A novel method of settling a
strike was recently adopted by the
proprietor of a broom factory at
Duluth, Mimi. The moment the
disturbance broke out he raised
the wages of all his married EN-.
ployes, and gave the single men
notice that they would not be
wanted after the end of the month
unless they were married by that
time, IN which event they would
be retained at an increased salary.

we shall know better when the
month IS up; but at latest advices
the men had all gone TO work, and
the unmarried ones were sklrmish'
ing around for wives. The prOprie-
tor of the factory has certainly hit
upon an original expedient which,
If it does not fully solve the labor
problem, will, at any rate, encOur-
age matrimODy, and at the same
time create an increased demand
for brOOms and brOOmsticks.

about fifteen hundred majority.
Between protection and low tariff
Virginia seems to be a close state.

All there, gOvernOrl For gra'
