The steel works are in full operation, and tarn out an average of 6,501 tons The Kmmet picnic at Rensselaer park will be repeated on Monday next, with :ir features in the programme. A new platform ia being erected around the Adams str ct freight house, also a sw flooring inside. At Joseph Buwmm & Sun's collar fac tory the girls are permitted to buy their thread where they please. We have been favored with a visit from Messrs. Martin and O'Dunocl of the Central Labor Union of New York. Jjmos Herbert of the nail factory re turned from Europe on Monday, after a two months' visit, apparently benefited by his voyage. At Coon's collar f.ictoiy the girls are compelled to purchase their thread of their employer under penalty of dis charge. e are toid that the Troy iron and steel company have orders ahead for rails which will give the men employ ment for a year. Biermeistcr k Spicer and Qcorge P. Ide 4 Co. each refused fo permit their collar cutlets to attend the excursion of Delta Assembly on Tuesday last. At the Rensselaer old mill the lO-incli Ctain is running at full capacity. The 18- inch train is only running single turns. Tbi> sheet mill is also ruoniog single turn. E itl A Wilson sell thread to their em ployes at 7^ cents per pair of spools, an I require their op ratlves to buy of them. Outside iirices for the same thread, CO The Rensselaer rail mill is being worked to it^ full cipacity. They are patting a new boiler in tbe furnace that blew out some time ago with such fatal results. L. A. 0044 wishes a full attendance of its members this eveniug at Stephen's Hall, as business of impoitance will come before the meeting. By order of Master Workman. The cat wheel works,the Empirefoun- dry and the molding department of the Clinton foundry were shut down on Monday to permit the employes to attend tbe molaers' picnic. The Different tran-sportation companies o! Troy report bnsiness largely increased that of previous years. The labor organizations have not yet mined the In purchasing flour the members are requested to see that the barrel bears the K. of L. label on its head, A brother from Rochester visited Troy on Monday evening last in relation to this matter. It is eaid that the stove men of Troy e having a larger fall trade than they anticipated. Doesn’t the fact that wages have alvanced, making more men con- sumer.', have something to do with this? The Albany iron works which have bees shut down for several weekssiarted sereral departments Monday. Twohorse ohoe trains, two horse shoe machines and several rivet machines ate in operation. A number of young men employes of the Empire stove works, have organized a boat club, calling U tbe Hennessy club and have bmlt a boat house at the foot of Madison street. This club owns sev eral shells There Is the same Oornber of rivet ma chines ronning at the water mill as last week. They have a number of orders ahead for merchant iron which they are nnable to fill as fast as they desire for lack of iron. the ompice foundry the stove plate department ia running its fullc^iacity o miilders. and cannot keen the stove- mounters supplied with castings. The osr-wheel department is very busy; also the department lor moulding the ingots for tbe steel works. The Sunlight knitting mill will soon resume operations under control of a stock comp any. It will be under the management of Mrs. Seitz. The stock holders are David Cowee, Jacob Winters, John Dean, George W. Chapman, Jamei Akin and William M. Patton. Thecapi- tal stock will be abont $40,000. We have criUcized Sandfotd & Robin son with some severity in ancther col- , we now want to say a good word for them. While Ide * Co., and no doubt other firms make a clear parofit of 815, and probably $Y5, on every sewing machine sold oa iaatallweata to its oper atives, tbe former establishment sells a :hine on weekly or monthly payments for the same price that it can be pur chased for cash at the -regular office; and It’s greatly to its credit# The effort of the employes of the South Troy mills to obtain a semL-monthly pay day has not yet been successful. Don’t give up. “To him that asketh shall be given,” if be only asks lung and loud and often euoQsh. It is a just demand, though a jnstcr would be a weekly pay- d -y, and they will get that in time if th-y only try eaaneetly for it. In the piidlling department of Bur den’s mill they have put in four furuaciS this week. Two horse-shoe trains and one fourteen inch train working their full capacity: also the rivet tiain. The molding departmeut is very busy turniog oi.t ihe necessary repairs for the mill. They have now io opera tion not far from fifty fiimaces, aad the work is driggiug for need of a siiffleient number of puddlers' helpers. Th^y hsve advertised lu the New Y’urk papers. There was a very Urge attendance at tbe molders’ picnic held in Y'oungN grove on Monday. The day was a beau- tifnl one and the crowd was orderly and quiet. Nobles won the 2-mile race, and rec ived the gold badge, having won e at three siicceaeive picnics. Kennedy defeated Burke io the 100-yard dash. Kenealy won the o’d men's race, and Cisey the sack race. Buesser won the ten glass ball sbuodog match, and William Dommer tbe ten clay pigeon match.

Tbeenttersin their uni forms paraded on arriving at Saratoga, and were reviewed by the mayor of that city. A large number of excuraionists visited Mount McGregor,-while others spent a portion of the day at the lake. The rsces were also a great centre of at traction. The day passed without any disturbance whatever, the excursionists belug exceptionally quiet and orderly. GREEN ISLAND. The excunionof mixed aaeeni'tly K. of L. to Prospect grove on Monday, was largely attended by both Green Island ers and Trojans. The employes of the sash aud blind works ot Greeu Island are paid on tbe 10th uf each mouth; those of tbe Dels- & Hudson Canal Company on the IStbundof the New Y'ork Central tbe Five hundred employes at the Gilbert r works in Green Island struck on Saturday last became they had not been paid according to promise.

Iron Molders’ Union, No. 2, held a picnic on Monday last, and advertised Times with the others. The following e iact in tbe different city papers, ) le follow! notice, which appeared shortly after, signed by the president and seeretarv, speaks for itself: Information luiving reached our union that the Troy Daily Times Is still run as a non-union shop, it was ordered that our advertisement be immediately with drawn from said paper for the reason that it is a non-nnion paper, and the gate prize offered by said paper is hereby de- Workingmen subscribe for the OLABtoN it is yonr paper.

Only a few weeks since wc made pub lic the fact that Certain uf our collar manufacturers were lieiiving nu ilUgiti mate profit from the sale ol thread to their operativee at a price ranging from 6 to 16 cents more per pairof spools than the came or better luruii c-,^u!d be ob- taiued for from outside dealers As a result of the agitation on this bubjeot, we plettsud to record the fact that s-v- eral large collar houses, among tiieiu George P. Ide, d u e tt Bros., Walleusiem & Tim, and perhaps others whos# names have not obtaiueih have rodueed the piles of tueu tUreAd, and made it op tional witu their employees to purohasi; of them or elsewhere. Sanford and Rob inson aie not one of these firms. True, th.it firm reduced the price uf its spools 6 cents per iinir, but tbe girls must still pay 70 cents for what they can obtain ouiside for 60, while the notice is still posted in the establishment to the effect that every operative is required to pur chase uf the firm tie thruad used by her upon its work. For some time the gins smuggled in from ouiside about half the thread they used, so that there was a no- ticable failing off in the firm's sah-s. With the closest watching tbe culxirits could not be discovered, for they had only to remove the paper label from the etid of the firm's empty spool, and pa^ie it upon the couiraband one. Tuen the buss (fiiauged his taciics. He examined the books of each stitcher, and compared the amount of money earned with the to be deducted for thread, aud thus Aus enabled to come to a pretty ac curate Conclusion as to the amount uf thread cadi girl had purchased outside. The operatives were cjufroaied »ith the results of this figuring, aud given to derstand that such a stale of afiairs was be tolerated no longer. So now, rather than risk being thrown out of em- ploymeut, they meeRly submit to ihe ex tortion practiced upon them, uu excep tionally brave girl perhaps suiuggliug in a single spool weekly, and the firm's profits on the sale of thread alone to its hundred ox>erattves, are restotei to tueir old figures, which arc probably not leSs than 850 per week. THE aCHAGHTIt'OKE TROUBLE. ScHAonriooKS, N.Y’„ Aug. 2,1, 1886. Editor of T he C labiov . la your issue uf Saturday, Aug. 21st, 1886, you make statements regarding our troubles which are quite erroneous and which should be corrected. spinners shall do the “dofiiug” hereto fore done by children; bat that they shall issist iu that process until such time hildreu of the legal age can be obt liued to do, the work, the mill on t twelve spiunei doffing and ttiree dolfers it d of July when the usedsed to assistsist inn thee relu to as i th reby stopped tue mills throwing between two and three hun dred out oi employment. We did ask them to asdst in this process at children's years of age, had three left and could very soon drei if tbi in have f ind up with older chit- s ha t not violate 1 the infract and struck against the doffing. Article 3 of tbe ooutraot betweea tue Cable I'lax Mills and its employes reads as follows: “When required b y t h e s j ' perlntendi&C, employes will worn in ,my other department, or at any other pro cess than that for which thej -------- gaged.” We paid 41 cents per day for dofBog previous to July 1st, since which time we have paid 50 cents day. We have in possession the prices paid the statement that our wages for “ dol ing” are lower than in other mills is mistake. The real truth of the matter is that we are paying the highest wages for this process, and so far as we know but one other mill In tbe country—that of James Thomson & Co. of Valley Falls, K. Y., is paying as much as the Cable Flax Mills, VIZ; 50 cents per day. Then is no “lock-out” here, and there has beci none. It is a “strike” by the spinner and twisters g a inst a most reasonable re- on the pert of the company. ANNOUN BY ch & Pha BROTHER KHIGHTS A T T E N T IO N ! Buy the N A T IO N A L K. o f L.

Tne above commuaication from/ the president of the Cable Prirjm ills wi: publish in full, believiug it ouiyfair that the mill proorietors should have an op portunity to give their sile of |lh e trouble. There are aome points* in the communicstiOQ which seem to provoke comment, It says that the managers onlyask that the spiauers shall ass st in tbe doffing, .until such time as cbiLJrea of legal age can be obtained to d> the work.” When asked how long it would take to secure these cbilJren, the mana ger replied: “about ten days.” Y’et tbe lock-out has already lasted about eight weeks, and no efloit seems to have lieen made to secure doffers. More than this, tbe names of 25 children of legal age who could be secured as doffers at 50 cents pet aay. were presented to the company out of which to select the 18 realiy need ed : hut the list was not accepted. In regard to the prices paid for duf fing, Mr, Hartshorn says: “The real truth of the matter is that we are paying the highest wages for this process; aud so far as we know, but one other mill in the counlry—thtU of Jami s Thompson Co., of Valley Falls, N. Y\.—is paying as much as the Cable Flax mills, viz: 50 cents-ierdhy. . The prices paid at Val ley are cents per day tor twelve out of Ihe eightMn doffers employed,and 75 cents p^r day fur the remaining six. The same prices are paid at Paterson, N. J.,and at Ludlow, Maas. We chal lenge the writer to produce a single flax mill which pays a less rate of wages for its duffing than the Cable Flax mills ol Sebaghticoke. In fact, unless we have been misinformed, those mills pay less in every department than any other flax mill in the country. Tbe commnnlcation says it is not a lockout but a strike, *Tlie fact is that the manager told the spinners, in terms more emphatic Chin coorteons, that if they wohld not do the doffing they might clear out. Tbe spinners did not refuse to do their usual work, but the company closed tbe mill as punishment for disobedience to its command-. Wasn’t that a lock-ont? The work people declare they ready for arbitration as soon as a fair basis for soch arbitration is agreed npoo. Any other basis would only prolong the trouble.
