I was lodging at a private house, and there was room for another guest. The stranger was driven on, and I sat down on a rock to sum him up.

Last week a labor organizer from the ; United States, dropped into town with 5 theview. of organizing a branch of the i Union in connection with the Tudhope iCarriage Co's Works. So far as we tcan ascertain, he was not invixed to come by the workmen, and certainly not by the Company. The Company `knew of the meeting, which was to be held, and notied all employees through their foreman, that those who joined the Union would forfeit their positions. He succeeded in persuading some twenty men to join, and the orgamz-1 tion was completed on Thursday even- ing. On Friday morning the Company discharged the members of the Union from their employ, and some ten others quit work out of sympathy... Since then some of the men have remrned to work, and all will be taken back upon rencuncing the Union. In the absence of Mr. Jss. B. Tudhope, President and Manager, who is attending the Halifax Fair, and knows nothing of the matter, Mr. W. H. Tudhope, Vice President and Superintendent, informs the Times that so far as the Company are aware themen have no grievance whatsoever. The pay here is about the same as in other factories of a like nature, and the men _have steadier work. In the Michi- gan shops the men average about seven months in the year. and their wages consequently are a little higher. The . Tudhope Works for the past ve years have not even run on short` time- Then the cheaper living expenses here make this a more desirable place to live. This ison the authority of men who have workedgin other factories and are now working here. The Company endeavor to employ local men whenever possible, and while they have no special objection to offer to the Union, they` see no use for in a town like ours,` and they naturally resent outsiders coming in to create` trouble bet-ween theniselves their wcrkmen,_ they have sass: got along without ahitch.

No matter how `poor these subjects were each managed to secure a piece of black crepe or silk or woollen or cot- ton cloth, and men, women and chil- dren displayed the emblem tied about the left arm. Even the babies had bows of black on the left shoulder. As I stood in the cathedral listening to the "Dead March" and saw the wreaths of violets and lilies laid upon the altar. I felt that each 0! the mourners who crowded the edi- fice was. grief-stricken, not because of the death of the Queen, but - be- cause of the death of his or her Queen.
