In THE lat North American Re-
view Carroll D. Wright, U. s. Commits
sioner OF Labor, goes 80 far as an ex-
pert statisticisn can TO show the Losses
caused by strikes. The records of the
past twenty years, from 1881 inclusive,
are bis basis. 10 TIE strike OF thst
period The aggregate wage loss OF the
strikers was 1857 1863, Ats. against loss
to employers of $1227S1 ,11. The
total Of losses was $3.50. 694 500. These
figures are drawn from the history OF
% 703 strikes, involving III ,5O9 estsb
Iishments, and throwing out OF en-
ployment {, los, 694 wage-earners. The
plsio demoDstrs tlon of the figures Is that
the strike is q terribly costly instru-
ment. even for redress OF undoubled
grievances. Startling as is this State
ment of twenty years of loss through
ktrikes-the grand total averages over
$19, 900, 900 year-it fails short Of the
full truth by many Items. 1t Includes
rsck oniugs only for employers and en-
ployed. Losses 10 house rentals, 10 re-
tail trading, 10 ether Incidental losses
to the general public cannot be oalcu'
lated even approximately.

AGAINST THE earnest hopes OF the

Atlantic, the condition OF King Ed
ward of EugIand did not mate
rally improve last night. and the
bull, tins which have been Issued 81
Buckingham Palace were vague, am
bieuous and far from satisfactory
About the only announcement made
which cast any CLEAN OF hope was one
TO the feet that the King had an even
chance. This, however, sforded no
assurance and left as much ground Tor
gloomy spprehensions as yesterdays
hulletips. There is no need OF evsding
the fact that the condition OF the king
Ia extremely critical and that TIE
chances are rather sgaiust him. VI
course no one can speak With cntainty
of the outcome, not even the physicians
st his bedside, but there are circum-
statces attending the kings mslsdy
which lead an intelligent lsity to reslize
that be is In an exceedingly critical
condition, and the bulletins are read
With apprehension by all who had
hoped to see him the central figure i"
the coronation ceremonies tomorrow.
Todsy's dispatches are far from assur-
ing. The prayers of bis people and
those Of other countries may, however,
yet be answered, as they were years
ago when the kings condition Yves
nearly ss critical as it is now, and the
many silly prophecies to the effect that
he will never be crowned msy yet
prove to be anything else than In
SEPARATION.
