Industrial News.

The Horse-shosrs Trade Union Of New York
city reports a membership OF over one hundred
AMI a reserve fund of $4,000, established by
contributions of from "a to $5 per week from
the men. This fund is used principally to pay
allowances to the horse-shoers when on strike.
Il is however, suggested that the weekly tax
imposed by the Union, If deposited in savings
bank would yield greater advantages TO the mt :
ch mic. Thus, a horse-shoer earning $24 week
and deposlting u IN the savings bank instead OF
contributing that sum to the Union. would, at
the end OF the year, have fund Of $208, with
interest, which no one but himself could have
control over, and which would be accessible at
8 lort notice. 1t is contended that under the
resent system the workman is deprived of at
least one-sixth of his income. and at the end of
the ,ar has derived no benefit from his con:ri-
buttons.
In speaking of ''cheap Chinese labor Wes-
tern exchange says:
1.-The people who fancied they saw the ad-
vent of the golden age Of manufactures when
the prospect opened OF obtaining an endless sup
ply of skifull, obsequous Chinese, at fifty cents
a day, in place of sturdy Irshmen and Germans,
tenacious for their rights and demanding from
81 to 81 80, should go to California, and study
the experience of manufacturers in that locali-
ty. The Chinese we were told were never going
to 'strike'-oh, no. they were too docile for that.
But what have they done instead They have
turned upon the manufacturers and beaten them
upon their OWL ground. In San Francisco, the
Chinese bosses have already absorbed the cigar
trade and now they are rapidly getting the shoe
trade into their hands. When the American
bosses attempted to make reduction in the
wages of Chinese laborers the latter resisted,
but in different way from the white artisan. They
started factories on their own account 8hd now
they are underselling the whites and rapidly abb
sorbing the trade. Four years ago there were
only twelve hundred white shoemakers in San
Francisco but now there are two thousand Chi
nese working in their own factories Manufac-
turers had better think twice before they med
die with these dangerous tools.

why Coal OIL lamps FxpIOde-It You Blow
Down, the Best Uil Is the Most Dangerous
correspondent at Port Penn, Dol, moved
thereto by the terrible accident in New Castle
Hundred, on Monday night, sends US the fol-
lowing suggestions in regard to the explosion Of
coal-oil lamps. He says:
when lamps arc tilled they cannot explode /;
but when partially filed, il not screwed tight.
the space inside the lamp over the oil is filled
with what is called fire damp" in coal mines,
viz. air and vapor of coal oil or it's gas.
1T is very remarkable that accidents with the
best coal oil do not more frequently occur espe-
cally when the fame is blown dOlon the chimney
in extinguishiug lamp which has been burning
all highland particularly il during the evening
it burned freely and created q vacuum or space
above the oil, which was heated and subseq uent-
ly cooled during tho night when the lamp was
turned down, and left to burn with a very small
flame. 1t is manifest that the hgher-priced oil
is more apt to explode under these circumstances
"The burner should be screwed dOwu perfect
ly tight, and wick should fill the tuhe; moreover
be trimmed epay day, and lowered hefore the
lamp is blown out. Anthracite coal stoves will
explode, or any other fuel, upon throwing sand
or dust on top OF fire when freely burning, so
that the gas or product of combustion be forced
into the asl-pit Every one il familiar with the
illustration In what are called ar-tight stoves, "
and no anxiety is necessary In using these or
coal oil lamps, il we recognize the cause of acci-
dent, and do not depend on false security in
these OF what are vnlgarly called nom explosive

The Postal Cards.

There seems to be some complaint in Phila-
delphia, about the postal cards. The Press
says
O. IN the Post Onics objections are made to
the new system. The clerks say the cards stick
together, and cannot be distributed as readily as
letters They also find vast number misdi-
rected already, and these must be kept for sixty
days, and then destroyed. Packages of them
already begin to c,owd the cases, and it is fear
for their reception. OF course they greatly in
crease the work OF all the employees In the Post
Office, and are specially Questionable on this
ground.
Among business men we hear OF complaints
also. They say that the new postal cards are q
disgrace to the department in appearance that
they are made of the very poorest material, bad
ly printed and designed, and will be very easily
connterfeited with fair profit and little chance
of detection
