WHAT STRIKES HAVE COST IN THE
PAST.

Millions and millions of dollars have
been lost to the contending parties in
strikes of the past. but when the history
of the present coal strike shall have been
written, it is believed that tho total dam
age created by it will eclipse that for any
past warfare between employers and en-
ployes. The figures for the period covered
by the labor department report show that
the workingmen got the worst of the
struggles with their employers in the mat
ter of money lost. The strikes of the past
20 years involved a loss in wages to en-
ployes of over s257 CO., 900 while the loss
credited to employers in the same period of
time is a little less than half that amount,
| sl22 100000. In the lockouts that occurred
during the same period. the workmen also
sustained the greater loss, losing in wages
| $4S 0CO 900, against a loss by the employers
Of $4,000, 900
Labor organizations are rendering better
| financial assistance to their striking mem
| bers than they formerly did. the amount
OF money paid out to help idle workmen
having increased steadily In recent years.
The assistance thus given in the past
20 years amounted to over N6.Ocoo.

THE HARVEST SONG.

THE HARVEST SONG.
It's song of harvest In the sunlight
and the dew,
Where the world is like picture meath a
living sky of blue;
A song that echoes sweet
Till YOU hear the worlds heart beat
In the thrilling air around you and the
grasses at your feet
It's sing song of harvest: The Summer
days were long,
But they led to fair fruition where the har-
vest Is a song;
A song whose music fills
All the valleys and the hills
That wrinkles In the sunlight and ripples
In the rills.
It's sing a song of harvest; Let the merry
echoes rise
An answer to deaths SORROWS, a solace 70,

Earth's riches reaped and stored
Tolls welcome and reward:
Love and toll have made the harvest. and
love of life Is lord
