LONG AND STUBBORN FIGHT

The local strike situation apparently
is simply this;
That the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Company will not accede to the de
mands Of the strikers until the other
large shipbuilding concerns OF the
country. with which II has TO compete
have done so.
Many rumors dealing with the inten-
tions Of the company are ahoat. In some
instances they have their origin in the
wish Of the striking machinists to re-
turn to work at the earliest possible
moment on the nine-hOurs basis. In
others, certain demagOgues for whom
the machinists in no sense are respon-
sible. set afloat disquieting and dis
crediting rumors. hoping TO attain self
ish ends by that means. But the fact
remains that the struggle here is de-
pendent very largely upon the struggle
In other shipbuilding centres, and the
present indications are that It will be
long and stubborn.
This is unfortunate, for the people
at large, and especially the tradesmen
are suffering with the company and the
strikers.

CAUGHT AT RANDOM

Switzerland's growth OF population
is attracting attention. The census
taken in 1888 gave a population Of
2,917,754 and that of last December
1912 SOL, a gain of 1894 .797. Between
1880 and 1858 the total increase was
only 71,63S, and between 1870 and 1880,
l76964. So during the past twelve
years the growth Of the Swiss pOpula-
ton has far exceeded that of the pre-
viOus eighteen years. The average
number of inhabitants in the repub-
lie to the square mile Is now 200. II
has, therefore, a denser population
than France, and. as an industrial cen
ter, II bears comparison with any of
the more progressive countries in
Europe.
