CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Ihe Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the ' fllgnator. of BY CONFERENCES. tHUS MAY LABOR AND CAPITAL BE MADE HARMONIOUS. H. W. Hoyt, Pre*i<lciit of National Fomwlem' T ion, T*llN HOW 111 M OPB ill nation of Employers HUM Met the Iron Mulders' Union. Tlie Industrial problems, so called, must be adjusted along the line of least resistance, and the line of least resist ance, in my opinion, is voluntary arbi tration. The highest conception of arbi tration is that of an unbiased confer ence board—a judicial body composed of arbitrators outside the sphere of in fluence exerted by the contending par ties. Another idea, approaching more uear ly the practical, is that of a board con sisting of equal numbers from the two bodies, with an umpire chosen by both. Each of these conceptions of an arbi tration board has failed to satisfy the parties interested or to solve and settle industrial disputes. The best thinkers, who are also charged with the trying duties of practical arbitration, have about decided that unless satisfactory settlements can be reached by an equal number of representatives of employer and employee without an umpire the conference would better fail. The fu ture economist may be wise enough to present to a waiting world some plan of arbitrary arbitration acceptable to the wage earner and wage payer, but we fear that genius is not yet born. While waiting for his advent, arbitra tion will go on. Every day we realize that public sentiment is crystallizing around that thought. Arbitration invariably means compro mise, and unless the contending parties are prepared to accept this absolute fact the work must fail. Everything depends upon the personnel of the board. How important that the choice of arbitrators should fall upon the clearest and deepest thinker, whose vision is not obscured by his preju dices. Questions of difference between buyer and seller are as old as mankind, and yet the dominion of commerce illus trates how easily adjustments are made in that realm. The purely commercial aspect of bar ter and sale is complicated with the human element in questions relating to wages, and he who would settle the wage problem without taking human!- tarianism into account will not serve his follow men acceptably. The old law of supply and demand, strictly inter preted, does not avail to adjust all dis putes that arise iu the economical world. Tlif competent arbitrator must acknowledge this. The employer who admits no other rule of action is un wise. There has been an infinite amount of trouble in conferences for conciliation and arbitration caused by insistence upon rules of conduct evolved in the lodgeroom and forming the written or unwritten laws of unionism. Equally provocative of trouble lias been the tend ency among some employers to ignore the wage earners in the collective ca pacity. Some time these two great forces will learn that the intelligent modification of their respective posi tions will extinguish the causes of what lias too frequently been called an irre pressible coullict. It may require a great calamity in tbe industrial world of America to teach lis anew some of the truths uttered by our forefathers and imperisliably preserved in the Dec laration of Independence. The National Founders' association is one of the practical results of the evolu tion of modern social economics. The fundamental article of its constitution is the very embodiment of voluntary arbitration and reads as follows: "The objects of this association are: First, the adoption of a uniform be sis for just and equitable dealings be tween the members and their employ ees, whereby the interests of both will be properly protected; second, the in vestigation and adjustment by the prop er officers of the association of any question arising between members and their employees." This association was formed three years ago. It now numbers about 400 members throughout the great manu facturing centers of the east, middle west and west. It employs an army exceeding 30,000 men. One of its earliest acts was a joint conference with the representatives of the Iron Holders' Union of North America for the purpose of considering an agreement that should form the working basis of a treaty of peace. This Joint conference agreed upon a plan of arbitration, which was subse quently adopted by the rank and file of both associations. It was an ex ceedingly simple ami effective agree ment, by the terms of which each body solemnly agreed that there should be neither strikes nor lockouts in the foundry Industry until arbitration had failed to adjust the differences. The wise provisions of this agreement have been invoked scores of times with such fluttering results that neither party could be persuaded to consent to its abrogation. The National Founders' association Is the largest orgaidzed body of em ployers in the United States committed to the utilitarian object set forth In its constitution. The Iron Holders' union, on the other hand, is one of the largest, best organized and most intelligently governed labor unions in this republic. It is significant therefore to remember that during the eventful and Intensely active industrial year of 18b!) there was not a single disastrous strike or lockout in the foundry industry, notwithstand ing the conditions were such as to naturally provoke wage conflicts. These two great associations of em ployers and employees were not as suc cessful In averting all contention in thn year 1000, but the very failures have emphasized the necessity ami the wis dom of a still closer adherence to the principles of arbitration and concilia tion and a more profound study and ex amination of economic conditions. Permanent results have already been definitely reached. It has been found possible for the representatives of the two organizations mentioned to meet and discuss the principles for which each is contending without the slightest danger of personal animosity. Various conferences have been carried on, with a strong desire on both sides to reach a common ground by the exercise of mutual forbearance and concession. Failures to arrive at a harmonious de cision, even in the face of Impending Industrial conflicts, have not destroyed faith in the success of the principle of arbitration. Each party lias become more tolerant of the other. Friendly conferences, face to face with each oth er, have destroyed preconceived no tions of each other's characteristics, broadened and deepened the spirit of toleration and gradually paved the way lor eventual peace in that great indus try. An attempt has been made to nation alize the scheme of arbitration—in oth er words, to take away from each indi vidual case of difficulty its strictly lo cal character and place the adjustment of it in regularly appointed committees chosen by both associations, which committees, by reason of their experi ence and broader horizon, are able to eliminate the local features and arrive at results in harmony with existing and accepted conditions elsewhere throughout the country. This course of action has gone far toward relieving the manufacturer fiom those petty annoyances which he has always associated with unionism and at the same time has elevated and dignified the mission of those local and district officers of the Iron Molders' Un ion of North America. The consequence has been that a more experienced, intelligent and toler ant body of men have been called into action and that the rank and tile of un ion men are rapidly becoming educated to the new method of dealing with their affairs individually and collectively, while the manufacturers have been ed ucated to a more liberal and just con sideration of their employees' interests. The preamble of the constitution of the Iron Molders' Union of North Amer ica begins with this declaration: "Believing that under the present so cial system there is a general tendency to deny the producer the full reward of his industry and skill"— Upon this declaration of want of faith in human justice is builded practically all there is of unionism. The searcher after truth cannot deny that there has been much justitication for this as sumption. The National Founders' as sociation has expended a great deal of energy in endeavoring to bring about a set of conditions which would destroy the force of such a charge among its members. The association of which I have spo ken is a type of its class. It is most gratifying to note the success achieved by the kindred organizations. The gen eral public is scarcely prepared to ac cept tlie simplest recital of the history that has been made in promoting the principles of arbitration. What of the future? As long as the wage earner believes or is taught to assume that society is in league to rob him as an individual of some of the purchasing power of his services so loug must society reckon with him in his collective capacity. The employer who elects to ignore this fact is often as much of a menace to the in dustrial peace ns is that agitator who plays upon tlie prejudices and inflames the passions of the men lie falsely serves. But the conditions are improv ing on both sides. The progressive man ufacturer has learned that a union is not an altogether reprehensible evil in social economics and readily admits that when organized wage earners are dominated by strong, conservative men they will meet the employer half way in arbitration. Unions must remember that there never was an attempt made to unite manufacturing employers in the com mon cause of treating collectively with the relations of labor until the unions themselves had asserted their power. Both the employer and the employee must be honest enough to concede that their interests are mutual and that the deep problems of economics cannot be solved in a decade. It is a slow evolu tion that cannot be hastened by vio lence or intolerance. All the theories of all wise scholastics on earth are of little avail. There is only one certain rule of action. It was loug ago called the Golden Rule.—ll. W. Iloyt in Chi cago American. Hallway Employee*. In tlio year 11100 there were no loss than 1,017.053 railway employees m the United States, 110 other business owning so many, except agriculture, title] that upon the earnings of these men 5,000,000 persons are dependent. Engineers, firemen and conductors alone constitute an Industrial army of 110,000 men. Including other train men, station agents, switchmen, tele graph operators and dispatchers, one third of the million employees ore en gaged directly In the operating of trains. Over a quarter of a million men are needed to keep tracks in re pair, while another quarter of a mil lion are required in shops and else where to maintain the plant. Woodenrvcn' U'nKP. Rained. The advanced scale of wages for union wood carvers and modelers has gone into effect. The new schedule was agreed to by the associated em ployees after several friendly confer ences with representatives of the organized journeymen. It is a victory for united labor through the improved method of conciliation instead of a strike. Twenty-five cents a day is add ed to the men's pay for eight hours' fvorU.—New York Evening Journal. FOR THE CHILDREN A Bird That Plays "I Spy." Did you ever know a bird that could play "I spy?" Well, Mauucln, our parrot, likes nothing better than to have the chil dren gather in the back yard and make ready for a game of "I spy," says Julia li. Tutwiler in Little Folks. Of course she doesn't hide as the children do—oh, no, she thinks her part of the game is to keep watch. Just as soon as the "counter" goes to the base, shuts his eyes and begins to ♦ay "5. 10, 15, 20, 25, 30" and so on to 100, Manuela runs for the pine tree tinci up she climbs to tlie highest limb. From this perch she can see behind the barn, around the corner of the house and back of the garden fence; In fact, she has a good view of all the nice hiding places. I wish you could see Manuela climb. She has a great, long, crooked bill, which she hooks into the bark of the tree and pulls herself up until she gets to the limbs. After that it is very easy. She looks so funny with her long tail hanging down, for, you see, Manuela is a macaw and has a red tail tkree feet long. She is not green, like most parrots, but is red, with bright blue and yellow rings. She looks like a great big, beau tiful flower up among the dark green pine branches. When everybody is hidden and the "counter" begins to spy around to see whom he can find, Manuela calls as loud as she can from the top of the pine tree: "C'om-i-u-g! Com-i-n-g!" And, oli, when a race for the base takes place between two of the swiftest runners you should hear her scream and laugh: "One, two, three, for me! Free! Free!" She says, "All free; free lis," and all the other things the children say in the game, and she never gets tired of play- Ing. Manuela seems to love little children more than anything, and lots of little boys and girls come to see her. What do you suppose a little girl asked the other (lay? She asked, "Is that the bird that lays the Easter eggs?" You see, Manuela is blue and red and yellow and green and purple, just like an Easter egg, and it was very natural for a child to think she might lay those pretty eggs. Children and (he President. Many stories are told of the affection Theodore Koosevelt entertains for chil dren, be they from the daintiest homes or from the streets. One day when he was governor a delegation of public men came up to Albany and called up on him. lie was not In his otlice, and no one knew where he was. The busi ness was important and time not to be wasted. A dozen messengers were sent hunting the governor, ami after ten minutes of the precious time had pass ed they found him curled up in a cor ner with one or two neighbors' chil dren and a street arab drawing pic tures of guns and ponies on the writ ing table. The children had waylaid him and begged him to show them pic tures of the guns and mustangs lie had in the war. At another time he was found in the executive chamber half burled under children clambering over his chair, while he tried to show them photographs of scenes of the campaign. Animal liimtlnet. Animal instinct often gives a valua ble hint to human reason. A case in point is cited by an engineer in a re cently written review of the subject of dams. The beaver, he says, does not build his dam straight across the cur rent. his instinct telling him that in this form it will better resist Hoods and the impact of floating ice. This hint from the little animal has been acted upon in many cases lately, nota bly in the building of the ({rent Boar volley dam in California. Engineers, as a rule, build straight across stream, chiefly, perhaps, to save material, hut the arched dam is the more economical In the long run. Beechnut*. There is nothing sweeter than the lit tle three cornered beechnuts, but very few people have the patience to take them out of their brown leathery jack ets, let alone hunt for them and pick tlieni ui). They are generally left for the pigs and the squirrels. Many birds are exceedingly fond of them, and it is said that in certain localities the num ber of redheaded woodpeckers which remain for the winter can he pretty ac curately determined by the size of t lie beechnut erop the preceding autumn. The (lunrrclNome Kittens. Two little kittens, One stormy night. Began to quarrel And then to fight. One had a mouse, And the other had none. And that's the way The quarrel begun. "1 will have that mouse," Said the biggest rat. "You'll have that muuset We'll sec about that!" t£i -V- \ "I will have that mouse," Said the tortoise shell. And, spitting and scratching, On her sister she fell. The old lady took The sweeping broom And swept them both Right out of the room. The ground, was covered Thick with snow; They had lost t lie mouse And had nowhere to go. So they lay and shivered Beside the door Till the old lady had finished Sweeping the door. And then they crept in . As quiet as mice, All wet with snow Aad cold as ice. 1 And found it much better y That stormy night To lie t>y the firt * i* Than quarrel and fight.
