STRIKES IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Nearly Half the Disputes of 1892 Settle
by ConciliatOry Methods.

Nearly Half the Disputes of 1892 Settled
by ConciIiatOry Methods
The Westminster Gazette prints the report
of the labor correspondent of the London
board of trade on the strikes cad lockouts Of
1892 in Great Britain. The total number was
692 OF these 345 were settled either by mu-
tual Cancellation or by mediation and sixteen
by arbitration. The remainder were lost by
the workinSmep. 1t will, of course be re-
membered, says the Indianapolis Sentinel,
narjes to compulsory arbitration as proposed
by all intelli gent advocates of that system.
Notwithstanding the peaceable and salts
factory settlement of so large a number Of
these strikes, the cost of the remainder was
very heavy The weekly loss of wages is esti-
mated at about 80, 400 900. The loss on use
of capital is placed at $4,000. 00O The cost
of restarting works and resisting strikes is es-
timated at 81 100, 900. The known amount of
aid voted by other unions is $500, 900. but this
is only a small proportion of the aid actually
furnished.
The cost alone is very strong argument
against the strike as remedy even if it were
a successful remedy, and the lesson is having
its effect on English workingmen. and the
conclusion of the statistician is therefore
hopeful. He says the general balance Of
results was against the workmen as NAV

Ginning trade. But there is, it seems. a grow
ing opinion. expressed year by year. both
among employers and workmen, in favor of
various forms ofarbitration and Cancellation.

street was built, and the congregation now
worships there. 1t is the intention TO some
day build fine church on this property.
When the Ninth street property is sold the
congregation will be able to commence this
work. The chapel is really church. The
auditorium, with seating capacity OF 200,
and the infant classroom are on the first floor.
The basement has recently been fitted up in
a most comfortable manner, and now con-
tains the Sunday-school room, the library,
and the kitchen. Everything is after the most
modern fashion.
The trustees of this church are i. J. Hill,
W. II. Martin, 7. ]. Wilson. w. r. Kemp, and
o. Nj. Orig. The board of stewards is COM
posed OF George r. Compton, Israel Deming,
w. X. Hill, John w. Swingle, and Stanley
Finch. The membership of the church is
about $780, and the pastor thinks that he sees
a time of great spiritual awakening ahead of
him. In the Sunday-school are found the
workers of the church. At present the at
tendance is eighty. A good library of SOC
volumes is one of the attractions. The officers
of the school are T. j. Wilson, superintendent;

biennial election Of officers. The resolution
was carried by majority Of one vote. This
is looked upon as test, and the fight will be
very close one. In any event. sweeping
change in the non-commissioned staff may be
looked for.
AN EXAMINING BOARD.

day for the first time in two months. Eight

Troop A Is back from camp, and the mem
bers feel like veterans. It was the most sue
cessful camp the cavalry of the District ever
held, and it has started boom. The boys
feel so good over the showing they made and
the pleasant time they had and are so en-
thusiasIic that all their friends want to be
cavalrymen. Recruiting is to be commenced
at once, and before the snow begins to fall it
is expected that the troop will be seventy
five strong. At present there are forty mem
bers in the troop, and every one was satisfied
with this number before the camp, but they
are not now.
Capt Barbour was off on furlough most OF
the time, and Second Lieut.. Beatty was in
command. He cannot express himself in
strong enough terms about the record the
boys made. Everything passed off pleas
antly, and each trooper did his duty uncom-
plainingly and well. One OF the most remark
able features of the encampment was the
march home-thirty-hve miles in seven hours
and fifteen minutes. This over the hilly and
rough road between the city and Marshall
Hall beats the record. The horses were
walked two miles and trotted one. IN this
way SUCH good time was made.
At the regular meeting OF the troop Monday
night the expenses OF the camp will be pro-
portiOned among the men. The amount each
will have 10 pay will not exceed 80. The
government furnished the horses and forage
but the troopers had 10 foot the rest of the
bills. 1t was pretty hard on them, but they
were so enthused that they are going TO en-
tail another expense. 1t has been decided
after this 10 hold a mounted drill once IA
month. These drills will be held somewhere
in the suburbs and each man will have to pay
for his own mount. In the history OF the
troop but one mounted drill has been held,
and the drill ground was in Mount Pleasant.
These mounted drills will become very pop
uar feature. The troop will also accept the
invitation rendered by the authorities OF Bal
more to attend the opening of the exposition.
The report OF Lieut.. Merriliat, Z. S. A., who
acted as instructor at the camp is anxiously
awaited by the troop. He said some very nice
things about the boys. He complimented
them ON the condition OF their equipment on
their drill and their soldierly bearing. The
troopers shot Off all their scores at 200, 800,
500, and coo yards, and with revolvcrs shot off
their scores at % and so yards. Some excep-
tionally fine shooting was done. Officers and
men all unite in saying First Sergt. Simms
was the hardest worked man in camp. and his
officers go farther and say he is the best first
sergeant in any National Guard troop.
