Census Report ON the Member Of Success
fpI Rvd UnSuCosSSful Strikes,
WAsuISaToS, D, O., April 23-The ad
vance sheets Of the report Of Joseph d
Weeks, expert and special agent of The
Census Bureau upon strikes and loCkoutl
occurring within tho United States during
the calendar year 1880, have been re-
ceived by the Interior Department, The
records show, he says, that many strikes
and loGkouts grow out ot the most trivia
cause, 1t is true, especially where large
nodiea OF workmen are gathered, that
there will always be found men
who too frequently, from sinister and
mRTCenary motives, create disaenslon and
endeayor to inaugurRte strikes. When
strikes are In progress their duration Is
liable to be prolonged BY the efforts Of
such persons, Yet the tendency as stated,
is toward less frequent strikes and lock-
outs.
The number Of strikes In certain OF the
prominent cities as given in the report Ia
az follows; Iron and steel industries 2SG ;
coal mining 1853; textile trades 46; cigar
making 42; building trades SO tfansporta.

Consumers must tRy the Fiddler for the

NEW YoRK, April 2S.-The strike Of the
workmen in the Williamsburg sugar re.
tinesies has doomed prices, and the con.
sumers must pay the fiddler for the dane G
Of the strikers. Granulated sugar wal
quoted at 6Ic on Saturday last and yester.
day reached 7tc. It Is said that prices are
sure to advance still higher.
The stock Of refined sugar on hand
amounts to practically nothing. Business
has been slack and dealers have been buy.
ing sugar In quantities Just sufficient L
supply the demand. Now that the coun
try demand has increased the strike hal
caused prices to advance out OF proper
ton 10 the natural course OF trade. Raw
sugar was quoted at 1.10c on April Il
and yesterday 1t was 5Ic. This shows q
slight advance In the cost OF the raw ma
terlal, which Is not accounted for by the
present strike, but which will account fol
something Of the advance In the price o.
refined sugar. The strike, however, has
tended TO very much strengthen the ad

CHICAGO, LIS, April 9s.-The switch
mems strike on the Lake Shore Railroad i
at an end, An order was issued at 5
o'clock by Chairman Staple directing the
sWitchmen to report to the yardmastsr in
charge Of the Forty-thlrd, street yards.
President John Newell, Of the Lake Shore
road, said to q representative Of the Asso-
Clated Press: Eve have allowed the old
men to 20 back at their own request
without any stipulation whatever on our
part, The eight non-unlon men return to
work along with the union men as for
merly in our employ, The men brought
here from other cities will not be put to
work in our yards here"
The order for the men to return to work
was telegraphsd from the general offices
Of the Lake Shore Company at $3.50 r, NJ I,
and within ten minutes the switch en-
gines began to leave the round house aud
the making up Of trains was at once
begun, The blockade will soon be ended
One OF the striking switChmen at the
yards declared that the Lake Shore oitici-
ais had agreed on their part to dispose Of
the non.unlon sWitChmen in some man
nsr within the next ak months by plRC.

otherwise caring for them.
AtSP. NJ, engine No, 4B had pulled out
Of the round house manned by crew OF

ing OF hands and Congratuation among
the men, and everybody seemed pleased
When the strike ended the ques-
sion whether the strike WIS the re.
suit OF q Capitulation on the part
Of the strikers or whether the com.
pany had RCceded to the demands of the
men was purely q matter OF conjecture.
Both sides claimed the victory aud there
rested their case. They offered no ex.
planAtlon, The strikers aud their
friends, however, were In most lubi.
liant frame Of mind all day, and when the
terms OF settlement were made known at
secret meeting In their hall, they Cheeret
until the building trembled. The de-
neanor Of the railroad officials was In
marked contrast with that OF the strikers
all ot the officials were glum and taCiturn,

ored to elicit from them the basis Of the
settlement.

Mr., O'Neil, OF Missouri, said that the
arbitration bill had been discussed by the
House for four days, Not one word Of
partisan bias had been injected into the
debate. II had passed by tour'hlths
vote, it had been reported unanimously
by q Senate Committee. 1t had been en-

Mr., Springer, Of Illinois, supported his

on Labor was the proper committee to
consider that message. He had moved
