New York heads the list of strike af-
fected Cities. There the work on the
great tunnel is seriously interfered with
by the walkout of rock workmen and ex-
cavators to enforce their demands for
an eight-hour day and an increase in pay
There were some distressing and UNI
usual features of the strikes. Thousands
of persons who eat at restaurants in
Omaha and Duluth were caued much
discomfort by the refusal of walters to
serve them. Householders are being i'm
portuned to make room at their tables for
the transients and help in relieving the
famine. Wilkesharre, Pa. is unshaven
and mshorn. BARRIERS refuse to work
and those without home outfits and the
skill to use them must face warm spring
weather with full boards. In the case
of all the workers shorter hours is the
principal object sought.
The most numerous class of strikers is
that of the building trades. In Boston
about 10000 men. representing nine
trades, made demands for higher wages
and shorter hours and about $500 Of
them secured what they asked without
striking. In Philadelphia the carpenters
are demanding 81 for an eight-hour day
and the hosting engineers $2150 for a
week of forty-eight hours At present
5000 men are idle, but if the strike con-
tinues a week over 10000 W. be thrown
out of employment. Baltimore. Toronto,
Newark, Pittsburg, Akron, Wnkesbarre,
Cincinnati. Omaha Bloomington and
Springfield workmen demand an eight
hour day and higher wages.
The quarry and mill men at Bedford,

of the wage scale. Plumbers at Madi-
