Nothing Like 1t. 1t Beats the World for
Excellence.
There was quite rivalry at the fair
amongst the different sewing machines
that were on exhibition, but the others
didn't appear to be in it, with the
Singer Sewing Machine they had the
greatest variety of sewing machines
from the Light Automatic used exten.
sively for gloves and umbrella and cap
and hat making down to the shoemaker
machine. The display of needle work
done on the singer was immense, in
fact too beautiful TO be described, but
its nothing wonderful when you see
the machine on which it is executed.
The well-known and deserved popu-
larity Of this excellent machine makes
it one machine of the world and per
haps to this end a brief sketch of the
Singer will not be out OF order:
The Singer factory turns out five
complete machines per minute the
year round Ships from 5000 to l4,OOO
machines per week, the crates for
which use 100000 feet of lumber per
year. One steamer, Edward Clark, is
bept busy transporting goods and ma
terial 10 and from New York, and this
is only one of the six factories owned
and operated by this corporation. The
factory at Kilbowie, Scotland, is as
large as the Elizabethport factory
The other factories are located at
South Bend, Ind; Cairo, Ills; Mont
real, Canada, and Vienna, Austria In
their several factories the Singer com
pany have over forty acres of flooi
space covered with machinery, twelve
thousand people employed in making
their machines, and oyer three times
this number employed in making then
they have their own offices and sal
aried employees in every city in thu
, civilized world.
Besides their three styles of family
/ machines, they make machines TO
over one hundred and eighteen differ

An Interesting Resume Of the Strikes Sta
tistics fot the Past Year.
In the last year there were 191 labor
strikes or lockouts in the State of
Pennsylvania OF these "a we're strikes
at coal mines. OF this number rs we're
at soft coal mines in other parts Of the
State. There we're six strikes in the
Anthracite region distributed as fol
lows: Luzerne 3; Schuylkill > and
Northumberland /.
The Luzerne strikes we're caused 10y
a demand for an increase of wages.
Both we're failures. The SchuylBill
strikes we're both failures. One was
for semi-monthly pay and the other
was difficulty about the price Of mine
supplies. The Northumberland strike
was also failure
II will thus be seen that the anthra-
cite coal region are free from strikes,
much more so than any other section
of the State, but their strikes are all
failures.
It is a common idea that a strike is
never successful. You are always told,
II you are workman; that you can't
point out a single instance where the
strikers won. On the contrary, out Of
the 191 strikes, "a were in favor of the
strikers, three we're unsettled at the
time of the closing up of the figures
4 sfn4 ,.,A,,1Nnl l., A. lcFooN 80 NRo
men.
Coal miners and slate quarrymen
we're the only ones who won. The lat
ter had perhaps the most excellent
reason for striking as thev struck for
back pay and the courts hadn't any
chances to run strikers Of that class in
for treason, and quarry owners who
cant pay their workmen the wages due
them are rarely able to stand up a
railroad for a private car for judges.
OF the 81 coal mine strikes 70 were
ordered by labor organizations.
In list of l64 strikes we find that
32,673 men we're engaged in the strikes
and the estimated loss to the workmen
was s7,O76,2635O. OF this amount 81,
100000 can be charged up TO the ia
nous coke strike in the Connelsville
region. The loss of the employers is
estimated at s9,2G63O94l But in many
cases the employers placed the esti-
mate on their losses while it struck
them harder than the men. Altogether
there were 80 strikes for increase of
wages, % of which succeeded and 76
of which failed.
One Of the greatest strikes in the
history of the State next to our Home
stead strike of to-day and the longest
perhaps is the strike of the Pittsburg
printers. On October lst, 1891, the job
printers and pressmen of that city
struck for a working day of nine hours.
There are 1914 men out to-day and are
as firm as ever The strikers maintain
ed largely by contributions from the
Typographical Union. The strike is
far from being settled yet.

that makes no difference, Ben Kunt2

passed taxing every farmer fifteen to
twenty cents who sold bushel of
