PARDoEs, Feb 2, 1874, says Il am sor-
ny to inform you that our Lodge here is
about TO be broken up. The reason is, we
came out on strike against reduction Of
ten cents per ton in November last We
have tried twice since then to compromise,
but failed to make a settlement. The
bosses are now introducing ''black-l legs" to
Harrisville, Butler county, and have start
ed that part of their works with them
They have gone so far that the men are
compelled TO leave their houses. Such is
the decision of the courts at Mercer, and
the sentence of the bosses is, that no man
who worked here before the strike, shall
have work any more. | remain,
Yours, in trouble.
Men ought to be very careful about pre-
cipitating themselves into strike more
especially at this time, with a dull market
for coal everywhere. They should consider
first, if there is any chance Of success
browning their efforts, and all the chances
Tin the second place., there is for defeat
and disaster resulting from the course they
pursue. 1t is useless for single work or
Lodge to enter into 9 struggle against
reduction, however revolving it may be to
their feelings or sense Of justice aud right,
if, in the same region or district, the other
works quietly accept and work under it.
Al well might one man in whole shaft or
mine stand out againss o reduction in price
and all the others working SO long as
strikes aregone into rashly, inconsiderately,
and without thorough understanding with
the whole district interested and alike af-
fected, so long will useless suffering, wretch

The Vertical Feed.

This is arranged above the shuttle plate, the
goods resting upon a smooth surface are held
firmly down by the presser foot until the needle
has penetrated tho fabric, at which time the
pressure on the fabric is being transmitted from
the pressure foot to the vertical feed BAR (which
comes down on the goods close behind the nee
dle,) by means of bearer connecting the two
and also with the needle-bar, SO that at the
time the needle has reached its lowest point ths
full pressure is transmitted to the feed bar, and
at which time the needle bar and feed bar arc
both moved laterally the desired length of
stitch, Both moving in unison at their highest
and lowest points A moments glance ut this
novel combination for feed will convince the
reader of its superiority for the following rea.
sons:
1st. The presser foot is always raised from
the fabric when the feed takes place, thereby
presenting no resistance to seams or ridges
while feeding.
Cd. The needle being in the fabric. moving
with the verticalfeed bar with its full pressure
on the goods. renders the feed sure and strong,
and the stitch uniform in length.
3D.. The needle being in the goods at ths
time the feed takes place. renders it impossible
to full one liece while the other is stretched,
4th. The vertical feed bar being behind the
needle renders it capable of sewing elastic
goods, making smooth and flexible seam with
stitch alike on both sides-thus enabling the
sewing of any number of thicknesses without
basting. and operating with equal facility en-
the heaviest as well as the lightest fabrics.

ing, and is especially adapted to dress making
