THE FIELDS OF LABOR. 6 WIN TON PRESENTS A CAREFUL SURVEY OF THE SITUATION. RQ' -ent Significant Strike Failures- Mr. Powderly’s Influence and Atti tude The Labor Party in Politics. •Jm-respondence Washington Kiwniny Star. New York, Aug. 30.—The portentous changes which have been going on in the “labor movement” are not yet at au end, as we see from recent events. They bear upon it as an organized body, as a political agency and as a regulator of wages and conditions of labor. In all these respects it lias become evident that some deep ami wide-spread In fluences are at work. The number of strikes that have col lapsed since the beginning of the year is far greater than that of any other recent year. The Labor Commissioner for New York, in his last official report, shows that three quarters of the strikes of the previous year in this State were successful, but it is a fact that the statistics gathered by Brad street from January last to the present time, show' that over three fourths of all tlio strikes of the present year have conic to grief. In fact, out of 300,000 strikers so far this year, not more than 50,00(1 have gained any such advantage as to lie deserving of the name of success. \V<> have to go back many years to find anything that looks like a precedent in this dismal state of things. Among the twelve or fourteen large strikes of this year it is hard to mention any genuine success, other than the strike of the bricklayers of Chicago, who not only secured the eight-hour rule for their trade, but established a method of settling future disputes with their employers. And the bad luck continues up to "this day. The great strike in the cotton mills at Cohoes has just broken down simultaneously with the strike of t he leather workers at Newark. It has been among the unluckiest of years for strikers, whether they were coke makers and miners in Pennsylvania, shoemakers in Massachusetts or coal and freight handlers in New Jersey and New York. It is a common notion, which is prob ably correct, that this bad luck is largely attributable to the new practice of combination for resistance by employers. The shoe manufacturers of Massachusetts combined against their wage-workers; the coke and coal corporations of Pennsylvania did the same thing ; so did the leather man ufacturers of Newark, and a similar prac tice has been adopted in scores of other cases, as every reader of tlio newspapers is aware. The combination of the Chicago Master Builders failed in the stand they took, and the combination of the stove manufacturers cannot boast of having scored a victory; but these are merely ex ceptional to the rule. The weight of the combined capital in any given industry has almost always proved too heavy for the labor and its service. LABOR'S losses during the year. The influence of these facts upon labor or ganizations during the present year have been calamitous. The largest or all great organizations—the Knights of Labor—have, within a year, lost much more than half its membership. In New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Connecti cut the falling off has reached very nearly two-thirds, and in some of the Western States the ratio is fully as high. These state ments are based either upon official figures published by district assemblies or upon the votes cast at the recent elec tions for delegates to the General Assembly. The total membership that will he there represented is likely to fall short of .'>oo,ooo, and though even this is proof that the Knights are yet a large body, it is any thing but a fulfillment of the promises of last year, when Mr. Powderly boasted of twice the strength, und when the flood-tide had to bo checked by the famous “halt.” But far more serious than this alarming (io dine are the bickerings by which the organ ization. has been demoralized in many ? darters, not only in such cities as Chicago, hiladelphia, Boston, and New York, but in lesser places like Hartford, Newark, De troit, Brockton, Denver, etc., as well as outlying “locals” here and there. The ranks are being weakened and under mined by internal dissension upon matters of policy, upon the new constitution, upon the trades assembly question, upon the ac tion of the executive board, which is but feeble, dictatorial, upon the pay of officials, upon the management of strikes, upon the heavy taxes at all times, and the slight dis bursements in special cases, upon the hand ling of the funds, upon the numerous failures to sustain the brethren in their battles upon the machinations of the “Home club,” and upon sundry peculiar notions often obtruded by Mr. Powderly. Then the organization is further weakened just now by the hostile attitude toward the most powerful trade unions, including the Brotherhood of Carpenters, tho Cigarmuk ers’ International Union, Amalgamated As sociation of Steel and Iron Workers, and the bodies in the rival Federation of Labor. The recent election of national delegates in half a dozen of the chief cities of the coun try have shown the effects of these dissen sions and bickerings, so much so that there is r prospect of the overthrow of the Gen eral Board, the new constitution, and the legislation of last year at the convention which wifi be held in a few weeks hence. the most astounding sign of the changes in progress has just been given by the defection of the notorious Dis trict Assembly No. 48, of New York, from its allegiance to the Powderly administra tration. This district, the membership of which has fallen off one-half since the last convention, and which for years has been Mr. Powderly’s main support, has elected opposition delegates, dethroned the “Home Club,” and struck for changes that imply a reversal of the jiolicy now predominant at headquarters. It is not easy for those who are outside of the organization to compre hend the full moaning of the revolt thus carried to success in the district referred to, but it will be seen at the convention in October next. It is possible that Powderly may be able to hold on yet another year to the office which gives him a salary ten times greater than is received by a majority of the members of Ihe Knights of I*bor, hut even this has lately become doubtful. His reliance is upon the fact that there is no oilier really popular candidate in the field. It is yet in the power of this remarkable organization of the Knights of 1 Abor to recover the strength which it lost, and to put a stop to the bickerings and dissensions by which it has lately been distracted; but these ends can be gained only by a larger statesmanship than is now displayed by its managers. The “labor organs” of tho country have been among the sufferers by the changes in the labor field. At the beginning of last year there were over 200 of them in the United (States; at the present time their number is loss than a hundred, and at least, one-half of these are on the verge of extinc tion. LABOR POLITICS. By far the most striking sign of the changes of the times in the labor field is qf the political cast. In labor politics, all is now confusion, at least in this Ktate of New York. At this time a year ago, the “forces" of labor were rallying tor political action ri n their own account as they never rallied before, and the rreult in New York, Chicago. Milwaukee, and other places surprised the country at the November elections. Knights of I,abor. Green backer* Trade Unionists, Anti-Monopolists, Grangers, 1-and Reformers, Socialist* and whatrnot. joined hands until, if we add the voters of last spring to those of last Novemlier, a couple of hundred thousand of them reached the l>allot box. The preparations for this unprecedented display of cohesion had been going on for several years and had received a powerful Influence from th* gi gantic stride* of labor organization in I"H.‘> and 1886. The exultation of the new party o'er the large vote that it polled was tin bounded, and the prediction* of the en thusiasts for the elections of this fall, and •Whyte national campaign of noit year. were also unbounded. The politicians of j the old parties were alarmed, the trim- | mers began to cast their eves to- j ward tho “anxious seat,’’ but since i the beginning of the year the changes in labor politics, especially in the State of New York, lave been rapid, distracting and ominous. There is war in the camp, a war of factions as bitter as ever was waged. We have three labor [larties in this State. We have two sets of candi with other sets yet to be heard from. The Union I,abor party, the George land party and the Socialist party are now at each other's throats. The enraged belliger ents are indulging in mutual defiance and in denunciation that goes as far a- “pirates,” “(Tanks,” “boodlers ” and soon. The George party, qt its Si mouse convention, shut its doors against the union laborers, east out the Socialist laborers, and tolerated only such united latx rers as sworn by the theory of land taxation. Ail these three parties, which had but lately marched in one procession, along with many other elements, are in hostile army, as though they had never “drunk out of the same canteen.” And so the whole situ ation, as regards labor polities, has changed from what it was last, fall. The Wrangling has extended from district to district in tho city; it has broken out in the labor organi zations; it has extended to the Cent ral I,h bor Union, in which the new )>arty had its birth a short year ago; it has plaved havoc with the unity in labor politics which looked so formidable last fall; it must inevitably split the labor vote m a way which prevents any predictions based upon the result of last November’s elections; it will surely drive back with the old camp thousands of voters who broke loose a year ago, but who are disgusted with the present uproar; and it is, in every way, a bad business for “labor IKilitics.” It is complicated, too, with in tolerant personal rivalries, with the “re ligious firebrand’,’of ex-Father McGlynn, with the frenzied exhibitions of the anti- Poverty Society, and with schemes which bear a mercenary stamp upon their face. The three factions are, without doubt, irre concilable as long as they stand upon their antagonistic platforms which cannot, by any possibility', be harmonized, and are not easily changed. The George party cannot give up their single-tax theory, which the Union labor party cannot accept,; the So cialist labor party, driven to the wall by both the others, hoists its own colors to the t une of no surrender. And thus it is that labor politics stand in New York to-day, in view of the election which will fake place two months hence, and which will influence the Presidential campaign of 1888. TRADING WITH OLD PARTIES. The worst feature of the whole case is that charges of “trading” with the old party leaders, and of a bargain and sale, are flung against each other by the three factions. Facts came to light in the early part of this year, in evidence of the accusation that cer tain “managers” of Mr. George's last cam paign, who are yet in the business of man agement, trafficked for votes with both Re publican and Democratic candidates, and it is certain that their opportunities now are far greater than they were then. The Union Labor party is infested with blacklegs of the same breecC as every roan acquainted with our local politics knows; and of the three factions, the Socialists alone, who are mainly Germans, are free from the stigma of trading or dickering. The fact is that disappointed mercenaries of the old party are always on the lookout for such prey as is offered in third parties, and especially in the Labor party, and more especially after such experiences as those of last November, when the Labor party became an object of interest to all politicians. The greatest danger for labor politics is that of being wrecked by such mercenaries. This brief survey of the labor field, as seen from New York, in the light of this year’s strikes, and the decline in the princi pal labor organizations and the wrangling of leaders,' and the splits in labor politics contain several lessons of warning to those concerned. John Swtnton. LONDON POLICEMEN. Their Duties,Bkill and Compensation— The Prevention of Crime. In a force of 14,000 or 15,000 men, says a London letter to the Philadelphia Press, there are naturally a good many-scamps. Some accept bribes no doubt, from women of the town, others drink from publicans, and yet others cold meat and kisses from pretty cooks: but as a rule the London policemen seem to me—and I have walked the streets of tho metropolis for nearly four months—a very creditable lot of fellow's who try to fill a difficult position with as little frietion as possible. The idea pervad ing the metropolitan jioliee force, and it is a good one, is that it is better to prevent crime than to run up the columns of arrests. Over-offieiousness on the part of the police is not tolerated. The police in London dare not use the club and knock people about with the fredom prevailing in some of the large American cities. In the last ten years 80,600 persons, de scribed as prostitutes, were apprehended in London. This shows how extensively the police deal with this class, and it is perhaps surprising that more mLtake* are not made. Then conies the army of drunkards, 25,000 strong, and some years 35,000. They have to lie run into the station house at night and run out the next morning by their friends. Curiously enough, there are in London about as many licensed houses for the sale of intoxicating drinks as there are police men, namely, 14,230. It does not always fol low that the arrest* for drunkenness are highest where public house* are most numer ous. The division of Whitechapel heads the gloomy list, and boasts nearly 2500 annual arrests for drunkenness, and that of Holborn follows. Yet Holborn has 1177 licenses and Whitechapel 705. On the other hand, the aristocratic division of Ken sington has no less than 1252 licenses and less than 1500 arrests. It may be that Bill Sykes of Whitechapel is more noisy in his cups than Lord Bnitfenrake of Kensington, or it may be that Bill is “run in" at a stage when “tiiy lord” is helped home. This may bo the explanation. The fact, however, remains that with nearly double the number of licenses Kensington has 1000 less arrests for drunkenness per annum than White chapel. And now a word about the pay of the London police force. The actual pay of the liolico comes to a little over 65,1X10,000 a year. There are five chief constables, with salaries commencing at $3,000 and rising $125 a year to $4,000. There are twenty eight superintendents with salaries and al lowances varying from #1,550 to #2,375 a year; then come 1130 inspector*, whose pay varies from #440 to $1,755. There is only one at the highest rate, but twenty-eight have over #I,OOO a year each, arid 582 have between SSOO and #I.OOO a year. The sergeant* number 1,102, eight, of whom have mere than *750 a year: 212 have more than #SOO, and all the rest from $445 to #405 a year. Of the 11 plain constables, the highest pay received by 00 of them is #417, and the lowest given to 3,010 is (313. There are allowances for coal; the inspect ors, sergeant* Hnd constable* are supplied with clothing, and the police employed on special duty receive allowance* varying from 50c. to #5 a week, the greater portion of which i* paid by those who employ t hem. There are a’so 20 inspectors, 103 sergeant* and 1,000 constables attached to the reserve force who receive a weekly allowance of #l, 75c. and 35c. respectively. Thus, on any emergency, an additional 1,200 men can lie called intOA the field. The total cost of the metropolitan police for last year was yaaaiflan Merchants, Read Thin.

An American Piano Lies a( Ocean's 'Bottom for Weeks, and is To-Day a Good Piano. Some eight years ago a vessel having on board an Upright Piano for us wa* wrecked and sunk to the bottom. Weeks after she was raked. The caste containing the piano was full of water, nl the piano itself was a sight to behold. Everything about it and in it was flooded, soaked, rusted and discolored. Not a key would sound or a hammer would work. We never expected to realize $5 for it as it did not seem possible that a piano could survive such a soaking.
