their presence. They were Misses

and Mary Parks. These young ladies,

Last week the workingmen at the
shops had little difficulty to adjust
with the company IN the shape of re-
monstrance TO the effect that they were
not willing to have the end of
months labor cut off as well as the
days of the week shortened. which in
effect cut them down to about half
rations, All is lovely again and the
men are so well Jorganized that they
are bound to have justice though the
Heavens fall! Capital is organized
and why not labor? 1t Is the only way
the workingmen have of keeping
things even-thorough organization
and all moving together as one man.
