American readers OF Charles Reade' O. rrent
story, "Put Yourself in His Place" are apt to
believe that his descriptions of the style OF war
fare Of some of the Trade Unions of England
upon the inventors Of labor-saving machinery
are overwrought, but some late transactions b.
show that keade has not over-paiEted his pie
ture. These brick makers, it seems, ha7Ing
signifed their sovereign pleasure that the use
of machinery should be abolished IN their bust
ness, and that no more worked stone" should
be brought into the city, they naturally foCud
themselves in conflict with the master builders.
The guiding spirit of the opposition was Mr..
johnson. who succeeded in Outflanking the
men, only to find himself placed in a state OF
seige. For twelve months he has not been abie
to sleep many nights together in one place: his
friends refrain from visiting him for fear OF
some disaster; his servants wish to leave Tor the
same reason; one attempt has been made to
blow mp his house, and another 10 burn his
woodward, his cOachman would rather leave
his service than drive him home at n. ghc, and
TO crown all, he is asked to pay twenty cents al
hour for each policeman required to protect
him. No wonder that Mr. johnson coInpains
that life is becoming almost unbearabIe" La
this country, where there is ample employment
for all, our mechanics rather welcome any in
ventOns that tendtO relieve them OF the coarSer
heavier part of their work.

The WORKING PEoPLR.-The strike OF the
''Blue Stone Cutters and Flaggers' Union Of
New York, numbering go members, has, after
a nine weeks struggle, resulted in the men OBJ
tanning - wages per day of nine hours. Two
"blue stone yards employing four men still
hold out. The brown stone cutters of New
York, numbering 200 have been on strike
since March 10th, and have obtained 81. 80 wages
per day OF eight hours. Beth strikes, 1t is as
serted, originated in an attempt OF the employ
ers to increase the hours OF daily labor aud to
diminish the pay. The cigar makers strike
show no prospect of speedy settlement.
The strikers have found work in the smaller
shops at prescribed prices, and have gone to
other cities. Contributions in aid of the strike
it is reported, are coming in freely from the
country unions. The shoemakers OF New York
are now earning S25 to e3j a week, working
eight hours day. On june 9th, a Convention
OF the international typographical Union will
be held in Cincinnati, Ohio. The German Cham
Der of Manufactures, at Leipsic, SaxOny, have
recently resolved to form trade societies at the
centres of Germany industry The object OF
these societies is to further the interests OF the
working men, by settling the differences be .
tween them and their employees by friendly con-
ference.

GERMAN EMIGRATION TO AMERICA AND
CHARACTER OF THE EMIGRAETs.-Accordn
to the Magdeburger Zeitung, the emigrsnts this
year are distinguished from those of former
years by the fact that tive-sixths of those who
have resolved TO seek a new home in America
are persons in the possession of capital. Be-
sides this, they are mostly people Of some knowl-
edge. Formerly the peasants and day labOrers
of POmerania, West Prussia and Posen formed
the principal part of the emigration. They
were, therefore, people almost utterly unac-
quainted with the state of matters in the Union
who went there and were exposed to numerous
dangers before they could settle. THIS year it
is more particularly the more intelligent Ia
horer and merchant who seems desirous of try
ing his fortune,
