for higher wages and shorter hours
of labor, there is q tendency IN all
branches If business to adopt the
same tactics. On all aides We hear
murmurs of discomfort, and they
come from no direction with more
emphasis than from the ranks OF
the poorly paid spreaders OF the
gospel. OF late the warning sects
have evinced a disposition to meet
each other moro upon the level Of

that tho varions UNCONVENTIONAL
bodies are massing their forces for
a general strike to extend all over
the country.
