The DeldW0redn is so thoroughly angry

LABOR NOTES.

The recent strike Of the laundrcsses Of Troy
has resulted uniavorably for the girls who have
resumed work at the old wages. The Cooperative
Laundry is in prosperous condition, about 80
hands being constantly employed.
Anna and Julia Cleary, who have set type
for the Troy Times for the past fifteen years, re-
ceivug tue same pay as male compositions, have
laid down the stick and gone into private life
with snug little sum laid up from their earn
ngs.
A large number Of planters in South Carolina
have entered into contract with an immigration
agent for several hundred Chinese laborers the
first ship load being expected to arrive about the
first Ol January next. One successful rice plan
ter has contracted for 800, and others for ten
twenty, fifty, Sc. No payment Is To be made
until the Chinese arrive and commence work on
the plantations.
The most powerful trades organization in
New York arc the Knights of ST. Crispin-men
working at the shoe business. The first lodge
was the Il Team" shocmakers, organized TX
months ago. Since then the organization has
spread rapid, five lodges being now in existence
numbering several thousand members. One
lodge is Of Germans and one OF Frenchmcn. The
members are bound by oath to adhere to the
rules, and not divulge the secrets The strength
Of this Union may be inferred from the fact thai
ut the time the first lodge was instituted the
shoemakcrs wore earning low wages, and work
ing long hours, while to-day they are receiving
good BAY and working not more than 10 hours.
