337 wage-earners, each of whom lost
an average of 81 days work. In fact.

thrown out of work. In 1892 the work
days lost by strikes amounted to 4,500,-
900. causing a loss of wages of about
$500 900. In the % years the strikers
numbered 100000 and the lockouts
100000. The trades most affected were

treaty of Paris and the British posses
sions in Borneo and vicinity is in doubt
That fact made uncertain the status OF
the British North Borneo Company, op.
