Dragging Its Weary Lengths Along.
 The local strike situation remains th' same as it was last week. The striker and manufacturers are no nearer a set clement than they were three weeks ago. In fact there seems to have sprung up among the latter a spirit of obstancJ to all the demands of the union. With in the last few days some of the prom inent manufacturers, whose employees are out on strike have sent their men substantially the following ultimatum ssWe will begin to hire outside help Ii you do not return to work within a reasonable time from date"
 Such manufacturers do not seem to realize what such action on their part will lead to. We are rather inclined to believe that it is sign of weakness on their part; that they fully appreciate the fact that they are losing money daily in consequence of the strikers holding out; and therefore have decided to make one bold move before acceding to the demands of the union.
 The principle of nine-hour working day is, we might say, a universal one. It if bound to meet with success. It has already come to pass in many of the large cities throughout the country. Nearly all the prominent concerns employing machinists have acceded to the demands of the strikers. Even in Connecticut the strike has borne good results in many instances. Practically all the strikers of Bridgeport, Hartford and New Haven, the largest cities of this state, have returned to work, their demands having been granted.
 We are free to say, however, that there has been lack of unity among the machinists of Waterbury. If all had cooperated .as they should have at the outset we feel certain that their de- mands would have been granted before now. ssIn union there is strength. ' Such union was lacking, and still is lacking among the machinists of Water hilry
 We would say to the hesitating manu lecturers of Waterbury: Follow in the footsteps of your wise brothers. The continuance of the strike will mean financial loss to both parties. Not only this but it will directly affect the trade and property of our busy city. Its effect is being felt now daily. The mer- chants to unit desire @ speedy termi- nation of the strike. Although in sym pathy with the strikers and favoring their demands, they believe that it would be the part of prudence on the partrof the striking element to effect compromise in relation to the so-called obnoxious seventh demand" The Ex- aminer man does not believe as the mer- chants do, yet he keenly recognizes the fact that the merchants are aware that prolongation of the strike will cripple the commercial standing of our city, practically causing business to come to 8 standstill. They naturally desire to have their business interests protected.
 At any rate somemething should be done to bring the strike to a speedy ter imitation. Why not the appointment of an impartial committee of represent ative citizens to treat with both parties and if possible to obtain an early ad- justment of the difficulty? It is the de- sire of the people of Waterbury that the strike should be settled. Hence we have no doubt but that such a commit tee, representing the various business interests of our people, would have great weight, not alone with the manufac- turers but with the union as we'll; and that in little while they would be able to deliver to the now much disturbed people of the city the message of ssPeace on earth and good will toward men'' Dr. Art.
