A5--0ne Of the speakers at a recent meet
ing of the carpenters in New York, who
have struck for higher wages, expressed
regret that when the strike first COM
menced they had not each contributed
asmall sum of money to a common
fund, and started cooperative shop.
They would thus have saved their labor
during the time they had now been
lying idle, and would have established
a branch Of business in which they
could realize the entire profits of their
labor. [.saE III ~ -
The Portsmouth, Ohio, Republican,
in noticing the fact that new rolling
mills about to commence the manu-
facture Of Russian iron in that place,
says; The proprietors ofthe new rolling
mill are in possession of the true se-
cret, directly from the only manufacto-
ry where tits made in Russia. The se-
cret was sent to this country clandes-
timely, through the agency of a citizen
Of Youngstown, Ohio; and relative he
had in the iron works of Russia. It was
sent word at time, in long corres-
pondence. This, 1t will be at once per-
ceived, is a very important matter.
Russia has kept q close monopoly on
this superior iron, and has been able
by 1t to extort from us, as well as other
nations, a heavy revenue.
