is engaged in his annual collection of
the license fees required Of the whole

ored vinegars as cider vinegar, and of
authorizations Of jellies and other food
products, will be waged vigorously by
the department, as in the past, and the

that the labor troubles, as a result
OF which many thousands OF men
have been idle, again threaten the
industrial world. In the building
trades in that city, it is estimated
tlat twenty thousand men are out
of work and the number is increas-
ing daily. The printing trades are
threatened by the attitude OF the
photographers, ten thousand OF whom
are expected to be locked out
throughout the country. Dissension
in both OF these trades is caused by
disagreement over arbitration agree
ments with employers, and involves
absolute recognition of unions, eight
