Il is seldom that there are so many
large labor troubles in progress at once as
at present. No end in sight is the latest
word from Philadelphia, where practical
liz all the union men are out on a sympa-
thetic strike in behalf OF the car men.
During the week there have been some
defeetions from the unions, but acces-
sions have more than made up. The tran
sit company seems to be moving cars bet
ter than heretofore, but tremendous pres

the unions demand of arbitration. One

rived at, but the conference was futile.
The company declares il will never yield.
The entire labor federation Of Pennsyl-
vania is to vote on whether it will begin
a sympathetic strike. II is realized that
this is a fight to the death. An immi-
nent strike OF 27,O00 locomotive firemen
that would mean the complete tie-up OF
every railroad between Chicago and the
Pacific, has, 1t is hoped, been aveIted.

INToxICANTS AND TOBACCO.

We are drinking more alcoholic drinks than ever. more not only in gross. but per capita. So the inter nal revenue bureau says after totaling up its receipts for the year ending on the 3Oth of last June. says Harper's Weekly. Here is it's report of some of the products that paid taxes: 163.000,000 gallons of distilled spir- it's. 3O.OOO.OOO gallons more than the year before.
 5s.4S5.117 barrels of fermented liquors. an increase of 3.OOO.0OO bar rels.
 7,60O. .0O0.QOO cigars, 16O.O0O,OOO more than in 1909.
 6,S3O, 100000 cigarettes, an increase of 1.OO0. .0O0,00O
 4O2.000.000 pounds of plug. fine cut. cube cut, granulated or sliced smok- ing or chewing tobacco or snuff. 4.000.000 pounds more than the year before.
 141.S62.2S2 pounds of oIeomargarine, 50.000.000 pounds increase
 It appears that the consumption of spirits increased last year by over 20 per cent. Perhaps taxes were paid on more liquor than was drunk, but the payments from year to year are a pretty close measure of consump- tion. That drinking should increase in the face of so much prohibition and local option legislation causes some astonishment. but is not, we believe. contrary to experience. Leg islation may have an effect on man. ners. methods and details of con sumption, but it does not change habits. Prohibition. if Maine is any criterion. does not help at all in pro- noting temperance. Local option may do good. but is more likely to benefit the rising generation than the one whose habits are formed.
 It is possible that in spite of the internal revenue figures the manner of drinking may bc improved and the

But we warn all these earnest souls that CO., operation leads readily to more sin ister things. as their moving stories of industrial trusts ought long since to have shown them.

 One feature of the herring season at the different ports on the east coast is the arrival of the Scotch lasses. who follow the fishing fleets down and gut" and pickle" the fish on the piers as they are brought in by the trawlers In a good season these 'laSses" will earn from sS to s1O. but in a poor sea son, like the present one, they will re- ceive little more than their board, which is guaranteed them on engage ment-Consular Reports

 It bears on this subject that of the nine millions of population in New York state seven millions live in cities. Local option in this state is confined to country townsites. The increase of city population all over the country has doubtless a relation to this increase in the consumption both of alcohol and tobacco. The nervous tension of city life is greater than of country life. calling more for stimulants. and affOrding more con venient opportunities to get them. Drinking and smoking. too. are both social practices. and there is more society in the cities than in the country.

HERRING AND THE LAssEs.

There are two seasons for catching herring on the west coast of Europe. One begins late in May or early in June at the Orkney islands and follows the shoals or herring down the east coast of Scotland and England until it reaches YarmoJah, where it ends late in September or early in october.
 The fishermen go out in trawlers and land their catch at the numerous ports
