There have been some faces that the
wood cuts in the Gazette newspaper seems
to have embeIliShed, but this cannot be
said of the face of Mr.. Thomas Newton,
which appeared in Thursdays Gazette.
This portrait proves the mournful fact that
one may be pictured" but remain totally
unlike the physiognomy labeled with his
name. Mr.. Newton has too fine face to
be A6Ied in this way, and his keen acumen
and persistence might prompt legal redress
for each stony-eyed representation as the

BAY CITY, Mich, Jan. S-The situa-
ton is about the same here that 1t has
been for the last month, only getting
worse bv degrees. There are more men
out of employment this week than last.
Ice men were laid off last week by warm
weather. The new year came in cold
and stormy, and brought reduction to
the ship carpenters, of 10 per cent. They
have been getting S1:5O and have now
dropped to $1.35. H.. ..l.ss. l.
We understand that Wheeler has sent
to Buffalo and Cleveland for men.
There haye been many clerks laid of
since new years, for the purpose OF
cutting down expenses. &
Briscee's box factory has started up
since our last report. the firm has
adopted a plan of "no admittance ex'
cept on business" The workmen are
recognized as mere machines.
Men are being arrested for yagrancy
and sent to the work-bouse for sixty
and ninety days each. +,
This is good place for printers, ship
carpenters and all kinds of labor tc
steer clear of. There is no work of any
kind to be had. The tailors, shoemakers
coopers and carpenters are nearly al
idle at present. c. B.

Business is rather dull in Golden at
present, but there seems to be few idle
men around. The men in the railroad
shops are very Lusy, and great deal of
overtime has been required during the
past few weeks to keep Up with the re-
pairs on running stock. The mines and
smelters are busy. though the forces are
not large in any of these works.
The thing which struck THE ENQUIRER
man most forcibly was the fact that so
large number of the resident working
men owned their homes, and right pleas
ant homes they are. This was happy
situation to one fresh from landlord

Never was there . better chance to make
the business profitable. and they know
my statement to be true. They do not
attempt to deny this fact, but still they
insist upon their own arbitrary way Of
running business. Time will tell that
this rule or ruin policy will not bring in
the dividends to the stockholders, and
that If they wish to have themselves put
upon record properly in this matter,
they will do wisely to igititute an inves-
tiaation as to the reason why the strike
is indefinitely prolonged. We estand pre-
pared to go into arbitration. If they say
their mines will not pay to run upon the
increased rate Of wages, we stand pre-
pared to run their mines upon the CO.

a legitimate interest on their capital be-

ST. LOUIS, Jan. sc Confidence is gradually
being restored among manufacturers and
business men, mainly owing to reports in,
the newspapers of resumption of work in
mills and factories further east. HereaDouts,
however, there is nothing very encouraging
so far. Rumors are in circulation in the
cigar trade of approaching trouble, and a
special meeting of the trades assembly is
talked of. The cigar makers, and manufae
turers held another meeting on Sunday to
discuss and ,denounce the proposed Spanish
American reciprocity treaty, but it is not
known what connection, if any, there is be-
tween the fears of the manufacturers in re-
gard to the treaty and the reported trouble
in the local trade. H..
A meeting of delegates from the various
unions and assemblies of the Knights of
Labor was held at Central Turner Hall last
Sunday, for the purpose of arranging for a
combined labor demonstration early in the
spring Nothing was done beyond perfect

4 P1TTsBURG, Jan. There wilFbe quite
a number of mills, ETC., started up this
week, which is a hopeful sign. Ward &

street, startled up on Monday. On Mon
day the Cambria iron works started up
giving work to 5000 pon-union men,
The National rolling MILL at McKees-
port (non-union) started up on Monday,
after shut down of two weeks. Oliver
Brothers & Phillips Tenth and Fifteenth
street mills, on the South Side, were put
in operation in all departments on Mon
day. Lang & Co.'s mill, at McKee's
Rocks. was put in operation in all Its de-
partments on Monday. The mill has
been idle for about six weeks.
L The theatrical business, it seems, suf
fers with the cut in the way of reduction
in wages. Pittsburg has been the point
where many actors found their wages re-
duced, the last being the YOUTH com.
pany, owned by Tomkins & Hill, the
milllonaires of Boston. The leading
man, Wesley Coulter, had $25 a week
knocked from his salary. There was talk
of strike, but it did not occur.
