THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.

The cooks and waiters in the large restaurants at San Francisco struck, the other day, compelling the closing of many eating houses. The posting of certain rules caused the trouble. In the iron and steel mills at Pittsburgh the men are working overtime, indicating a prosperous condition of tho trade. The iron output this year, compared with last year, shows an excess of 203 tons. After a six weeks’ attempt to force

manufacturers to accede to their demand for the adoption of the eight-hour system, the St. Louis furniture workers have ended their strike, and the men, about 500 in all, have returned to work on the old plan.
