TO BE DISSOLVED ASD ORGANIZED UPON A NEW BASIS AND WITHOUT ANY CONNECTION WITH THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. District Master Workman Mitchell, of NewYork, in reply to a New York Herald reporter, who asked him, ‘What ts the program of the Telegra- phers’ Brotherhood now?” replied as follows: “The first thing to be done 1s to cut loos from the Knights of Labor, and we canuot do that too soon.” las that been decided upon?” es. 1 15 my opinion that the Knightsot Labor organization will be a thing of the past in six months from now. We ought never to have been connected with the ord-ratall. There were hun- dreds of men who would have helped us in our fight but for the fact that the movement was con- nected with all the other labor organizations, and those who employe labor largely declined to countenance our cause because they foresaw in its success a general struggle between employers and employes backe! by the Knights of Labor. It we had gone into the fizht simply as a boay of teleg- raphers, without any weakening entanglements, I think we would have been much stronger. We have had an experience that will be valuable in our next movement.” “What will be the next movement?” “I might as well tell you now that the Tele- graphers’ Brotherhood will be dissolved when Dis- trict Master Workman Campbell meets the other district leaders in Pittsburg this week. I am going to Pittsburg with him to-nght. The con- sent of all the officers will be asked before the dis- bandment takes place, and then Mr. Campbell and Seretary Hughes will probably be empowered to wind up the organization's affialrs.” “Are you golng to reorganize?” “Certainly, and at once. The operators who have gone back to work swear by the brotherhood, and a new and better organization 13 to be effected. We will work right along unul we are prepared to get our rights. There will never be another strike, but I will say this, that when we begin our next struggle every operator will have at least $50 in bank on his own account. This ought to be in the hands of a committce of trus- tees, who would pay each man’s board out of his own rund until the movement was a success. We can also have a general fund.” Mr. Mitchell further said that the Western Union company had refused to employ the women operators and were trying to starve them asa punishment and warning to others, —————_-2-_____.

The above are the words of Mrs, Harriet Bailey, of Putaam, Conn, She writes May 3, 1883:.-I have been troubled with kidney snd liver disease for two years. Teuffered severly in the back and loins. Before taking your wonderful medicine, Hunt's Remedy, I could not lift pound.

THE SCHEME PRONOUNCED PRACTICABLR—A SAVING OF FIVE HUNDRED MILES BETWEEN NEW ORLEANS AND NEW YORK. The Florida Ship Canal and Transit Company, at a meeting in New York, yesterday, recetved the Teport of Gen. Charles P. Stone, the engineer ap- pointed to ascertain whether a tidewater ship canal can be constructed across the pentnsula of Fior- ida, Taking the route surveyed by him in May, he estimates that such a.canal can be constructed of sufficient width and depth to allow the passage of two sea-golng steamers of first class without | inconventence ata total cost of $46,000,000. The | total length of the canal would be 1374 miles, and the highest elevation in crossing the watershed 143 feet, but this deep cut would only be for a short distance. ‘The saving of distance by the canal on | steam vessels between New York and New leans would be 500 miles, between New Orleans and Liverpool 412, Ney York and Pensacola 600. A steamship making 11 miles an hour would gain about 45 hours in the passage from New*York to New Orleans, The gain by avolding the danger- ous passage through the Florida strats wouid be very great, the loss from wreckage being about $3,000,000 per year. Gov. Brown says the prospects of’ the canal are very encouraging. Prominent capitalists are forming a construction company, which will submit a proposition to the board of directors at their next meeting, September 17. Among those present were Hon. John C. Brown, resident; Hon. Geo. C. Gorham, secretary; Gov Cameron, Senator Mahone, Gen. Grover and A. W Jones, of Virginta; Townsend Cox, Michael Ju- cobs and 8. T. Meyer, of New York, and Senator Mann and Chas. H. Jones, of Florida.
