From 1921 to 1894 there occurred one
.or two strikes each year In 1884 the
female shoe binders Of Lynn. Mass,
struck for an increase Of wages, but
failed, as their places We're taken by
others who would do the work for the
same price The number Of strikes I'M
creased SO rapidly about That time that
the New York Daily Advertiser stated
that strikes are now All the fashion"
No close records OF strikes was kept
after that time until the government.
In taking the census Of 1880, made a
record Of the number occurring during
the census year. The strikes Of that
year numbered clio and the lockouts
I52 The records kept after that time
for thirteen and a half years show that
the number Of strikes per year varied
from 443 In 1854 to nearly 1900 In one
or two years OF all the strikes 90 per
cent occurred In the thirteen industries

During this time a,7l4406 people

whom Oh per cent were males and the
other o per cent females. AT the same
time 10000 were thrown out Of en-
ployment by lockouts, Of whom over Il
per cent were males aud over % per
cent females. Insan these strikes there
were 90, 16T establishments involved, OF
which 1920 were in the Ave states of
Illinois. Massachusetts. New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The lockouts
affected 606T establishments, Of which
4,o06 were In the same Eve states. The
average duration OF tho strikes was
25.4 days and Of the Ioekouts 426 days
Forty-four and half per cent OF the
strikes and 40 1-3 per cent Of the lock-

the strikes and 47& per cent Of the
lockouts failed. The rest were partly
successful.

 AS it is, the shopkeeper often finds that he can make a larger profit on some foreign brand. and so offers it to the customer. who, being unable to read English. continues to believe the wild stories in regard to the impurities of our packing methods which the dealer is too apt to enlarge upon. and accepts the brand offered him Aside from this aspect of the case. it is well-known fact that a customer. par ticularly a Chinese, seeing two tins of meat side by side. will prefer that up on which he finds a label in his own tongue There is also a tendency to initiate American packages in these lines which might be overcome at least in part, by the use of a Russian label
 The attitude of the manufacturer who is not interested in export trade. although deplorable. can be compre- hended. but it is difficult to under stand why those who are trying to sell their goods abroad should overlook such an important point as putting them before the foreign buyer in the most attractive possible way. When I spoke to the representative of one of the largest packing houses in America on this subject. he replied that his firm ordered their labels by the million. and that it would take too long to use million labels in any one foreign lan- guage. Our tendency to always want to do things by the million. to desire immediately an enormous business or none. and to be unwilling to pay at tention to detail is causing us to lose valuable time in the race for commer- cial supremacy in the Far East"

Canned Goods for Asia Should Bear
 Native Inscriptions.

United States Consul Nash. in a re- port from his new post at Vladivostok. says that some years ago in Siam he had occasion to report on what he con- sidered d lack of business acumen on the part of manufacturers of food pro- ducts, or at least a curious indiffer- encce to a point which. if observed. would have increased their sales in that country. and which he particular izes as follows:
 This was the absence of .. Siamese and Chinese label on American goods. find that the food products sent here from America are equally innocent of any attempt to explain themselves in the language of the country. This is la defect which manufacturers would do we'll to remedy. Canned goods for this market should bear the name of the maker and the contents in Rus sian, and as the Chinese consume a good share of them a label in their language should also be added.
 "The necessity for a Russian label on meat products is especially strong just now. first because there is viz orous foreign competition. and our French and German rivals have taken care to put Russian labels on their goods. and. second, because there is a certain prejudice against American meat products, and a label explaining that the package upon which it appears has been put up under government su-
