LABOR BUREAU.

Early Closing of Haoiories on Saturday.
 The state bureau of labor statistics secured replies from hundred manu- facturing concerns regarding the effect of early closing on Saturday. Of these concerns eight are hat factories, of the year round; one closed at 8 o'clock all the year round. and one closed at noon for three months of the year. Of these factories one employs 200. one 150, one 100, and two 60 hands, and the rest smaller numbers. The plan of early closing was adopted by four factories in 1890, by two a year later and by one in 1892. Every one of the factories re- ported a reduction in weekly wages ex- cept in one where all the work was piece work. Seven of them reported no effect whatever on piece earnings, and one reported 0 reduction proportionate to the reduction of time; six of them reported no effect on the production per employe, one reported no effect in the proportion per employe except where machinery was used, and one reported reduction in production proportioned to the reduction in hours. Of the entire hundred factories more than one-half reported no reduction of production fol- lowing the decrease in hours; thirty one reported a reduction proportioned to the decrease of time, seven a slight reduction, and six a reduction without defining it's extent. Altogether it is ev- ident that the early closing had next to no effect on production where employees were paid by the piece, and much less than the proportionate effect where em- ployes were paid by the week.

The Chicago Gas Company's Case Taken
 Up,

Chicago, Dec. 3.-The Gas Trust in- junction was taken up in Judge Show alters court to-day. The issue is on an injunction ito prevent the proposed consolidation of the Chicago Gas com- pany into 8 trust. The bill is brought by Pitt Barrows of Willimantic, Conn.,, bondholder of several of the local companies. The trust was attacked by Attorney General Maloney and since then it has been seeking some means of evading the force of the antitrust law. The scheme was adopted calling for the consolidation of the various companies and a committee appointed to take the matter in hand.
 It is this proposed consolidation that Pitt Barrows attacks on the ground that it is g. virtual resumption of the old trust under another name. He as- serts that the act of the legislature of 1889 prohibits the consolidation of more than two corporations in the state. This is the principal issue in the bill.
