The Industrial League of America has
issued little pamphlet on strikes. The
writer, who speaks for his organization,
takes strong ground against strikes and
urges that all labor toubles should first
be arbitrated. If that fails to bring
about settlement he argues that per-
petual boycott be placed on the employer
complained of. A list of important
strikes which have occurred since Janu-
uary 1, 1882, shows what they cost the
employers. Among them are the follow
ing, with the amounts lost by the en-
ployers:
Western Union strike, 1888. 81 ,000, 900
Glen Cove strike, 1882. $50 600
Steinway piano-makers, 1882 ........ 1O0, 900

ings of a lifetime of vindictive hatred of
everything Irish in a few sentences Of
muadlin palaver on the subject, knowing
the widespread publicity it would receive,
and that any kind word to the unhappy
Irish people, when their hopes of home
rule had but Just been blasted, would be
gratefully received by them. Blaine, as
the head and front of the Republican
party. stopped to the trick Of coming
capital out of the hardships of the poor
fishermen of Maine, by firing windy
abuse at the state department over its
treatment of the fisheries trouble, when
he knew that those troubles were the out
come of his " lingo policy while he
held the same Office under Garfield.
Blaine stopped from his position as the
head of the Republican party, in Penn
sylvania recently, to belle the honest men
of the South, and to falsely assert that
the negro element was being forced to
compete with his white neighbors at a
%ruineus rate of wages, thus hoping to
catch the labor vote, which Logan Dlu

it has been much more so for those whose

Working a Widow.

Some weeks ago a widow moved
into Detroit from town in the wes-
tern part Of the State. She brought
with her bulldog, which showed
game in every movement, and it was
not long before every butcher and
sport in the neighborhood wanted to
buy that dog. The widow word
sell at no price. The next thing to
buy the dog was to get up a fight
between him and another canine of
bloodthirsty appearance, but the
widow wouldn't hear to this.
II want you 10 understand" she
Indignantly replied, "that 1 am a re-
spectacle woman and give no ell
enlargement 10 such thfsgs."
Still there were one or two men
who did not despair. They began
to cOnspire, and as result they led
the fighting dog into barn near the
widows house the other day and one
of them paid call at the house and
said:
"In course we knows how you
feels about this dog-fghting. We
feels the same, but there's a woman
across the alley who owns dog
which she brags on"
"She can't be no lady," was the
retort.
Exactly ma'am, or she wouldn't
speak Of you as she does"
"Speak. of me? Why, l don't
know hcrw
"In course you don't, and 1 should
hate to tell you what she says of YOU"
"But you must! If she's talking
about me want 10 know what she
says"
"But ma'am, you'll excuse me, you
know"
mo, 1 won't! What does she say ?"
"Well, then, begging your pardon,
she makes fun of your red hair"
"She does ?"
"And she ridicules your dress"
"The vixenw
"And she says she never saw such
feet on a woman"
I'll sue her for slanderl I'll see
a lawyer at once~ exclaimed the
woman.
"We've got her dog in the barn,
ma'am. It's dog she brags on. She
was a-saying yesterday that ifher
dog could only get at your dog once
there -"
"But he cant You go into the
back yard and unite Bravo and take
him over therel If he can't whip
any such woman'S dog I'll disown
himw /.
Exactly, ma'am, and you can
trust me to see fair play. The AFRO
giant head of SIGH a slanderful, boas.
ferrous woman should be humbled,
you know, and it's you who'll do it."
The dog was taken to the barn and
he did not disappoint his hackers.
After fight of fifteen minutes he
was declared victor, and as the re-
fierce gave his decision the widows
voice was heard, saying:
Good! That pays her for abusing
my hairl I'll fix her on the big feet
before the week is out!" 90
She had been watching the fight
through the cracks of the barn.
