The payment Of licenses for the sale
OF liquor-wholesale and retail brings
quite revenue monthly into the treas.
ury. One hundred and forty-nine
establishments for the sale of liquor pay
license to the amount of $3.50 pei
mouth. or an average OF $4,000 per
anuum.
1t is computed that the increased pay
demanded by the telegraph strikers,
some 5000 in number, in the United
States and Canada, would amount to
50, SAC, 900. This is not much for such a
rich corporation to pay, but there APP
pears to be a great deal of friction
about it.
