refuse to grant their demand that DAYS work
shall be nine hours instead of ten. The laborers
are satisfied with their wages, which is So 90 a

sequel to the determination of the brieklayers to
work only nine hours. Among the builders there
seems to be a lack Of union. It is thought that
the majority will give in at once. It is certain,
however, that some are going to fight

Opening OF Navigation.

The steamer Helena Of the Power line
arrived at the Coal Banks last night at II
O'Clock and is expected in Benton TODAY.
This reliable steamer has done good work
in past years and is to-day the best boat of
her tonnage on the upper river. She was
built in 1876 under the supervision Of the
late Captain McGarry, then one Of the
proprietors Of the Power line, and she was
constructed with a view to lightness, ca
pacitv and strength, at the same time af-
tOrding ample accommodation for passen-
gers. Nearly all the old boats, and few
OF those built in the same year as the Hell
ena, were intended for freight onlv. The
General Meade, for example, was little
more than the hull of a steamboat; and
any man, not to mention ladies, was indeed
out Of luck when he took passage on this
cheaply and foOlishly constructed hulk.
But there were others that deserved equal
condemnation. Hardly a boat belonging
to the KOuntz line was fit to travel in. and
even as freight boats they were so unpopu-
lar that many Of those that came to Ben
ton were obliged to complete their cargoes
with articles If produce to be sold at Ben
ton by the owners Of the vessel. The

Captain Hanney, who Is said 10 haye been
