Concerning Drenches of Fnltli.
JOHN MITHIKM;, presldf-nt of
the I'nlted Mine Workers of
America, Is deservedly receiv
ing widespread praise for what
he recently wrote In the Independent
upon the sanctity of contracts: and al
though In the mine strike last year
the Markle employes at .Teddo were
counseled and Induced by Mr. Mitchell
and his tepresentatlves to break a
contract In order that the miners' bat
tle line should be continuous, the nrgu
ment being that the end justified the
questionable means, yet with this ex
ception we believe his theory and
practice coincide.
"It goes without saying." the Inde
pendent article said, "that every strike
and every lockout nffects seriously
others than those directly engaged in
the strike or lockout. Oreat public
Interests are involved, and It Is cer
tainly a matter of no small concern
to the public that some method be
adopted through which strikes and
lockouts may be entirely avoided, or at
least reduced to the minimum. Ex
perience has demonstrated that the
most practicable plan which the In
genuity of man has been able up to
this time to devise is for employers
to recognize the union, meet Its repre
sentatives In conference, enter into
trade agreements which define In detail
the conditions of employment which
shall obtain during the life of such
agreements. The constitution and
laws of nearly every labor organiza
tion make it an offense punishable by
expulsion for any member to violate
a trade agreement, or even by subter
fuge to evade any of Its provision".
The officers of the trade organizations
of the present day recognize the great
responsibility resting upon them, and
they are few tndeed who dare, even
If thfy were so Inclined, ruthlessly to
disregard the sacred obligations of n
contract."
As a statement of what should b
this last sentence could hardly be im
proved upon. That It accurately de
scribes what is may well be doubted
In view of the exhibitions to the con
trary continually on view. The Amal
gamated association's present strike Is
conspicuously In evidence In this re
spect. The strike of the tin plate
workers was In direct defiance of n
year's contract, the Ink upon which
had hardly had time to dry. They
had no grievance over hours or rrny;
all matters nt Issue between them
selves and the American Tin Plate
company had been adjusted in confer
ence and the details of that agree
ment reduced to contract form, yet
when Shaffer said strike, they struck,
without n moment's thought concern
ing th contract, and it was the same
at Jollet. and Ray View. Th"
men had agreed to woik for
a year, and when Shaffer's strike
order camo they at first voted
to keep faith with their employers,
but emissaries of the association were
sent to talk them Into an attitude of
perfidy, and today they nro Idle.
Mr. Mitchell wrles that he has never
known an Instance "where the repre
sentatives of capital and labor have
failed to agree when the two sat down
together, put their feet under the
table and told one another the ahso.
lute truth." Honest conference Is un
doubtedly the best way to settle any
difference. But It Is more essential
that the leaders of labor unions should
establish a character for good faith
In the fulfilment of their engagements
thanyhnt such a character should be
established by tho men who direct
large-Industries, We say more essen
tial, not because dishonesty Is pardon
able ;,pn either side, but because a

resents something tangible. In court,

pany's side furnishes a basis for the
recovery of damages; while Mr. Mar

Refuting u Fallacy
AYS THK rYltston Oaste-lte: "It
Is decidedly refreshing.. In
these days when railway and
other I'orponulons ns n rule
squeeze, down the wages and privil
eges of their employes to the lowest
poslble notch, to read of such a gen
erous act ns that recently performed
by the IJenver nnd Hlo ft ramie rail
road, which distributed 1,000 shares of
stock, with n market value amounting
to $1,000,000, among old employes of the
road. Even section foremen were
among the beneficiaries. The old ofll
clal of the railroad, who retired when
the lino was sold some six months ago,
rightly concluded that the employes
had had no little hand In accumulat
ing the wealth of tho corporation, and
therefore decided that they should
have a share In the profits. Generosity
like that, If more widely adopted by
prosperous concerns, would go far to
ward harmonizing the differences be
tween capital and labor."
Is It, then, the rule that the large
employing corporations "squeeze down
the wages and privileges of their em
ployes to the lowest possible notch?"
Is not this really the exception, util
ized by demagogues to breed discon
tent and i-omi'tlmcs accepted as the
rule by others who omit to Investi
gate? There Is much In tho Indus
trial situation Just nt this time to
tempt the managers of corporations to
squeeze those of their employes who
are foolish enough to Imagine thnt the
best way to Increase their own wages
and prh lieges Is to make unprofitable
the business of their employers. Hut
most of the men In high places In our
large corporation! nre ton Intelligently
conscious of their responsibilities ns
well as too shrewd and far-sighted to
do any squeezing Just for the sake of
showing their power. tin the con
trary, the signs are many that the
best executive Intelligence of these
much-abused corporations, when un
occupied In righting self-defensive bat
tles against the would-be Napoleons of
trades unionism, is being trained to
solve how best to promote a genuine
"community of Interest" between the
employing and the working Interests.
Wc have seen how rapidly In tlu
past few years the Idea of an old age
pension system has spread among the
managers of our railroads. First
worked out by the Pennsylvania sys
tem, It Is now in force in half a dozen
of the large American railway systems
and Is practically certain to come into
geneinl vogue. The various relief
funds and Insurance schemes connect
ed with American railroading have
been voluntary concessions from the
employing Interests and have usually
come on their Initiative. Profit-sharing,
too, is becoming more general
every day. When the foolish, if not
criminal strike of the Amalgamated
association was sprung, the officials nf
the much-maligned steel trust had al
most completed framing the plans of
a project of profit sharing that would
have Included on generous terms every
one of the thousands of men In Its
employ. The strike will cost these
men millions of dollar, in loss of
wages; do gteat Injury to the com
pany, and necessarily postpone, If not
permanently pi event the establish
ment of a co-operative Investing
feature.
Merely as a sample of what may be
seen in tho papeis almost 'any day
when the strike microbe is not rob
bing the American worklngman of his
sanity or hardening the employer's
heart, we quote from a Pueblo, Col.
letter to the Fun: "For the benefit of
its V 000 employes nnd their families
nn. because It believes that the Invest
ment would bring good returns In more
efficient labor, the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company has established n socio
logical department. It will spend tens
of thousands of dollars yearly In pro
vldlng better educational facilities and
means of social diversion for tho men
employed In Its mines and mills and
for the wives and children of these
men. The proposed work of the de
paitment will be conducted along six
lines, as follows: First Establishment
of kindergartens, night schools and In
struction In domestic economy. SecondCo-operation
with and improve
ment of tho fiee public schools. Third
The establishment of regular courses
of lectin cs Fourth Tho institution of
libraries, leading rooms and art ex
hibits. Fifth Encouragement of the
founding and maintenance of clubs of
all sorts. Sixth Assistance in organ
izing entertainments nnd social gath
erings. In the matter of education It
Is the Intention of the company to give
Its employes In isolated mining camps
all the advantages so far as possible
that they would have In the larger
titles. Lecturers will be sent from
enmp to camp and use will be made of
traveling 'llbiarles and art exhibits,
Hooks nnd reproductions of works of
art will bo sold to employes nt cost
price. It Is tho company's Intention
to encourage the establishment of clulm
providing a suitable building In each
camp. It is hoped in this wny to make.
It no longer possible for tho men to
say that they are forced to spend nil
their spare tlmo In saloons because
these are the worUlngman's only clubs,
Women's dubs also will bo encour
aged and the department will lend a
hand in getting up musical entertain
ments, dances, etc." In short, as tho
president of tho company says: "Wo
believe that by making tho men's sur
roundings plcasanter and by Increasing
their opportunities for Intellectual,
moral and general social Improvement
our employes will bo better able to
co-operate with the company in tho
common mission of de eloping the
great coal and Iron resources of Colo
rado." This lino of thought Is coming more
and moro Into tho minds of tho men
who manage the big affairs of Indus
try and emmerre, and every year
marks notable progress toward tho
Improvement of the social conditions of
s
those who work an tool-users In tho
varied activities of American produc
tion. The talkatlvo fraternity of
notoriety Beckers who manufacture
discontent nmong the worklngmen nnd
fan It Into strikes, boycotts nnd tho
accompaniments of civil war usually
succeed for a time In their personal
ambitions, but they hinder by every
strike and retard by every demagogic
word tho development of a genuine
co-operative spirit between employers
and employed. Tho affairs of labor
are the affairs of capital nnd vice
versa. Labor cannot thrive under a
leadership which seeks first to estab
lish a breach and then to widen It.
Another attempt to scalp Secretary
of the Commonwealth Griest In Lan
caster has come to grief. The Insur
gents have evidently more persistence
than votes.
The Straight Edge Experiment.
A:
N INTERESTING experiment
In co-operative industry is
described nt length In a re
cent bulletin of the bureau
of labor. It concerns a colony planted
In tho heart ot New York city, with
headquarters nt 2t0 Sixth avenue, and
known ns the Strnlght Edge People.
For a year or more they have pub
lished a little paper called the
"Stialght Edge," the objects of which
are set forth to be: "to make sugges
tions and formulate plans for the ap
plication of the Golden Itule to busi
ness nnd social relations." The sub
scrlption price Is designed to pay the
rrvt, of the paper, Ink, postage and
thlrty-flvn cents an hour for the me
chanical nnd clerical work In connec
tion with tho paper. If tho receipts
exceed the cost of these Items, tho
FiirpltiH Is divided among the sub
set Ihers. If they fall short, the sub
scribers nre apprised of tho deficiency
an I thnee who wioh to apply the Gold
en Itule do so. "There are no paid
contributors, and there Is no space
for sale for any purpose or at any
price. Nc-hndy Is In debt for the
Straight Edge, It is easier and cheap
er to foiglve debts than to keep books."
The Industries of the colony at pres
ent ate Jni printing, sign making and
bread baking. The last named Indus
try they hope to develop Into a co
operative kltcher.1 from which to servo
wholesome food at cost to families in
the neighborhood. They have recent
ly tak' n a farm on Staten Island,
where they hope to raise much of the
produco needed for their restaurant
and kitchen In the city. They have
also a small manufacturing plant with
which they turn out certain novelties
they propose to make. Finally, they
hope to ertahllsh n school of co-operative
Industry, where they will teach
thr- art of social and industrial co
creiatinn. T'lese people profess to believe It
both possible and practicable to apply
In actual business nnd social affairs
the principles enunciated In tho Ser
mon on the Mount, nnd to do this
without running away from civiliza
tion. They call their Institution n
school ot methods designed to Instruct
people In the best wny of doing this.
At present the Straight Edge People,
for economic reasons, nre living in a
communal home; but their plan con
templites complete economic Inde
pendence of the workers. Each work
er, young or old, regardless of occu
pation or .skill, receives thirty-five
cents an hour, which each worker is
free to use In establishing n home out
side. They believe in large Irdlvldual
fiei-lnm and encourage individual In
Itlatho in all matters. Any surplus
of earnings over and above thirty-
live cents nn hour for each worker
emplnjed, goes to provide like Indus
trial opportunities for other workers.
These people have an odd way of
distributing their work nnd their re
sponsibilities. They have a suggestion
box Into which nny member may put
anonymous written suggestions re
garding the distribution and execution
of the work to be done. These sugges
tions are taken up anil dlscusse.d at
the weekly business meetings. Each
worker voluntnrlly assumes' the re
sponsibility for such work as he feels
himself best fitted to do. and nil ar
rnngiments are subject to criticism
by nny of the members. The more
disagreeable work Is shifted as often
as practicable In order to equnllzq
the burden. When one has chosen his
work ho Is trusted to do it without
supervision, but encouraged to consult
his fellow workeiti, in case of doubt
as to the best methods.
This plan of dispensing with a boss
Is said to work well nnd to havo a
wholesome and stimulating effect upon
the workers. A system of time cards
enables each' worker to keep his own
record, which Is criticized, amended
and indorsed at the weekly meetings,
nnd all payments nre hased on the
number of hours so returned. The or
ganization started two years ngo with
only $.10 borrowed capital and four
members. Being located in New York
city the rent problem hns always been
a serious one and the growth neces
sarily slow. There are now twelve
adult workers in New York city and
several nddltlonal will be employed
on the farm.
The resemblance between this ex
periment and that worked out by tho
Oneldn community, a sketch of which
was icrently given on this page, Is
very marked. Hut If tho Straight
Edgers. hold together long enough they
will ncqulre a boss. No scheme of life
succeeds without one.
J.utp steel strike developments con-
linn that It Is easier to get men to
quit work than to get Jobs for them
afterward.
Admiral Evans Is now sure that ex
Secretary Chandler Is an Insect, for
he has Jubt felt his second stlng.

Chautauqua, X. V., Auo;, 17.
THIS HAS nKKX (tali week it Chautiurpia,
a week of pecll di)t ind celebrations

was to shew that Chautauquana can appreciate
a Joke a, well a, fine lerture,. lery one
entered into the rpirlt of the occasion and it
wi, a time nf great hilarity. In the atreet

dlirnliiries dlmil"d as Vero. Hmte. Vlroll,
Charon, Cerberus the cmrerer of Rerminy, the

and the a-archlluhts bring Into relief objccti all
our the uroundi.
No one wo-e a more eonaequential air thla
week than tho children of Chautauqua. The
programme called for a "Children's I'av," and
the little folks were on hand to do their ran.
Karly In the evening there wa a parade of the
different clubs thmuch ill the prim ipal street",
followed bv an entertainment in the Amphi

afternoon, he sild: "Dr. llucklev is now here
for the twinty-slvth season an I this lecture will
make the seventy-first he has Riven at Chau

WHEN LABOR IS BADLY LED.
From the St. I.ouls Mirror.
The great steel -.trike, as It spreads, sems to
be hurting the working classes rather than the
capitalist. The worker appear to be striking
their fellows hirder than they are hitting their
"oppressors." F.ach recurring big strike only
ihowa that trades unionism is operating to the
disadvantage of the laborer in every line. The
demands of extremes trades unionism are becom
ing so ruthless that the unionist are losing
svmpa'hv. They denv the right of other men to
earn a living. They dispute the authority of
men over their own properties. They foree tho
mijoritv of their own members to 6tnke when
that majority wants to work. Thev clamor, in
effcu, for slaver, since they as,; thit em
ployers deal not with employes as Individuals,
but with organizations thit cannot be bound by
contract, or held to accountability.
A ttrlke simply for recognition of a union is
pure folly, t'nienlim is not a guarantee of a
workman's ability. man's unionism I not
necessarily one of the qualification for good
service, and it verv often is, in the case of the
worse sort ol workmen, a guarantee only ot
trouble of various sorts. Worklngmen have an
undoubted right to organise, but the emplojer
horn not hire an organizillon. He hires a man.
Let unionism go to its logical limit, and where
will the workingman find himself? He wii! find
himself hired out as one of a bunch, the deal
being made between the tmplojcr ard some
union olnYrr. He will be the creature ot a sort
of walking delegate padrone, who will get from
the emplover for each man he furnishes more
than he will give to the men furnished. -Let
employers deal with unions, rather than with
men, and wc (hall nnd, as ha been found occa
sionally, that tho union offl.er asked to supply
men to an emplover will give the places to the
men who can put up for the privilege.
Strikes do not raleo wigej The time lost on
strike is never made up, ind the winning strikers
nrely last long in the employ of those over
whom they have triumphed, Nevertheless, a
strike for wagu may be, and often Is, defensible,
while a strike for recognition of unionism la a
strike for a recognition of something other than
the individuality of the striken. Unionism li
being carried too far, when it propose! that
emplojers shall b dictated to as to the man
agement of their own a ft airs by men who do not
work for them, by an organization, which, if
iecognized" today, is not In any way to be
kept to good faith tomorrow
MEANING OF CERTAIN NAMES

under tho name of Ilrltannla, which subsequent,
ly became shortened to nrltiln.
Scotland bote th naino of Caledonia, literally
