The principal topic of the hour is the
car employees uprising for shorter hours.
Although all the plans are not matured
for general strike, yet enough is known
to the managers of street car lines to
make them feel as though they should do
something to propitiate their men before
1t is too late, and accordingly one COM
pany comes out magnanimously for
twelve hours as a days work with re-
duction of twenty-five cents on days
wages. The shortening of car drivers
hours means the increase Of the force
fifty per cent, which also means an out
lay for expense that bodies no settlement
without reduction in some manner.
Look out for some stirring times here be-
fore long. Something is going TO break,
and It may be car-brake.
The day of small strikes is about over.
Now we hear Of labor movements where
in thousands are interested. and the bow
colt is BEGINNING to be felt whenever IL
is ordered. The educating of the people
by labor aeitators. although wrong in
