THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.

The miners employed by the new coal-mining syndicate which operates a majority of the mines in Southern Illinois met in East St Louis last week, and decided to demand two cents a bushel, top weight In case the demand is refused they will str.ke. The great rolling-mill strike at Philadelphia, involving over 1,500 men, has been settled. The lockout at the extensive packing establishment of John P. Squire, in Cambridge, Mass., led to serious rioting, the old employes fighting the police. Leading Knights of Labor are discussing the propriety of reorganizing the management of the order. The plan most favored is to give Mr. Powderly, or whoever may be at the head, the privilege of selecting the members of tlie General Executive Board. The matter will be considered at the Richmond convention in October.
