He had loft the watch in his vest pocket, hanging that garment by the kiln, so the men could see what time it was instead of bothering him by asking. About o'clock when he went to get his vest the watch was gone, though the chain was left still attached to the wvest. He at once reported his loss to the police, and a search was made among the second hand dealers, resulting in the discovery that two boys had at one place traded the silver watch for a smaller one. The watch was then recovered, and the two boys were tracad up and proved to be Oscar Sprink and Alfred E, Brooks, both aged about thirteen years. They ad- mitted taking the watch, though each tried to make out that the other one was the moat to blame, Judge Aylesworth caused them to be locked up in jail last night with the understanding that to-day he will start them on the road for the reform echool. Both boys are known to the police as rather hard cases, and youngSprink especially, who has even at his tender age committed on one occasion for- gery, as well as larceny. Heo seemoed to care littlo about the watch scrape until he began to realize that he had now got to go where ho would have to work for a living, and keep straight, when he mellowed a little, The other boy was completely broken up at the prospect, and wept bitterly. AT A S REVIEWING A REVIEWER. A Enight of Labor Charges and Routs The Nonparell Man. Counciu BLurrs, July 25, 1882, To the Editor of Tin Brx. I have, through the intervention of a friend, had my attention called to a leading article in The Nonpareil of the 22d, reviewing an article in the cur- rent number of The North American Review from the pen of F. W, Pow- derly, of Pennsylvania, and while in the main the effusion is cloudy and uncertain, still some of the inuendoes contained therein are 8o near o assor- tion ns to mislead a casual observer; therefore I ask a little space in which to other focts. After attempting to damn The Re- view article with faint praise, The Nonpareil says that “‘as he under standa the case tho Kuights of Labor are responsible for the present strike in Pittsburg with its attendant evils enumerated; therofore in the exercise of a despotic and irresponsible power the officers of the Knights of Labor have commanded a strike,” eto., etc. The writer might, if he desired, have told the exact truth in this mat- ter, for it is well known and is this, that the Amalgamated Iron and Steel workers ordered this strike and are conducting it and are solely rosponsi- ble for all matters connected with it, while on the other hand the Knights of Labor have not had any more con- state sume historical and nection with the matter than the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pfitl.ino any other organization to which individual strikers belong in their individual capacity, and further, the Knights of Labor are not disposed to favor strikes, believing them to be suicidal, and are to-day using every en- deavor tosubstitute arbitrationinatead. By way of makeshift he asserts that the writer of the article doos not com- prehend the situation. Well, there are several hundred thousand men in the United States interested in this matter, and they think that T. V, Powderly 18 8o far in advance of The Nonpareil man in his knowledge of political economy as to be out of reach of inteligent criticism at his hands, and they may find fresh reason for that opinion in the fact that ut the close of his article ho unconsciously of course, embodies the plan of co-oper- ative industry which Mr. Powderly sets forth in the article he is oriticis- ing. He eays Mr. Powderly draws an absolute distinction between cap- ital and labor, while in reality the ar- ticle referred to states explicitly, ‘‘Some men say the interests of cap ital and labor are identical; but 1t is evident that a majority of those most interested do not think so, or olse these opinions would not pre- vail.” What is regarded as a war be- tween capital and labor is but a lack of confidence in each other, and he goes on to say that oach is depondant on the other and that capital has its origin and creation from labor, and shows later on that labor itself is 8o far capital as to be able to exist with what itself can supply and the converee cannot be stated of capital. And here let the teaching of the Knights of Labor vxplain what the meaning of the urm‘ capital and labor are, Labor is anythivg that produces, either inde- pently or in combination, Enterprise, management, executive and admin- istrative functions are each in their exerciee labor, and the combiuation of these with the bodily exertion of bone and muscle whether united in the same person or the sympathetic organization of aggregated forces con- stituted labor,and fibar, working upon the matertal resources created by (iod, produces. Usury has come into the consideration of the question, how- ever, and re) nts the undivided surplus of the productions which b mismanagement have fallen to -tend’r ily increasing proportion of the side of enterprise, and there being used as 80 much additional power have 80 moulded legislation and public opinion as to make the case of the laborer truly pitiable. The Knights of Labcr secks by education of the individual to give bim self-respect and a knowledge of his relations to the body politic i or- der that the proceeds of his labor may be so regulated that his share ma) bear sowmething like a just proportion to the value of its production. The wages system has been found, by the practice of centuries, to be bad, and THE DA]I{Y BEE--COUN believed to ba a better way of arran, ing thoso affairs properly concerning both, The Knights of Labor throaten no one and antagonize no one who is legitimately e1guged in any usefal oc- capation, etcaer of hand or brain; but the men who have devoted their leisure to management and planning have loat mght of the true state ot affairs, and have in their views given undue importance to capital, and are striving, in many instances, to absorb all the proceeds of labor, and by that very action divorced, for the time, the two interests, ““What God hath joined together let no man put asunder.” The Nonpareil now says that co- operative enterprises have been tried over and over again in this country and in Eaogland without success, but the fact that the history of this mat- ter of co-operation contradiots his statement by furnishing notable ex- amples of successful co-operation de- stroyes the effect of his s*atement We will notice two cases, the first of the Rochdale Pioneers, of whose suc- cessful operdtion The Nonparcil man has no right to be ignorant, opened business December 21, 1844, with a paid up capital of 140, and a stock in store of §83, and in that year did a businessot 83,660 ata proficof 8110, and at the end of twelve years we tind them having a capital of $55,160, a business of 224,150, aud profits amounting to $6,716 in the year, In the year 1857 having two years before engaged in cotton mannfucturing they put up from its proceeds n new miil at a coat of 220,000, and in 1859 an- other, making the capital mvested in the two mills nearly a half miilion dollars, In 1802 a sinking fund was orented from the surpluy profits of the store to start a laxd and building so- ciety and the first investment was a purchuse of land on which over thirty cottages wore erected for the oceupation of the members and _with- in five years over one hundred cot- tages weve thus erected and ocoupied, and in addition to this large sumns are annually ret apart for reading rooms, schools of technology, and science and literary purpores. The second case wo will notice is that of tho Manchester Wholesale so- ciety, commencing business in 1862 with » capital slightly less than $5,000 furnished by abous fifty retail stores and an aggregate momberahip of less than 20,000 consumers, They con fined their operations at first to a few staple articles of groceries, and the salea of the first year amounted to §442,000, In four years the capital had increasod to $31,000, its member- ship to over to $3,250,000. It has since thai time eatablished eight branch forwarding depots, iucluding one of note in New York, a separute department for the boot and shoe trade, u separate branch of the sociely, « bisoutt works of extraordinary dimensons, another boot and ehoe manufactory employing over goven hundred hands, 1t has a s-eamship of five hundred tons carry- ing British produce to France and bringing French products via Rowen for the consump- tion of HEughsh co-operative stores. It has nearly 870,000 invested in six- teen different enterprises of a kindred character. When the socicty started it did not own a plot of land, now its treehold land and buildings in Man- chester, London, New Castle and other places reaches the value of at co-operation between enterprise, as rvfiruented by the ewployer, and the other fastor, muascle, as represented by the laborer, for a careful distribu- | 4 tion of what the combined labor of both has produced on a just basis, is least one million dollars. It has a banking department with an annual turn over of $15,000,000, and other enterprises beside, It has now 400,000 members, $2,- 500,000 capital, over 600 retail stores purchasing through it and an annual trade of over $16,000,000, It has sold sinoe commencing $120,000,000 worth of goods at a profit of about $1,600,- 000, and what is of consequence to the workingmi n of America to know, |2 has found employment for overa thou- sand of its own members, This much for successful co-opera- tion, and the success of the wholesale having been accompanied by the cor- responding success of numerous re- tail stores dependent thereon, we think The Nonpariel mun's hasty statement sufliciently answered. On tho other hand the fact that 80me co-operative cnterprises have fuiled through mismanagement proves nothing, for if it did, the fact that here in America the finances of the people aud the government were o mismanaged that 10,478 business men were in one year thrown upon the street penniless at a loss to the coun- try of §234,383,132, involving 693, 420 traders, thus catching one busi. ness man out of every sixty-four, would demonstrate the complete fail- ure of our financial institutions, But the fact that The Nenpareil man makes an a sertion has long since ceased to mean anything more than that he is in an uncertain way guess- ing at facts and causes and conjectur- ing results, Beforo The Nonpareil wun attempts again to reviow T. O. Powderly he should brush up his per- ceplive faculties so as to be able to understand the article he reviows and when he attacks the Kuights of Lal he must remember that they number in_their rauks to-day some of the ablest Americans alive, Vory truly and fraternally, A Kxniaur or Lasor B SUPERIOR JUDGMENT, The Cases Disposed of by Judge Aylesworth Yesterday. There was not a very rich harvest for newsgatherers in the superior court yesterday. Oue solitary drunk, a Nebraska farmer named Charles Harrison, was brought up. He pleaded guilty, and explained that he had started from home with noarly $00, expectiug to buy a suit of clothes in Omaha, but had only got so far as a new hag, when he met a friend, and took a recess long enough to get o drink. How many times ho repeated the dose he could not remember, bat he came over to this side to see his friend off on a train, and woke up this wmorning to find himself in the cooler, with less than 10 to his credit, and a fine of $7.00 to offetit. He was obliged to beg a ride home again, and his clothes had gone down his throat, The case of L, Kaule was called, he being charged with selling anti-amend.- ment drinks at the Drover's hotel in violation of the prohibitory license or- inance. The caso was continued until next Tuesday.
