AN ALDERMANIC CLUB.
Chicago VIII Have the First Organ
fzation of This Kind.

Chicago. Dec. 15.-Forty members Of
the city council with Mayor Harrison,
Commissioner of Public Works Nc
Gam, and City Electrician EllicOtt as
their guests, sat down to a banquet at
the Grand Pacific hotel last evening.
When the eating was done they took
the necessary steps to organize an
'Aldermanic club, which is to meet
at dinner once a month and over the
cigars and wine. discuss whatever sub
Ject of municipal interest which may
be uppermOst- Citizens connected in
any way with the topic of the evening
will be invited to be present and par
ticipate in the debate.
1t is believed this will be the first
organization of the kind in the country,
is not in any country.
The dinner was suggested by Alder
man Nelson and the Invitations he sent
out bore the motto: No Dress Suits,
no set speeches" It was followed to
the letter except by Alderman Nelson
himself, who carried a typewriter
speech in the pocket of the sack coat
he wore. In it he explained that his
object in inviting the presence of the
aldermen at the dinner was to get
them together where they could talk
over Informally matters Of municipal
interest, and, if not settle them, at least
perhaps learn something more about
them.
Mayor Harrison responded with an
Endorsement OF the idea of a permanent
club.

STRIKE STATISTICS
Covering a Period of Five Years Are
Being Gathered.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Henry T. Bufng-
ton, special agent of the United States
department of labor at Washington, Is
in the city on a quiet hunt for indus
trial statistics, covering specifically
strikes and lockouts for the last five
years. These statistics will be embod-
led in the departments fourteenth an
nual report to congress. Ihe report
Will cover every state and territory IN
in the Union showing every strike,
lockout the number of employees and
industries affected, the wages paid be
fore and after the trouble, the loss en-
tailed by each industry, and the gen
eral conditions resulting therefrOm. The
cause of the trouble is also to be given
in each case. The report Will cover the
period of January 1, 1895, to December
81, 1899.
Two reports on the same subject en-
bOdying comprehensive data have here

other in 1895

partment." said Mr.. Burlington, will
be, like the others. comprehensive and
accurate For that reason it viii be
valuable. While I am not at liberty
to give out any specific information as
to what the report will show, l may say
from my observation of the industrial
field that it will show a marked de-
crease in the number of strikes and

to 1900, compared with the other two

have found that the wages paid by the
industries tend to grow better. The pri-
mary cause of the improved conditions
is the general prosperity throughout
the land.
THE law of supply and demand is
tending to an equilibrium, and where
that is the case there is less likely to
be dissatisfaction. Another potent fac
tor in the diminutiOn of strikes and
Iockouts and other labor troubles is
the increased intelligence of the labor
organizations. There seems to be
better mutual understanding between
organized labor and organized capital,
and they are more disposed to come to
an understanding. whereby much trou-
Bile and loss to both are averted-'
Mr.. Burlington said the department
of labor had completed its report on

throughout the country. and that this
would be issued during the present ses-
sion of congress. In this report, he says,
the original cost of building and oper-
ating such plants, together with their
values, loss by depreciation, earnings,
etc, is shown.
