It is believed in certsin quarters that tn
country is on the eve of series of strikes
which will permeate ne rly every industry
of magnitude. The recent strike in tits
city of the brewers was probably intended
as the frerunner or the inciter of similar
movements in the came class in other I ,rge
cities. but the example Of the New Workers
does not seem to have been followed.
There are now said to be several large
bodies of miners in Ohio and Pennsylvania
out on strike, and reports from one
locality asser: that 5000 men have quit
work. A circu'ar was issued this week by
we known detective agency. and sent
to all the leading officials of the various
railroads throughout the country, to the
effect that the agency was in possession of
information that mot comprehensive
strike is contemplated on or about the LIST
of July by the whole force of locomotive
enginee, s; that the arrangements for the
strike we're being rapidly perfected; that
they might possibly delay the movement
until the LIST of August, but that a strike
for material advance in wages had been
determined upon, which, from its far-reach
ing effect, covering every railroad line
trunk and branch in the country, would
not fail Of being successful. This strike,
it is believed, will carry all the working
forces upon the railroads with the en-
gineers, and is believed to be 50 thor
oughly organized that their employers will
be helpless.
In this connection it is also rumored that
tn te egraph operators are forming or have
formed an organization looking to their
benefit, to offset the cut ing down of their |
pay, which has been going on the past few
months. The organization is said TO be on |
