THE STRIKE AT TROY

A few weeks ago the young wo.
men at the cuff and collar factories
Of Troy, New York. struck for high
er wages, and not getting them
vent into a lockout. These girls
were getting FROM $40 to SIS
week. They spent several weeks IN
idleness, and lost the hight. But
there are other losses to pc sum
med up. They lost in wages when
they might have earned, the sum
Of s625,OOO. This is the total OF
losses estimated by various New
York papers. resulting directly ana
indirectly from useless strike.
There are other curious things con
nected with this fight, which are
coming to the surface
There are three grades OF collars
m,deinthe factory. The first grade
is purchased exclusively by wealthy
people. and the girls who make and
finish the collars get higher WAGES
than the rest. because larger
profit is made on the goods.
These girls look with contempt
nnon the girls who make cheaper
collars for the middle class, and ioi
the same reason the makers OF md
die class collars never speak to OIL
associate with girls who make col
lars for laborln. men.
There is a perpetual warfare be
tween these three classes ri worklns
Girls. and caste in the business Is
set m and recognized. The rirl'
who make the cheap collars simpl,
do not get as much pay as the oth
ers. because the la5oring man wants
a cheap collar and will only pay the
cheapest price.
The girls who make these collars
and growl at the wages shouio
blame the consumer and not the
manufacturer, for the manufactur
ers of Troy have demonstrated thei'
willingness to pay higher wages fol
the making of goods upon which
they realize good profit. A younf
girl making from so to SIS week
where the cost Of living Is cheaI
has no cause to strike, and If tht
working class would study the
laws Of trade more carefully the!
would 6ud that the consumer regu
lates the price Of wages PAID II
manufactures. If the consumer:
would pay 10 cents piece Tor col
lars where they now pay ., tn
manufacturers could easily pa,
double wages
TIE losses to the strikers wer
enough TO have started an indepen
cent factory of their own.

nd more pleasant to the cultivated ear

Rnd more pleasant to the cultivated ear
than good, pure language. yet there is
certainly strong temptation to use
slang phrases. They express so much in
such strong manner. Slang is the
language of the common people who
are only accustomed to words full of
meaning, and there are comparatively
few who do not fall into the way of
using some words not found in the die
tionaries. and more of such expressions
are drawn from the animal kingdom
than is generally supposed.
The dictionary is said to be dry read
ing, changes the subject too often, but
IN reality there are very few books in
which more information and diversion
can be drawn. We can there find,
wrapped in the body of word, whole
poems, bits of history, the love of the
ancients, the depravity of some nations,
the elevation of others, how new worlds
arise and old ones die, and, best of all,
we are stimulated to a study of other
languages and other people by the thous-
and fragments of their languages found
there, as the geologist rises through the
