in connection with the department Of
archaeology Of a British Columbia col
lege, is collecting data from which he
proposes tdAhow that tho Indians Of tho

whether the wax found at Nehalem is

to forge n missing link in his chain Of

that point
It has been shown by careful scientific
analysis that the wax is Of mineral orr
gin, but it may be said in this connec-
ton that tho substance is to oil appear

THE HISTORY OF THE STRIKE

THE history of the present trouble
is as follows. The Pullman
Car Co.'S. shop men struck for
higher wages, after having had
their wages reduced abopt one
half by three different cuts. A
man named Debs, the president of
a comparatively new organization
of railroad employees, the Ameri-
can Railway Union, thought he
saw a chance to gain a standing
for his order which it had not
hitherto possessed, and ordered
his men throughout the United
States to refuse to handle trains
to which a Pullman car was at
tached. This, he thought, would
have the twofold effect Of, first
bringing such pressure to bear on
the Pullman company MS to make
them grant increased wages to
their employees, aud, secondly, to
show the power Of his new organi-
cation, and thus give it a standing
and influence among railroads and
their employees generally. The
railroads, with one exception,
refused to stop hauling Pullman
cars, and the strike became gene
raj; mails, express, freight and
passengers have generally ceased
to be transported by rail through
out the country. The govern
ment insisted on the mails being
carried through, passengers want
ed to move on to their families
and their business, and hungry
people wanted food which the
food-producers wanted to send to
them. In order to effect these O.
Ijects attempts were here and there
made to move trains. But the
strikers and their sympathisers
blocked switches, pulled'engineer
and fremen off their trains and as.
saulted them, and committed 9th.
err outrages. When deputy mar

ONE of the strongest reasons for
hoping that the strike may not last
very long is that the regular un-
ions of railroad men, such as the
conductors, engineers and others
are not taking part in it, and in
fact repudiate the American Rail
road Union altogether. RESPONSE
BILE railroad employees have told us
that the A. r. u. is not recognized
by their orders, and that the strike
is largely an effort on the part Of
Debbs, the president of the A. r.
T., to create a standing for this new
and unrecognized union. More
than this, that the A. r. u. il

not heretofore been recognized al
