POOR MEN oE DETROIT, DEFEND
YOUR PUBLIC MARKET.

There are few projects in which the
workingmen and poorer classes of Detroit
have a deeper interest in defeating than
the proposed removal or rather abolition Of
the public market. 1t is needless to add
that the cry Of public improvement" is
mere blind one which, if they allow them
selves To be duped by, will reveal its
true character to their sorrow, when too
late TO provide d remedy. There isn't
father If family who works for an honest
living, there isn't widow depending on
her own energies to support herself and
little ones, who has not direct personal
interest u preveH'ins by al lawful means,

ers, and raise the necessaries of life from
twenty t. twenty-five per cent. Remove

the promises to erect others in its stead.

all quarters of the city, even though it may

The question lies in nut she'll and re-
quires no elaboration TO arrive al d conclu
sion. Whether do the workingmen prefer
to have beef at 8 and 10, or at 10 and ~
cents per pound for it is a fact which no
one can successfully dispute, that from the
very hour it is torn down, and that its pat
rons are compelled To make their purchases
elsewhere, they will be compelled to pay
at least twenty per cent more for butcher
meat, fish and poultry than they do at pres
ent. In the public market to-day rib
roasts can be bought at cents per pound

ing pieces at from to for prime corned
beef from . to 6 cents mutton from 4 to
10 cents choice fresh pork from to 9
cents, and shoulders at 8 cents per pound.
Let any one who questions our prediction
compare these prices with the prices charg-
ed at private markets and they will find
that our estimate is rather under than over
the mark, and this too, be it remembered,
even with the public market as Compel

THE ADVANTAGES OF AN AP-
PREMIERSHIP SYSTEM.

On another page will he found some
very sensible, and at this time, peculiarly
appropriate remarks on Strikes, and the
need If a thorough Apprenticeship Sys-
TEN, delivered by Mr. John Fehrenbatch,
President Of the Machinists and Black
smiths International Union, before the
last session of that body, in October, 1872
His advice on the question Of strikes, but
corroborates a statement we have made a
number OF times in the columns Of this jour
nal, hut which has been studiously lost
sight of by the enemies Of Trades Unions;
that every prominent official in the labor
organizations discouraged resort to them,
except where every other honorable method
to redress their grievances has failed.
But it is more particularly to his views
on the Apprenticeship System that we de-
sire to call especial attention. With
courage that does him credit, he explodes
the bubble about the superiority Of Amer
lean workmanship, and asserts that, which
can be established by incontestible evil
dence though perhaps not generally cred
Ited-thst ''few positions of responsibility,
requiring thorough mechanical knOwl-
edge, are filed by American mechanics !"
and Ascribes the existence of this state of
affairs to the true cause.-the lack of q
thorough and regular apprenticeship sys-
tenn He draws the line between a botch
and proficient workmen-between jack
of all trades and q master of one-snd
proves conclusively that until some steps
are taken to remedy the defects complained
of, our trades unions can not occupy the
position to which they aspire.
If employers would only loos at this
question in its proper light, we feel salts
fed they would give the proposition an
honest and earnest support. 1t is certainly
true that the members Of our trades unions
are not, in al cases, 6rst-clAaa, Akilled
workmsn, but it also true that Employer

have themselves generally to thank for this
state Of affairs. Let us illustrate our %
sition. A difficulty occurs In an establish
ment, where union men are smployed. A
lockout or strike ensues. Neitherperty
are wiling to yield. An Advertisement
for men is inserted. Honorable mechan-
ics refuse to take the bread out Of their
brothers mouths Botches don't. Under
ordinary circumstances their presence
would not be tolerated, but to gain point,
and that point the defeat Of the striking

job under the frequently too well founded
belief that the workmen can only
remain idle 50 long, and that these
tools will do very well to bring them to
terms Wen, 50 long al employers are
unscrulnulu,is enough to use them for this
purpose, So long will self representation COM
pei and Justify our organizations to open
the doors Of the unions to admit them, for
the purpose Of beating their oppressors
at their own game. The result
Is, that these men frequently be-
come permanently saddled ON our
unions, and as y matter of course, the
half-tiedged apprentice, who is all eyes and
ears, thinks he has just as good right to re
ceive journeyman's wages as that other
fellow" who don't know his business. and,
acting upon such belief, avails himself of
the first opportunity to pass himself of As
such, with the same result
Yet another and very important consid-
Grafton that should influence employers, is
the fact that in majority of instances it is
the botch rendered comparatively secure
by the panoply Of the union panoply too,
which he is indebted To the employer for
ploye is concerned, our trades union diff
culties. Proficient workmsn are generally
secure, yet a sense Of honor compels them
to act in good faith with men, Of whose
shortcomings they are well aware 50 that
the temporary advantage gained by the
employer in securing their services, is more
than counterbalanced by the evils which
they subsequently intict.
The above are only few random ideas
suggested by reading Mr.. Fehrenbatch's
address, but from every standpoint it is
self evident that the employers are equally
interested with the employees in raising the
standard of excellence among our work
men, and in no manner can this be more
etiectually accomplished than in both coop
Grating to secure the universal adoption Of a
thorough and efficient apprenticeship
system.
