Struck AGAINST Mirrors.

No one could have supposed that
a company of girls would 90 out on
strike because there were too many
mirrors in their workroom. 1t has
happened, however, in New York,
The trouble was that the foreman
had arranged the mirrors around
his desk so that without seeming to
notice he could see whether or not
the girls were working steadily.
When the device was called TO the
attention of the proprietor he sided
with the girls, and the strike ended.
