The strike in which the ship-joiners have
for some time been engaged has at last led
to counter-movement on the part of their
late employers. The latter have given pub
lie notice that they win hereafter employ
no man who has participated in the strike
unless he shall first sever his connection
with the Ship Joiner's Union, and renounce
his afhliation with that organization. The
situation of affairs between the EMPLOYERS
and the workmcn, in this branch Of trade. is
therefore precisely like that which existed
IN England year ago, in the iron trade Of
Stafordshire. The strike Of the workmen
has been followed by a "lock- out'' on tie
side of the employers. Both parties have
clearly defined their positions, and the only
question now is which combination in likely
to prove successful.
The tone Of the address issued by the mas
ter ship builders implies determination on
their part not Only to persist in refusing -
cession TO the demands Of their late Cd era
tives, but also to break up the organization
which binds the latter together. Viii the
master builders be able 70 obtain other
hands to do their work and, If not able
to do 90, can they a. we'll afford to be idle
as the practical joinsrs? Time will furnish
the solution. But there il feature Of this
ease which gives IL . much wider Interest
than the mere disagreement between the em-
ployers and the worknen In this particular
branch Of trade. The strike In question il

The people have been told over and over
again to procure eisinfectants, but they are
uniformed as to the best articles for diSin-
fecting purposes they should procure.
The following may be relied upon as
good, being recommended by an acknOw-
lodged authority in sanitary matters.
For disinfecting clothing in the wash, get
alkaline permdng0ndteS, and mix one ounce
with ten gallons Of water. This is an ez-
pensive but powerful disinfectant.
The most permanent and yalvable anti
septic to be used about filthy places is car
bonic acid, and coal tar compounds.
Common coal TAR from gas works, pos
sesses all the disinfecting properties neces-
sary when used as paint for cellars, vaults,
etc.
Sulphate Of iron, or copperas, is the
cheapest and most effective disinfectant to
u.s. for privies, drains and foul floors. 1t
is especially powerful as a disenfectant
where cholera has been present. Three
pounds, in gallon Of water, should be
used as freely as may be necessary. 1t
should be used daily in cases which are to
be kept disinfected.
Chloride Of lime is an antiseptic that acts
diffusively and rapidly, though less perman-
emily thaq some others: 1t il active in des-
troying compound gases.
Darby's Prophylactic Fluid is highly re-
commended a. powerful and easily used
disinfectant for water closets, etc.
The reader may select from this list for
any exigency which may arise, or for pre-
ventatiye measures.

men to enforce the eight hour system Of la
bar. The ship-joiners MAKE no complaint
against the rate of wages which thes receive
ed, but they insist on making eight hours a
days work instead of ten, at the same time
being unwilling TO accept any reduction in
the amount Of daily pay. The strike, there
fore, is test upon the eight hour question,
and other trade organisations will be able
to judge, by the resalt Of this movement,
something Of the general prospects of the
OF the eight hour system.-N. Y. Sun.

intelligent workmen do not take this subject
up and take the management Of their savings
and labor into their own hands. Here we
find the workmen Of New York and Brooklyn
paying out to rich mems banks the sum Of
nearly fifty millions Of dollars, and yet the
ship joiners and caulkers' associations find
their opportunities crippled and limited for
want Of paltry loan of few thousand
dollars, They would have no difficulty in
obtaining 1t tn Paris under guarantees that
have never failed to prove effective. 1t is a
fact that speaks well for the honor Of the
workingmen of France, England and Ger
many, that all the loans obtained by them
from each other have been punetually re-
paid. In Germany the loss on operations
amounting to uI ards Of thirty millions cf
dollars, amounted to only one hundred and
fifty dollars In series Of several years.
No bank or institution can show an equally
safe business.
II only requires few earnest, honest men
to start this movement In New York. No
people In the world enjoy half the facilities
that We do for enterprises of this kind. IL
only dozen or more workmen would en-
bark in any practical enterprise, on the
French plan, they would be certain to snc-
coed. Lrt twenty men agree to pay q Ger
tain amount-of their savings as capital to
twenty other men whose labor shall be
pledged as security for re- payment, and the
result will be advantageous to all concerned.
The true path of labor reform lies in this
direction.-Every other object is only i'm
portant as il may tend to elevate the social
and mental position of workmen, and quail
" them for CO. operative industry. All the
great enterprises of the age are conducted
on the cooperative principle.-Our rail
roads, banks, steamships, canals, and other
undertakings, are secured BY means OF a
combination of capital. The joint CO. opera
tion Of labor and capital is alone wanting TO
achieve the highest good of humanity, and
IL is not possible in the natuae of things,
that American workmen will long hesitate
to avail themselves Of the advantages opened
to them by cooperative capital and labor
associations.--N T.; Trades Union.

Mr.. IRA STEWARD:
DEAR SIR have to use another hand in
replying to your circular, because my own
is suffering from fall.
For very many years the reduction Of the
hours in days labor has been a favorite
idea with me. believe that, as general
proposition, no man should work more than
six hours day, and that every man should
work so long. Hence, would like to have
six hours made ths Legal days work. It
might, IL is true, be generations before the
practice would correspond with the law
For generations laborcrs might frequently
bring third or q half more than legal
days work into single day, that ia, or
0 hours Of work. But in the law for six
hours there would be the true principle, the
true standard; and practice would be con-
tinually approximating it. The objection
TO the eight hour plan is that it is not per-
manent one, and does not hold up the true
principle, the true standard. But eight
hours are far better than ten--and therefore
shall rejoice in your success. Enclosed il
my DRAFT for $40 toward defrayiDg the ex-
pense Of the agitation.
Respectfully yours, GEAkr SxlTH.
