TALKING OVER THE GRIRVANCES OF WORKINGMEN— THR CIGAR MAKERS FIGHT AGAINST “RAT-SHOP” LABOR—IN FAVOR OF AN APPRENTICE LAW—A COM- MITTEE ON ORGANIZATION. A meeting of the Federation of Labor was held at Timms hail last evening, and was called to or. der by Mr. G. Edmondston,—delegates from the carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers, cigar makers, paper hangers and tailors organizations present. Mr. Thomas A. Gaddis presided, with Samuel Boyce, secretary. Mr. Edmonston suggested that the appolutment of a committee on constitution and the permanent organization be deferred as several unions had not yet elected delegates. THE CIGAR MAKERS’ STAMP. ‘Mr. Edmonston also stited that he had recetved some specnen labels of the International Cigar Makers’ Union, which were being use by manu- facturers paying the union prices, reading a8 fol- ows ‘IssUED BY AUTHORITY OF THE Cra4n Makers’ Ix- Uso oF AMEICS. ‘@ First-C ava Workman, a 1m ‘international Unien of America, | junend these Cigars to all smokers throushout the Au] nfrineerrenta upon this Label will be pun- shed according to law, NE OSELESSTBRASSER, Pestient, Mu.

McDonald addressed the federation, stating that the clyar makers deserved all the help the delegates could give them. He sald that In Cleve- land a good file maker obtained $> per day, and asked What mechanic obtained such wages here. ‘The government here, he sald, is paying in rents for old vulldings “the {nterest on $2,000,000, while it owns 15,000 acres of land here, and Shotld be pushing Torward the necessary buildings. Instead of erecting a building the ’s Bank building, which 1s totally un- Was purchased." He urged that they utah apprentice law be passed. He piracy laws, under which they could not inake a move, should be knocked off the books. ‘The lien law, too, deserved attention, for at present the journéymah has no protection, and he should be protected as well as the boss. IN FAVOR OF AN APPRENTICE LAW. Mr. Powers, of the Seaman’s National Unton of 0, Tead from the report of the labor con- gress in Pittsburg the resolutions favoring the | passage of a uniform apprentice law, and said that | no one casting his eyes over the country could fail to see the necessity of such law; but he thought it would require years to convince Congress that should pass such a law. These resolutions were passed by a congress of 115 delegates, repre- senting 300,000 workingmen. ‘They had a commit- tee on education and labor, but when did they see abillin the interest of labor introduced. There Wras urgent necessity for a general apprentice law; for under the present wa law any man could become a carpenter or bricklayer. In urging co- operation he said even the bootblacks Will not tol- erate “scabs.” THE TENEMENT HOUSE CIGARS, Mr. Powers remarked that a few weeks ago he | visited some of the tenement houses In New York where cigar making !s carried on, and the revoit- Ing sights there seen was enough to have caused any than to stop smoking. He would say that West the workingmen determined that the Chinese should not come @ast of the Rocky Mountains, and they were favorable to Senator Miller's bill and to Mr. Page's bill.

Without the skill and muscle of the house carpenter, the elaborate designs of Mr. Clusg | would never have been reproduced on anything except paper, for he could not, execute them him- self.

He took one of the fac-similes of the flattened bullet shot at him by Ser- Mason, and holding up a photo graph, and putting himself in position, said {t Was perfectly wonderful that the ball should have made such a good likeness.

An event of more than usual interest occurred at Kendall Green last evening. A special exhibl- tion of the students and pupils was given to Presi- dent Arthur, who fs ex oficio the patron of the tustitution. Dr. Gallaudet hf invited the mem- bers of the Cabinet, the jistices of the Supreme Court, the Vice President, the Speaker, the mem- bers of the appropriation-committees of the Senate and House of Representatives, the comptroller and first auditor of the Treasury, with the ladies of their familtes, to meet the President and witness the exhibition. Nesrly all who were invited, to- gether with the directors of the institution, were present, making a company of about one hundred. ‘The first exhibition was at the gymnasium, where the President was received with a salute from the stulents of the college, about forty In number. Exe With the chest weights and light dumb- belis were then given, under the direction of Mr. Joln J. Chiekering, tie instructor of gymnastles. The President expressed great Interest In this drill, and remarked tO Dr. Gallaudet that although it might now seem improbable, he Was once very expert in athletic exercises. From the gymnasium the company proceeded to the hall, visiting some of the students’ rooms in tye colléze as they passad through tat bullding. n the hall the exhibition was opened witha dress of welcome, given orwily by John rke, & puptl of the primary department, fourteen ‘yea ge. ‘This boy bas been dumb from infane wid not speak a word tures ; aliy understood by delivery elicited the warmest Ltwlet then explained the meth- s ching mutes to spe nd ex- hibited pupils, all of whom were Dora deaf. Two litte boys then rendered some of Longtetio im of Lite in the sin ge, anit a i nine years recited, in signs, the child “Now I lay me down to sleep.” This closed the exhibition of the primary depart- emp! ment. When the curtuin rose again the students of the college occupied the stage, and a member of tee Jaulore 88, Mr. Thos. F. Fox, of New York, made an address to the President’ and the other guests, surprising every one with the fine control he had of hits votce, and his graceful delives Mr. Fox was not born ‘deaf, but has been totally with- out hearing since his early boyhood. - Dr. Gallaudet then called to the platform Messrs. Coleman, of South Carolina; Zelzler, of Pennsy vanla; Sinith, of Minnesota? Veditz, of Maryland; Palmer, of Tennessee; Davidson, of New Jersey, and Hahson, of Wisconsin, representing the sev- eral classes of the college, ‘and soifcited from the audience questions or toples that might be given to the young men, as subjects for impromptu com- positions. In a khort time the following were Suggested: “Recent Changes in the Government France,” “Recent Political Events in Russia,” jormonisin,” “Why Are Women dy” Questions “Than Men?” “Woman's Rights.” and “Arctte Exploration.” In a very few minutes the young men had written on the subjects assizned, the readiness and bril- Maney of thelr responses occastoning genuine astonishment. Dr. Gallaudet then Introduced Mr. W. G. Jones, now a teacher in the New York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, who graduated from the college a few years since. Many in Washington will remember Mr. Jones as a most remarkable sign maker—excelling especially In humorous panto- mime. He kept the Prestdent and the other guests In continous laughter, while he represented certain animals, their motions and pecullarities. The exercises ‘in the hall were concluded by a little play, prepared by the young men, in which the adventures of a deaf-mute artist, trying to find the locality of the battle of Bull Run, were shown. The principal actors in this play Were Messrs, Saxton, of ‘Troy, N. ¥., the artist, and Zeigler, of Philadelphia, an ‘old woman. ‘This plece showed Arent sense’of humor and greatly delighted the visitors, At the conclusion of the exercises works of art were exhibited by some of the students, who ure being instructed by Mr. A. D. Bryant,'a recent aduate of the college, a young arust of growing it. ‘The President in_taking his leave expressed the warmest interest in the institution and his gratif- cation with what te had see During the lusion was made by Dr. to the fact that the day marked the fith anniversary of the corporate exist- ence of the Institution. He also s brielly of the interest tiken by Hon. Amos Kendall in found- ing the institution. eee ee ‘The Courts. CounT IN GENERAL TERM.
