MINNEAi Oils COOPEKS.

The advance In wages secured last week by
local coopers extended to the shop Of the An
Choir Manufacturing company, where the one
stave barrel Is made. The men are paid by
the day and formerly received $3.50. By the
new deal they get S2.6S. The minimum wages
to be paid by the company is 81 so per day,
and an agreement has been signed to main
tain these prices until July 1.
The one great difficulty with the coopering
business in Minneapolis is large excess of
barrel producing capac ty over the demand.
There are at least third more shops and men
than are needed to supply the barrels used,
and il is the competition from this third that
demoralizes the business, keeping both barrel
prices and wages unduly low.
The Acme Barrel company sold over 5000
barrels last week, finding it necessary to buy
a considerable number. This is the heaviest
business it ever did Tue COMPANY has de-
cided to enlarge its membership 10 fortyf1ve
coopers. admitting fifteen journeymen which
it IS at present employing.
The Northwestern Barrel company has the
credit of receiving probably the | argest car
OF shaved hoops which ever came into the
city. They were from L. c Boyle, of Viro-
qua Wis, and numbered ll4,200, being
shipped in large furniture car.
The business of the shops made an upward
movement last week and was quite satisfac-
tory. The manufacture was the heaviest
during the current year, and the sales were
next to the largest tor a number of weeks.
Last week was red letter one for the
barrels made by it being the largest 1t ever
turned out. The amount was i'll excess of
Is, 600 barrels.
The Northwestern shop made 10000 barrels
last week, this being a little the best it
ever did.

we will be able to get along with it this
winter. There is no cellar 10 the building,

need of refrigerator. A good zinc-lined
bath tub is just as good a thing to keep
butter and preserves in as any refrigerator
that ever was built. You See we can pack

the top and pile trunks and stuff that we
don't want to use on top. 1t may be a little

Nhn FRI SnoW

Yesterday morning ushered in the first snow
of the season. and with shiver the heavy
weather overcoat was donned, while those
who had neglected TO lay in stock of fall
and winter underwear Immediately con.
cuded that no time is now to be lost in
making a selection. A word of advice in
this connection will not be amiss Go at
once to the GOyer Bros, No. 1877
East Third street. and examine their
stock. They have the finest
display in this line to be found west of Chi
cago, and if you can't be suited either as re-
CARDS price or quality, you are indeed hard to
please. A speciality is also made of fine
shirts to order, and perfect fit is guaran
teed in each instance. Should an error oc-
cur by which lit is not perfect, the defect
will be remeded or the money cheerfully
refunded 1t costs but tritle more to have
a shirt made to tit the form. and it is fool
ish man indeed that will endure the
mseries of an ill-fitting shirt when such an
opportunity is within their grasp.

One of the most interesting as well as GU
riOus strikes in the country is that now
going OH in New York. if. indeed, it can be
called strike, and which is conducted by
Cinnamon. The Troy laundry reduced the
price OF washing aud ironing collars and
cuffs to ~ cents apiece, but the Chinese
iaundrymen, some of whom are Knights Of
Labor, refused to come down and formed
an organization on that basis. They UNI
mercifully boycott a Chinanan who cuts
prices, and it appears that nobody can Guido
these gentlemen of the pigtail in letting
alone" The boyc0tted laundryman is le1t
entirely without companionshp and is in
fact done up" The days of Dennis
kearney are over and the Knights of Labor
are taking in the Cinnamon There are
both Chinese and Hindoos in the New York
city assemblies.

Saw well of peace;
Thought it well to keep her,

Wondered why caresses

Ceased when she was nigh;
