Tho New York bureau of labor statistics for the years 1885 to 1893 save that during that time more then 17,000 strikes, involving 24,657 establishments, were successful, 5. --707 strkes were unsuccessful and 1,860 partial ly successful or compromised. The national labor bureau has kept account of the number of men reported in strikes from ISSI to 1894 inclusive. From 1881 to 1887 it found tihat 47 per cent succeeded, and from 18S3 to 1594, 41 per cent succeeded, and all together in these years there were 3,700,- OyO persons involved. Many were non-union ists and hastily organized unionists. But the labor bureaus reorganize a "strike" only when employes actually quit work. This is a grave error. The unionist knows it is a genuine strike when a committee makes a demand of an employer. Statistics do not count these demands. When they are includ ed, and non-unio'i and mushroom union strikes excluded it is certain that 75 per cent of union strikes succeed. Records show a gradual lessening num ber of strikes. They decrease in proportion to the growing strength cf the unions. The methods of conciliation are being made use of more than ever, and employers are becom ing wiser and more disposed to take into consideration the rules of labor organizations. A million organized workmen getting $2 a week increase through their organization thus added $100,000,000 a year to their share of the total production. The example of the New York street car men shows that even in the occupations in Which the unions have been broken up the men still retain a good r>art shorter hours and increased wages which the unions se cured. Tho bosses may destroy the unions, but do not force the men down to former conditions for fear the unions may reorganize. —Trades Journal. Letter Carriers' Annniil. The fourteenth annual meeting of the St. Paul Letter Carriers' association was held in the main court room of the po-jtoffice build ing last night. The first business in order was the consideration of the reports of the retiring officers: President A. J. McCarthy Secretary A. J. Rock and Treasurer William G. Waller.

Opposed to Annexation. Minneapolis union labor does not believe ln trie administration's policy of expansion and at the meeting of the Trades and Labor coun cil this week resolutions were adopted em bodying its views upon the retention of the Philippines. Considerable discussion was in voked by the presentation of the resolution and the prevailing feeling wsb that the an nexation of the islands would be against the interests of home labor. The resoltulons read as _-?Jjows "Wheuas, It has been proposed that our government annex the Philippine islands, where cheap labor and chea-p productions are i the rule, and "Whereas, There ls no law in our constitu | Mon prohibiting the contracting for ot 1m- I Donation of cheap laborers from one part of { our territory to another, nor the importation , of c*he-Rp manufactureed goods from any ot buv-'fefTitcrial possessions, and ■» .^Wlfereaa, The importation of such cheap , articles/cdf manufacture from the Philippines a_ Weif as the immigration or importation of THE ST.

HU Widow Snyi, She Waa Not Per mitted to Look I'-pon HU Face- Alter He Sled, Kit her at the City Hospital or at tlie Undertaker*— Statements of the Officials Con cerned ln the Affair. Relatives of iver Christenson, who died at the city hospital Nov. 22, are considerably exercised over the fact that his body was delivered to a medi cal college for dissection. Christenson was a tailor living at 247 Thomas street. The health department records show | that McCarthy & Donnelly, the con tract undertakers for the county, filed notice that the body had been "re moved to Minneapolis," which might mean "removed to medical college for dissection." Up to last summer Iver Christenson was employed by E. G. Nordlln, the tailor, 317 Jackson street. He was par ticularly noticeable because of peculiar malformations of his person. Not only was his back hunched, but there was a peculiar growth that caused the right side of the chest to protrude. He was taken UL and confined to his home for some three months. The expense of the sickness exhausted his means, and, on Nov. 21, he secured admission to the city hospital. For some time previous to this he had been treated by Dr. Leavitt, assistant city physi cian. On the following day Mrs. Christen- Bon was notified at her home that her husband was dead. On Wednesday, Nov. 23, in company with two of her sons, she went to the city hospital and she says she was denied permission to see the remains. She was asked if she objected to a post mortem examination of the body, as the physicians were very anxious to learn the nature of the ailment from which Christenson died. At the same | time she was questioned as to her financial ability to pay for the burial j of her husband's body. She told the j man she war talking to, so she says, | that she was unable to bear such ex pense. Mrs. Chrlstensen, who now lives at 162 Thomas street, said yesterday: "They tell me laiat the doctors want ed the body to determine the cause of his peculiar physical condition. Par ticularly did they desire to learn the cause of his right chest protruding. I gave them permission to make an ex amination. They were not satisfied with this, however, and took the body entirely." The record at the health department is not complete. "If there is anything questionable ln the dispositlen of the body of Chris tenson," said* Dr. A. B. Ancker, city and tounty physician, "I want to know it.TIK- records are open, and will be fre-ely explained for the asking." He continued: "As" to Mrs. Christenson's complaint that she and her children were denied the privilege .of looking at the body here, I do not question the truthfulness of her assertion. We do not admit any one to our morgue, as frequently sev eral bodies are there, some of them, perhaps, dead from diphtheria." Clerk Schultz remembered Mrs. Chrift tenson and the Christensen children having been there, and their statement that they could not afford to have a private burial. The consent to hold an autopsy was given at the time. "There is a state law," said Dr. Ancker, "that the medical colleges can make a requisition upon me for un claimed material, by which I mean that they have the power to call upon me for bodies that are not claimed for burial by relatives or friends. But I have served notice upon the medical schools that I will not honor such requisitions, and they have never served one on me. What is done with the bodies after they pass out of our control is, of course, beyond my knowl edge. "As to the records of the hospital I find that Christenson was admitted shortly after 2 o'clock Nov. 21, and died a few minutes after 11 o'clock the fol lowing day. His wife was at once not ified of the death by a note sent through an A. D. T. messenger. An autopsy was held, lt being the practice to make examinations where deaths occur so soon after the patient is ad mitted to the hospital. On the follow ing day an order was issued to the county undertaking contractors, Mc- Carthy & Donnelly, to bury the body In the grounds near the county poor house. Attached to this order was a certificate to- be returned by the su perintendent of the poor farm if the body was buried. Tbe order, accord ing to our records, was B 145, and an examination of the records of the board of control will show exactly what was done In the ease. "I know that no requisition was made on me for the body." An examination of the records of the board of control shows that Mc- Carthy & Donnelly were paid 52.60 for the burial of Christenson on an order i from Dr. Ancker, dated Nov. 23. The order reads that the burial is to take place in the county ground near the almshouse. There Is no return from the superin tendent of the farm showing that the interment took place, but the bill was paid by the board of control. Undertaker Donnelly said that the body was delivered on the following order: To the Coroner or City Undertaker of Ram- Eey' County, Nov. 29, 1898. You are requested to deliver to us, as the faculty of the Minneapolis College of Phy uiolans and Surgeons, the remains of Iver Chri&:ieon, the said remains not having been interred nor desired for interment by the friends or relatives of said deceased, and there being, so far as known, no relatives or friends of said deceased who have not consented to the jraid remains being delivered to us for purposes of study and dissection in the said medical college. This request is made In ac cordance with section 36, of chapter 124, of the General Statutes of Minnesota. — Hamiline University, College of Physicians and Surgeons. —By Geo. M. Crafty, M. D., Dean of Faculty. Norman Dreisbach, M. D., Charles A. Bd mian, M. D., Committee. Dr. Quain, of the city hospital, said last night in explanation of the en tanglement, that at the time that Mrs. Christenson ebuld not see the body and was directed to go to the undertakers It had not yet been subjected to the post mortem, so that it might not have reached the undertakers when she call ed there to see it next morning, as it was not taken there until perhaps noon next daya ST.
