The lock-out in the fifty-four tanneries and currying-shops of Peabody and Salem, Mass., was begun - last week, rendering over 3,000 men idle. • Eighty plantation negroes imported to Grape Creek, 111., to work in the coal mines, have been sent back South by the labor unions at Danville. Under a decision of the Vermilion County Court as to the coel company's leases, all the white strikers and their families have been evicted, and are improvising shanties and sod houses in the woods. T. Y. Powderly addressed the Eastern association of groen bottle-glass blowers

at Atlantic City, and they voted by 42 to 26 to join the Knights of Labor. The International laborers’ Union, at London, Ontario, completed the revision of its constitution, and adjourned to meet in St Louis in 1888. The American flint-glass workers closed their fourth annual session at Hamilton, Ontario. It was resolved not to jom the Knights of Labor.
