MORE STRIKES.
Paris, Nov. 30. Tho musicians strike has barely come to a fairly satisfactory termination for tho strikers, when there is a clamor on the part of tho bat makers and the bakers. The hatters’ striko did not at first threaten formidable proportions, particularly as the "chic” houses granted tho rates of wages demanded by tho workmen. But, outsido of these expensive establishments, many large houses have refused to increase the wages of their workmen. Fifteen hundred men and women bavo gone out in a body, thoso in employment contributing a certain amount to the maintenance of the strikers. The bakers demand an increaso of ten cents a day. In addition they wish their forces increased during certain hours of the baking. This would provide employment for many men at present without work.
