The results of the work by labor bureaus, in the opinion of the best authorities, Is not'so much to secure lexis: lation as to educate public sentiment and place before the public the exact condition of the in- dustrial classes. In this way in some states the owners of factories have been compelled to erect fire escapes for the factory buildings, and the ‘same source of enlightenment hus shown to them the evils aswell as the actual losses of unsanitary homes fr workingmen. AS ts indie the underlying ‘idea in the minds of those favoring. the ‘establishment of labor bureaus is to obtain and diffuse informa- jon upon the condition aud needs of the indus- trial classes, and, by a process of education, bring about Such a change in public opinion as Will result in the reform of abuses and the amelioration of the condition of the labori jan. “Those labor reformers who — hi a When thestreams dry up in. certain seasons of the yearafd where great tanks are built to catch rain water for the immense herds of eat- tle thatare raised there, many of these taul have been stocked with carp, and_ the herde: and cattlemen now enjoy the luxury of fish, which they had not known before.

HOW THE FISH ARE SIIIPPED. ‘These shipments are mude in cars built espe- cially for the commission.

WHY THE FISH DON'T COME BACK. “The return of the shad in a river which has been stocked ts sometimes complained of as unsatisinetory,” said one of the oldest. and most experienced employes toa STak reporter, ‘bat they don’t take Into consideration all the circumstances. Take, for instance, the Poto mac, whieh has been well stocked’ with shad, and which should have given a large yicld of that fish this season. It did not reach the ex- Pretations of mom, but why? | There is proba- ly no river which is so filed with nets as the Potomac. Its inouth is ned with them, some times extending into the channel, and even en- croaching on the bay, When the lish come up to spawn and reach the mouth of the river it is Wiflicult for them to flud # passaxe up the river, and they either run Into one of the nets and came quite popular, and were always largely attended, and as the programs were carefully prepared, so us lo bring out the best effects of the choir, and asat each rehearsal the choir the most skilful 1 and instrumental, inthe District, it may well be imagined that the stock f the choir was at a good altitude. Matters moved along sinvothly Jor three years when, in January, 1878, Mr. E.S, Holines was elected. the leadér of the choir, Mr. Holmes had ‘been the director oi the Washington Masonic choir, and had brought that association toa high de gree of vocif perfection, and when he as- sumed the baton of the Georgetown choir he carried to the position the results of the ex- perience he had gained in Washington. Thi was immediately felt by the members, who seemed to take a new Interest in their practice And to show a desire todo even better work, than formerly. A change in the organist had also been made, Mr. Gross retiring, and Mr, Waldo Tastett béing elected his successor. THE PUBLIC REHEARSALS WERE CONTINUED, and concerts were given for the choir’s own Leneiit, which were liberally patronized, Mr, Holmes continued as leader until Jauuary,1882, when he resigned and Mr. E, Holer assumed control, It was during Mr. Holmes’ director- ship that the Georgetown Masonic choir made iy appearance in Washington as anor “anization, singing in the Congregational church December’19, 1840, Iu respouse Loan earnest ‘from the trustees and rf pted this method of effecting their objects, are pursuing a diametrically opposite course from another class of reformers who unze the laboring people to familiarize therm- solves with the nature and churacter of explo- sives in order that they may use force to bring ‘about the needed reforms. OPPOSING VIEWS, ‘These represent the extremes in opinion of those actively Interested in the settlement of questions connected with the condition and Im- provement of the laboring classes, The former are largely in the majority, and are believed to represent the true sentiment of the masses of the laboring people of tis country. The labor bureaus In thestutes are of course inthe interest of mdderation as opposed to violence, and the nationfl bureau as organized will proceed on the same basis, The blll authorizing the, bu- reau was approved by President Arthur June 27th, 1884, and shortly afterwards Joan’ Jur. rett, of Pitisburg, the president of the am: gamiated iron workers, a labor organization, was uomitiated and confirmed.
