general character during the year. About
these the report says:

for which the strike of the AmalgaInated As

augurated was not achieved, and it was ter

aroused, large number of iron and steel
workers employed by other companies than
the corporation against which the strike was
lnaugurated have been organized under the
jurisdiction of the Amalgamated Association.
The hope is entertained. too, that the day is
near at hand when every one employed at the
various branches of industry coming
under the Jurisdiction of the Amalgamated
Association may be enrolled a member pre-

the entire craft, and to further the great
cause for which we unite and federate, the

that their strike has very largely succeeded in
establishing the nine-hour rule in that trade.
They claim the settlements reached have

German agriculture was prosperous. The
Prussian crown knows IL is prosperous,
because il is now investing 100000 marks

inspired by the tempestuous temper OF
the house, exclaimed:

Baron Won Rheinbaben, the Prussian
Minister of Finance, advised Her Bebel
that if the Social Democrats stirred uu

they would reap a harvest of broken
heads This was greeted with cheers on
the Right and laughter on the Left. Herr

he regarded the new tariff as an effective
