An UnproAtable Weapon.

The first number of the bi-monthly
bulletin provided for by the last con-
gress has been issued by the federal
department, under the direction Of La
Dor Commissioner Wright. One inter-
esting feature of It Is a review of the
strikes and lock-outs in the United
States from Jan. 1, 1881, to June 80,
1894, prepared by the commissioner
himself. From this 1t appears, accord
ing to an abstract by w. f. Curtis, that
there have been 1880 strikes, involving
SO, 1877 establishments and 3,714,4O6 per-
sons thrown out Of employment, during
the period named.
The largest number of strikes was in
1890. when the total reached 1888; the
lowest number was in 1884, when the
total was only 443. In 1885, however, the
number of establishments involved in
strikes was smaller than any previous
or succeeding year.. For the first six
months of 1894 there were strikes in
5,154 establishments, indicating that II
the same proportion was continued
during the year 1t would reach in
round numbers to 10000. slightly more
than for 1886. when 10.053 establish
ments were involved in strikes-the
largest ever known. During the first
six months of. 1894. 4S2, O66 persons were
thrown out of employment by strikes,
which number was not reached during
ny.previous year except in 1886, when
the total was sos, 044. In fact more than
one-fourth Of all the persons thrown
out OF employment by strikes during
