Seven hundred laborers are now EN-
ployed ON the new lines of railway be
tween Klllorglin and Cahlrclyeen.
The promoters have not as yet made
terms with all the owners of the land
through which the line is to ran, and
this has to some extent been an impe-
diment. In this district the laborers
are very badly off, and in one place,
called Caragh, the poor law guardians
intend distributing one hundred tons OF
seed potatoes. Employment is ve1y
much needed all along the route.

strike at the condensed milk factory,
goes on as before. and now there IS a

sight to SEQ a city so much in want OF
EMPLOYMENT reduced to such a position.
