FROM MICHIGAN.


DETROIT, Jan. 20, 1872.
To the Editor Of the woRKIxeMAS's ADVOCATE
1t is certainly amusing TO witness at the
present time the number Of new, or az
they represent themselves old friends Of
the Labor movement, self-sacrifcing pa
triots, who are boiling over just now with
desire to serve their country.
Since the passage Of the resolution by
Congress providing for q Labor Commission
of three persons, one only from the ranks
labor. we learn that the aspirants for the
Office are increasing wonderfully every day,
each anxious one urging his own peculiar
fitness for the position. These volatile ge-
muses. have suddenly become as-sprightly
and numerous as the frogs Of Goshen, and
at this time darken the prospects of Labor
Reform like the locusts Of Egypt, very
many Of them, if they were ever known to
be workers in the Labor movement, have
forfeited by their indifference toward the
cause they profess to love, all claims Of
recognition or support from those who have
faithfully stood by and defended its prin-
ciples through evil as well as good report.
But we believe that very few, if any, Of
these spasmodic and newly hedged reform
ers have any knowledge Of the important
duties that will uevolve upon the Commits
sioner appointed from the labor standpoint;
the statistical information that will be re-
auired will be immense, and to the reports
Of that commission all friends Of the cause
will anxiously look, expecting faithful
and true exhibit, and the person appointed
from the ranks Of labor will be expected to
give an account Of his stewardship, un-
biased by conventional artifice OF self-ag
grandizement.
Workingmen cannot over estimate the
benefits they would derivee from the estab-
lishment of permanent Labor Bureau at
Washington, and undoubtedly much viii
depend upon the report Of the present
commission. whether that much desired OBJ
ject can speedily be gained, or much longer
DELAYED, for we believe it is only question
Of time, but the sooner such department
is created the better for both labor and
capital But for sane person to harbor
the thought that every self-styled labor re-
former is qualified to fill so important a
position, is as paradoxieal as a-clownlsh
angel plk III AOCAAs Va wv
ster drinking nectar and eating ambrosia-
We hope and trust that some sound, true
and tried Union man will be appointed,
one who has borne the heat and burden Of
the day, whom power cannot break OF ia
vor bend, who has moral strength and trm-
ness Of character to resist all the efforts OF
capitalists and shrewd politicians that may
be brought forward, to prevent his making
true minority report, If circumstances
should render it necessary, but if the right
man is placed there-one who is qualified
by experience in matters pertaining to the
true relation existing between Capital and
Labor, then the creating, and faithful Re-
port from such commission will, we earn
estly believe, be lasting benefit to work
ingmen, and they will have the satisfaction
in knowing that their persistent efforts IN
the cause Of reform have not been in vain.

LABOR ITEMS.

A portion Of the shoemakers at Natick
Mass, have struck against a reduction Of
wages.
THE miners Of Hooking Valley, Ohio, are
on strike to resist a reduction Of one hall
cent per bushel
SEVEN thousand operatives are employ
ed in the mills at Lewiston and Auburn,
Me.
A very large boot and shoe factory was
lately established in Poughkeepsie, New
York, by one WhitehOuse who became very
rich through the cooperative system.
THE recent strike among the machinists
and blacksmiths along the N. Y. Central
Railroad against dock in time and wages
ended successfully for the men, after sharp
though brief struggle.
AT the boot and shoe manufactures of
Leeds, in the old country, the hours of la
Dor are SO for males, and "a for females.
THE painters Of Philadelphia have large
organization. Wages 800 per day, with
good prospects for spring trade The book
binders of the same city talk organization
THE Crispin lodge in Woburn still keeps
up in good shape. John Francis s. X, and
G. S. Richardson, c. S.
THE CooPERs' STRIKE.-At a special
meetingofthe N. Y. Workingmens Union, a
report was read that no change had taken
place in the aspect of the coopers' strike,
which still continues. The Secretary de-
clinea 6 admit to membership coopers who
have now gone to work in shops not recog-
nizing the rules of the Union.
Labor Reform Is at q premium in Omaha
once more.
