This story is current as to the manner in which she beat up trade: Going to the Princess Edward, of Saxe-Weimar, she begged her aid among her friends and told her the nature of her business. “Dear me,'’ said the princess, “I am very sorry, but I am afraid I can’t help you, my dear.

It is really shocking.’’ She was finally persuaded into a better frame of mind, and as Mrs. Fitzgeorge was leaving the old Duke of Cambridge was an- nounced. “Does he know?’ whispered the princess to her guest. “No, I" answered the duke’s daughter- in-law, “for heaven's sake, don't tell him!

The workingmen are uncompromisingly opposed to the proposed strike bill, which provides that when laborers intended to stop work they must give six days’ no- tice, after which all persons employed in the factory shall vote on the question by If a majority decide to strike, immediate government arbitration is com- pulsory. The objections of the working classes are that sympathy strikes are rehdered im- possible and that after six days passed in considering grievances the workers would grow cool in fear of the misery incidental to cessation of work and would vote against a strike. Urbain Gohier explains this feeling An an article in which he says the right to strike is the only weapon left to laborers with which to counterbalance capital's awful ower; that it is this fear of a spontaneous, nstant rebellion, possible every minute, which keeps the employers within bounds.
