The Massachusetts bureau of labor
statistics reports for 1895 a gain over
1894 of 9 per cent in the number of
men employed in that state, and an in
crease Of 11la per cent, in their wages.
For 1896 the showing may not be so
good. because of the fact that it was
a presidgntial campaign year, when
business Invariably suffers. But there
appears to be no good reason why
during 1897 the foregoing ratio of i'm
provement should not be increased not
simply in Massachusetts, but in the
country generally. Politics is out of
the way; the fears of capital are at an
end so far as national legislation Is
concerned; the deck is cleared for ac-
tion and there are plenty of opportuni-
ties for the profitable investment of
money. Let us again have prosperity.

at the church parlors on the forenoon of

Mrs 5. q. Sargent. TO whose efforts at
the start. and patient continuance
through all the years, the society. more
than to any other agency, owes its exist
ence. The church parlor was tastefully
decorated. the platform being trans
formed into a green and fragrant bower
with throne-like seat for the queen Of
the occasion. A delicate and substantial
lunch was served, while there We're sweet
songs and other exercises by several
children, one OF whom. let 1t be said, was
a boy.
Among the out-of-town guests was
Mrs. j. .. Smith of Skowhegan, who gave
an earnest appeal for the work. This was
followed by an interesting history of the
formation of the local society and its
progress through the years, by Mrs

Probable Cause.

Referring TO the resignation of
Harry Fox, superintendent of the
Iowa division of the Rock Island
road. the Davenport Times says:
While no specific reason has been
assigned for the retirement OF Mr..
Fox, it is understood that il was
largely due to his handling of o
dead engine at Oxford. Instead
Of disconrecGiug certain machinery,
as is usually done in such cases, it is
said that the locomotive was attached
to train and hauled away without
taking this precsution, the result
being considerable hard usage of the
engine valves. Mr.. Fox was in
charge at the time snd the response
hility therefore devolved upon him
It is likely that the recent wreck
on the West Davenport dump also
had something to do with the request
for his resignation.

STRIKE AT STEEL WORKS.
sixty Lnborers Walk Out Today and DE-
mxnd Higher Wages.

Sixty laborers at the Sylvan Steel
works struck this morning. They
demand an increase Of wages. 1t APP
pears the men decided to walk out
before laying their grievance before
the officers Of the company, for when
a committee of the strikers returned
to the mill end sought a conference
with Supt. Tatnall, they were in
formed that they had not proceeded
in the proper manner in not consult
ing him before determining to walk
out. The superintendent thereupon
ordered the men OFF the island, and
told them that he did not care to hear
them.
The strikers consist OF three
classes Of lsborers. Those who wor K
by the day demand an increase OF
from 81 % to $l.50; the fagot makers
ask an increase Of S5 to SO cents n
ton, and the straightners ~ to s.!
cents ton.
The steel works gives employment
to $50 men. A number of the s,rik-
ers are members of the Federation OF
Labor. The skilled workmen have
given notice that they will not work
with scaos, and the prospects are
that all thu men at the mill will
walk ont unless the present trouble
Is adjusted.

There is no truth in this. While it
is true that few of the people OF the

wish and hope that this might be
done. most, even of the gulf state

They had intended to turn over
things peaceably-so they say. It's

Fulton Story.
The following story was sent ont
from Fulton to the Chicago paper.
last night: "Judge Gest, Of Rock
Island, went to Morrison by special
train today and forbade the clerk OF
the circuit to issue any more injunc-
tions granted by Master in Chancery
McPherran On the grounds that the
lstter had no right to grant them
while there was a Judge in the county
who could act. This, of course. is
to prevent Fulton from obtaining
another Injunction against the re-
moval Of the Modern Woodmen
Offices, and so prevent them from
taking it into court. The fight is
not yet ended. Judge Gest was to
have heard at Rock Island in unction
No. 6 against the removal Of the
Modern Woodmen OF America head
quarters tomorrow. but he now in
tends to remain at Morrison in the
effort TO prevent the Woodmen here
from obtaining another injunction.
This change of place of hearing from
Rock Island to Fulton, practically
without notice to Fulton's attorneys,
has excited great indignation. As O
result special train bearing many
Of Fulton's prominent citizens has
gone to Aledo, H., tonight tc
lay the matter before Judge Frank
D. Ramsay. They hope to get fur
Their stay of proceedings. A report
from Rock Island states that Judge
Gest has ordered or requested the
militia of that city to proceed to Ful.
ton for duty tomorrow morning.
Everyone in Fulton and the vicinity
is on the alert, and there is little
doubt that exciting scenes will bt
witnessed here tomorrow"
A report had gained currency tina
Attorneys Andrews and McCalmon;
would apply to Judge Bigelow for ar
injunction this morning, but no such
application was made.
