T R1sH INDEPENDENT, Dublin.-The
National Federation of Meat
Traders Associations in England
has drafted a bill to provide for
the licensing and regulation OF
butchers shops. The bill proposes that
licenses should be granted only TO
traders who have proper storage ac-
commodation, and whose premises are
otherwise suitable.
Since the Irish Independent some
wears ago called attention to the dam
ger of having meat exposed to dust
laden germs in open windows, up-to-
date yictualers In Dublin and the
provinces have installed plate-glass
windows, and taken other necessary
prfGau.lohRs' fn corRs however, according to the
last report Of the city medical Off
Ger. only four out Of 81 butchers shops
in the city have glass fronts.
During 1882 huge quantities OF meat
In Cork were condemned as diseased
or unsound.
Workers Seek Reforms
in Mexican Industry.
Ell Universal, Mexico. D. F.-A num-
Der of working groups in Federal Dis
trict have united in petition address,
ed to the Department Of Labor which,
it Is hoped, will be the motive Tor a
general alienation of industrial condi-
tions. AS is well known. the President
of the republic has already conceived
some projects tending to improve the
state Of the day laborer, princlpauy IN
the establishment of q maximum 1or
hours of employment and a minimum
of stipend paid in wages.
Don Juan de Dios Bojorquez, chie1 OF
the department Of labor, would put
into immediate effect the provisions
suggested by the President in the Fed.
eraI District, though concurrence OF
Congress would be necessary to make
the same measures effective IN otner
parts of the country.
In the petition presented to the de-
partment of labor, examples are gwen
of many instances wherein employees
are worked in industry far more tnan
the maximum hours RECOMMENDED
and receive for their labors, but an m
finitesimal fraction Of what should De
factories of the capital men ana women
are working for 80 centavos (less than
is cents) q day, and some other man.
ufactories, such as the textile ana
leather industries, are almost as mea-
ger in their dispensations.
The whole subject Is one Tor care,
full investigation, and will be solVeo
In the opinion of the President, Don
Abelardo l.. Rodriguez only through
the cooperation Of the public and the
manufacturers. The public first must
consent to pay somewhat higher prices
for commodities, and the latter must
undertake to see that their employees
share in their larger profits. Such q
policy will result eventually in the set
ting up of an entirely new industrial
system, in which all domestic trade Will
function reciprocally.
The payment Of higher wages will
insure larger sale Of goods and mer-
chandise, and this greater demand Will
then afford opportunity for the en-
ployment of still more workers. In
the abstract there appear to be no
limits to the increasing advantages OF
the plan. High tariffs, low tariffs, or
no tariffs will then be equally powerless
to effect an internal national prosper
ity which constantly maintains the
delicate balance between production
and purchasing power.

Nile Flood Begins
to Swirl Under Bridges.
Palestine Post, Jerusalem-The Nile
flood is beginning to come down, and
the river, swirling under the bridges,
takes on more interesting aspect than
during its shallow months. It Is full
of the usual flotsam and jetsam,
corpses Of bufYaloes, donkeys, ETC., but
at least It has more character, now that
it is on the move. Unfortunately the
rise is . meter less than the average
this year according to measurements
taken Ia the Upper Nile. which u
