A LABOR LEADER.
Hon. Richard F. 'i revel lick was in
tho city yesterday, and as ho is about
as prominent before the public as any
of the labor agitators and reformers
a Call reporter took a notion to corn
er him and have a talk. No objec
tion being encountoied from the gen
tleman the reporter raid he would
like to have a glimpse at his personal
history and at the history of the pres
ent labor movement. In answer the
following was obtained:
THE GREAT AGITATOR.
Richaul F. 1 revel lick was born
aboardofcip. His father was a seafur
ing man—a shipmaster under the
government of the United States. At
the ago of 13 Richard was apprenticed
to a South Brooklyn shipbuilder and
served five years. In 1851 he again
boarded a vessel and at tho breaking
out of the war he was commanding
a United States mail steamer in the
Gulf of Mexico. The boat was seized
by tho State of Louisiana and Mr.
Trevellick came north and was placed
in command of adespatch 1 oat where
he remained until wounded. As
soon as he was suibciontly recovered
he returned to work at his trade and
was appointed to tho management of
a shipyard in South Brooklyn. Ho
remained there but a year, however,
and the next place wo find him is at
Detroit working away at his trade.
