American Family Alone Used Them In
GuayaquiI, Ecuador.
Oval wooden dishes such as are used
in the United States for putting up
small quantities of butter and lard are
not to be had in Ecuador. Consul Gen
eral Herman R. Dietrich of GuayaQuil
has so reported. For such purposes
the merchants use cornhusk, which is
much cheaper than the wooden dishes.
All families in moderate circumstances
buy lard from the merchants in small
wooden kegs holding about forty
pounds. Butter is purchased in the
original tin cans received by the i'm
porters.
Wooden clothespfns are a rarity in
this district. their use being limited to
one American family. Washing is done
by the poor working women or by
household servants, who hang the
clothes up in the courtyard of the house
where the wind cannot blow them off
the line. If it is necessary to fasten
them a few pins are employed.

wages were low until the use of an
thracite for the purpose of smelling
and the opening OF new railroads gave
them an upward tendency, which was
materially advanced until the civil war.
Toward the close of the war contract
miners made as high as 500 to $500
a month, when n decrease in wages be-
gan, which finally led the miners to
strike
MINE STRIKES
The strike was ordered on April -,
1869, to go into effect on May 10. In
the upper Pennsylvania coal regions
the strike continued from April TO Au-
gust, Eve months. In the lower It
lasted but six weeks. Its main object
was stated 20 be the restriction Of the
output.
Sliding scales were established in
the Lehigh and Schuylkill districts in
1885, When the operators found that
these scales worked to their disadvan-
tage they lowered the bases" where
upon the next year there was another
strike, the men remaining idle for sew
eral months. Meanwhile the operators
in the northern field, by paying better
wages, kept their men at work and
secured permanently much OF the
trade OF the upper regions
Disastrous strikes in 1871 brought
arbitration into existence In the
Schuylkill district, where provision
was made for the regular boards of
arbitration to decide future disputes.
In this year was the first combination
of the railroad companies to compel
Individual operators to pay the COM
panies' scale of wages In 1873 oper-
ators and companies combined to
maintain prices and to restrict produc-
ton.
The strike of 1876, which was order
ed in 1875 by the Miners and Labor
ers' Benevolent association against a
reduction of wages, lasted for six
months. On Jan. 1, 1888, the Knights
of Labor ordered a strike. The min
ers went back to work inside of two
months at the old rate of wages The
next strike was the six weeks of con-
f1ict of 1900, and later came the long
drawn out conflict Of 1902.
The British coal strike this year af-
fected 100000 workers Immediately
it was declared.

The bureau Of mines, a branch of the
interior department at Washington,
was established to teach preventive
measures to miners and mine owners.
A number of mine rescue cars are be
