THE IRON Men IN CoUNcIL.--The
convention of pig iron manufacturers
met Thursday of last week at the rooms
of the American Iron and Steel asso-
citation, in Philadelphia, when the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted
That we earnestly appeal to congress
for such Legislative assistance to the
industries of the country as will aid in
relighting the fires which are now
quenched, and in gaining employment
to our unemployed working men.
That it is the opinion of the conven-
ton that this assistance can be most
promptly rendered by stimulating the
completion of the present authorized
continental lines of railroad between
the Atlantic and Pacific. and by i'm
proving and increasing facilities for
cheap transportation by water for
the traffic of the country.
That the completion of these CONT
mental Lines of railway would ettectu-
ally end orr Indian troubles, and thus
save many millions annually to the gov
ernment in military supplies and trans
portation
That the permanent prosperity Of
industrial interests of the country can
only be assured by the speedy adoption
by Congress Of a financial policy which
shall produce general revival OF conf
dence. and bv abandonment of the SUI
cidal policy of ncouraging foreign
manufactures at the expense of our cap
ital and labor.
That this convention earnestly re-
comends the passage of the finance bill
now pending before the House Of Rep
resentatlves providing for free banking
That we request the working classes
of this country through their organl
cations and otherwise TO call mass meet
ings Immediately and urge upon the
present Congress not to adjourn until
it had acted upon the financial question
before it.
That we will cooperate with the
workingmen to the best Of our ability
in all honorable means to have proper
action taken by this congress or the
next to advert the threatened influx
of foreign iron into this country, by
which action the labor necessary to the
production of such iron as the country
needs will be secured to our own people
towhom it rightfully and justly belongs
That it is fatal to our interests to long
er attempt keeping our furnaces in
blast, as at the present prices paid for
labor the loss in the manufacture of
pig iron is large. If stocks accumulate
much beyond the wants Of consumers
this loss will be increased and bankrupt
cy will be inevitably reached AS a
measure of self preservation, therefore,
we recomend all manufactures of pig
iron in this country to curtail produc
ton by Stopping the mining Of coal and
ore, and such other work as is necessa-
~ in the preparation of stock, and put
ont their fires as soon as possible, until
such time as an increased demand will
justify a change of policy.

Coal Companies are now receiving all
their coal via the river, instead of by
the Alexandria canal as heretofore
and the receipts of coal on the canal
are, in consequence, considerably di-
minished The boats are locked out
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal at
Rock Creek, Georgetown, and towed
here by tug boats, and, during fair
weather, no difficulty is experienced,
but safe tonnage of boats during foul
weather is by no means certain.

REPUTATION TuREATENED.-At a
meeting of delegates from the various
trades unions of Boston with reference
to the lock outs among the coopers
of New York city and the free-stone
cutters of Boston, in addition to the
determination that all labor organiza-
tons render the strikers all the sup
port possible, the following resolution
was adopted:
ReSotred, That this meeting rec
ommend that all labor organizations
adopt as their motto eight hours, and
the Reputation of the goldb caring
bonds.
\ large meeting of stevedores and
coopers was held in Philadelphia, Sun
day, to protest against the contract
system which employers are endeav-
oring to introduce The meeting was
very enthusiastic, and those who are
on a strike at Point Breeze expressed
a determination to hold out. Many of
the EMPLOYERS made the men sign
contract by which a dollar and half
OF wages per week is retained until
So is accumulated. To this the men
object.
A strike of laborers who attend on
bricklayers brought work to a stand
still in New York Tuesday on many
buildings. y leading builder thinks
the demands will be generally rejected,
as the building trade is exceedingly
dull. New men were obtained in
some cases and one large contractor
has decided to obtain fifty Italians in
stead of those recently in his employ,
Four hundred men have been dis
charged from the iron mines at Port
Aram, Morris county, New York, and
five hundred Will be discharged from
the Hibernia mines, adjacent next
Saturday. The wages of those re-
tanned have been reduced to 81 %
per day from so. Falling off in the
demand for ore is given as the reason
for this action.
The hod-carricrs of New York, by
order of the Laborers U. B. So
cietv, struck Monday for higher wages.
This strike necessarily prevents the
bricklavers and masons from working
and is likely to cause much distress.
The stage drivers strike has ended in
the success of the employers.
The weavers strike in Philadelphia
is ended.
The strike of the freight brakemen
on the Chicago and Alton railroad
continues, and notwithstanding the
statement made to the contrary by
officers Of the road is general About
one hundred men struck. Their
places have been filed either by green
hands or temporarily by conductors
OF trains.
The old employers of the cotton
mill of Sellers Hoffman, of Philadel-
phia are on strike, and on Monday
afternoon they interfered with the
new hands who were set at work.
Officers took into custody eight Of
the strikers, who We're held to bail.
The stage drivers strike in New
York has practically failed, as the
different companies have succeeded
in engaging new drivers at old rates.
The old men, however, still preserve
their firm attitude.
Five men were instantly killed
Saturday in the Consolidated Amador
mine on Suttcr creek, in California,
by the falling of the cage in the mine,

There has been more Cumberland
coal sent from Baltimore, Ml., to San
Francisco, this year, Il al for the same
period of any one year, and this all
on private account, the shipments
foreign haveals increased. amounting
to upwards Of 30, OOOtons already this
this year: Among the vessels that
have been loaded lately from this port
for San Francisco, are the Humboldt
|, 400 tons; Garnet POO tons; King
Phillip l.400 tons; Bark Kinssman
| 800 tons; Eliza Nc Neal 1900 tons;
Ellen Goodspeed 600 tons, partly
in casl> and partly bulk, freights
range from $40 to $ll.50 per ton,
according as the cargo be in casks or
bulk.
About the year 1900 coal was first
discovered on the banks of the Tyne,
and was introduced as fuel into
London about the year l350in the
reign of Edward I, Its use, how
ever, was in 1878 forbidden by proc
lamation, in consequence of the gas be-
ing considered to be deleterious to
health through corrupting the at
mosphere, and for many years after it
remained unused. At the close of the
century, however, the value of coal
became recognized, and its application
and consumption extended.
Messrs. Denmead & Sons of Balti-
more, are building fine hosting en-
CINE of 40 horse power, for the Hamp
shire and Baltimore Coal Co. to be used
at their National Mines, as they in
tend going for the coal below water

imported from England.
1t is estimated that there are per-
haps 5000 acres of the 1t feet vein
Of the Georges Creek Cumberland
Coal, yet unworhed.
Coal expectation for several months
past has been exceedingly dull, owing
principally to the fact that the vessels
arriving from foreign ports "in bal
last are ballasted with foreign coal,
which serves them on their return.
Heretofore, to large extent, steam
ships going hence had to supply them
selves with our American semi bitu-
miuous coal. Moreover the compar-
atively dull shipping business gener-
ally has led to the withdrawal of sew
eral steamers, which were large con-
sumers Of American coal.
