And only about a year ago a corres- pondent of a French medial journal called attention to the remarkable ef- fectiveness of ice air for the cure of dyspepsia.

According to Mr. Grundy's descrip- tion of this strike it must have been one of the greatest labor-struggles that ever occurred. In 1842 the condi- tion of the cotton workers in Lanca- shire, Yorkshire and Cheshire, had be- come so bad, owing to the introduction of machinery, that a general strike movement was brought. about without any organization and at first without leadership. 3,000,000 PEOPLE WERE IDLE. This included the weavers themselves and persons of every other occupation whom they obliged to leave work. The small tradesmen and manufacturers were obliged to close their places, the teachers Ln the schools. had to send their pupils home, and the strikers even prevented the passing of. vehicles up- on the highways by massing themselves in compact: bodies through which no horse could be driven. During the six weeks industry of ev- ery kind was entirely suspended in the district affected, it being estimated that in the neighborhood of prafiies with a network of pipes, and for a. few pennies eadh housekeeper will be able to reduce the indoor climate to the exact temperature which the sun- scorched Bedouin: eXpects to find on his arrival in the shady bowers of Eden. a unique form of enforced sympathy strike, which Mr. Grundy has never since seen duplicated. He had some- times wondered at the tameness of la- bor struggles which he has since ,wit- nessed compared with what he saw in his boyhood’s days, but as he remem- bers his feeling on the great occasion, in was simply one of satisfaction that. the strikers should relieve him of the necessity of going to school. Mr. Grundy having been very young at the time this strike occurred, most of. his information about it has been gathered from reading. The incidents which he remembers are principally the forcing of his teacher to dismiss school and the obliging of his father to sus- pend business. Mr. Grundy's father was a. batter, having a shop of his own and employing a few hands in the town of Ashton, near Manchester. The strikers came in a large body, and it was only necessary for one of them to say: “Put out that fire, Grundy,” and the hat- ter immediately suspended all work in his little place and sent his men home to wait for the strike to be over. back to their work at the end of six weeks without having obtained any in- crease of wages, or any shortening of their hours of labor. It was not long. however, until Parliament. as 8 result of this strike, began to pay some at- tention to the condition of the weav- ers. and laws which served vqry effect- nally 30 ameliorato their condition were No more moltimg butter and dripping sansages. weary afternoons and dreams of.

Thomas Grundy, of Pittsburg. was a participant in some. of the famous strikes which occurred in England for- ty or more years ago, and his recollec- tions of the manner in which they were conducted and his comments up- on the good which they accomplished are interesting just now. Mr. Grundy is now upward of 60 years of age, and has been a hard worker in the labor movement nearly all his life. He drew his first. inspiration from a mob of striking weavers, who when Mr. Grun- dy was seven years old, called at the schoolhouse where he was beginning his education and compelled the teacher to give the scholars a vacation. This was Mr. Grunt” remembers seeing bodies of the strikers marchinz 1110118 1116 highways thickly massed together and filling the roads from side to side as far as they could be seen. They were always armed with clubs, and when marching would line up close togeih' er, each grasping the club of the man on either side of him, and SO weavxng themselves into a solid mass. In this way it was rendered impossible for any- thing or anybody to occupy the road but the strikers, and their ob'ect of forcing a general suspension 0 busi- ness in the district was obtained. This was only for a little while, however. as large bodies of the troops of the em- pire were ordered into the district held by the strikers. and soon obliged them to preserve the peace and desist from interfering with the affairs of those who desired. to carry on business.

Mr. Grundy thinks that among ignorant workmen, that is. among those who are ignorant. in the matter of education obtained from books, there 'has been as a. rule more loyalty to each other displayed than by those who are‘fairly well educated. At any rate they stuck together upon this occasion. and won their strike so thoroughly that there was never af- terward a general return to theold ractice of working twelve or fifteen urs a. day.

Mr. Grundy says that at that time there was so little general education that many persons could not tell the time of day by a olook. and so in passing around the word for the inauguration of the strike everybody was instructed to stop work when the clock pointed straight up and down, this being a method of securing a more general un- derstanding than to say 6 o’clock in the evening. In the mill where Mr. Grundy worked the clock was watched all afternoon and when the time came there was a general rush for the outside of the mill.
