L
ing OF in the Concessions Obtained by
Employes-The Result by Cities.
New York, June 14.-In its report
OF the short-hour movement among
industrial employees at leading cities
Bradstreets recorded the apparent success
OF more than 200, 900 strikers and nom
strikers who sought ten hours pay for
fewer hours work. 1t was stated one
month ago that 100000 employees had
struck for fewer hours at full pay, of whom
10000 had had concessions granted them.
and that 100000 Others had obtained
concessions without having had to resort
to a strike.
Within n few weeks past the statement
has gained wide currency that the eight
hour-or the short-hour-movement had
proved a complete failure and accompany
ing details went far to prove 1T. 1t becomes
ofinterest nevertheless, to learn as near
as can be the extent to which conceded
shorter hours at full pay still con-
tirues in force. Investigation into
thu result OF the movement at
Chicago tends to show that the
apparent success is not so small as has
BEN asserted. There are good reasons, it

those getting full wages for fewer hours

cess attained is more noticeable, in all in
stances full wages being paid for nine
hours work by $4,000 workmen AT
Pittsburgh the outcome of the short-hour,
movement has not been very satisfactory
to the strikers, and the re-
suit gives little advantage to en-
pbyes. At Grand Rapids, Mich, the short
hbur strikes were a failure as practically
npne of the industrial employees there
are receiving full wages for fewer hours
work. At Milwaukee ten hours con-

Furious Rain and Wind-Storm.
GALVESTON, Tex, juno 15.-One OF the
heaviest storms that ever visited Calves
ton Island at this season of the year set in
at shutdown Sunday evening, and ragged
furiously all night. The wind blew directly
from the east torrents of rain fell during
the night, and by midnight the wind had
blown the waters into the bay until the
docks were nearly submerged. AT the
east end and on the gull side of the island
the waves washed the shores with alarming
fury, encroaching further than at any
time since the great flood OF 1874. About
four o clock yesterday morning the gale
reached its height, blowing fiity-five miles
an hour for nearly two hours. Daylight
found the city closely surrounded on all
sides by angry waters. The docks were
now submerged, and railroad tracks
under water, and the shipping scat
tered. At nine o'clock the wind shift
ed to the northwest thus saving
the city from being submerged. The
water of the bay began to recede, and all
danger was passed. Communication with
the mainland was entirely cut off, the first
train crossing the bridge about three
O'Clock in tn, afternoon. Both long
bridges withstood the storm, but the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe bridge was
damaged to some extent. The Santa Fe
track was badly washed for two
miles, approaching the long bridge.
and itwiIl require a week to repair the
damage at cost OF several thousand dol
lars. On the gull side OF the island the
damage to property is quite serious. The
Gulf City street railway lost it's tracks
fronting the Beach hotel. A number OF
small lighthouses we're washed away and
several larger buildings damaged by un.
dermining. Two small coasting vessels
foundcred in the bay No serious disasters
to shipping are reported.

A Conclusive Explanation.

Northern Republicans who wonder
that their party has SO little strength
among the whites of the cotton States
would find sufficient explanation il
they should contrast the condition OF
these States under Democratic rule
with the situation when the carpet
baggers were in power. Take Ala
bama, for instance. When the Spen-
Ger gang controlled the State there
were constant collisions between the
races, the finances were demoraliZed,
the school system was in wretched
plight, and the aspect of affairs was SO
discouraging that many good citizens
were removing to other States. Now
harmonious relations exist between
whites and blacas, the cost of govern
ment has been lessened. the tax rate
has been reduced, and returning pros
perity not only has arrested the exodus
of citizens, but has begun to attract i'm
migrants from other States and coun-
tries. Best of all, the school system
has been greatly improved, and Gov
ernor O'Neal was able to say in his re-
cent message to the Legislature that
"no other State appropriates so large
a proportion of its taxes to public
schools, and in no other is the school
fund so economically handled or so
nearly all paid to those who earn it in the
school-room.' The Governor also gave
the assurance that Gas prosperity gives
them ability, the people will increase
the resources of the school system and
its usefulness IN y Post.
