IT SEEMS remarkable that the labor
ing men of Chicago should be indul-
ging in strike, which has suspended
building operations, enforcing idleness
on thousands of workmen, when the
conditions are known. The building
contractors have been paying the fol-
lowing scale of wages for eight hours
work, with time and half for overtime
and double time for Sundays: Brick
layers, per day, 81; plumbers, 81 ;
gasfitters, 81; steamfitters, 81; plas-
terers, 81; engineers, 81; tilesetters,$4
ironsetters, $3.50; ironworkers, So. 20; ;
marblese, tiers, $3.50; carpenters, $40
painters, So; gravelroofers, S.;
pIasterers' laborers, 50. 40; laborers, 50.
Contractors have posted placards offer
ing these wages. If the workingmen
of Chicago suffer it will not be for lack
of work nor insufficiency of wages,
and because evil instead of wise coun-
sells prevail, which prevent harmony
between them and their employers

ties of the war in South Africa, the war
made by the weekly bank statement on
Saturday. and the possibility of gold
, exports by Saturdays steamers. As
| realizing has been going on to a large
extent this week, most of the uncovered
contracts were on the short side and
the demand to cover was an important
factor in rallying prices. In addition,
the pools which exist in a number of
stocks adopted aggressive tactics for
an advance, taking advantage of the
disinclination of the bears to extend
their commitments on the eve of the
holiday. After the demand from the
shorts had been satisfied, however, the
pool manipulators found themselves
alone in bidding for stocks and there
were. realizing sales as prices reached
the higher level. The market then
lapsed into comparative dizziness and
sluggshness. The industrials moved
independently of the general list. but
none of them occupied a very conspic
