Election day, Nov. 4.
Strikes tire a sign of prosperity. You
rarely hear of strikes 'when times are
'liui'd. Democratic administration does
not produce strikes. It produces soup
houses.
When Victory Will Come.
PUESIDENT GOMPERS states
the expectation of the miners
as belnjr that "at least some
measure of victory will be
nttained" and that "the organization
will be upheld at all hazards." Yet the
organization was in a healthy condition
when the strike began and did not need
the strike to strengthen It. But If only
"some measure of victory" is to be ex
pected, will it be sufficient to compen
sate for all that the strike has cost
those engaged in it, to say nothing of
the public".'
We do not doubt that victory will be
attained by the miners In the long run,
In spite of the strike. It is plainly to
be seen that when the present cruel war
Is over a new spirit will ente.r Into the
relations of employer and employe in
the anthracite Industry the spirit of
mutual respect which sometimes Is bet
ter manifested after a bitter light than
before. It may readily be believed that
neither side, after the present lesson,
will take rash chances of Incurring the
other's ill will but will strive to gain
each other's good will and put mutual
Interests on a footing of profit and
stability. That will work out, as sure
as fate. It would have worked out, in
our opinion, had there been no strike.
It is in the air. American industry is
coming to it more und more each year.
What has to be learned by both sides,
however, Is that there is a better way
of coming to such an understanding
than by punishing each other and im
posing on the public. While the spirit
exists in a community which takes life
and destroys property to terrorize Into
idleness men who want to work, the
rough tug of war is Inevitable. The
victory to labor will come when this
spirit of anarchy Is crushed to death.
It cannot come before. '
The American worklugmau will vote
In November to keep the dinner pall
full.
Uniform Primaries.
IN VIEW of the demand In this
state for a uniform primary elec
tion law, Interest attaches to the
experiment just tested In Min
nesota. The legislature of 1901 In that
Btate passed a law requiring nil nom
inations for congress and Judicial, legis
lative and county olllces to be mude on
u specllled day, not less than seven
weoks'bpforo election, all parties to vote
Simultaneously In separate ballot boxes,
under the supervision of the regular
election officers. The modus operandi is
us follows:
When tho voter appears at the polls
nnd demands to voto hi "register number
Is looked for, and If he Is not registered
he cannot voto nt this time, but he may
register for tho next primary. If ho Is
registered ho receives an Australian bal
lot of the party In which he Is registered.
If he refuses ihU bullnt, announcing
that lio has changed his politics, he Is
not allowed to voto at this primary, but
may J-e-reglntcr himself for tho next prl
luuryj If tin) voter at tho primary Is
chalUmgcd lo may vote by ttiklng the
oath (Unit ho voted that party ticket at
the last general election. Thu primary
ticket urn inuda oat and printed by tho
county auditor. Tho regular canvassing
board' cauvubscs ami uiiiouuces the re
sult. iTho caiidlduto receiving tho hlgh-
Cit number of votes In tho municipality
or county or district is declared tlio
nominee. Tho candidates announce
themselves by a petition or a certain
percentage of tho votorx of tho party,
nnd fliis petition, In cabo of u congress
nomination, for example, must conio
' proportionately from ull parts of tho dis
trict. Tho Hist election under this act took
placet one week ago, with Interesting
features. The plan, we are told upon
Independent authority, worked woll in
the itjaln, but of courso offered oppor
tunities for criticism ""'1 disclosed
peed 'of amendment In certain directions.-,
Ear example, In the nomination
of candidates for congress it so hap
pened that tjto Democratic nominations
were uncontested, whllo In each dis
trict (rtfrn two to nine Republican as
pirant's were running. It Is clmrged
that In same cuses the Democrats
voted' enough Democratic votes for
weak Republican candidates to glvo
them the nomination; but this (a a
jame that two could pluy, a fact likely
to cuiise It to be abandoned (n course
of tim.
The most serious objection raised by
v thoso opposed to the law is that it
practically puts the poor mun out of
the running. The recent canvass was
conducted on the same lines na a gen
eral election. Candidates had district
and county headquarters, with ox
pcnulve organizations to brlnir out tho
vole and pay transportation charges.
it Is estimated that the personal ex
penses of tho 'various candidates for
congress In tho nine districts In Minne
sota aggregated $1I0,000, averaging
about $8,000 apiece for those Who won
nnd thoso who lost. In a stale Ilka
Mlnnrsoln, where economy In political
expenditure has been Hie rule and
where many men expect to pay the
expenses of their campaigns out of tlte
salaries of tho olllces they seek and
live' on whnt Is left, this scale of costs
Is virtually prohibitive, nut when tho
system is older this may work out. It
will not prevent an active poor man of
extraordinary ability and popularity
from defeating tit slight personal ex
pense; tin ordinary opponent relying
on the, use of money.
There was some murmuring among
the voters at the provision requiring
them to declare their party olllllutlons
when asking for ballots. It came from
those who wanted to voto for friends
In eacli party. The provision Is neces
sary, however, to prevent trading. It
is proper that Republicans should
make Republican nominations and
Democrats tho Democratic nomina
tions. At the general election each citi
zen may split his ticket as much as he
pleases, if he Is of tho ticket-splitting
kind; but at tho primaries the sheep
should be kept separate from tho goats,
In fairness to both.
Altogether it Is conceded that the
Minnesota plan worked fairly well on
Its first trial and that tho nominations
made were the ones that a majority of
the voters wanted. That, after all, Is
tho main point.
Thus far public opinion has been
largely directed toward getting the
operators to yield. This lino of effort
having failed and tho need of coal being
Increasingly felt as winter approaches,
it would not be strange if tho public
should begin to try a new tack that of
trying to induce the mine workers to
give in. A good many persons have ap
peared to lose sight of the fact that the
strike was begun by the mine workers
and not by the operators; that it was
not a lock-out but a walk-out. The
advance of two years ago had not been
cancelled by the operators. It was in
full force when the men struck. They
had been willing to work under Its
terms for, nearly two years, during
which time the,publlo made no demands
upon the operators to take additional
action. If conditions were tolerable for
two years could they not, in a pinch,
be endured longer? Is a question being
asked. When the public realizes this
and is driven by Its own needs to more
radical action, it is quite asllkely to
visit its displeasure on Mitchell's side
of the controversy as on Baer's.
The Freedom of Labor.
OMI3 months ago a committee
of the British Iron Trade as
sociation made an Investiga
tion of business conditions in
the United States with special refer
ence to tho reasons for this country's
remarkably rapid recent advances in
the production and marketing of iron
and steel. When it got home it made
an extended report, just published. The
report covers a multitude of subjects,
but its reference to the labor situation
has special Interest now. We quote:
"The almost absolute freedom of
labor (In America) has been the chief
instrument whereby It has won such
conquests in the field of Industrial econ
omy during the last quarter of a cen
tury. In all countries Industrial pro
cesses have been greatly cheapened dur
ing that period, but in America tho
cheapening appears to haye been car
ried farther than nnywhere else. Ac
cording to figures recently made public
by William Garrett, a rallrollcr in an
up-to-dnte rail mill Is paid less than
one cent per ton for rolling, against
fifteen cents at a not very remote date.
Within that time, again, a wire rod
roller has seen his earnings per ton re
duced from $'.U2 to eighteen cents pet
ton, and yet he earns larger wages ut
the lower (lguiv, while live cents are
paid today for heating billets to make
wire rods, against eighty cents during
the period referred to. 'If rod rollers,'
says Mr. Garrett, 'were to receive the
same wages per ton that they did
twenty years ago, they would cum 424
per day.'
"The average output per worker has
In all cases Increased enormously. At
the nine Edgar-Thomson blast fur
naces, I was told that l.COO men are em
ployed for an output of 2-1,500 tons per
week, Including all tho hands employed
In handling and blocking raw.mateiinls,
transport, etc. This gives an average
of IC.S tons of pig per man per week,
or 793.5 tons per man per nnnum. The
minimum wage paid at the blast fur
naces Is $1.00 per day of twelve houts.
I did not get tho averago wage paid at
these works, but A. C. Dinkey, the man
ager of tho Homestead works, recently
testified that the averago earnings of
tho workmen there, Including officials,
Is $2,73 per duy, whllo the earnings of
rollers and heaters rlso to ?15 per day.
Wages, In short, are generally so good,
and the men have their futures so much
In their own hands, that they have
every encouragement to do tho best
they can both for their employers and
for themselves.
"The human factor and tho personal
equation appear to count In the United
States for more than they generally do
In Europe, Workmen appear to enjoy
a larger nieuBure of Independence,
based on tho knowledge of the fact that
work is more easy to obtain than in
older countries; that they are able, as
a rule, to save money, and are, there
fore, less dependent thun when living,
as is not unusual in Europe, from hand
to mouth, una that they aro living
under a political regime which is
founded on democratic principles. Two
features of tho relfUms of employers
and employed muyrbe named as exer
cising a powerful influence on tho
amity of their connection the first, the
encouragement nnd reward of work
men's inventions, and tho second, the
readiness with which workmen of ex
ceptional capacity can themselves be
come employers and capitalists."
Tho phruso "freedom of labor" la im
portant because it la the broad fact
throughout 'the United States. At times
s
it Is challenged by employers nnd again
by extremists among the trade union
ists! hut In tho long run the nntlve
common sense and Inherited Independ
ence of tho Anglo-Saxon stock nsscrt
themselves and tltcso incidental ob
stacles to labor's development are
brushed away. This historic nnd abso
lute fact Is a good tiling to remember
nt n tlmo when the local horizon Is by
no means cloudless.
General Alger's victorious campaign
for tho Michigan senntorshlp will re
store the good humor that, ho lost under
adverse circumstances; please his many
friends, who believe that ho was un
fairly criticized nnd sacrificed while
secretary of war; and afford to the Re
publican party of Michigan a creditable
nnd , efficient representation In tho
senate chamber. In the light of this
vindication ho can afford to bo gener
ous toward those who formerly Incurred
his displeasure. He will, moreover, find
life In the senate far more soothing
than wob his earlier Job. '
According to reports of the most re
cent negro cremation In Mississippi, tho
victim of the will of "the best citizens"
acknowledged thnt he deserved his fate
and went willingly to the stake. Tho
average reader may have some doubts
as to the attractive features of a South
ern lynching ut short range, but when
placed upon record by the suave cor
respondent, It certainly becomes a very
quiet and orderly affair.
Another transcontinental railroad Is
plunned and It Is a splendid testimon
ial to Republican times. There was
very little new railroad building when
the Democrats were In power. In
those days most railroad managers had
all they could do to keep out of re
ceivers' hands.
David E. Thompson, our new minis
ter to Brazil, began his active career
32 years ago, at Lincoln, Neb., as a
truck driver and Is today a millionaire.
He probably does not agree with Mr.
Bryan that the young mun has no
chance.
From 1893 to 1897, Democratic years,
bank deposits Increased throughout the
United States $506,357,371; while from
1897 to 1901, Republican years, the In
crease was $3,33S,20j,G06, or six times as
much. Who says change?
Reports of the effect of the anti
canteen law are somewhat discourag
ing, but tho promoters can comfort
themselves with the assurance that
their efforts in its behalf were well
meaning.
Tho very fact that the trusts are
afraid of Theodore Roosevelt supplies
a strong reason why those opposed to
trust abuses should elect a congress to
uphold Roosevelt's hands.
David B. Hill has not yet disclosed
the name of the victim ho is going to
put in against Governor Odell; but it is
safe to assume that his initials will
spell M. U. D.
Laura Blggar may not get the Ben
nett millions, but there is no doubt that
she Is getting a splendid lot of free ad
vertising worth nearly as much.
The report that May Yohe and Brad
ley Strong have finally got married ex
cites tho suspicion that their punish
ment Ills their crime. ' '
Another wail from Carl Schurz' little
flock of doleful antl-lmperlallsts shows
that their sense of humor is still absent.
Every one seems to have had some
thing to say about the Contralia affair
save Sheriff Knorr.
Mr. Pattlson Is a good talking re
former, but this Is not a year for talk
ing reformers.
m
In the case of Morris and Penman,
one good term deserves another.
Possibly the Devery kind of politics
is the kind New York wants.
Although a trifle Into, there Is nothing
stingy ubout the equinoctial.
fln Object Lesson
front Paferson
IN ITS annual review of tho silk In
dustiy In America, thu Silk associa
tion, through Its secretary, Franklin
Allen, devote a good deal of space
to a consideration of tho recent labor
troubles In tho silk mills of Paterson
und of Hudson county, N. J,
In the btrllte in Piiterson. which began
In April last, silk dyers and helpers, who
vcro tmdar contract for a yeur ut an
itdvaneo in wages, threw this contract
to tho winds and quit work. They not
only would not work themselves, but
they mado troublo nt other shops mid
forbadu others going to work in the
places they had voluntarily loft.
When this stiiltu began, according to
the Silk association, dyers' helpers and
laborers who worked In tho day shift
woru receiving $'J 11 week nnd night
workers were receiving $10. A fulr estl
iniito of the number of men nut on strike
Is -1,000. Allowing for additional wages
paid to skilled workmen, tho weekly
pay-roll averaged $11 per man per week,
Tho strike lusted twelvo weeks, thus en
tailing a direct loss in wages to the
dyers und helpers of $J2S,C00. Tho em
ployers offeied 11 compromise of $1 a
week In wubc-h. lly not accepting this,
tho men lost an additional ?IS,000, making
u total loss of iJ7U,O0O, In Hudson coun
ty thoro was a loss of $93,000 through' the
ilyor' strlko In Paterson, and of $210,0C0
through tho weavers' btriko In Hudson
county Itself a total loss for Hudson
county of $303,UQ0, or a grunt! total loss
of $!79,000 to tho strikers of Paterson and
of Hudson county.
This was a direct loss to tho employes,
becnuso when they dually did return to
work after three inoutlu' Idleness, It wag
at tho old wages of n u week, which
thoy were receiving at tho tlmo the
strlko began. Concerning tho collateral
effects of the stilko, tho review of the
Silk association says; "Tho silk dyeing
business of Paterson wus ruined for
twelvo weeks. Aside from tho direct loss
to the employes uud employer, the silk
trade of tbo country wuh materially in
terfered with, Yhon skein silk cannot
be dyed many classes of silk goods can
not be made. Usually, manufacturers
do not carry u stock of skeln-dyed bilk
uultlclent for mora thun four or six
weeks' supply, At tho end of tho strike,
the market wui baro of taffeta silk. The
Bcurclty affected tho retail trade. The
curtulled output of vktin-dyed silk In
Paterson umountcd to ut least 1,000,004
pounds of ruw silk, resulting la a cur
tulled production of $'.,Q0,000 In finished
fc'OOdd.
"Fur-ticelns merchants were Importing
silks In lnt'ger quantities from Europe.
Manufacturers hero were sending skein
silk to bo dyed In other states. Nevcr
thless, tho averago man of business
realized the prlnciplo nt stake In tho
struggle. As n matter of moral princi
ple and business honor, tho silk trado
sided with the employers. Aside from
nil questions of Individual losi or gain,
tho manufacturers felt that tho manner
In which ,tlio demands of the strikers
were mndo and tho damnRO wilfully In
Illcled when tho employes broko from
work, required thnt tho strikers first bo
bnck, leaving the question of an ad
vance, In wages to bo considered after
ward, "To Rtalo the question nnd Issue plain
ly, It was whether labor lenders should
mnnngc the business of tho silk dyers.
For varlotiH business reasons; this Is not
nn nttownblo contention. It Is nkln to
thnt other contention that tho Individual
workman Is not the arbiter of his own
destiny. Americans nro ns much opposed
to those contentions as they nro to dis
turbers of law and order, und tho scale
on which these contentions nro being
fought out In the United States at pres
ent Is, fortunately, of sufficient size to
concentrate, upon tho strugglo tho atten
tion of a far larger number of pcoplo
than ever before."
