BUFFALO BITS. 

 oiir locil strike — tliat of the lumber 

 sliovers — is all liappily over with, with no 

 serious results only the loss of time and 

 wa>;es to the misguided men who took tli.lt 

 means of attemiitliif; to compel their cm- 

 Iiloyers to give them a slight advance In 

 wages. 1 think in many eases they would

 leniporarily In gaining their ends. This 

 is especially the case where unskilled 



labor comes in contact Avilh capital.

 lower iirices. Of course, when prices are

 the natural thing to do is to get along with 

 as little as possible. One strange feature 

 in almost all large towns and cities is that
