agricultural labores in Canterbury yes

duction of their wages IN Kent and Sus-
sex, it was stated that 1000 laborers had
already struck, and that the number
would be increased to 5000 IN a few
days If the masters persisted in their de-

The Strike of the London Masons.

The great strike of the London stone
masons, which has practically ended in the
defeat of the strikers, after contest of
half years duration, which is said to
have cost the union some 100000, will
always rank among the most memorable OF
such demonstrations. 1t broke out TO-
wards the close of last summer, the work
men demanding 10d. an hour instead Of
3D. The employers brought men by bun
dreds from Scotland, the Continent,
America even, while the central committee
shipped them back or paid them full
wages to quit work. Six hundred and
fifty men were kept on strike pay, $4.5 SO a
or child. As the employers of 400 men
had been unable to hold out aud had con-
ceded the advance, the local managers had
large fund to draw upon, and the amount
of money drawn, the method of its expen-
1itures and the result, all form an inter
estiug chapter 10 the economies Of strikes.
There were 1911 strikes in Great Britain
last year, of which very few were success
full. The joiners of Carlisle stood out
| twenyt six weeks and then counted them
selves well satisfied with promise of an
extra half penny an hour three, months
after date. They were fortunate indeed

Austria.

Austria.
Our readers cannot have failed to notice
that all the advices from Vienna indicate
curious diversity of opinion in regard to
the position Austria should assume in tho
great European quarrel now pending.
This is partly due, we think, to what may
be called the mixed makeup of the
nationality. Austria has two political
divisions: The German monarchy, or
Cislelthan Austria, with an area of 5,2l6. SO
square miles, and population of q ,0OO,-
0OO; the Hungarian kingdom, or Trans
Lothian Austria, with an area of 5000 A
square miles and q population of about
l5,600.000 At the last census the Ger
mans constituted 50 per cent of the in
habitants of tho Cisleithan part of the
empire, and Is per cent. in the Trans
Lothian part. The Slavonian race formed
40 per cent. Of the population in the Cis-
Lothian. and l6 per cent. 10 the Trans
Lothian division. The Magyar race con-
stituted SO percent. of the population of the
kingdom of Hungary, and LILO per cent. of
the Cisleithan part OF the empire.
Although these three races have lived
under one government for centuries, dwelt
side by side in peace and fought side by
side in war, they never have been, and
probably never will be, Thoroughly united
in feeling. The Germans have small
sympathy with the Slavonians or
the Magyars, the Slavonians quite
as little with the Germans and
thee Magyars and they stand aloof
from both the others. The Magyras, and
We may say all the people of Hungry. hate
Russia with inextinguishable hatred for
the share she took in the suppression OF
the Hungarian instruction of lS48; while
the people of the German monarchy, Aus
tria proper, are rather friendly than other
wise to Russia. The hold of the Austrian
always been slight since l848 and severe
shock from within or without would break
it entirely. Since the establishment of a
German empire under the leadership OF
Prussia, the Germanic provinces have not
been quite as certain in their allegiance to
the house of Hapsburg as they once were;
and it is among the not very remote
possibilities that they will, sooner or later
| transfer Ethis allegiance to the house oil
HohenZollern.
1t will be readily seen. therefore, that
Austria must move very carefully in the
present crislS. She cannot join England
against. Russia until sure that Germany viii
not join Russia; nor can she afford to lei
Russia appropriate European Turkey
because her own territory might suffer
next. Austria is between the Russian and
German mill-stones, and if she plumbers il
liable to be ground as fine as poor Poland
was. Her location and the peculiar char
acter of her population are sufficient
excuse for her hesitating policy. Blu
should Austria step into the ring of battle
she will be a formidable antagonist. He1
