SOUNDS OF HONEST LABOR. Busy World. EARLIEST OF AMERICAN IRON. Short Talks with Artisans as to What They Think the Workingman Most Requires to Hia Condition Ivon in Amerien. THE early oty of iron man- ufacture in the Unite States is of intorest. ear 1607 1itthe Virginia ool ~ony was planted at Jamestown, and three yoars later Sir Thomas Gates (as quoted by Bishop in his his- tory of American nufacturers) stated before a committee of parliament, that various minerals were found in Virginia, especially iron ore, which liad been tested in England and found to produce as good iron as any in the world, In 1619 the company sent to the colony a number of select workmen skilled in irou- making to set up three foundries Chey se- lected a location at Falling Creek, not far from Jamestown, and at once procecded to excoute their mission; but, whether they built three foundries or not the world has not been anformed. In 1621 three of the master workmen having died, the company remforced the “works” by ding over twenty experienced workmen, under the direction of John Berk- loy and his son, who were expert iron mas- ters. The enterprise appeurs to have been successful, i the main, for Berkley, in his colonial history, says that the iron proved reasonably good, thougn they had not got into the body of the mine. Bat in the disastrous massacre of 1622, the Indians killed most of the workmen and dis- troyed the works, and the company made no attempt to rebuild them. Tho “works" at Fallng Creek was prob- ably a catline forge or bloomery, which re- quired no great skill nor expense for its erection. It is not improbable, thercfore, that iron was made by the Virginia colony, s 1020, and this was evidently the first fruits of our iron harvest. The iron at Palling Creek is brown hematite. It is strango tnat an industry that opened with prospects 8o flattering ‘should should have been suffel to sleep for nearly a century before any efl was made to revive it, but colonial history makes no mention of iron works 1 Virginina after this till the year 171 his. the general court of Massgchusetts Bay granted to Abeabamn Shaw one-half the bonetit of uny coals or iron stone which might be found in any ground belonging to the government. Under this charter bog iron ore was discovered at Lyon, and speci- mens of it taken to London toinduce the for- mation of a company to manufacture iron from it ‘This was successful, because in 1643 one of the Winthrops came from England with workmen and capital to the amount of £1,000 ana erected a manufactory on the western bank of Sangus river. A villago sprang up bere by the name of Hummer- smith. In November, of 1641, the goneral court granted citizens the privilege of taiing stock in the enterprisc, aud gave thew three years n which to perfect their work and furnish the country with all kinds of bur ron, pro- vided they would complete both fiuery wnd forge, as well as the furnace, which must have been already set up. The company was eranted eighteen square miles to foster the new industr; In 1645, they reported to the general court that the work was very successful in ‘rich- ness of orc and goodness of won,” and aiso that several toos of pig iron had been cast and ready for the forge. Ou this report, the general court granted still further privileges to the company of undertakers for the foundries, on the condi- tion that they would create and operate six furnaces, not bloomeries, and that they woild furnish bar irou of all sorts at a price not to exceed twenty pounds per ton. This Massachusetts.enterprise led to the successful erection and working of blast furnaces for mnaking castings for vhe various practical vses to which that form of the metal was applied, and reducing pig iron to bars of wrought iron under the forge ham- wer. “This may be regarded as the pra troduction of iron manufacturing into the United States. In 1648 Governor Winthrop wrote that the iron works at Lynn ran eight tons per week and that their iron was as £00d as the Spauish ir Between this and the year 1675 furnaces were erected at Bramtree, Taunton, Tops- field. It the latter part of the seventeentn century Lynn was s celebrated for its iron manufacture as it has since become for its production of shoes. Pots, kettles, and other household utensils wero produced at the Lynn foundries equal o those imported from Europe, and as early as 1650 Joseph Jenks engaged i the manu- facture of scythes and other edge tools, and about this time, by order of the general court, cannon were cast and finished at Lynn for the defense of the colony. In 1656 Captain Thomas Clark put.into operation a factory at New Haven, Conan,, under a guarantee of the assembly that such an institution should be exempt from tuxa- tion, and history in 1070 avers tuat the enter- flourishes ‘There were iron works, more likely bloom- eries, at Pawwcket, Rhode Island, as early as 1672, and subsequently several others were started, all of which were destroyed in the Indian war of 1650, In 1664 Henry Leonard, one of the first iron workers at Lynn, removed to Shrews- bury, New Jersey, and set up an iron forge, and in 1676 a grant of land was made to Col- onel Morris to encourage the erecting of a smelting furnace at that place, which went into successful operation 1n 1630, The chron- icler states that the early ron works of New England all used bog ore, but that th ew Jersey enterprise used the specular or mug- netic ores of the Orange moufitaius, (1o be Continued, ) ical in- ‘The Plumber's Appreatice, **I'm & sure enough journeyman now, and don't you forge: it," quickly ejaculated a Young man as he gave the top of his panta- loons a pull, and stepped from the basement of a down-town plumbing shop. His remarks were addressed to a fellow workman who was waiting on tha outside, “How loug does it take a fellow to serve Lis apprenticeship as & plumber!” “Four years,” What pay do you get at first?" All you can, from #2 o week up, don’t ‘learn ‘auything the first yer, except plumber’s slang.

" But you UNIFORM WAGES. “‘What the workingmen need most,” said Cobarles Hunt, the painter and puper havger, “‘is uniform prices for both wiater sud sum= wer. Hor instance, iu the summer time, the men get §2.75 per day. In the winter, when the work commences 1o drop off the number of employes is reduced about one-third, and, in some lustances, one-balf. ‘'bis naturally ives us a surplus of tradeswen, The bosses, uowing that tuere wre plenty of men, at once cut prices to almost nothing.
