THE PATERSON STRIKE.

The strike OF the boiler makers in the Grant,
Rogers and Danforth locomotive shops, and the
Todd Rafferty, machine shop in Paterson, has re-
suited In state OF affairs calculated to do intense
injury to the city, Refusing to resume work at the
old prices, the boiler makers were notified that the
locomotive shops would be closed in all their
departments This was at first thought to
be threat, but the closing OF the doors
and the posting of notices to the eTCt that opera
tions in all three locomotive shops would be sus-
pended until further orders, notified the men that
their employers were in earnest, and that they had
combined in a counterstrike in opposition to the
demands of the men. Although only GOO boiler
makers struck the closing Of the shops throws
over three thousand men out of work, and is a
loss to the city In general OF $1,000 day,
which was The amount OF wages which these shops
paid out daily and which is thus kept from the
storekeepers and others with whom the men spent
their money. IL Is estimated that the families of
the three thousand men out Of work will aggregate
total of fifteen thousand persons who are thus
made the sufferers.
There is of course, great deal OF Indignation that
''the innocent should suffer with the guilty." and SO
many men be thrown out of work who had nothing
to do with the strike. But each department in the
locomotive business Is dependent upon another,
and the suspension of the boiler shop made it
sary to shut down the other departments in conse-
quencc.
The employers say that work will not be re-
sumed until the men decide to return to
work on the old basis, while the
stT1kerS declare tney Will uRnt III out
on this line fit takes all summer An increase OF
thirty cents day was offered by some OF the shops
on the start but that having been refused the offer
was withdrawn.
There is no probability OF the strike being ended
until after the Fourth. II Is only question Of how
long the men can hold out. There is likely TO be
good deal OF suffering, not only among the men
themselves, but in all classes Of business. for the
locomotive shops were fund Of trade for all Pater-
son.
The strikers deprecate all ideas Of violence,
whatever may happen, and say that unless their
demands are complied with soon they will leave
Paterson and look for work elsewhere II is, on
the whole, the most unfortunate thing that ever
occurred in that city, and hard times will be the
the difficulty,

American Naval Boat Race Tor the
Championship of the Waters Of the
East-PreviOus Performances and the
Present Match-The Arrangement and
start-A Strong Pull, Short Time and
Victory.
YOKOHAMA, May 10, 1872
On Friday of last week. the 10th, the great boat
race for the championship Of Eastern waters came
Off between the Coorado's barge, the Daring and
the Alaska's twelve -oared boat, built specially for
the crew in Kobbe last year and warranted to win.
The Daring's crew had signalized their arrival on
the station by defeating the Delaware's barge at
Singapore August 20, 1870. They afterwards beat
the Monocacys boat at Woosung In December OF
same year, and thus won the gamecock 'Tom"
and the championship OF Eastern waters, which
they held against all comers up to the time OF the
race last mentioned. They had once, 1t is true,
been defeated by the Alaskas boat at Cheroo, last
August but In a race which was understood to be
not for the championship, the Daring having left
out two oars and pulled twelve instead OF fourteen,
her regular complement In December last they
pulled race for the championship, and the Daring
won by a full length or more.
THE MATCH.
On the meeting OF the ships here in April the
Alaska's crew challenged The Daring to pull again.
As the Alaska was expected to sail for Shanghae on
the 1lth, the 10th was agreed on the day OF the
race, which was to be a straight stretch OF three
miles.
WEATHER AND BETTING.
SlrOnR breeze was blowing from tne north
ward. The course r0wed lay about southwest from
beyond the lightship, past the Colorado and Idaho.
AS the Daring had held her own so well in all pre-
vious races, and especially she had the heavy
amounts staked on the result OF TIVE race with this
same boat in December last, she was the general
favOrite up to the time OF starting. Many citizens
had come OFF to witness the race, and many more
who had been attending the races at the spring
meeting OF the Yokohama course watched the con-
test with eager interest from on shore. Betting
was two to one in favor OF the Daring, and her
approach was watched for with eager interest.
THE RACE AND VICTORY.
Az soon as they had passed the lightship 1t was
evident that the Aaskas boat was ahead by at least
several lengths. This advantage She held to the
end OF the race, winning by minute, her time
eng 3lm 23s., the Daring's sem. 23s
Regrets were then expressed that the Daring had
accepted the challenge to pull for the champion
ship, as her antagonist was not a regular-but
man -of-war's bOat but 1t was too late to cry
spilled milk. The challenge had been accepted and
the race lost and "Tom" had to be surrendered.
AS he went over the side on his way to his
hOme-thc Alaska-many were crowding around
and expressing their regrets at parting with him,
and jolly tar OF the Daring's crew said, in the
broadcast brogue, by way of consoling his rades
"Oh, niver mind; he Is only going on visit"

action in reference to the strike OF the journeymen
BARRIERS for reduction OF the hours of work. The
meeting was presided over by Mr.. Peter
Martin, Mr.. Schmall acting as secretary. 1t was
reported that the majority OF those present have

ton OF the men, reducing the hours Of work from
fifteen and sixteen to twelve hours delega-
ton of the journeymen BARRIERS appeared, who
were invited to witness the proceedings The modi-
fcations adopted had reference to the hours of
work on Saturdays and Sundays.
During the proceedings the discovery was made
that there were present several journeymen bar
bers pretending, as 1t was alleged, to be
employers, which resulted in slight dis
turbance, and considerable excitement was
occasioned by an attempt to eject them.
The affair created considerable i'll feeling among
the journeymen, who were congregated in large
numbers in the barr0om, and who claimed that
they were present solely for the purpose Of recon-
Cling matters; and they denied that their object
was to exert an undue influence on the meeting.
Among the men present was the Vice President OF
