Labor News and Notes.

Chicago mail carriers are voting on
the question of affiliating with the
American Federation of Labor.
1t is estimated that there is enough
waste from the sawmills of the south
alone to produce 10000 tons of paper
a day.
The 500 operatives of the American
Wringer Co in Woonsocket, r. l.,
who have been on a strike for sew
eral weeks, have returned to work,
They asked for a 10 per cent raise
and 54-hour working week, and
they compromised on 10 per cent.
increase and a 55-hour week.
The building trades in Paris have
come back nearly to normal condi-
tions, since there are only about 2,437
men of these trades idle; it is about
the normal figure in times of peace.
Workers predict that as soon as the
war ends there will be a great de-
mand for labor in this branch.
