THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.

The demand of the Ohicago Typographical Union for 40 cents per l,ouo eras for book and weekly newspaper work has been acceded to by the employers. An expected strike or lockout was thus averted. The twenty-four coal-miners imprisoned in the Pittsburgh workhouse for conspiracy in preventing non-union men from working during the great strike of 1884, have just been released by the Pennsylvania Par-

don Board. The men were sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment and had served three months. The striking section hands of the Fort Wayne Railroad were paid off at Pittsburgh and discharged from the service of the company. Their places will be filled by Italians, who will be put to work at once. The journeymen shoemakers at Toronto, Canada, belonging to the Knights of Libor have demanded an increase of 10 per cent in wages. The negro miners who were taken to Peoria to fill the places of the strikers made a demand for an increase of wages, and upon it being refused they quit work. They had anticipated the strike by getting a month’s provisions from the truck stores on credit
