rnE NEWS BOYS on A AsrRlKE.

The news boys iniugdrated a strike
against the Dispatch yesterday afternoon,
and tits still in nfull force. The point at
issue is the price Of the papers rate, at
which II has heretofore been sold to them
is 30c per doz. They assert that il will pay
but 20 cents, that being the price Of The
Evening Republican. The Dispatch offered
10 compromise on 2 cents per copy, but
the boys stand out and swear that they
will not yield. Every. newsboy in the
cityis in the strike, and so far they have
prevented the Dispatch from being sold on
The street. The result Of this is that
the largest part OF the usual edition
OF the paper is being sold over the counter
OF the Office at the usual price, while the
boys set on the opposite side Of the street
vigilantly watching the press room door
to prevent any papers being sold there
from and put on the street.

Nearly all the labor Of women Is per-
formed by the piece, consequently the
amount OF money they can earn depends
solely upon their capacity, natural apti-
tude, and physical endurance. For in.
stance, there are few women who can earn
more than 81 a week working button
holes, while the majority would be able
to earn S., and an exceptional one S..
The sameremarks hold good in reference
to women in other occupations.
In the matter Of female "help" the
Tribune makes the following remarks:
For manr years the female "help" have
had things their own way, and up to 1874
wages steadily advanced, until few girls
we're willing to live out for less than $lt
month, and many asked Sl6and ever
SlS. Enforced economy, however, com
PEELED many families 10 reduce. the mum
ber OF servants, and in many instances the
housekeepers are doing the work them
selves. The intelligence offices are now
crowded with women and girls, seeking
situations, and who are. willing to hire
ont for Sl0or $l2 a month. Good cooks
are most in demand, and these obtain thu
highest rate Of wages.
Asto the comparative value Of earn
inss now as compared with 1870, The iFi
buae has this to Say: = -
Comparing the amount OF the reduc.
tion made in the wages Of mechanics with
the decrease in the price Of the necessa.
ries OF life and house rent, 1t is apparent
that the condition OF men having regular
employment Is better to-day than in 1870,
1871 or 1872. For example, in 1872 .
barrel Of flour, Estate" brand, cost SO so.
the lowest price in. the market. This
week the quotations for the same brand
were S. SO and S3 75. This is a reduc.
ton Of 40 per cent. In the case Of many
other staple articles similar reduction
is shown, particularly in tea, meat and
butter. Comparatively the purchasing
capacity Of mechanics wages to-day
exceeds thatin 1872: As there are now
thousands out OF employment, II is
thought that the present rate OF wages
will not be retained another season."
