Owing to a strike of the employees of the Great Southern and Western Eailway Company, Ireland, traffic is completely paralysed.

Owing to a split among the London workmen it is now estimated that the attendance at the meeting in Hyde Park on May 4* will bo under one hundred thousand. CHICAGO, April 26. Strikes which are being arranged to take place here on May 1, will affect 12,000 firms, employing in the aggregate 200,000 men and 24,000 women.
