Gasworkers Union, who at their anniver-

urate the series of summer open-air

STRIKE IMMINENT. The weavers Of
the Providence and National Worsted
mills have requested permission to strike,
and the District Council is now consider
ing the request, but hesitates about grant
ing it, as it may cause a general shut
down at all the mills at Olneyville. The
Providence and National Mills, which are
under one management employ 900 oper-
alives. The employees say they will strike
unless their wages are increased. Chas.
Fletcher, one Of the owners of the mills,
is one of the leading members of the
Manufacturers Club, which recently de-
cided to close every mill in Olneyville
should strike be ordered in any one of
them, thereby throwing 1900 operatives
out OF work.

THE W0RKINGMAN DONKEY.
By THOMAS MORE.

A donkey whose talent for burdens was
wondrous,
So much that you'd swear he rejoiced in

One day had to jog under panniers so
ponderous
That down the poor donkey fell fat on
the road.
His owners and drivers stood around in
amaze,
What! Neddy, the patient the prosper

ways,
For every description of jobwork so
ready.
One driver (whom the ass might have
hailed as a brotheO
Had just been proclaiming the donkey's
renown.
For vigor, for spirit for one thing or
other,
When 10! midst his praises the poor
donkey fell down.
But how to upraise him; one shouts,
tother whistles,
While Jenky the conjuror, wisest Of all,
Declared that an overproduction Of this

CHere the ass gave a stare) was the
cause Of his fall.
Another wise Solomon cries as he passes:
There. let him alone. and the fit will
soon cease;
The beast has been fighting with other
jackasses
And this is his mode of transition to
peace.
Some looked at his hoofs. and with
learned grimaces
Pronounced that too long without shoes
he had gone.

But others, who gabbled a jargon hall

And declared that, whoever might prefer

They'd shoe their own donkeys with pa,

Meanwhile the poor donkey, in torture
and fear.

And. what was still dolefuller, lending ar
ear
To advisers who ears were a match

At length a plain rustic, whose wit wen

passed:
Quick! off with the load. all fools as "
