To tell the truth, the pleasures OF Fourth

race, idealistic and illusory; there Is n sort
OF effort to get some fun out OF what isn't

Fourth OF July comes with real unadulter-

THE CHICAGO butchers are learning
by sad experience how foolish it is to &c
out on strike without taking into &C
count the consequences. OF those who
went cut in a passion few weeks ago
5000 are still unemployed, al d i is be-
lieved that theywill have to leave the city
to get work. During the ten days of the
strike the men lost in wages $3.50. 900. It
is true, the packers are estimated to
have lost an even million, but their
loss was no gain TO the strikers. The
railways and business men lost s 90, COO
by the strike. but this did not help the
strikers. 1t is little comfort TO a man If
be is starving, TO hear that others are
hungry. The total direct loss of the
ten days strike foots up to 81, 700, OOn,
none Of which can ever be recovered.
