Labor Strikes

One sees now and again in the

Very few people realize to what a

What is a strike? When body Of
workmen band together and form a
society, said society fixing a scale or
rate of wages at which the men shall
work, it is known as a Trades
Union. The Trades Union is sup
posed to look after the interests of

All its wars of passion DER,
Now no more the pillows breasting.
Calmly gaze 1 from the shore.
Gaze upon the wrecks of feeling
Once serene and deep and strong,
Now like wasted perfume stealing
Memory's corridors along.
Doubts and fears and wild sensations.

Warnings deep and strong temptations.
And young hopes melodious song.
All are past, their frantic mingling

THE OLD
WIFE'S KISS
pictures Of Life

The funeral services were ended,
and as the voice Of prayer escaped,
tears were hastily wiped off from the
wet cheeks, and long-drawn sighs
relieved suppressed and choking
sobs, as the mourners prepared to
take leave of the corpse. 1t was an
old man that lay there, robed for
the grave. More than three-score
years had whitened those locks and
furrowed that brow, and made those
stiff limbs weary of life's journey,
and all the more willing to lie down
and rest where WEAKNESS is no
more suffered, and infirmities no
longer burden. The aged have but
few to weep for them when they
die. The most of those who would
have mourned their loss, have gone
to their grave before them; harps
that would have sighed sad harmo-
MES are shattered and gone; and that
few that remain are looking cradle
ward rather t b an graveward-to
life's closing gaol; are bound to and
living in the generation rising, more
than the generation departing.
Youth and beauty have many adj
mirers while living, have many
mourners when dying. Many tear
full ones bend over their coffined
clay, many sad hearts follow in their
funeral train. But age has few ad-
mirers, few mourners. This was an
old man, and circle of mourners

and possibly had known him for {

this small company, the old wife

mourner. 1t is respectful for friend

to look her last look-to take he

agreement fails, the union issues an
ultimatum to the employee or en-
ployers as the case may be, that the
men will go out on strike, or in
other words, voluntarily withdraw
their labor.
Some of the causes of strikes are
simply absurd; take for instance the
cotton lockout that happened a few
months ago in Lanscashire, England.
A man and his wife belonged to a
trades union, but for reasons best
known to, themselves. decided to
quit it. The rest of the operators
who belonged to the union voted on
a strike if the two people did not
join the union, the man and his wife
remained firm, the result was that
over three thousand operatives were
locked out. causing untold suffering
and misery. So much for the union.
But there is another side to the
question: take for instance the strike
of the textile workers at Lawrence.
Mass. According to an inyestiga-
ton that is being made of the situ-
alton the employers are to blame.
An Italian girl sixteen years of age
was caught in loom two years ago

features of the dead; she saw more.
In every wrinkle of that brow she
read the history of years. From
youth to manhood; from manhood to
old age; in joy and sorrow, in sick
ness and health-it was all there:
when those children, who had out
grown the sympathies Of childhood,
were infants lying on her bosom,
and those dull, mute monitors were
unintelligible; to her they were the
alphabet of the heart, familiar as
household words! And then the fu
ture! What will become Of me?
What shall / do now?" She did not
say so-she did not say anything
but she felt it. The prospect of the
old wife is clouded. The home cir
Gle is broken, never to be reunited!
The visions of the hearthstone are
scattered forever. Up to that hour
there was home, to which the
heart always turned with fondness.
But that magic is sundered; the key
stone Of that sacred arch has fallen,
and now home is nowhere this side
of heaven! What shall the old wife
do now? Go and live with her chill
dren? be a pensioner upon their
| kindness, where she may be more a
burden than a blessing? so, at least
she thinks. Or shall she gather uI
the scattered fragments OF tn Il
