THE EARLY-CLOSING MOVEMENT. The Objects of the Clerks’ Assembly Explained at a Public Meeting. THE AGITATION FOR A SIX-0'CLOCK CLOSING HOUR TO BE CONTINUED—MERCHANTS WHO WANT PROTECTION FROM THEIR RIVALS— THE CLERKS AND THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR, About seventy-tive clerks, belonging princi- pally in East Washington, assembled at Wash- ington hall, corner Pennsylvania avenue and 8d street southeast, last evening at the call of the Clerks’ assembly, K. of I, Mr. W. H. Daniel presided, and J. W. Blakelock per formed the duties of secretary. The chairman, in explaining the object of the meeting, said the ultimate object of the association was to secure the early closing of the stores ot Wash- ington, Ine large measure it had already auc- ceeded, Seven o'clock had already been fixed ‘as the hour for closing in a many stores, although it is intended ‘ulumately 0 have them close an hour earlier. The advice given at the meeting of the employers some ‘time 8g0, not to be ton precipitate, but to fix the hour at seven o'clock and see how it works,tad been followed. In the meantime the move- ment to induce shoppers to do no shopping after six o'clock 1s active, The public gener: erally agree, he said, that. the claims of the as. sociation are just aud are in the interests of Food Morals, intended to atford clerics some ttle time for rest and recreation, of which they have heretofore been deprived. ' Some of the employers who were at first inclined to ANTAGONIZE THE MOVEMENT, but were compelled to close at seven by the power of public opinion are now the most stead- fast adherents of the movement for thelr own protection as well as for that of the clerks. The ‘association, he said,is now practically allied with the Knights of Labor. Application to join bas been made, and the charter will be issded in a fow days. Ho claimed that the advantages to be derived from a connection with the Kulghts of Labor are apparent. As Individuals they gould do nothing. Clerks are all wage workers. Because they wear their store clothes every day and the faboring men their overalls, makes no material difference between them. tis not intended in any way to antagon! ployers, but to protect them as well as the em: A MERCHANT TALKS, Mr. 8. Beeber, of East Washington, arose to make a few remarks, “Are you a clerk?” asked the chairman. “No, sir,” was the reply, “I am a clothing merchant, but I am heartily in favor of the earl closing movement, and S willing todo all in my power elp it”? ud applause. Mr, Beober then explained that he attensied tho meeting for the purpose of jearning how it was intended to Sompet merchants to close their stores at a certain hour. He intended closing himself and to advise his clerks to join the as- sociation, but if there Were not some means de- vised for inducing his rivals to close he would. have to eventually keep open in selt defense, He had seen clothing houses on 7th street only a few nights ago open until 10 o'clock. He sug: gested sending committees to all the business houses, ‘Tue chairman stated, in reply, thatevery first class clothing house on 7th street closes at 7 o'clock, Two or three small stores that closed atthat hour at first now keep open later, be- cause of the spring trade. He was confident that tor every fifty cents made alter 7 o'clock, $5 is lost before that hour. ‘There is no boycot- ting in it, but the public sympathize with the clerks and naturally patronize the houses favoz- ing the movement in preierence to those that oppose it. A mun can’t be compelled to close. He can keep open as lute as he choses, At no distant day, however, the organization will be 80 completé and powerful tuat there will be recognized regular hours tor shopping. Mr. J.P. D. ryies, an east ‘Washington grocer, said he had been closing at 7 o'clock since the Ast of April, The majority ot his neighbors closed at first, bat now they nearly all keep open, -He wanted to know if there was any hope of # remedy. Mr. G. W. Spier ‘then took the floor and ex- pluined in detail the reasons for allying the association with the Knights of Labor, and the advantages which he clalined would be secured therefrom, — THE TAX ON COMMERCIAL TRAV- ELERS, Why it Should be Abolished. To the Edltor of Tux Evexixe Star: Having looked in vain in your columns for some word of commendation or approval of the bill recently reported upon favorably by the House of Representatives, to abolish the license tax of $200 upon non-resident merenants wish- ing to do business here, we judge, that with your usual spirit of fairness and justice, you Will not refuse to publish a line in its favor. We blush, that in this, our free country, the eltizens of any portion of it should think proper to levy a tax upon the citizens of other por- Hons ior the privilege of doing business among them, and will not touch upon the question of the constitutionality of such laws further than to say that we believe in the neighboring city of lsultimore,a few years ago, a test cuse, car rled to court by a prominent eastern conimis- sion house, was decided in its favor, and tat since that lime the law has been prictically # dead letter in thatelty. We venture to state a single reason why such laws operate injuriously against Washington merchants, and to retute iuasingle reason the principal argument of those who most persistently encourage their maintainance. New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti more being the chief commercial cities of our country in the Hue of both imported and do- mestic fabrics we, in common with retail mer- chants of other portions of our country, natar- ally look to them for our Sur pliss of merchan- dise. The custom now largely obtains among then for each house to send its representative or traveler with samples to call upon the best retail houses in its liue of goodsin all large cities, In sending their representatives to our elty they find themselves contronted with the law, requiring them either to take outa license, ‘at a cost of $200, or, as is usually the case, 16 sell through a commission agent, who has pur- chased a license, ata charge of 144 to 24 per cent on the amount of actual sales mude; or, to Rat itin another and cleurer light, it costs the jew York merchants who send their travelers here 14% to 2% per cent more to sell us than It does to sell merchants in all northern cities, and to that extent makes us undesirable cus” ‘Now, one Word as to the prinespal y jow, one word as to the argument used to sustain the license tax, Itissaldthatit the license law is repeaied, then anyone and everyone can come here with » small pack ora stock, and since they have no license to ae mo expenses, can undersell our mer- Lt ‘How undersell them, pray? Must they notalso have a store in which to do business, and thus become also lisble to taxation? No. “They will avold taxation by going trom house to house, from department to department, or, in the other case, will bring 4 few tive goods, and take a room at a fashionable hotel ior a week, and willsell a single shirt, a single palr orshoes, ora single dress at a leés, price than our best merchatits can afford 10 sell goods uf the same quality, So's argued. If this be true, then, “pity "tis, itis rac.” Woll wo say, let the struggle begin: the sooner begun the sooner ended. We believe in the “greatest ot the greatest number,” and if the majority of our citizens can, in tt manner, be supplied with merchandise at lower ices, of of b otter value, or can bo beter served, y all'means let the Commissioners urge Con gress to give them the opportunity.

FOR EIGHT HOURS. ‘Tue Workingman’s Side of an Inter. esting Question. SPEECHES BEFORE THE FEDERATION OF LABOR MR. BOWEN ANSWERS STATEMENTS BY THE MASTER BUILDERS—ADDEESSES BY MESSRS. EMMONS, FOGG AND OYSTER. The addresses made at the open meeting of the Federation of Labor Tuesday night dealt especially with the questions involved by the eight hour rale, which the building trades pro- pose toenforce inthis city Monday, May 34, ‘The principal address of the evening was made by Mr. Paul T. Bowen, who analysed the short hour problem, Labor, he said, was essential to existence; capital to civilization. Yet, as labor is performed in the United States, it tends rather toshorten existence, and capital is so employed that it is rapidly bringing about & destruction of civilization. There were a mil- on of men in this country out ot employment to-day, not for lack of capiial or of raw material, but because the capital we have is misapplied, improperly owned or distributed. This million of men had to live and are tiga 3 upon @ por Uon of the earnings of the men at work. Every day they worked ten hours a portion of what they produced went to support this million of unemployed men, The peedy pronceet was that those who worked should work fewer hours, In other words, as they had toshare thelr wages they, proposed to shure thelr work too, with these fale men, ‘The workiagmen of this city had determined to apply this remedy here, ir, Bowen analyzed what he called the METHODS OF BUSINESS MEN who took advantage of the market and pat up Prices and rutes of interest regardless of those whose contracts would be affected. Such men had not the slightest consideration for any other men’s interests or contracts, He con- trasted with this the methods which, he said, the business men had followed, giving long and fale notice of thelr Intention ws work only eixht hours after May 1st, They did not walt until builders had made contracts on old figures. If they had secretly resolved upon this move- ment, and not announced their intentions until Monday morning, May 3d, they would have had what they asked before sundown of that day, because the contractors would have to em- ploy them or be ruined. Thecontractors, in- ‘stead of meeting their talr notice with equal fairness, bad let months go by, and then had all of’ a sudden organizéd and de- clared that they would resist the movement. The ‘lesson the contractors had taught the workingmen was that the; must not give notice of such movements until the ay, when it was eps yendadeereanins it. Notwithstanding this action of the contractors, Mr. Bowen said, he was confident of the suc- cess of the movement. The workingmen were strong enough to be fair and still get what they asked. He did not see why tbe contractor should stand between the workingmen and the investor in this contest. If there was any in- crease in the cost of building the contractor did not have to pay, but the man who built the house. Whether labor was high or low the con- tractor got his commission all the same, He thought the reason of this stand by the contractor was that he had already made a large number of contracts on the eiglit-hour basis,and having secured himself, now proposed, by crowding men back to the ten-hoar day, to double his own profits, -In answer to the statement by boss builders that the movement would induce a large number of mechanics from other places to come to this city, Mr. Bowen said that if these contractors believed that, they would be in favor of the movement, for it would be in their interest. If tbese men did come they would have to have houses to live in, and some one would bave to build the houses. They need. have no fear, however, of such an influx of people, for in ‘all other large cities where com- Petent building mechanics were assembled the same rule would be enforced, so there would be no special inducements for these mechanics to come here. The workingmen were told also tbat it this rule is entorced RENTS WOULD BE RAISED 20 per cent and real estate values would be increased, If it were certain rents would go up 20 per cent, every landlord in this city would tavor the movement and give money to ald it. He wished that he couid demonstrate to the Teal estate men that such a conscquence would tollow the elgbvhour day. He believed real estate owners would ask for six instead of eight hours. Money would be put into houses and the mechanics would have to be im; to meet the demand in the building trades. As to the statement that the movement would stop building, Mr. Bowen argued that there Was an abundance of capital seeking safe in- vestments: plenty of vacant lots, and that building materials were cheap. Allof these in- ducements to building investments existed, ‘They need have no fear that the eight-hour rulé would check building. It could not, unless capi- tal cut its own throat with suicidal intent. The president of the Master Builders’ association, in an interview with THe acpi! explained the situation when he said he had refused enough work to keep him busy the whole year. Why had he refused this work? If work was stopped it would be because these middle men have refused to perform their fanetion in society. If the contractors believed that such dire consequences as they describe will come to the workingmev, Why did they not let the movement go on and let the workingmen learn a lesson from experience. Ifthey ure beaten down by a combination of contractors, the workingmen will never be sat- isfied until they try the same thing again. Mr, Bowen argued that the business men of the city should, in their own interest, uphold this movement. It it was true, ascontraciors claim, that a house now costing $9,000 would cost $10,000 under the eight-hour rule, the business Ian would be benefited. Would it do the merchant any good to have the capitalist save bis thousand dollars? It was not a question of destruction of property, but of its DIFFUSION AND DISTRIBUTION through the channels of trade. The business men of Washington would certainly, in the end, reap benefit from the expenditure of this 1,000, In this fight he thought the business Le should be with them instead of being ainst them, as they generally are, He ex- Dinined ‘thei? ‘position, however, upon the round that mauy of them doing business upon Evrrowed capital were in the. power of tho banks, Iuvestors, however, need nottear any such increase in the cost of building, as had been figured out by the boss contractors, The 20 per cent that had gone to the middleman— the wages of superintendence, as political economists called it—an absolutely useless ex- nse, the mechunics could save to the investor. Rie workingman no longer uecded the middle man or contractor to organize them. They had organized themselves for protection, and now they were organized for éfiective work. They could dispense with the services of the middle- man, That meuntco-operation. The working- men ‘had not intended to bring about co-0) tion so soon; they were contented to wait for it in the future. But if these people saw fit to force it upon them, the w mn were ready. ‘Mr. Bowen argued that the workingmen had never yet obtained any beneft from the so- PUBLIC OPINION, ‘They had never done anything that public opinion, as voiced by the Metropolitan press, approved of, except to surrender. Until the ublic came to their aid with money and votes The public had ‘no. right to ask them to recede ‘oue step, When the public did justice and stopped wrong and oppression then the work- ingiuan should begin to yield to public opinion. ‘The public sympathize with the scab who takes the striker’s place, But has no sym; Stall ior the honest. workingman.

ITS ORIGIN, OBJECTS AND GROWTH—HALF A " MILLION MEMBERS, Mr: Powderly gave the following history of the Knights of Labor in closing his testimony betore the House labor investigation committee yesterday: “About elght months after the close of the war the garmeat cutters of Philadelphia organ- ized as the Garment Cutter society of Philadel- phia.2The intention was to pay tosick members & weekly allowance and to bury the dead. in fact, it was @ benevolent organization. They continued to hold meetings forfour years, At the end of that time, one night in October, 1869, they were discussing some measure, when « member said: ‘We have been coming here now four or five years: we have our constitution, Sur lawrs our Officers, and, 90 far as that ts con: cerned, thatis all right, If I am taken sick J Will receive a weekly allowance, and if I die I Will be cared for by our brothers, But the con- ditions surrounding mein the workshop have not grown better, but worse, It seems to me that an organisation that will go into the workshop and endeavor to effect “a reform there is what is needed, in addition to the association we now have.’ That line of argument was taken up and continued some weeks, Finally a motion was made that that society be disbanded, and it was disbanded, The founder of the Knighisof Labor wasa mem- berof it, He was Uriah S. Stephens, As the men were leaving the room that night he asked those present to remain and hear what he had tosay. Hesaid thatif they would form such an ussociation as had been Supeoanen. one that would endeavor to effect a reform in "the man- agement of workshops, mines and foundries, they would endeavor w rfect it. Six of the men remained, talked the matter over with him and agreed to meet again. ‘These seven men and two others met to perfect the organi- zationon Thanks vg * evening in 1869, and the nine men di e first crude form of a constitution and @ manual for the government Of the association of the Knights of Labor, No man was to know anything about it, It was to be secretin all its workings.
