HANCOCK.
one OF the funniest strikes on record is re-
ported from Brooklyn. The Brooklin Cam.
ing company IN that town made large catches
OF small herring last week, and were doing a
thriving business, putting up "sardines." A
part OF TINS work is performed by children,
many of whom are not more than Q ar IN
years of age. On one of the busiest DAYS of
last week. the children worked we'll dnr;no
all the forenoon, but the herring were small.
and 1t took good many of them to fill a box.
and as they are paid BY the box for their ser
wees their work, no doubt, seemed rather dis
couraging. Noon came and the children were
sent home to dinner. One o'clock came, but
no children appeared. The managers were
perplexed but they waited with As much pa
thence as they could command, but still no
chlldren came At length the proprietors be-
gan 10 look about them. Children were seen
on In boats, peeking around corners and hid
ing behind barrels or other objects, but no
demand was made for higher pay. The pro-
prletors caused proclamation TO be made
that II the children would come back and 20
10 WORK liberal increase would be made in
their wages. The strikers, male and female,
promptly returned to their several tasks, the
wheels of business began to revolve, and have
run ever since without jar or friction. The
children work with will, their faces all
aglow with happiness; at ''ten cents box"
they are on the road to wealth.
