strikes aud RdmoFs or Strikes Trouble
at the sligo and American Iron Works
The Brieklayers Get what They Ne.
mHnded.
Pitt'OarSh DbPltsh d yesterday.
Strikes Of more or less importance have
been Of daily occurrence since the bust.
ness boom has begun to be felt, but in
most instances the demands Of the men
have been acceded to by the employees, in
many establishments the advance being
voluntary on the paft Of the capitalist.
However, some Of the strikes are not
caused by the question Of compensation,
as is the case at the Sligo Iron Works,
Thirty.third ward, the employees Of which
agreed yesterday to disagree with the
managers. As the story from the employ.
ers' standpoint goes, the firm the other
day concluded to TO start up eight furnaces
on double turn. No objection was made
TO this OF course, but kick ensued when
the old men proposed to make the new
hands take the night turn all the time.
The question has been In dispute for Q
couple oidays, but eliminated yesterday
by the old men being told to 90 to the OF.
fee and get their money, which, Of course,
means a discharge. The case is rather
complicated, and it Is hard to get at the
real facts, and only one side Of the ques.
ton can be given.
Last Saturday afternoon the machInists
OF the American Iron Works made de.
mand for Is cents per day Of an advance.
The wages paid at present range from 81 50
to g 10 per day. With the view OF COM
promising the matter the firm offered l6i
cents advance. This was refused, and yes
terday the men, numbering about fifty,
vent ON.
As announced last week, the Gricklayers
Of the two cities, who have been receiving
3 50 per day, struck yesterday for an sd.
vance Of wages to s. In most cases
their demand for more pay was acceded to
by the bosses, notably in the case Of the
contractors for the brick work on the new.
buildings in the course OF erection on the
northeast corner Of Penn avenue and Sixth
street. The carpenters at this place also
struck yesterday for an increase Of fifty
cents per day, which was at once accorded
them By their employers, the Frazier Bros.
Il was rumoFed last evening thata gen.
eral strike Of the coal diggers for three
cents 3 bushel would be inaugurated on
next Saturday, though the report could
not be traced TO any authoritative source.
The fact that coal dealers have advanced
their rates from seven to seven and hall
cents per bushel added considerable color
to the report.
All the window glass factories will be in
operation at seven o'clock this morning.
The teasers, etc., who have been on a
strike for some time, failed 10 get the ad,
vance asked, and resume at old prices.
The mouldeIs at Il. X. Porter l. Co.
Locomotive Works are on strike for high
er wages.

One Of the mArvels OF the present boom
in prices is the rise Of the stock Of the
Northern Pacific railroad. There are
many persons-at least there have been
mauy-within the bounds OF the INTEL
uGExcER's circulation-who subscribed to
the bonds Of this road before the panic,
and who are now perforce holders Of the
common and preferred stock. This stock
-(particulary the commonl-haS risen
from zero up to commanding fgures, and
promises to go higher. Those who pro-
fess to know say that the road is good
property and will be a great line when
finished.
Speaking OF this stock, We may remark
that it is estimated by New York paper
that the advance in railway shares upto
last week aggregated an increased value
compared with the prices a wear ago of
S22l ,Ol2,OiO. OF this amount SIS, $50, 900
is credited to Northern Pacific preferred
and Sc 900 900 to the common; Sll, O3S, 46T
to Erie common and 81, SsO,lls to the pre-
ferred; $3.50, 0O0toSt, Louis, Kansas City
and Northern preferred and S2,sSO,0OO to
the common; S,99S 900 to Kansas Pacific
$4,000 to Wabash; Sc, $50, 900 to North
western; St. Paul common s5,5I4,OOO and
preferred sS,4O,OOO; $4,000 Rock
Island, etc, etc. 1t is indeed no exngEera-
ton of fact to say that il the advance in
bonds and stock are taken together, it viii
be found that the market value Of the rail
ways OF the United States is to-day fully
five hundred million moIe than it was OF

A word to ohio republicans.

EAlL2n lsIGAlGtneei.
That the conviction has fully possessed
the Ohio Democratic mind that Ewing is
already more than defeated, there can be
no doubt. Ewing goes about the State,
his virtuous cheeks iurrowed with the re-
sistless currents of teas that go dashiug
down his face like great cascades, over the
sorrows, privadous and expressions Of the
idle workingmen, and PROSTATE industries

they puddle their iron ard look

ed, but that they may thus publicly hood.
wink and divert the people, while with q
stu hunt they obtain the real prize for
which they are laboring, viz: the o. S.
SenAtorship.
In anticipation Of the Legislature being
Democratic, for which alone they are
working, Allen G. Thurman is exhibiting
himself about at country fairs and towns
in doubtful counties. Such was the secret
OF his visit TO Belmont county the past
week, and NOT to help Ewing, with whom
