NOTES OF TOILING MASSES. Elow They Will Pass To-Morrow, Legalized Labor Day. BENEFITS OF THE STRIKE, Why Postmaster Gallagher Thinks Letter Oarriers Should Be Per- mitted to Ride Free On Stroet Cnrs, Notes of Workers, To-morrow will be Labor Day in Omaha ind if it is not emmentiy a success it will not ;q the fault of the unions, as the members of theso organizations aud of the Knights of Labor also have been working early and lato making arrangements for the celebration and everything is now in good shape. The unions have not received the ald from some of the. employers that they expected, for instance, the lumbering men refused to give them lumber for a platform and other little cuts svere given them, but despito these thoy have their platforms and everything clse thoy need. The parade to-morrow morning will ‘bo well worth seeing. It is expected that mearly ten thousand men will be in line, the different unions carrying unique and appro- riate banners. After the parade, ex-Senator t’m Wyck will address the union men. The members of the woman's assembly of the ix: of L, the ladies of the Wypogruphical and Cigarmakers’ unions and the six girls who walked out of Gibson, Richardson & Miller's printing establish- ment, will grace the occasion. ‘Ihe pro- gramme will be found in Tue Ber's fair an- Bbouncements for the v:cuk. The unions desird that the public shall understand that there shall positively be no Yiquor sold upon the grounds. ey The Typographical union wil! be repre- sonted by two hundred men. All the mght men and the “'subs” will be able vo appear ia line. ¥ The carpenters of the city haye accom- plished, in @ quiet way, somothing thoy might ' have failed to obtain by strik- ing, During tho early . summer many contractors, @ large majority in fact, rofused to allow the men nine hours’ pay on Baturdays for eight hours’ work, and in cases where men made extra timo ' thoy re- Sused to allow the men but the regular price. B0 cents an hour, instead of 45 cents, as the union rules call for. A sirike was contemp- 1ated by some of the men, but tho less im- tuous ones argucd that the unions wero Bt prosent too weak to accomplish the de- mired end by striking, and this argument finally prevailsd. The men didn't strike, but when o union carpenter undertook to sum up the number of bosses Who were not now oying the union scale, lust Thursday night, Jor the benofit of a reporter, he was himselt ‘surpriscd to find_them in a most decided m nority. Greater harmony has never pr vailed among the carpenters than now. . 5 What is truo of the carpenters is also true ot the bricklayers. They are now being uni- versally paid the union scale and are at peace ‘with themselves and the world at large. The protest of the Typographical union to the Merchunts' week committee against al- Jowing Gibson, Miller & Richardson, the non-union printers, to_represent the Omaha. printing trade, has received no attention whatever, and it is now doubtful if the union n the parade of trades unions on e A little ill-feeling has cropped out between the letter carricrs and some of the other labor organizations over the discussion whether the carriers should be carried free by the street car companies or mot. It scems that the first protest against the freo transportation of letter car- riers by the street railway companies, were ‘made by union laboring men, who held that they were as much entitled to ride free as the carriers. In conversation witha reporter, Friday, Postmaster Gallagher said, *This is & wrong 1dea on the part of the union men. The Jetter carriers are certainly and directly servants of the public, and their work is for the accommodation of the citizens of Omaha, and for nothing clse. The city has given the streot railway companies franchises that will ‘be worth, in twenty-five y y ,000,000, They owe this to the city and the citizens of Omaha, whom they have discommoded by this last order of theirs, They say that the delivery of mail is not' a matter of public concern. It isn’t, eh? Suppose that, on ac- count of this order, 1 should cut down two deliyery routes to ‘one delivery a day, from the how! that would immediately go up, you would think a mutter of public concern.” In amy opinion the carriers are certainly entitled to ride.,” . e The colored barbers 'of the oity are now organized into a_protective union. They have a memoership of thirty. They embrace bosses and journoymen alike, and whilo the chief object of the union will be mutual pro- tection, the erganization will also embrace a number of social features, ‘The officers glected for the ensuing yearare G. K. frank- Yin, president; Richard Gamble, vice presi- dent; H. R. Hillon, secretary; J. . Harden, trensurer. The union has avplied to the national union for a charter, and expects to have no difficulty whatever ' in obtaining it. All the local unions have held forth the hand of fellowship to them and will aid them all that tney can in perseccuting the organization. At u meeting of the union _Friday night, it was unanimously adopted that the mombers should appear in the parade Monday. The clothing salesnien at the Nebraska clothing house, and probably 1n some others, 8150, will worls as usual this morning. The clerks wade an attempt this week 10 get all clotuing firms to close their business houses Sundays, and all cousented except the Ne braska clothing company, and the members of this firm refusod upon the ground thav their Sunday business was too large to per- mit of their closing. Since this firm has re- fused to close others that had agreed to do 80 have backed out, and the clerks will nearly all b in the same position they were before. The clerks protest bitterly against this. They oy that thoy are compelled to work from %:80 1 the mormng until 8:30 at night, and on Saturday nights to 10 o'clock, and then #gain Sundays until noon, . It has been publishéd that the labor unions would boycott the Boyd opera houso because the managoment had employed non-union musiciaus. A prominent member of the Jeading musical union of the city was asked esterday if there was any teath in this, and 0 said that thero was not, and that the re- Xt started from the fact that a union man ad been fived from there. By paying more mwoney, he said, the management, hud been able 1 obtain belter musicians, ufd this thay had 4 perfect right to do. All ‘talk of & boy- ©oLt, he saia, was rank nonsense, orid i e BREVIIIES, Revonue collections yesterday, $11,- 515,07, Miss Rachaol Franko will sing at 10 o'clock mass to-day at St. John's colle- giate church, On uext Thursday evening a grand Pall will be given at Goodrich hall by Goodrich lodge, No. 144, for the benefit ©f the hall, All members of local assembly 720, K, of L., are requested to be at Grand Army hall at 9 a m., Monday.

About twenty of the men re- geived honorable” discharges, but eighteen of them received *‘bobtails,” for nou-attendance. The armsand uni- forms were returned to the state. Poundmaster Cory attempted to corral eightoen head of cattle out near VVest Bide, Friday night, but was prevented from doing so by the owners, who as- sembled with clubs and stones. Several complaiots had been filed by residents of that neighborhood, stating that the ' cattlo were allowed to run at large all Right and destroyed property. THE OMAHA DRUMMERS' DAY. It Will Be One of the Greatest Feat- ures of the Big Parade, The traveling men held an adjourned meet- ing Inst night at the Arcade and perfected as far a8 possible the preliminary arrangements for their grand parade on Drummers’ day. Nearly one hundred knights of tho grip were present, among them men who have been on the road many years, and they all manifestad groat enthusiasm and expressed determination to make the event Wednesday next one that will attriict the attention it do- serves. Prosident G. O. Lobeck on calling the meeting to order stated that Messrs. Stou! Brown and other members of he executive committee Tiad been very active and reported good results. They found the collection of money rather slow, but the parade and fair grounds visit will be better this year than last. “Arrangements,” continuea Mr. Lobeck, “haye been made for every traveling man to be furnished with a ticket of admission for himself and lady to the fair grounds, at board of trade hall, Wednesday morning.” Hoin- sisted that overy man who expects to take part in the parade shall be on hand at 9 o'clocik. Treasurer M. W. Rierson read a report showing that the committee has enrolled 523 names and collected $3%, Out of the num- ber subscribing, 256 have paid. The president declared that it would be i':upnmublu 1o got through with less than 500, At the sugeestion of Mr. Hall every ons who 80 desired was authorized to invite any friend or acquaintance to join the processidn, and the Omaha drummers are to bear all the oxpenses. 1t was announced that Beatrice will send up a delegation of eighty, accom- panied by every man, womau and child in that town. These boys, however, sent word that they could not adopt silkk hats, but that makes no difference; the Omaha and Council Bluffs men waived this point and wired them to come without silkk hats. A committee of twenty will meet them at the devot and escort them to headquarters, Messrs. Myers uad Har- vey were appointed to take the matter in charge and select their escort. Mr. Baily submitted a good report from Lincoln, The committee also look for a guod attendance from Norfolk. Arrangements huve been made for a spe- cial train to the fair gcrounds, which will leave the Webster street depot at 1 o'clock on Wednesday. The committee on hats, badges and streamers reported progress, and will have their part of the business well at- tended to. The Japanese parasols and fans will be here Monday aud roady for distribution Wednesday morning. Joe Garneau has promisod two bands, and W. S, Helphry, the committee on fair ground refr ments, writes from David City that he will be here to attend to his part of the business. Dur- ing the session, Marshal Clarkson and_some of his aides appeared on the scene and cre- ated quite 8 stir by announcing that in the order of parade they would, unless the trav- eling men objected, put them at tho head of the trades display 'in the second division. The traveling men_did _object, whereupon it was decided that they should be in the first division and next to the military, which will have the right of the procession. After announcing that all drummers, whother visiting or otherwise, are invited to join in the parade, the meeting adjourned. Messrs, Meyers and Harvey then announced as their delegation to meet the Beatrice train, the following gentlemen: W.'F. Bodley, C. 5. Maley, L. L. Rappell, John Maloney, T. B. Coe, C." P. Rogan, H.

THE BENSO. The Point at lssue Between the Var- ious street Railway Companies. Erastus Benson, Dr. Mercer, Captain Rustin and Mr. Geodrich, representing re- spectively the Benson street railway, the motor line and the Omaha street railway, appeared vefore the board of public works yesterday afternoon. ‘There wero lively times in the board rooms for a short time. At the meeting of the board on Friday afternoon permission was granted the motor people to lay ana operate a double track on Mercer avenue from Thirty-sixth street to Lowe avenue, 'The street railway company presented their claims to the right of way on this block by virtue of their right of way to Thirty-sixth street on Cuming The bourd then rescinded its action grant- ing Dr. Mercer the permit, and the matter was idered again. It was shown that the Mayne & Mercer company had been grauted u franchise on the block in question, and Dr. Mercer claimed tbe privileze of operating under that franchise. The matter was finally settled by giving the motor com- pany the permit, Friday's meeti ‘The main poiut at issue between the motor and street railway compunies, however, is the possession of what 18 known as the Ben- son line, which extends from a point on Lowe avenue a few blocks north of Cuming strect, north and northwest to Benson’s ad- dition. 1t developed in the argument which took place, that negotiations had been com- pleted una a contract made botween Mr. Beuson and the motor company whereby the motor compauy were to use the Benson track and run not less vhan one train per hour ava 5 cent fare. This will make a line of three and one-third miles from Cuming street to Benson, ‘Lo comply with this con- tract necessitated the securing of a permit by the motor company to lay tracks from i\h'rcur avenue to connect with the Beuson ine. Both the motor and the strect railway poople applied for permits on Lowe avenue north of Cuming. The street railway people were granted a permit to lay tracks from Farnam to Cuming on Lowe avenue, and the question of a permit north of Cuming was laid over until next Saturday at 10 a. m. Mr, Benson stated that he had been nego- tiating with the street railway company to run out to Benson over his line, but they were 80 dilatory in coming to a decision that he had closed the deal with Dr. Mercer, Tho citizens in the northwestern part of the city, along the Benson line, huve rased a bonus and offered a parcel of land to the company which gave them transportation facilities, and the street raiiway people are anxious to securo the plum, During the discussion over the question of & pormit to lay tracks on Lowe avenue north of Cuming, Mr, Kierstead stated that he had consulted & number of people in Walnut Hill and most of them were in favor of & straight line, and he said a line straight down Lowe avenue, and then east on Farnam street, was better than @ line full of curves ana turns, at which the trains must come to almost a complete standstill, and gutters and bridges which made it more or less unsafe, Dr. Mercer entered a strong objection against Mr, Kierstead devrcciating his property, and said it wuas out of place to make such allusious, Social Sons of 8t, George. Last evening the members of Shakespeare lodge No. 217, of the order of St. George, Rgave the tirst of their series of sociables for the ensuing season.

THEY KNOW THEIR SHEPHERD And Faithfully Follow Him in His Holy Way. SARATOGA CONGREGATIONALISM Others Who are Intcrested in the State Sunday School Associas tion ana Others Still of the Y. M. C, A, Saratoga Con gregatiqnal Church. Like most of its sister churches, the Sara- toga Congregational church had its origin in Sunday school work. For several years, a union Sabbath school had been held at the Saratoga school house. At one of its regu- lar sessions, a vote was taken favoring the transfer of its work to the Congregational denomination and establishing a church. Accordingly, on the 24th of January, 1856, Rev. S. Pelton, then pastor of the third Con- gregational church of Omaha, organized the Saratoga Congregational shurch,with twelve members. Rev. Mr. Pelton had charge of the work until the following fall, whea, upon his leav- ing tho city, his field was given to tho Rev. Penniman, Who continued the work until the spring of 1857, At this timea call was ex- tended by the church to Rey. John A. Mil- ligan, During Mr. Milligan's pastorate it was found necessary to use all of the school building for school purposes, o the church was obliged to provide another place of wor- ship. 'Active measures were taken and an $1,100 lot on Ames avenue, jusy west of Saunders streot, was bought. On it & neat little chapel, worth about §500, was erccted. During this year there was o in membership. In June 1558 Mr. Milligan accepted a call to the Central Puark church, and Rev. F. S, Forbes, Oberlin, O., was installed pastor at Saratoga, During the year o was in charge the church and Sabbath school grew rapidly, the membership increasing from thirteen 1o thirty. In June of the present year the people were grieved to learn that their popular pas- tor, Mr. Forbes, had accepted a call from tho First Congregational church, of Ne- braska City, Sinco that time the leadership of the church has fallento Rev. H. N. Suider, a lato graduate of the Oberlin Theological seminary, ase in Sunday School Association, President E. A. Stovens, of the State Sun- day School assoclation, was in the city last week. His errand was primarily to secure the aid of the state officers of the Y. M. C, A, in opening a local_branch at Grand Isiand, his home, . Mr. Stevens seemed very hopeful of the future of the Sunday School association, ‘Pue last convention was held in Hastings on the second Sunday 1n June, At that time it was plaioly apparent that a great deal of hard work and an infusion of new material was all that could save the fifteen-year-old association from premaure dissolution, Mr. ns was elected president, Mr. W, A, berger secretary, and M orrill state nizer. A subscription paper was circu- lated and about §1,500 guaranteed for the worls of the year right there in the conven- tion. By some mischance the secretary of the convention lost not only the minutes of the convention, but also this subscription list. When the newly clected state secretary and Organizer Merrill learned of this they were ready to give upin despair. For a certainty, nothing could be done witaout mol\\!g, and what scomed thewr ouly prop, that subsorip- tion list, had fallen from under them. *'Wait & minue, boys,” said the president. “We've started in to make this thing go and we've got to do it, if I have to go down in my own pooket and pay the expenses, ' But fortune ever favors the brave, and this Was not neccssary, Anather List of the sub- soribers was secured, wnd wost of the money was promptly paid in. Neithor place nor dute of the next conven- tion huve been decided, but meantime the seorotary is very enargetically working to el every county iu the state (0 wake a re- port on Lhat occasion. On Bunday precedin g the convention el Sunday 00l pupil aud teachier i the state will be askod to give ten ceats for the maintenance wud furthering of the association’s work. ' At no time during fifteen years past has tho State Sunday School association had an outlook so encour- agiug. Y. M. C. A. Notes. A meeting will be called very shortly to organize a Y. M, C.
