NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1868. ve THE LABOR MOVEMENT. The Bricklayers’ Strike. Asa very significant patent oof the progress of the strike the tact may bé considered that the com- mittee empowered to advante funds to all journey- men of the trade striking for eight hours as a day’s labor had but few applicants yesterday. At the Henry Clay House, on the corner of First street and EC) » It was quite interesting to hear what the 0 chine there eager to get money, said about the committee. Were it repéated in the HERALD not only one, but at least half a dozen libel suits would be commenced against this journal, for every one of the committee would conMder himself charged with having made improper use of the money in his hands. The men were very explicit and direct in their charges, and if anything, it is the belief of the journeymen that the funds contributed for their =P pars are misused in some Way or other, which will rustrate the whole strike in the end, In the evening a numerous meeting of journeymen bricklayers was held di the same place, Mr. John Bambach presiding and Mr. Christian Bohrman act- ing as secretary. society has but lately sprung into existence, being a second and, as they claim, improved edition of “Union No, 12.” This society opposes the movement for eight hours, and its mem- bers are willing to work ten hours per day, but hope that the bosses will know what it is to work in the summer and will be willing to pay @ small addi- tion to their wages if it shonld be necessary. This, as it is called, ten hours masons’ association already numbers 163 members, and last evening thirty-nine more were proposed, accepted and paid their fees. The new constitution was read and de- bated, and while they were voting on the several paragraphs our reporter left. The Clothing Cutters. The wholesale clothing cutters met last evening at 10 Stanton street, Mr. H. Schaefer presiding. But few of the members were present, and it was resolved to defer all action in regard to an increase of wages to some future meeting. Reports were received, how- ever, indicating that the owners of wholesale cloth- ing houses are willing to pay $22 and $24 per week if only a united and combined effort was made by the cutters, These reports were answered with ioud applause. The House Building Trade. The Executive Committee of the house building trade were to have held a meeting yesterday even- ing attheir rooms on the corner of Twenty-second street and Broadway, but no one aj pearing up to nine o’clock, our reporter made inquiries and ascer- ae that the meeting had been postponed till to- night.

False ProphetsDeaths iu This City in Five Daye—Mortuary Lists Compared With Those of Past Years—Terrible Effects of Heat— ‘Tho Board of Health Aroused—Cleauliness the Order of the Day—Tenement Houses— PesteA Remedy for Sunstroke—The Nam. ber of Cases Yesterday and Names of the Sick and Deceased, It were rank folly to vaticinate on the weather, Several gentlenién have endeavored by assiduously watching and comparing and recording meteorolo- gical phenomena to arrive at such results as would enable them positively to predict the thermometrical condition of the immediate future, but have uni- formly failed, for the simple reason that recurrences depend on so many extraneous, if not accidental causes, that their return as regular sequences is im- possible in nature, and therefore in science. Still we presume to assert that the close of the first heated term, with an average temperature four de- grees in excess of any year since 1846, is near at hand ; that there 1s a possibility of a series of show- ers for some days, followed by a week or 80 of de- lightful weather, and that possibly by a second tor- rid season in August, Although the temperature of the atmosphere this summer exceeds that of 1866, when the city was vis- ited by sporadic cases of cholera, we are yet with- out any epidemic that can be regarded of a conta- gious or malignant type. In this respect we are ortunate ; but, on the other hand, never have we had occasion to record so many deaths, caused either directly or indirectly by heat. In no previous year in the Metropolitan district can such a statement be found as this, From noon of Saturday, July 17, to noon of Sunday, July 12, 92 deaths were recorded; from noon of Sunday to noon of Monday (13th), 113; from Monday to Tuesday noon, 131; from Tuesday to Wednesday noon, 236, and from Wednesday to Thursday noon, 174. Thus in five days we have a total of 746 deaths from the effects, more or less, of heat. But even these returns do not include the deaths in the public institutions, such as the hospitals, nurseries, almshouses, &c. Of the 746, inquests were held on 94. The total of deaths during the week preceding, commencing July 5 and ending July 12, was 614; and on the week opening with June 28 and closing with July 4 (including those at the public institutions) the returns were 413. Compared with the corresponding periods in 1867 and 1866 we have, in the former year, in the week ending July 13, 528, and that ending July 6, 472 deaths, while in the last named year, in the first week of July, the mortuary returns gave 493, and in the second 827, of which eleven were from cholera. ‘These returns, which are oficial, show conclusively that the deaths in July, 1868, are In excess of any year that may be numbered in the decade commenc- ing with 1860, The following record will show the changes in the temperature for the past twenty-four hours, as indicated by the thermometer at Hudnut’s phar- macy, HERALD Bullding:— 85 ard of Health, alarmed at the returns which their own officers have handed into the Bureau of Vital Statistics, are making strenuous efforts to place Avert The temperature the city in the best possible sanitary condition, and it is to be hoped that we have now experienced the very worst of “the heated term.” Should it, how- ever, continue another week, there ia little question as tothe result. It will be next to tence. to of cholera or yellow fever, prevent the Lecce as there are obnoxious places in the city the Board cannot and if reached which its officers can- not wholiy control. Ancor these be named those terrible pests, the filth and nce dering tenement houses, not one of which be rmitted an hour's existence. We have no desire faterfere with the ‘vested rights” of landlords, but we hold that the public well-being is superior even to the bank accounts of men; and fur- ther, that death brought about by any si kness of which they are the cause is simply murder. There are caravanseries in this city under the roofs of which reside from twenty to one hundred famil packed away in sinall,tll-ventilated and poorly-light apartments, consisting in many instances of one dark bedroom and one small sitting, cooking, eat- ing, washing and working room, and how, there- fore, is it possible for these families, living in such close rape without even sufficient yard room in which to dry their clothes, to keep clean, to live purely—in fine, to avold disease, of which by their unhappy condition they are the unconscious breeders? We question if any other city onthe globe would permit the erection of such terrrible pest houses; and why are they allowed here? For the sanitary regulation of the ci many rules ought to be put and kept in force, and not tie least among these, the prohibition of more than four families, as perma- nent residents, on a lot, the area of which is less than seven thousand feet, except in hotels, where police regulations as regards ventilation, cleanliness, &c., are rigidly enforced, A NEW REMEDY FOR SUNSTROKE. A correspondent sends the annexed remedy for aunstroke, which, he thinks, “may prove of some service during the warm weather to those suffering from the effects of heat:’—In Egypt, where sun- stroke is of frequent occurrence, the Arabs dissolve some salt in water and pour it into the ears of the patient. This almost immediately relieves the suf- ferer. We kuow not what the effect, simple in its character (beyond the statement of our correspon- dent), of this remedy would be, but its application could not injure the patient, Shouid it prove an active agent, it would have a tendency to dissipate the dread now entertained against exposing the person to the heat of the noonday sun. It might even do inore—save the lives of hundreds who are swept out of existence simply because of the great ignorance which prevatis among medical men as to the most efficient manner of approaching aud treat- ing cases of coup de soliel.

Timely Suggestions for Prevalent Diseases. ‘The constant increase of mortality among children has induced the Board of Health, through the Re- gistrar of Vital Statistics, to give the following suggestions for the treatment of prevalent dis- eases:— POR THE PREVENTION OF CHOLERA INFANTUM. The mortality at this season of the year among the children in tenement houses from summer complaint (cholera infan- tum) ia excessive. In 1866 the deaths from this disease amounted to 1,593; {n 1867 to 1,611, while just at this time not leas than 15 to'20 children, mostly under one year of ae, fall victims daily to this maindy. understood that cholera infantum fs but the cholere of infants and like Asta. tie cholera depends upon preventibie causes.

The Gas Companies Aguin—An Alleged Nuisance to be Removed. ‘This Board held a special meeting yesterday. A number of orders in relation to the use of distm- fecting material were passed. Commissioner Smith made a statement in relation to his visit to the Metropolitan Gas works, explatn- ing that he visited the premises during Sunday evening, when no other manufactories were in oper- ation, and found that the vapors and odors emitted from the works were such as were detrimental to public health in the neighborhood in which they were located. The gas company admitted the ex- istence of the vapors and asked a hearing before the Board previous to lezal steps being taken against the corporatiou. This request was granite: A delegation of citizens presented tuomselves be- fore the Board and made 4 complaint against the fat melting establishment located at the foot of Thirty- eighth street and the North river, The delegation was assured that the matter would be taken in hand and the necessary measures adopted to eilect a thorough reformation in this particuli THE NEW POSTAL CAR SYSTEM, Under an arrangement devised by Postmaster General Randall, there went into operation on the 13th inst. a_ new system of postal distribution which will undoubtedly prove a great conservator of time, besides being an economical mode of transferring .n bulk the United States mails.
