be looked for
at any moment, unless in the meantime
a better feeling is brought about be
tween the companies and employees.
Preparations are being made here by
the labor organizations generally for a
big eight hour demonstration on the
first of May.
Twenty-five probationary Assemblies
are waiting to be fully organized into
the Order of K. of L.

PETERSBURG,
pecial to The Labor Herald.
The Knights seem to be in earnest
here, about securing for themselves a '
hall. The various Assemblies have ap
pointed committees to act jointly in
the matter, and we may expect soon to
see a hall in our city that will do credit
to any Order. We also hear a good
deal of talk about co-operation. Among
the industries mentioned in this con
nection is the granite business and a
cigarette factory. As to the former
business, we doubt not it could be made
a grand success with a small capital.
We have quite a number of first-class
granite cutters in our city, and the raw
material lies in inexhaustible quantities
at our very doors.
The striking tag-boys at Yenable's
tobacco works have returned to work,
with a few exceptions.
We hear that the bakers here are
soon to organize a union. So mote it
be.
Another cotton mill will be put in
operation here on the 15th inst. This
makes the fifth one of these mills that
are in full operation in and around our
city. They have agreed to pay their
hands off every two weeks instead of
monthly, as heretofore. This little is a
great convenience to the operatives,
but the great thing they need is fewer
working hours to the day. They are
worked too long. It is inhuman.
Now that the spring has fairly opened,
we hope soon to see the carpenters and
bricklayers busy.
There is no room for rat printers in
this city. The town is thorougly union.

TRENTON.
Sliecial to The Labor Herald.
The Knight of Labor Temple in this
city, which thus far has loomed up only
in the imagination of their committee,
will soon begin to assume tangible
shape. By the recent bazaar a fund of
nearly £9,000 was raised to start with,
and the building committee are now
arranging for a grand two days picnic
to still further swell the fund. It is
expected that by August $25,000 will
be secured, when a site will be eelected,
stock will be issued to members of the
Order to the amount of $50,000, and
the temple will be erected. There
seems at present no question but that
the Knights of Labor will soon own
one of the finest buildings in this city.
The Gould strike is having a good
effect here. The' Order is strongly in
sympathy with the strikers and will
soon make their sympathies manifest
in a substantial manner. The rail
roaders Assemblies are particularly in
dignant at the outrages their brethren
in the Southwest have been subjected
to, and a vote of the firemen and engi
neers in this section would be almost
unanimous in favor of sustaining the
strikers.
Business of all kinds is improving,
and the workingmen are receiving
through committees concessions which
have hitherto been denied them.
An effort by some local politicians to
rope the K. of L. into politics this
spring has been emphatically squelched,
and the work of education goes peace
fully on. But a little longer and Tren
ton will be able to teach its sister cities
of Organized Labor lessons in how to
emancipate the wage-slaves.

Ohio, who had been placed on the boy-
Ctt list for handling scab nails, pledges
uself to handle Union nails only in
future and pay £5 per pound if any
scab nails are ever found in his place.
His pledge was accepted and the boy
cott raised.
The Miners Union have succeeded in
winning the largest coal firm to accept
their terms. They will modify their
screen, increase the price, discharge all
blacksheep who are not acceptable to
the Union and run a strictly Union coal
bank. The name of this firm, Easily

boycott list.
The conference between the United
Nailers, Heaters and Rollers, and the
Western Nail Association ended with
the two organizations wider apart than
ever. The manufacturers would not
recognize the heaters and rollers, and
to the nailers they offered the 17 cent
scale. The proposals were indignantly
rejected, and the ten month's strike
continues.
! The nailers issued an appeal to orga
nized labor to vigorously boycott the
product of scab nail mills. This appeal
they ask all labor papers to pulish, and
all Unionists and sympathizers with
Unionism to read and act upon. If
this is done the Western Nail Manu

Good Advice.
Rev. Dr. Newman Smith addressed
a newly organized Labor Lyceum in
New Haven last Sunday, and in speak
ing of the troubles that are now so
common and distressing, he declared
that arbitration is the new and most
promising method of settling difficul
ties between labor and capital, and al
though no legal tribunals now exist be
fore which such matters may be re
ferred, it is a possibility of the near
future that courts may be created which
will settle disagreements between em
ployer and employees, when arbitration
ii unjustly refused. The Knights of
Labor, he said, have a terrible power
at present, and the great problem is
how to use it. If they attempt to make
a tyrannical abuse of their power the
public will soon rise up and overwhelm
the organization, and' the Knights will
—3 w&U to carefully choose between
shrewd and practical leaders like Mr.
Powderly, who shall study the effect of
each move on the future success of the
organization, and those who rashly
rwh for this or that measure, inspired
only by the hope of present triumph.
The country may well thank Mr.
Smith and all like him, who are stand
ing ii]} again* the spirit of unreason
and thoughtlessness that now aud then
shows itself among those who are en
gaged in strikes. In all organizations
such as these that are composed of
Kuights of Labor, we find that bad
and injudicious men force themselves
to the front, and lacking in all the ele
ments of successful leadership, soon
brirg trouble where good results would
have been attaired had their places
been filled by honest, thoughtful and
discreet leaders. If there ever was a
time when intelligent leadership and
wise discretion is needed to insure suc
cess, and bring out of these troubles
sncii a settlement as will redound, not
only to the interest of the workingmen,
but to the manufacturers, and the
general public, now is that time, and
this is the occasion, and we are glad to
see so many leading men* use their in
fluence in behalt of peace, order and
arbitration.— Ne "s.
