LITTLE CHANCE OF STRIKES.

Tho Outlook for Peace in the Field of
Labor Is Good.
1t is hardly likely that Jersey City viii
be disturbed by any more labor strikes
during the coming summer, now that the
bricklayers' demands have, on the whole,
proven unsuccessful.
Had the bricklayers come out winners
it is possible that considerable trouble
might have been looked forward to and
that the carpenters would have taken
steps to benefit themselves in either money
or hours, or both. and would have been
followed by others ia the building trades.
but Tor the present at least the chances
OF any conflict between capital and labor
are remoter than they were q fortnight
ago, or even week ago, and people who
have been considering the advisability
OF building houses this summer, bat held
OF because of the possibility Of delay
through strikes, are pIuckinz no courage
and preparing TO carry out their original
ideas.
The result viii be that In the building
trades, particularly on the Heights. plenty
OF work will be obtainabie Carpenters
and painters ara particularly ia demand
Carpenters in this city are deeply In
terested Ia the movement now going on
IN Bayonne for shorter hours and more
pay, but there appears to be little danger
OF any disaffection spreading here. On
the Heights, where great deal of build
ing Is now going on, not more than fifty
per cent. Of the men employed are con-
nected with either the Carpenters and
Joiners' or Carpenters and Trainers
Associations, and those who are
not do not appear 70 be DESTROYS Of join
ing either organization or OF making any
claims from the bosses. AS the men ap-
pear to be generally satisfied, it gives
binding and healthy impetus.
May WIS not observed as Labor Day
in Jersey City, although on Union Hill
quite number of s.reds1 made a mani
hesitation. as they do annually on that
date. A number Of Socialists from that
section and few from this city, Hobo
ken and BayonDe took part in the parade
in New YORK. but as they have few SYM
pathizers on this side of the river their
movements failed to create even ripple
of excitement.
Since the Mckinley bill went into op-
Grafton. there is one class OF workmen
that appears 70 be out in 4 cold, unsym-
pathetic world, with no prospects for the
future. They are cloth examiners
There was u time when these men made
+, good wages, but il the words of one Of
/ that fraternity, at present looking for
work, goes for anything. that period has
| passed.
81 have not done a storke of work for
| four months. said one of these men yes
terday. although ! have made applica-
lions for situations in every large factory
and wholesale house in the East /
thought had secured a job in Connecsi-
cut short time ago, but when [ went
to inquire about it, | learned that they
! had imported an Englishman who has
gone to work for SO a week.
w lille the Mckinley bill has put money
in the pockets of the manufacturers. Il
has thrown men like myself completely
out Of business. because the stuff they
manufacture when there is little or no
competition in trade Is of SO low a grade
that an examiner becomes super1uitF'
