 they must have regular and prompt conn pensation. It is stated that there are in the Birmingham district something like 35,- 900 laborers. To these wage earners is paid out monthly about $15 900. This is an in- crease over the number of men employed a year ago of 15 per cent, and the wages paid to labor have been increased some- thing like an average of 20 per cent. That there is work to do and money coming from it. is evident from the condition of the street railways which run frequently and in a crowded state most of the time over a hundred miles of line. Like the cars on the steam roads, they have their separate compartments for whites and blacks, each sacred to the use of the color assigned to
 it. The Ensley line no more meets the demands of the traffic in the crowded hours than do the railroads, surface and elevated in New York city, and the growing is quite as audible and persistent as that heard in the metropolis.

In the county alone there were recently pretty nearly 4,0OO ovens, operated by different corporations, and now not quite able to supply the growing needs of the district. These ovens can produce nearly 100000 tons of coke a year.

DOCK STRIKE ENDED.

The Men wln All Their Demands, Get 40
Cents An Hour.
Dock strihersa at Portland went TO work
Thursday morning upon four Of the
principal docks at 40 cents an hour. This
ends the strike in favor Of the men. II
is only matter Of time unil the other
dockowners Gave" and they will prob
ably pay the advance by tomorrow.
The docks which put men to work
Thursday morning are the Victoria,

is understood that the Elevator is also
paying the the advance.
The men quit work abouta week ago.
They we're allowed 80 cents an hour for
loading vessels and handling grains in the
warehouse. They maintained that was
too little pay compared with the charac-
ter OF work they were required to do and
struck for 40 cents an hour regular time
and 90 cents overtime. Only the truck
met were interested. The weighers,
scalers and others who work alongside
OF the truckmen were not included in
the strike. Because OF the reticence of
the dockowners it was impossible to
learn definitely the exact terms of the
agreement by which the men returned
to work. II is not known il the men will
receive SO cents an hour for overtime,
bat is is reasonable TO suppose they will
get extra pay for overtime. At any rate
the men have won their cause in secur-
ing 4O-cent'anh hour schedule for reg,
ular time.
