The New York Sun says "The
strikes that have taken place in this coun-
try since the beginning of the year 1ss7haye
numbered about 1000, and of the 400, 900
men engaged in them from 25, 900 to 1000
men are still out.''
For he week ending April I, there
were shipped over the l.. & S. division of
the G. r, R., of N. j., 1867 tons of coal,

tons, an increase of 57,771 as COMPARED
with same date last year.
They are talking of another strike in
the Hazleton region. This is the scheme
which is now suggested by labor unions:
That the men be ordered ont of one colliery
at time; that the strikers-as many of
them as possible-get work elsewhere, and
those who can't do so will then be support
ed by their brethren who have secured
steady employment. In this way It is hoped
to stand out the individual companies.
Labor Commissioner Peck, of New
York in his fifth annual report, delivered
last week said: ''Strikes have helped to
raise wages, TO shorten hours, to improve
the condition, not only of the particular
workmen who haye risen up in protest
but also Of the masses" He estimates
the loss in wages to have been S2,019, ,229,
and that s217,069 was paid out of relief
funds. The loss to the employers he est.
mates to have been $1,124,214. To offset
these losses he says the wage-earners gain
ed advances which gave them S944, ,632
more during the year than before where
the strikes were successful, and thoy lost
$142,5SS where they failed.
