From Far and Near.

The strike of bakers in Denver, Colo., has been settled by the bosses granting the demands of the men. About 300 men, women and children wrecked three meat shops in Boston on account of the high price of meat. Five thousand union men employed in the building trades of Denver, Colo., went on strike, causing practically a total stoppage of building operations in that city. It is a sympathy strike to aid the woodworkers to win their battle against their employers.
