COST OF THE sTRIKE.

The Pittsburg Times quotes Secretary
Chew, of the United Nailers, as follaWs;
when we entered upon our strike on
Juae /, last year, we had no permanent
organization aud had 50 u in our treasury.
Since then we have begged and borrowed
between 5000 and $27, 900, and although
we have only 900 members, have had TO
relieve 5000 men. OF this sum the nail.
ers themselves have not received more
than per cent, showing that they have
taken care of all those on strike through
their action"
What are the prospects, OF the strike?
ut seems likely to last long time yet,
Gs there ia 10 change in the situation at
present One fact has been established
beyond a doubt, that the power OF the
Western Nail Association is gone, for Of
the $500 machines in the West it now con-
trolls only 300, while 400 are running at
our scale. | think the union msnutsctur-
ers will find it necessary to form an as
ISOLATION Tor selfprotection, as the Western
Nail Association is likely TO soon attempt
10 squeeze them out, in order not to be
suueezed out itself.

The Escaped Prisoners.

Workhouse Superintendent Maloney has
as yet heard nothing of the five men who
made their escape from the city prison,
Tuesday night. There is no doubt but
that they made tracks for the Ohio side OF
the river as soon as they got beyond the
walls of the institution. The escape was
effected by the aid of saws made from case
knives with which the prisoners cut the
halfdecayed plsnks oftheir prison house.

They also want US to move our camps OF

We have been informed by gentlemen

ting less for our labor than any other gang
Of o pc line ditchers in the country Sixty
eight of US went to work this morning and
some Of the boys had to work in water up
10 their waists, so after taking everything
into consideration, we held meeting thit
evening" Jerry Myles' gang numbering
thirty five men and Anthony Lallys gang
numbering thirty.three men, and unsni

The Pipe Line Ditchers Conceded Every

The sixty-eight men employed IN the
work of preparing the ditch for the recep-
ton Of the pipe line Of the West Virginia
Natural Gas Company under the Superin'
tendency of Messrs Jerry Miles and An
thony LsllY, and who went out on strike
Tuesday morning for an advance of TWEEN
t7.fve cents per day, transportation to and
from camp, removal of the camps on the
contractors time, and free transportation q
supplies from stations 10 camp conceded
every point asked for yesterday and return
ed to work. 1t seems the men were work
ing for less money than any of the ditch
diggers in this portion ofthe country, and
this fact, together with other peculiar hard
ships, induced them to make the demand
they did.
The following letter from the camp o
the men will furnish an insight into thu

Excess Invites Reyressf,,. .

A democracy has difficulties
enough of it's own 10 contend with,
without waAtonly imperilling its ex-
isteHce by importing problems of
alien origin. We cannot without
detrfment to ourselves and cur insti-
tutions, adopt Bismarckian methods
Of repression; and the ansrchial ten
denotes, which are the result Of these
methods, require nors heroic RENE
dies than our laws at present pro-
vide. One ounce of prevention, as
the saying is, is worth a pound Of
cure. A law to prevent the impor-
tation Of undesirable immigrants
would, II passed in time, avert future
dangers, not by solving the labor
problem, but by making 1t easier of
solution.-Pr@. H5slmar Hjorth

The julius Tower.

The celebrated julius tower, con-
tanned the German war treasures, is
in the innermost defenses of the
fortress of Spandau, near Berlin
This treasure is inspected annually
by two officials, in company with
the commander of the stronghold,
and the entrance is affected by sim
ultaneous insertion Of two neatly
made small keys. The door once
opened, they entered the rotunda, in
which are stored the 100000, 900
marks hard cash reserved for the
empires emergency. This enor-
nous sum is divided into twelve
parts, every one Of which is again
subdivided into ten sections, con-
tanning each. 100000 marks put
in ten bags of 100000 marks each
two thirds in 20 and the remain
ing one-third in 10 mark pieces
At the inspection the part and the
section to be counted are chosen at
random, detachment of soldiers
being detailed for the annual work
of the count, which is pretty quick
ly disposed of. After going through
two or three Of the bags, this party
of the revision is considered suffi-
cient. Then comes the turn of the
remaining three imperial funds
namely, the invalids' provident, the
fortifcation, and the parliament
building fund, mostly represented
by bonds, with interest coupons at
tached, the numbers, series, ETC., of
every one of which are closely col
lated. This done, the inspection re-
port is drawn up then and there,
signed by both inspectors, the two
KEYS are once more inserted stimuli
taneously to allow them to get out
of the enchanted tower, and the an
nual task is at an end. The, weight
of the treasure is estimated at above
five thousand tons of gold and sew
enty tons of silver, and this vast
amount is always held in reserve for
urgent military purposes.
