Parker for Vice President Of the United
States, by the Labor Reform Party, meets our
fullest appreciation, and we pledge to them the
undivided support Of all true Labor Eeformers
in this State
Resolved, That Greeley and Brown merit
the condemnation OF all honest and Just men,
Tor seeking their nomination at the Cincinnati
Convention a. against Davis and Parker, after
having contested the nomination with them
at the ColIml Us Convention. AS true men
and honest reforners, they should have Sc
cured the nomination Of Davis snd Parker at
the Cincinnati Convention, and thus united.
instead OF dividing. the labUrirg men Of every
political shade and party
Resolved, That We earnestly protest against
any action 81 the National Executive Com

BUFFALO and Medina, NJ ", recently
demanded the prices Of the L. u. schedule
Of course their demand was refused, but
the men judged their labor to be worth all
they asked for it, and they in turn refused
to work for less hitch was the result
But instead Of whimpering around the
shops, the men remained at home, or
sought work elsewhere, and III a week or
two the employers found out that they
could pay the price demanded, and now
peace reigns, plenty and comfort abound in
Western New York-sO much for union.
The Buffalo boys requested US to set up
our biggest rooster" but we have but one
in the office, and he has had 50 much crow
ing to do lately that hoarseness has claim
ed him as its own. We will have to pro-
cure few more if the boys continue to
fight as brAvely and well as they have lately.
THE nine hour movement in Canada bids
fair to be entirely successful. This is
cheering news, but still more cheering is
the news that the eight hour movement has
met with glorious success in New York
city and Brooklyn. 1t has extended TO
nearly all the trades in these cities, and in
no case has there been recorded failure
And from present indications we feel con
fident in saying that ere another year,
eight hours will be the rule in all the mills,
factories and workshops of the country,
except cooper-Shops. The contemplation Of
this subject is to US a source of mingled
pleasure and pain. We are rejoiced to
think that the trades generally are pro-
crossing so rapidly, and panied when we
remember the trouble and difficulty that
atCcHu tHo lnIrOuuCtlOu vi even the ter
hour system among certain portion Of the
coopers Of America. That this portion is
an insigni6cantly small portion il is true,
and in that thought there is joy We
know that the treat body Of our members
are even now ripe for the eight hour sys-
tenn; but that there are some who cannot
be induced or coaxed into the adoption OF
ten hours as q days work is sad, sad,
truly sad spectacle. Nearly every union
that has disbanded since the incubation Of
the International Union, claimed that the
ten hour law did it. No matter how often
you wash hog, it will tumble into the first
mud hole it meets this is rather rough, We
admit, but great God to think that we are
10 far behind all other mechanics. Horses
and mules are not worked more than ten
hours per day. We candle men, think of it.

Increased Safety in Working Coal.

We find the following interesting paper
on Increased Safety in Working Coal, .
as having been read by Mr.. Samuel Firth
at a meeting of the Mining Engineers, in
the London Colliery Guardian. The
writer thus proceeds 30 compare the t'Bord
and Pillar" system and the Longwall
proper, viz:
In bord and pillar there is liability to &C
cidents from the following causes:
l. Deranged ventilation, owing TO its
being split up in . great many parts,
traversing long distances and turning many
courses.
2. That when stall men do all branches
OF the work themselves, viz.-hoGng, blow
ing down, filling and propping, there is apt
to be carelessness-especially being paid, as
they think, only for coal sent out. They
are proved often to run many risks rather
than spend little extra time to make all
safe as they go along.
3. That there is difficulty in exercising
proper supervision over the men and work
ings, isolated as they are in different parts
Of the mine.
4. That when pillars of coal are left,
they prevent a thorough subsistence of the
roof, and cause breaks or hoIlows to be left
in the goaves, and these often become full
Of gas, which may at any time burst out.
Moreover, there is difficulty in ventilating
the goaves.
5. That when small coal, mixed with
pyrites, is left in the partially open
goaves, there is danger from spontaneous
combustion.
6. The use Of gunpowder is almost uni
vcrsal to bring down the coal.
In Longwall there is less liability to
accident, an compared with ''Bord and Pill
lar, on the following grounds:
1. The same amount of ventilation is
more effective, and safer from its greater
simplicity.
Q. 1t presents a much better opportunity
for iudicious division Of labor. This can
be done by having relays Of men to do the
holing, packing, filing, and, where neces-
sary, blowing down; thus each relay having
its distinct branch Of labor, there il not the
liability Of any part Of the work being care
lessly performed.
3. That, a. the workings a. well a. the
men are more concentrated, q better SUPER
vision can be exercised.
4. That, by general subsistence Of the
roof, the go&ves become closed up, al
lowing no reservoirs for gas. Moreover,
the goaves can be ventilated as required
8. That where there in known danger
from spontaneous combustion, it can be Oh
waited BY driving to the boundary and
working home.
o. The use OF gunpowder 10 not universal

must be poor, indeed. Suppose for exam
pie, that some of our legislatures would en-
act law authorizing Board of Commits
sioners to open factory or factories, and
offer for sale their products for less than
their market value What hue and cry
would be raised by the press and manufac-
turing employers throughout the length
and breadth of the land /; yet what else is
the present system Of labor in our peni-
tentiaries than manufacturing establish
ments sustained by the State.
We think it is high time that this ques-
ron was regarded in its true light by our
Law makers. Surely our industrial CLASSES
form the most useful portion Of the popu-
lation, and are entitled to some considera-
alton at their hands. For years their APP
peals have been treated with indifference,
while special legislation for corporations
and monopolies have been the order of the
day. Although the present article is longer
than we intended, We shall again refer to
the subject in more extended manner.
The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1872-06-15

to bring down the coal In LonewalI. how
ever, the miner is more liable 10 accident
from falls Of coal and roof than in - Bord
and Pillar" work; for the coal, being un-
supported by pillars, has greater tendency
to part from the roof; and the depth Of I'm
dercutting being, in some cases, Eve or SIX
feet, the miner is often entirely under the
coal, and liable at any moment t. be in
jured by the falling mass. This great
depth Of holing, however, sometimes en-
ables the coal to part from the roof with
out having recourse to blasting, but gives q
great width Of roof to be supported, and is
apt to bring the latter down with the coal
or separately. Owing, however, to tie
great height of manual holing at the face Of
the coal, its arched form and irregular
depth. the coal does not always part from
the roof by its own weight, so that the use
Of gunpowder is found to be more or less
requisite.
We thus see that, however advantageous
in other respect, there is still danger in
"Longwall" from
I. Falls of coal.
2. Falls Of roof
3. The use Of gunpOwder, more or less
and it Is from these three sources 81
danger that the greatest number Of acci
dents arise.
Now, l beg to suggest that by working
Longwall by coal cutting machinery,
the above dangers are almost entirely Oh
waited.
l. The workman is removed from danger
by falls Of coal.
2. A less depth Of underwriting being
necessary to bring down the coal by me
chanical means than BY hand labor, there il
less width Of roof to support, hence less
risk of it being brought down with the Goa
or separately, and the working face being
straighter, the roof can be supported with
greater regularity.
8. The use Of gunpOwder Is unnecessary
for the coal being less cut away at the face
and the back of the groove being straight
along-with other reasons which viii be
at once apparent, but too numerous t.
give in detail-the parting Of the Goa
from the roof, by its own weight, can bt
assured.
In concluding, Mr.. Firth says the com
binations have named enable us to US,
the forces Of nature so that they assist oul
operations instead Of impeding them, anC
by these means it is possible for miners t.
work and raise coal without the operation
being perpetual fight for life.-ISaacGrd

IT il a somewhat curious fact, from which
the mechanics Of America should derive
wisdom, that the opposition to the inaugu-
ration of the Eight-Hour system comes
mainly from the wealthiest corporations ;
from monoPolies which have enriched them
selves by a species of robbery under our So
called patent laws, which have enabled them
to charge fabul Gus price for their produc-
tiOns. The action of the Singer Sewing
Machine Company, a poverty stricken crew,
who make from $50 to $40 on every ma
chine they sell-one-half Of whom have
enriched themselves on other mems ideas
and necessities, furnishes striking exam
pie Of the truth Of our assertion. There
isn't n widow or friendless Seamstress
throughout the length and breadth of the
Land who hasn't paid tribute to their heart
lessness. The idea of making 81 less on
each machine is more than these fungi on
society can tolerate. The Steinway Piano
Company furnish another example. What
if they do clear $50 on $3.50 instrument 7
Thai is no reason why they should reduce
the hours Of labor to eight hours per day;
none Whatever. By and by these work

are continually occurring, which always re-
quire portion of the striking fund and the
