While strikes would seem to have
the call" just now, there is much evil
dence that as q chief means of secur-
ing redress for Labor's wrongs it has
already been relegatcd to the rear. The
iron molders recently settled some
very difficult questions by compromise,
and in it's last issue the Iron holders
Journal, the official organ of the craft,
says: at is always gratifying to note
a forward step taken by labor or
ganization, especially when that organ
ization is our own. The Iron Mold
ers' Union is recognized for its vigor
and ability to put up good fight, but
we are not welded to the principle of
strike in the settlement of disputes,
and the notion that it is the only re-
course has become antiquated All
modern thought and tendencies GER
tainly point toward the furthering of
concillatory methods between en-

be held to apply. Before the case in
uuestions-Lyons VS.. Williams-was
decided it was generally understood
that what was called peaceful. picket
lug was legal. That Is to say, that
when a dispute was in progress be-
tween employers and workmen 1t was
permissible for the latter to beset In
groups the entrances to the works OF
the employers and endeavor to induce
by argument and persuasion any new
corners to refrain from entering. This
course was pursued in the case under
consideration. The plaintiffs applied
for an interlocutory injunction, which
was granted by Justice North and con-
firmed by the court of appeal. They
then applied for perpetual injunction,
which was granted by Justice Byrne
and confirmed by the court of appeal.
The defendants then took the prelim-
mary steps for an appeal to the House
of Lords. That appeal has now been
withdrawn. The English law, there
fore, now is that strikers may not
watch or beset the establishment or an
employer with the object of dissuading
other workingmen from entering his
works, but may do so only for the pur-
pose of communicating or obtaining
information. The ruling of the court
of appeal was a very great disappolns'
ment to the leaders of the unions ami
their final decision not to appeal
against it is regarded as an acknowl-
edgement of the hopelessness of their
case and as a most significant victory
for the employers.

Not one cent of taxes has been paid
to the State Of Kentucky since the
present trouble began. Soldiers are
stationed at the door of the auditors
office, as we'll as at the doors of other
State officers, so that no public bust

atty is imposed on the banks and large
manufacturing enterprises for failure
to pay taxes at the proper time. IN
order to escape this penalty and to pre-
vent their money from falling into the
hands of the wrong person, this money
is placed in the State Bank of Ken

preventing either party to the contro-
versy from collecting the funds.

Great Salt Lake of Argentina.

In the province Of Cordoba, Argen-
tine Republic, is great salt lake,
which recently has been surveyed by
an Argentine surveyor. The lake Is
fifty miles long from east to west and
thirty-one miles wide at it's broadest
point. The average depth is from IL
to 16 feet. Some fish live in the lake
but they are small and do not thrive

Of the water, which is per cent So

This tale is told concerning the eth

A discussion was going on in a Mel

a corps of bushmen to the front. One
of the company. evidently a sufferer,
clinched the discussion by observing:

Strikes Everywhere.

The columns of every large newspa>
per contain accounts of all sorts OF
strikes in about all parts of the land.
Some are big, some little. Some are
due to a desire on the part of em-
ployes to obtain better conditions, 9TH
ers have been set on foot to resist op-
preston, and the imposition of bur-
dens heavier than those heretofore
borne. Thus, in Chicago, street rail-
way employees proposed to join in a
movement to reorganfze the organiza-
lions disrupted after the great strike
of 1894. Mr.. William Mahon, chief OF
the Amalgamated Association OF
Street Car Employees of America, was
expected to come from Detroit, Mich,
to begin the work. The employing
companies said there should be no gen.
eral union of their employees, and
frankly announced that they would not
permit its formation. BY. way OF en-
phasis they made a new<working or
der. 1t put the work formerly done BY
three shifts of men onto the shoulders
of two shifts. This heightened the
days work for each shift to II hours,
for which only % cents extra was al
lowed, and threw one-third of the men
out of employment. 1t is not difficult
to see that this sort of thing will not
do in Chicago or elsewhere. There may
be long fight, but in the end organi-
cation will win, and all parties to the
business of running street cars will
have voice in determining hours and
wages.

where panic follows close on the heels
of prosperity, like cat chasing its
