Decay in Trades UniOnism in New York


There has been a great falling off in
the number and power of the unions.
For example, in 1873, these associations
returned q total membership of A $50
men this year they only report 35,-
765 members, falling off which cannot
be attributed to any decrease in the
number of wOrkingmen in the city. In
deed, to go into particulars, 1t is found
that one or two associations have drop
ped out of existence, and not few
trades, which are notoriously flourish
ing, report q greatly diminished mem
bership in their societies. A careful
aud paiDstakiug examination Of the
whole subject gives as q result the large
number OF 46, $40 workmen outside Of
trades unions, more than 1900 above
the total number returned as belonging
to trade societies in 1873.
The reason for the apparent decay Of
trade organization is not far to seek.
They rapidly grew strong and sggres-
sive. They assumed to dictate terms
that were often prepo0terous and-even
TO the minds of the membeFs-uniust
and arrogant. The leaders, especially
when their society was large, grew self-
important and consequential they die
tated terms to employees and employers,
and earned a very comfortable living at
the expense of hard working men who
went to work at the bidding of these
new masters. Bad Leadership has had
more to do with the decay of trades
unions than all other causes combined.

short time. By pouring water which
has been cooled in the vessels nearly TO
the freezing point over the ice after il
had been packed, at suitable intervals,
when the temperature of the air Is be
low the freezing point, a compact mass
of ice may be formed Of more value for
use than a much larger quantity loosely
packed. Even in winters favorable to
the production Of ice, the sbJve method
may be found the most convenient and
cheaper for filing Zoe houses.

Preparation for a German students
Duel.

Next to the skin they wore a coarse
white linen shirt, and a thick pad under
the right arm to guard the brachial arte-
ries. On the right arm was placed a
thick leather glove and a silk sleeve,
then sleeve of quilted canvas about
an inch thick, an elbow-pad Of leather
bound on with straps, and a canvas
bandage over all. So thick we're these
bandages that it was impossible to let
the arm hang by the side. A tightly
twisted silk handkerchief extended from
the little finger along the outside of the
wrist to guard it. A large thick leather
apron, slit in the middle SO as to be
fastened to each leg with straps, COW
cred the lower part of the chest aud
extended below the knees. To prevent
an accidental wound In the eye a pair of
iron eye-gOggles were strapped on, fur
nished with glasses for those who were
short sighted. A padded neck guard
completed the dress. Thus swathed
and bandaged up, the appearance of the
cOmbRtants was rather comical as, with
their huge bandaged arms supported by
friends, hey walked with a slight swag-
ger around the room, waiting till the
umpire had taken his seat. The sec
Onds were provided with arm guards
and feather-pecked caps, with neck
guards like small holsters, and with
swords, not to protect their principals,
but to prevent foul play. The umpire,
watch and notebook in hand, soon took
his seat, and the weapons were handed
to the sWordsmen. The swords have
a very large iron barred hilt, something
of the shape of a claymore hilt, but
much larger. They are quite straight,
about three-quarters of an inch wide at
the point. They are very thin and fex-
ible, and low-tempered, in order that
they may not be brittle, and require
constant Strengthening during the fight.
They are very sharp at the point for
about nine inches; the rest is blunt.
