THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
1t Has About Completed It's Investi
cation of Strikes, and Will Nov

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 20.-The de-
partment of labor has about completed it's
investigation of strikes and lockouts that
have occurred since 1887 upon which it has
been engaged for many months past. This
report will not, however be published be-
fore next spring.
The next subject to be investigated by the
department is the influence Of machinery
on labor. Congress has appropriat ted $10-
600 for this because authorizing the of
the regular force of the bureau. The
work of inquiry will begin in November.
The growth of machinery and it's use will
be looked into. An elaborate comparison
of the cost of commodities under the old
hand system and under the machine system
will be made. The relative productiveness
Of labor under the two systems will be
shown, and comparisons of wages under
the two systems will be made.
Beyond this a resolution of congress calls
for an inves tiga ton of the modern indus
trial condition of women and children. The
wages that are paid them as compared
with men, how far their labor displaces that
of men, the sanitary conditions under which
they labor and the provisions for their
comfort

tlonal From IL a. m. up to noon the mar
ket held stubborn with but little trading
done. Early cables advised of an easier
tone in all British and continental mar
kets. Shipments from the Baltic and sun
