erocers' clerks are the last worklnSmen 10
strike. They wish eigft hours, and are trying
toinduce universal cooperation. The Eve
irinpPost has q long article on the subject, In
which it states that s3,Ooo,oOo worth of pro-
jected building operations were stopped on
account of contractors not being willing to
enter into engagements likely to be vitiated

difricult to estimate the damage incurred by
the employers, but the workmen find now
thew. are the heaviest losers. There have
been but few instances where they reaped
eny substantial benefit. On the contrary,
thev have in most cases wasted their accumu-

debt.
