Ross Carpenters and Builders of Kings County have
already received notice that and after April car
penters and joiners will demand s. so for eight hours
work
In the Spring Of 1872. after the workingmens organ
cations ia the building trade had secured from the en-
ploying masons and carpenters compliance with their
demands and had obviated the necessity OF strike the
entire strength OF the associations represented by the
Eight Hour League was concentrated upon the furni-
ture trade, and by expendng great deal 0f
money these organizations gained the c0Opera-
ton OF the Cabnet-makers' Union, the Desk
makers Union, the Upbolsterers' Union, the Show
case-makers' Union, and, at Last the Planomakers'
Unon All OF these Unions are connected with the
furniture trade and so strongl aud compact comb-
nation preciptated a general strike. Employers were
given no warning and hence were taken completely py
surprise On the morning OF May q, 1872, workmen
were employed usual but before night every estab
Hshment with three exceptions, had suspended
opepations In the evening the employing furniture
manufacturers and dealers assembled to take action on
the subject and after an interchange OF opinions resolved
TO adhere 10 the tenhour system and to resist any at
tempts TO ardge the hours Of labor BY the series OF
meetings subsequently held the employers were taught

SENATE bill No. l72, we perceive.
is the special order for the House
to-day. 1t is leveled against intern
perance, which is certainly d-serv
ing of receiving the attention of the
Legislature in some way. Wh-th-
er the adoption of this bill will ac-
complish all that its ;,.iherents say
it is fitted for performing, we are
not capable of Judging. But if it
gives - reasonable ground for hope,
that it will stay the tide of crime
aud violence in the State, two thirds
of which is directly ciIargeablr up
on the liquor traffic, and much of
the other third of which MY be
traced indirectly to the same origin,
we are certainly in favor of giving
it Il trial. Aud if this law is not
enough, let not the friends of hu-
mainly pause in their good work
until IL statute shall be framed and
adopted that will do it.-PiIot.
