CITY AND VICINITY. The employes of the New York Cen tral were paid on Monday. Christopher Flynn the young man who was burned a few weeks ago is able to be about again. In the steam mill they have new orders for axles and are setting new dies made for the hammer preparMory to starting. At the Barden water mill there are three horse-shoe trains with nine rivet machines, and one scrap furnace running. In the latter part of last week they drew the bars on ten fumoes in Burdens’ on account of the heat bemg too oppres* The Mukvitle shirt and collar company corner North Fourth and Hatton streets have sold ont their bnainees to VanZandt A vender of the Owl was put in prisou ID Hudson last week, and in both Sche nectady and Amsterdam its sale was suppressed. In the water mill of the Albany Iron Works they are running four n vet ma chines, twenty-foQT nail machines, hoop train and axle hammer. In the merchant mill of the Troy Iron and Steel Co., the 18-inch, 9-inch and 16 inch trains are Idle ; also the sheet mill owing to a scarcity of coal. John Furlong got a severe scalp wound Sunday while at work in the Albany Iron works, by a wrench falling on his bead. He was attended by Dr. Bonesteel. At the Albany iron works the 16 inch. 14 inch and Belgian &sins are raoniog full In the puddling department they are working seven double furnaces. The engineers of the steel trains should be a little more cautious and give people warning of their approach, or there will be a suit for damages against the com pany some day. The funeral of Daniel McIntyre, who died from injuries indicted by one of the narrow-gauge engires in the steel works lu t week, was largely attended from St, Michael’s Church Tuesday. In Burdens’ puddle forge there are fifty-eight puddling fnmaces and one scrap furnace running, also two horse shoe trains and one rivet train. There are no changes in the mercbsnt mill from last week. Three carriers are to be added to the post-ofBce force. The salaries of distribu ters Hurlbert and Sllter and one or two other employes have been decreased and that of the money order clerk at Lan- siDgburgh mcreaaed by orders from Washington. A number of persons having com plained to Mayor Fitzgerald agsinst the sale of the Albany Owl, setting forth that it is an obscene and immoral publica tion, an order has been issued to arrest all persons found crying out the name of the paper or offering it for sale, and to confiscate the papers. Testimony before the investigating committee inquiry into municipal affairs in general has developed the fact that School Commissioner Wales' son George, twelve years of age, was last year paid $40 for what was this year done by a i for $20. The man may have been paid too Utile, but the boy was certainly paid too much. The Malleable Iron Works company has elected the following officers: Wm. A. Qtippiu, p resident; Waldo K. Chase, jr.. vice-president; William Sieicher, jr. geoeraj manager; Bdwin Veghie, secre tary and treasurer; John H. Whittemore, W'ifliam A. Grippin, auditors; trustees, John H. Whittemore, Bronson B. Tat tle, William Sieicher, jr.. William A. Grippin, Wa’d i K , Chaee, The Rev. Mr. Remick wants to reform Qie city government, which certainly st nds in need of reformation, ny putting good men in office. The suggestion is an excellent one, and the only wonder is jt hasn’t been thought of before. He also proposes that oauenses should be held in school houses instead of, as is too frequently done, in saloons and other objectionable places, and that also is a good idea too, although the Press sneers at thesuggcstioD, saying: “as if bnild- inga and n ot men are the instraments by which reform is to be brought about.” It is the men we want, but it is a thing that ihe good men will be missing uidess they are provided a respectable place to consult In. ALBANY. The strike of timiivan Jt iiihler’s brick layers, beciuse that firm purchased brick of a boycotted manufacturer, has been amicably settled, a proposition having been made by the firm, and accepted by the men, that they furnish their ov brick. Work was resumed on Monday. WEST TROT. A number ot men working upon the sewers in the employ of Contractor Flag ler struck on Tuesday for semi-monthly pay-days. They went to work again an promise being made that their demand should be granted. PORT HENRY. L. A. 6316 of Port Henry is la a thriving condition, having a membership of about 160 in good standing. It gave a social and dance this week, with what results we have not heard, lor the p u r pose of raising funds for the establish ment of a reading room. The assembly already bas a pleasant hall, b a t they need to purchase books and subscribe to pub- COHOE8. Night work bas been commenced on the Victor knitting mill. The employes of the Troy Waste Company’s shoddy mil! struck Monday morning because one of their number was discharged. The Executive Board of the K. of L. being called in, the troub le was soon amicably settled. CO-OPERATIVE GLOVE FACTORY. A co-operative leather, glove and mit ten factory has been started at Johns town, N. Y., which makes gloves and mittens of every description. Every pair of gloves and mittens will bear the K. of L. stamp, and all Knights are earnestly urged to call for gloves besting this stamp, and thus encourage co-operative industry. STRIKE AND LOCK-OUT AT AMS- TEBDAM. The strike of the spinners in Schuyler & Blood’s mill still continnes at Amster dam. All the mills in the town shut down on Tuesday night, throwing 3,000 bands out of employment. The de mands of the spinners will be supported by a strike of the other operatives, which will be ordered to prevent the manufac- tuiers from filling their contracts. CLERKS’ ASSEMBLY, K. O F L. The clerks of Troy have organized a local assembly, which is in a prosperoug condition, although it embraces but a small pioportaoQ of the clerks of the city. Fur some reason employes in metchantile houses have held themselves aloof from other workmen, not realizing that they had interests iu common. Nor have they as a class come to comprehend that organization can do as much for them as for others. Nevertheless the average clerks are among the hardest worked and poorest paid of all employes. Tneir work, though not laborious, is still fatiguing, and a large part of their slender wages most be devoted to the purchase oi clothiag so that they shall make a presentable appearance behind the counter. Some of our merchants show a cummeudable desire to favor their em ployes. by wilJinglv closing early at night and giving them a weekly half holiday, but others can only be forced to such measures by united action of the clerks of the city. Theie ate many otoer ways, too, in which organization can benefit them, and we trust that L. A. 6333 will soon be one of the largest and mosf prosperous in the city. DANBT, VT. S. L.

Mark well where ne says “theft is being committed on my works by persons known a s ‘Jew peddlers.' ” How theft! Have this class of men ever carried off any of Griffith’s lumber, coal or goods? Uh, no. It is because these men have sold goods to Griffith's help at prices much less than they could get them at Griffith’s oompany store.

ABOUT TWO WEEKS' PAY DAYS. E oitob O labion :—In yonr issue of September 1 1 1 aaw some remarks in re gard to semi-monthly pay-days. Although I agree with A. B. C. ou some points, still I would like to ask a few questions : 1st. Mae be asked his employer for two weeks’ pay? 2J. If not, how is his em ployer te know what he wants? 3d. Wouldn't it be better to request first, and if refused to threaten afterwar-ds? 4tb. Is he Bare his employer would not grant bis request? Brother workmen what is the use of our talking about what we ought to do, or ought not to do? Why don’t we stop talking and do something? In cose our employers want to reduce out wages, and are afraid we will not consent to such reduction, and did not come to us, but sent some one outside to toil us, or bad a law pasaed without first coming to us, we should call them unfair. Now let us do to others as we would have them do to us. Don’t let them say we went to work underhanded. When we are in the right let US comeout as men and citizens of the United States, and make oar re quests without fiinching. Some men are no good to themselves or to anyone else. If you cannot do without a two week' pay-day, unite as employes and make your request in a fair square and reasonable way. If a thing isn’t worth asking for it isn’t worth haviDg. Two weeks’ pay now or never. Workingmen subscribe for theULASiON it is your paper. It is devoted to your Interest, and yon Aoold support it.

SHORTER HOURS AND FRIDAY PAY-D.\YS. The most prominent retailstores of the city acd tuose moot worthy of patronage, have been for some time past closing at 7.30, thus giving their employes a portion of their evenings to themselvek There IS talk now uf keeping open until n later hour, b ut we trust it will be only lalk. If any change is made let it be to 6.30, which will give time for thosi who wish to make purchases after working Lours and wiliat ihe jame time give an addi tional hour of rest to men and women who are weary with standing all day. If all should unite in the early closing movement, there would be no loss to any one. We feel certain that the leading establishmetiCs womd readily consebi to such a change if the matcer were prop erly represented to them, and that many smaller storts andshops would cheerfully follow their example, while thoec who manifested reluctance in the matter would be brought to terma by organized action. In Philadelphia most mercantile and ffioaufacturing establishments gave their employes a half holiday on Saturday afternoon. This enables them, if they desire, to go out of tbe city to spend Sunday. There la one objectiou to a Saturday half-hotijay. Men and women who receive their pay on Saturday have sometimes ueceeeary purciiasee lo make after working hours, and would be seri ously incourenieuced if no stores were open. But if pay-day were ehauged to Friday in the various establishments of tbe city, the workingmen and women would find It to their advantage, the merchants wonld be at no losses, and the clerks would gain a neeued rest and op portunity for recreation.
