WANTED, WAGES.
"The dispute in the Black Country metal construction trades is the sort of thing that may spread rapidly if we havo n spell of hot weather," says the "Pall Mall."' • . "Some of the concerns involved have been earning liberal dividends during the last year or two. It would be interesting to learn what steps they have taken in that period to niako their workmen sharers in their prosperity." _ "Tho wonder," says tho "Westminster," "is not that there should be strikes now, but that the labourers should havo remained quiescent through the thirty years during which eighteen shillings has been the standard. A rise of five shillings may appear to employers a startling jump foreshadowing the end of all tilings, but no such .sudden increase would have been neoessary had the labourers been given their,, fair share of the great prosperity whicli tho Midlands have been enjoying.
