An association of textile manufacturers was
formed in Philadelphia Monday, embracing
nearly all the prominent firms. Over one
hundred and fifty of the wealthiest producers
of the city and surrounding country, represent
ing, it is estimated, $50, 600 900 capital, were
present. The objects of the association are
the establishment of fair and uniform wages,
the prevention of strikes, the settlement of
differences between employers and operatives
and the protection Of the members from
worthless and incompetent operatives. The
members are mutually pledged to one an
other in case of strikes or demands for ad-
vanced wages by their employees, and should
a strike occur in any one factory the mills of
all will be summarily closed until the strike
is settled satisfactorily to the employer in
whose mill it occurs. Each firm in the or
ganization will be required to make deposit
of notes or bonds to represent percentage
on his pay roll, and this fund will be used in
reimbursing manufacturers for losses sustained
during strikes.

Shakespeare Water Cure.

The sale of seats for the Shakespeare Water
Cure, to be presented at City Hall next week,
will commence at Stockbridge's today, and those
who are wise will secure them at once. The piece
has received several representations in Portland,
for various charitable objects, and probably has
caused more genuine laughter and amusement
than any entertainment of similar nature. 1t is
the first time, however, that the ladies who have
the play in charge have attempted so large an
audience room as that of City Hall, and it is with
the hope that the house may be crowded that we
urge the public to secure seats at once and give
themselves an evening of decided pleasure.
The argument of the drama is brief. Staying
at water cure establishment are: Hamlet, for
his health, with his wife, Ophelia; Macbeth and
Lady Macbeth, for economical reasons, in need of
the needful; Mrs. Bassanio, enjoying legal va
cation. The Montagues having been disowned by
both their houses, Mr.. Romeo Montague takes to
the stage, and is here with his travelling company
and wife. Shylock wishing to possess Portals
god brides Lady Macbeth to incite her husband
to the murder of Bassanio, SO that Shylock may
marry that fair heiress all of which is accom-
plished and a wedding dinner, superintendent by
Othello, is given by the patients to the happy
bride and BRIDEGROOM

The Trunkmakers, trouble.

Mr.. j. L. Bracket yesterday told a reporter, in
reference to the demands made by his men for III
creased pay that at present he had nothing to say
about the matter, but probably would have in a
few days. He said the list of prices as published
in the papers was not a correct one.
On the other hand one of Mr.. Brackets employees,
a good workman and man OF intelligence, told the
reporter that the list correct save in the price
offered for No. 8 zinc trunks, which should have
been 4.5o instead of 81. This employe showed
the reporter a letter that he had received from
the foreman of large trunk mandatory in
Boston. From the prices given in this letter 1t
appears that the advance offered by MI Brack-
EFT is, in every instance considerably less than
the price now paid in Boston for similar work.
This employee said that the men in the employ OF
Mr.. Bracket would not accept the offer made by
him Saturday, but would insist on being paid the
same prices now paid in Boston for the same KIND
Of work. The eight men employed by Mr.. Brack-
EFT are still at work, and propose to keep at work
pending the arrangement of the differences on the
question of prices between themselves and the
firm
