STRIKES IN ENGLAND.

A report by Mr.. j. Burnett, labor cor
respondent to the Board of Trade, on
the strikes that occurred last year has
lust been issued. From this it appears
that in 1899 strikes took place in 1874
establishments in England. AS in 1882,
and for the same reasOn-namely, a
rising labor market-67 per cent. of the
strikes were due to claims for advanced
wages, although in some cases there
were other points of disputes also in
volved. Of those for advances in wages
As 3 per cent. were entirely successful;
the proportion of those partially success
full was 3l.5 per cent; 1917 per cent.
were not successful, and the results
were unknown in the remaining strikes.
OF the financial aspect of strikes some
interesting particulars are given. Taking
597 OF the strikes, the loss of wages is
estimated at e652. 900, while the loss to
each individual would be a little over
GO IS. For $50 of the strike the loss for
the 344,S40 persons engaged is taken at
81 122, 500. In 215 instances it is shown
by employers whose men have been on
strike that the value of fixed capital laid
idle was Ga, 10000, Upon the whole
the report shows that the workingmen
of England have gained decided advan-
tages during the year under review, and
that the loss of wages which they
suffered during the strikes was small
compared with the increase obtained
during the remainder of the year.

which "exertions for the amelioration

POLITICAL ACTION.

A telegram from Chicago dated Dec.
%, announced that the Socialists of that
city, under the leadership Of Thomas j,
Morgan and irrespective Of established
organizations of local or national cha
racter, held joint meeting on that day
and passed "a resolution. declaring that
there is a necessity for united labor
party in Chicago, which will work on
the lines laid down and so successfully
followed by the Socialists of Germany.
An organization with this end in view
was effected and will be perfected at
another meeting, to be held next Sun
day. This news agrees with our private
adviCes from Chicago, bearing an earlier
date and forecasting this action. The
movement is in good hands and cannot
fail to exert a powerful influence on the
wage working class, not only in the
great city of Bonfeld, Old Hutch. legal
murder and pestitential corruption, but
throughout the West and, for that mat
ter, throughout the country,
Chicago must and shall be in line with
the Socialist movement of the world in
1893. On that condition only can an
International Labor Congress be held
there in that year.

In the meantime we learn, as we 60

THE LARGEST FARM.
1t Is Hundred Milss in Length and
Fifty Miles in Width.

In the extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana lies the largest producing
farm in the world, measuring one hun.
dred miles north and south and twenty.
five miles east and west. IL is owned
and operated by asyndicate of Northern
capitalists. The $1,000 900 acres of the
tract were purchased in 1888 from the
State of Louisiana and from the United
States Government.
At that time it was vast grazing
land for the cattle of few dealers of
the neighborhood, over 30, 600 head of
half-wild horses and cattle being thereon.
Now this immense tract is divided into
convenient pasture stations or ranches.
existing every six miles. The fencing
alone cost in the neighborhood Of $50.
OO9. The land is best adapted for rice
sugar, corn and cotton. All cultivating'
ditching &c, is done by steam power
A tract, say half mile wide. is taken
and an engine is placed on each side
The engines are portable. and operate a
cable attached to four plows, and under
this arrangement thirty acres a day are
gone over with only the labor of three
men.
Narrowing, planting and other cnl-
tivating is done in like manner. There
is not a single draft horse on the entire
place.
Of course horses are used for the
herders of cattle. of which there 16 O00
head. The Southern Pacific Railway
runs for thirty-six miles through the
farm. The company has three steam
boats operating on the waters of its
estates. of which there are three hundred
miles navigable. 1t has also an ice
house, bank, a shipyard and a rice
mill.-Spdre Moments.
