fact that the expectations OF tHe pas
tor of the church the Rev. DR.. Wrig-
ley. were by no means distinguished
for their moderation. He had asked
for and vaguely hoped for 100000. but
the total OF the days contributions
reached fully 100000. 1t is believed
that this is the largest amount ever
collected in any church on single
day Well, it is not without reason
that Brooklyn is called the city of
churches.
The labor situation III New York
is becoming more serious every week.
The PROJECT Of a compromise between
the employers and the wOrkmen In
the building trades Is exceedingly
small, although all hope has not yet
been given up. The action Of the
unions, in flagrantly violating their
agreement with the employers organ
ization is strongly condemned and the
sympathies of the respectable classes
are with the employers. The more
! conservative elements among the
strikers are not quite satisfied with
the situation, but they are powerless
! against the leaders, who seem to have
reasons of their own for forcing this
strike upon the builders. The imme-
date result Of the strike Is the COM
plete tying up OF all building opera
tons Of importance. The shutting
down Of building operations will nat
urally affect many other trades, al
lied to the building trades and the
probability is that many Thousands
of men will be thrown cut Of employ
ment by the unscrupul0usress and
stubbornness OF the strikers
