for so doing that the exhibition wantsat Its head a 
man who can give hts whole time to the work. As 
his engagements would take him outof the country 
for three months when hts presence here would be 
moet. needed, and as, on hts return, other engage¬ 
ments, whloh could not be Ignored, would demand 
his attention, he thought It best to give some one 
elso the pos-tllon. He thinks it would be wise to 
postpone the fair until 1884 or 1885. Mr. Hugh J.

yet settled. There Is a strong feeling that the re¬ 
sult may be a general strike, for the unions say It

nant over the matter. On the other hand, the 
manufacturers say that they are wearted with 
these continued agitations, and do not like to be 
dictated to by the help. They have got the right, 
they claim, to run their mills themselves. The 
rumors set afloat that they are runDlDg over time 
and paying lower wages than other places they 
indignantly deny.
