From the Crispins' Monthly Journal
THE bosses Of Utica are coming to Lynn
and other places to hire shoemakers to
beat the CIispins who have held on for
their rights So nobiy Crispins Of the East,
keep away from Utica
INSCinclnnati the bosses have withdrawn
their list Of prices, consequently there viii
be no strike there.
No further news Of Importance from
Utica, and what there is seems favorable
to the cause Of Crispinisn. We hope the
brothers there will be little more prompt
and keep us better posted.

THE MINER.

GENER'- MOVES, in his message to the
Ohio Legislature, in reference to the bill
passed at the last session, for the protec-
ton of Miners, says
"A law was enacted at your last session in
tended for the protection Of the Miners,
which, among other things, provides that
there shall be two openings for each mne
whenever 80, 900 yards Of coal shall have been
cut 1t is thought that experience has dem
onstrated the necessity Of two openings long
before the excavation of 10000 yards And
even if the law should remain az it now is, in
all other respects, it would be well to provide
for authorized official inspection otherw Use
the law will be. for the most part imperative
An intelligent, practical Miner very truthfully
says Underground operations are far re-
moved from the reach Of public vigilance and
investigation. Subteranean dangers are per
petually recurring, and arc various, requiring
frequent inspection by well informed practi
cal and scientific men. Every mining nation
on the globe has found il necessary, in the lie
velopment Of subterranean treasures To pro
vide for official supervision in the interest Of
the underground people.

The partial strike of Thursday Of the

Resolved, That eight hours OF daily labor is
sufficient for transActing the business Of the

of manual labor, and that women and children
should not be employed in our manufacturing

ever excellent this platform was a. that of
a mere political party, It left untouched the

civilized nations. There was nothing to

But our Government instead of encourag-
ing these beneticent creators Of the bless
ings that all enjoy, pass laws to enable a
privileged few to prey upon our industrious
operatives.
The Daily Post contained a very able ar
ticle the other day, showing how the Chi

factors. The Chinese merchants. traders,
and factors are quite as dangerous to the
welfare of that class of our population as
Chinese labOrers are destructive of the in

The Chinese merchant can undersell the
white man. and our s nall traders are be-
ginning to find it out, and when Front

are being undersold by Chinese importers,

will make our senators, representatives,
