The Cost of the Strikes

Neto York Special to Chicago Inter Ocean.
Four weeks of the strike have gone bv.
There are about $500 freight handlers
still standing out for 20 cents an hour.
which the railroad companies will not
pay. Had the strikers remained at work
during these four weeks they would
have received, at the old rate of II cents
an hour, an average of $40 per month
each. ForfeitiDg this, they have, there
fore, lost in wages up to this time an
aggregate of $4,000 lin order to
support themselves and their fami-
lies during this interval they have
drawn from their accumulated funds
on graduated scale, based
upon their condition as single or married
men, sums ranging from So TO So per
week, or from $15 to $50 per month.
Averaging these amounts the result is
an aggregate of from $40, 900 to $50, 600
to be added to the sum of $780, 900
actually forfeited in wages. The total
loss to the workmen alone has therefore
certainly not been less than $500, 900,
and it is increasing at the rate of at least
Sc, 600 per day What the rail way com
panies and the merchants have lost by
detentions and the decay of perisha-
bic articles, it is as yet impossible
to estimate, but it was brought out in
the course of the argument before the
Supreme Court yesterday that the total
approximates 81 100000 per day. An
interesting incident of the present freight
handlers strike is that the different rail
road companies disbursed for this class
of the service in round numbers 500, 900
per month during the six weeks that the
strike has been in progress, the strikers
committee have collected, as stated by
one of the strikers, about 5000, which
the leaders claim has been divided among
the men.

He Would Lose in Pork.


An incident, related to illustrate the
simple honesty of the natives of
sister State, who are represen ed as be
ing people whose promise may always
be relied upon, is as follows: "In the
rural portion of the State referred to
there is man who is an acknowledged
leader in politics in his district. and
among his followers is fellow who has
considerable influence with the hummer
element. The first mentioned man has.
among other worldly goods, quite
number of hogs, and the other fellow
used to shoot one of the pOrkers when
ever he wanted some meat, because il
was easier to supply bacon this way
than to hustle for it. The boss
politician knew full well who it was that
was killing his pigs, but, not wishing to
lose the support of the fellow. he never
prosecuted him. The thing got so
monotonous. however, that Something
had 10 be done to stop the slaughter: so
one day the boss said to the offender:
Say, look here. l want you to quit
shooting my pigs. l desire to allow
them to grow to a proper size before
they are killed, and | want to kill them
myself. II you will give me your word
That you'll not shoot any more of them,
Ill agree to give you 500 pounds of pork
year. What do you say? Is it a bar
gainT All right, replied the other: I
give you my word that I'll not kill any
more OF your swine on the terms you
propose; but after pause, IN lose
pork by it,"
