Why WORKJNG1ES STRIKE.
Labor In the Rolling Mills and In the Mines
Laws not EnfUrccd.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Dec. 21.-The report of
Commissioner Walls Of the Ohio Labor Bureau
contains facts aud figures OF interest both to
workingmen and to capitalists. The reduction
~ wages in the rolling mills since 1872 is from
10 to 80 per cent. Mr.. Walls after speaking Of
the severity Of the work in rolling mills says
that there is not mill reported as having any
place where tho men can keep n change of
clothing SO that they will not be forced to walk
home in thor working clothes. saturated as
they are with Precipitation, and that il the men
are not frequently i'll II Is due solely to- their
good constitutions rather tlnn to tho fore
thought of their employers. Many Of the mill
employees are reported rs owning their own
homes which IL certainly the best test Of their
frngality and Temperance.
From table giving the earnings discounts,
and net earnings OF eighty-lour miners for six
months. commencing Jan. and ending June
3o ~, repres'hting sixteen counties and one
third OF the mines i'll actual operation. II is con-
cusivcly shown the average earnings for those
eighty-four mon was hut $13i.sl or n monthly
average per man of $22.7l, or weekly average
of sj.1S. There Is q law in existence allowing
miners TO appoint and pay check weghman Mt
cyery ninc to see that the operators deal fairly
with them. and yet singularly enough. while
there are 800 mines. there are but three
check weighmen. In some cases tho minors
the operators disobey the law by refusing TO
allow them about the scales. This would be all
vide penalty for such cases This il one Of
the most persistent complaints Of miners who
insist in some case that they are dcfrauded out
OF good share OF their earnings by means OF
false returns from the scale. Another cause of
bitter complaint IS that in many localities whilo
tho operators sell nut coal at good prices the
miners arc not allowed pay for anything but
clean lump There is certainly justice in their
objections to this rule. inasmuch as the amount
OF nut coal taken from the mines averages from
seven TO twenty-five per cent. OF the total
amount mined. and is practical reduction Of
wages to that extent.
Mr.. Walls urges arbitration az one Of the
prime factors IN the prevention Of strikes. and
rccites numerous cases t. prove that employers
nnyc been unwilling to submit 10 arbitration the
q differences between themselves and their em-
plOyees which led to serious trouble. which
might easily have been avoided If the capitalists
had been willing to meet their employees half
way. He holds That the time when The word or
dictation Of an individual or corporation can,
Tor any liked period. FIX the wages of their men.
has forever passed away. and that any such mr.
btrary attempt must, sooner or later. he resist
ed. and adds And 1t should b. resisted, no
matter what the resistance may cost"

The big theatre on the west side is doing
pioneer work in the matter Of popular prices
and II Is Il significant fact that 10y adhering 70
melodrama and by keeping its entrance fee
within moderation 1t has succeeded in filing
its vast auditorium with visitors. Mr.. Chan
frau. who this week is playing the stirring
drama Of " Kit 80 over there. has no difficulty In
securing popular assemlages."
Something in the player. no doubt something
also in the play, attracts the multitude. But
after all We are forced TO believe that neither
the player nor the play would SO attract in other
theatres whore the prices are higher Man

pertinent. and no fear Of its results rs indeed

BROOKLFN's NEW M.IRBLE EDIFICE.
The Report OF the Investigating Committee ON
the Execution Of the Work.

An investigation was started by Alderman
Murtha of Brooklyn. some time ago. into the
manner in which the contracts for the new
100000 municipal building. which has been
erected in Joralemon street to accommodate the
city offices. have been executed. Mr.. Murtha
was at first member Of the special committee
having In charge the erection Of the building
but he disagreed with his associates and re-
signed from the committee. Thenceforth he
kept the committee that remained in charge OF
the building in hot water. The committees
business was principally directed by Aldermen
fISler ana French, who We're endeayOring by
making the erection Of the building an excep-
uonnlly honest Job. to obtain for themselves Il
good Introduction into public favor They were
forced 10 build according TO the appropriation
and they consequently had to put some ginger.
bread adornments on the work and TO paint n
Zinc cornlce TO represent marble. They avrrred
however. that no matter what else the work was
il was all honest
The investigating committee. which reported
yesterday. sustained the committee in chnrgc
were good that the work was done in u work
manllkc manner anu that, considering tho
amount appropriated. the tuiding would COM
pare inNorahly with anY work OF the kind in
any other city. The fire proof material. about
wnlch there was some question, is pronounced
10 be good, and about Whatever defects there
are in the erection OF the building, there was
awide difference OF opinion by experts. Tho
city ; interest. the report says, mad been well
guarded by the Building Committee. which has
performed lis work honestly, faithfully and in
diligently, and - entitled to the thanks of the
Common Council.
The report was unanimously adopted.
