II coming events ever cast shadows before the
early dissolution OF the remaining fragments OF the
trades unions is about to eventuate. In fact,
since the first grand success of the metal
workers, which, like previous displays, burned
brilliantly for while only to end in
smoke, they have had little or nothing
to nourish hope. TIE golden reports from Bridge
port, New Maven, Philadelphia, Rochester, Albany,
BufYalo and Boston all turned to rust. Preferred
aid have been deferred. Dissensl0n and disintegra.
tion has taken the place Of harmony and union,
and now resolutions Of even tho most desperate
dourage and obstinacy contain no hope for
them. The two elght.hour leagues may hold
ont another week. That the metal workers will
there can be no doubt, as the money from Cleve-
land has not arrived and few win return to work
till after that Is divided and their share Is In their
pockets. When 1t mas been distributed and they can
only look forward TO weeks OF darker uncertainty
even than the past ones, they will, no doubt get
employment where they can, and the strike Of May,
list Of August win hardly awaken it again, though
sncn is the result hoped for by the
Manufacturer, and '' above '"e all to tie men@
poor In this worlds goods, and with
too well fed even in the best OF times-is the sad
result apparent OF the strike That there are other

changes That they win be for the better for all

which is some consolation. Such Is life.
