A Question of Endurance.

A special from Bay City to a Detroit paper
saws:
The strike seems TO have settled down to q
test of endurance. The strikers say they can
hold out as long as necessary and the Knights
of Labor will keep them in supplies, which are
coming in by the carload from various parts of
the state. The mll-men haT plant ii them
selves on the proposition to run their mills
without dictat.ol from outsiders and are will
ing to await the result. They say they will
make as much money with the mills lying idle
as If they were running. Business of all kinds
Is paralyzed. The question will supplies
continue to pour in TO support tn thousands
of idle men and their anili,s. II is well
enough now, but what will BE- the result when

The Outcome of the Strike.

The week ending July 90 was the third week
since the strike was inaugurated in the Sag
inaw Valley and sixteen days since the mills
shut down. Three shingle mills and two saw
mills at East Saginaw are In operation and five
mills are running at the other end This leaves
seventy eight mills and nearly as many salt
blocks idle. A low estimate places the daily
pay roll of these mills at 1900 from which
the money taken out of circulation In the last
three weeks may readily be computed IL Is
not alone this loss which the working element
has TO sustain, but the stoppage means 1885,
100000 feet OF lumber less in the production
of the season and corresponding decrease In
the output OF logs next winter Nearly every
branch of mercantile trade is suffering from
the idleness of these giant industries How
long ii will last is problem not easy OF So
luton. While there are ear marks of a
slight weakening Of the strikers, they
possess confidence in their ability 10
hold out indefinitely, and an effort Is to be
made to effect union of engineers
sawyers and filers. skilled labor that cannot be
easily replaced. If it should succeed the strike
may be prolonged. Many of the men say they
Others demand concessions which mill owners
are unwilling TO grant 1t cannot be denied
that the men have some grievances, but their
mistake was in going out at a time OF great
depressi, n, and when the labor market is over
stocked.
The salt block o! Warner d Eastman, which
was shut down by force and two of the men
nearly killed by the strikers has started again,
also the mills of Bliss Bros, and G. L. Grant
d Co. This will greatly weaken the cause of
the strikers, and 1t is intimated they viii use
every effort TO prevent any more mills from
starting.
All of the ,puties have been discharged BY
the sheriff, and the strikers are well behaved
and quiet IL Is believed that the turning
point one way or the other is near at hand.

ut the Lime-kiln Crossing be made 400 feet
wide instead of 300 as at first contemplated
In the Saginaw river il is propo ed TO secure
a channel OF 200 feet in width with depth of
fourteen feet from Saginaw Bay TO Bay City
and twelve feet thence 10 the head of the river,
a distance of about twenty-three miles.
Hay Lake channel, in the Sault Ste. Marie
river, Col. Poe says, should be deepened TO
twenty feet.
He thinks fully seven years will be occupied
In accomplishing these results and 1t will be
well to remember that the Improvements will
not become available until the whole is COM
pleted.
A large appropriation is recommended for
the improvement OF 81. Marys Falls Canal and
the river between Lakes Superior and Huron.

way that the work of preparing to take care of

and lockage system could accommodate shall
