The claim for mp tion dragged along until he was informed that he had forfeited his rights to anything because he did not filo his demand within a cortain time. To cap his grievances, "on the very day of the explosion," said he, "I re- jeoived a message at Essex that an- other conductor 'was coming to take my place. The dynamite exploded and: that was the last I heard about the matter, although 1 believe the order 'was recalled.

Only a little while ago thére was an appeal to pefliament for pérmission to amend the laws of a railway. so far as they dealt with the relations between the company and: its officials.

POLICEMEN ON STRIKE. | Looks Upon = Them As Different | From Industrial Employees. of Belfast, Ireland, has been enjoying something new and or- iginal in the way of strikes, in the form of a strike among policemen, though they are called constabulary in Great Britain. Belfast is a city of 350,000 people and its constabulary munbers about 1,200 men. They are appointed by the government, and though the cost of their maintenance is levied upon the municipality they serve under the direction of the, gov- ernment authorities at Dablin. Belfast has just been through a strike of dock hands, which was at- tended by considerable violence and imposed much extra labor on the con- stabulary. They, have a grievance of long standing in the matter of pay, which is very small, even in compari- son"with Dublin and other cities in Irland. © Recommendations have twice been made by commissions for increas- ing their pay, but the government has never acted on them. . ? They considered the close of the in- dustrial strike a good time to urge their claim for more pay, and gave the government a week to take ac tion. The government, however, look- ed upon the matter as a very differ- ent thing from a strike among indus- trial employees. As spon as the de- mands of the men wére mceived in i Our $2.00 Derby Hat.
