ations early IN May last at No. ll9 Third aven-

Of the members, and bids fair TO be both a per-

dred members were collected by the pro-
prietors, ali tempereate, intelligent ana
skilful workmen, who each subscribed ten
dollars, making one thousand dollars towards
the capital stock. One hundred and fifty more
shares were taken by outsiders, which aggre-
gated a capital of q. $50 in all, A long second-
story loft was hired on q two years lease st one
thousand dollars year. Long platforms were
made for the workmen, and the necessary tools
were bought; and q number Of sewing
machines owned by members were lent for
general use. The outlay thus incurred was
fifteen hundred dollars.
Thirty ak men are now engaged in the shop /,
and stxty-four members take work 20 their
homes. All are employed on piece-work, and
earn an average Of $2a week. Fourteen
women are Also ~ work in the shop, but
these are hired. They earn from $40 10 sig
