Intense suffering is beginning to rise
from the prolongation Of the labor
fight, which has now resolved itself
into a practical lockout Of $4,000 work
ing men. Funds for the support OF
the involuntary idle are lacking, and
owing to the long period of enforced
leisure. it is impossible to raise much
more among those who have again
found employment. Suffering from
cold will be added to food shortage
a. the winter season advances. The
government 10 alarmed at the situa.
tton and had made attempts to ar
range for some form Of settlement to
get work for the men. The, general
impression is that the manufacturers
were glad Of the general shutdown
which enabled them to reduce surplus
stocks and has put them on q better
financial footing than before.
