FREELAND, i\\.. MARCH 23, 1896.
Who Controls Freeland's Streets?
The dispute between the borough
council and tlie Lehigh Traction Com
pany over the snow on South Centre
street is a small affair in itself, but the
principle involved is much greater than
appears at first sight. In dealing with
this company the council of Frooland
has been lenient to a degree far beyond
that which was considered necessary by
man} of the taxpayers. As soon as the
battle over tile right of way in Foster '
township between it and the now de- j
Timet Union Passenger Railway Com
pany (in which local men were Interest
ed) was settled in the courts, the coun
eilmen threw open our streets to the
Ha/.leton capitalists and invited them
to occupy the thoroughfares with but
few restrictions.
A lengthy ordinance was passed and j
published, for which the borottgii paid
the local papers, with the understanding ;
that the Lehigh Traction Company would j
refund that expense. Not only has the |
company failed to pay for the publishing i
<f the ordinance, which, by the way. i
amounted to about but its directors ;
refused to avail themselves of the privi
leges then given them.
These privileges were granted because
the Traction's representatives pleaded
-o hard for a right of way to enable the
road to roach South lieberton and Upper
Lehigh. However, it appears that the
Traction people could see no benefit to
Ha/.leton in extending the tracks to
Upper Lehigh, and as it was never their
intention to benefit Freeland. they allow
ed the ordinance which gave them the
right to occupy uptown streets to be
come void.
Their actions were then construed by
Freeland people as a notice that in all
future dealings with that corporation
Freeland must look to its own interests
first, last and all the time. The reject
ing of the privileges which were begged
for by the company and granted by the
council was a deliberate insult to the
people of this town, and was so taken by
• very citizen conversant with the facts.
Last winter the business men of South
Lent re street complained of the incon
venience to which they were put by the
company hanking the snow along the
sides of the,- street, thereby shutting out
the merchants* teams and preventing
\ chick s from passing one another. For
more than two months last year that
pari of Centre street which is occupied
by tracks was given up to the sole use of
the company, because it was dangerous
for others to venture thereon.
During the summer months the fast
and reckless running of the trolley cars
caused much apprehension among par
ents in that end of town, and scarcely
a day passed that did not have to its
••redit a miraculous escape or two by
children. Again complaints were made,
and a protest was filed with the Traction
Company's officials, but the danger ap
parently was not lessened.
The manner in which these abuses
were tolerated by the borough council
and the lenient steps which were taken
to correct them caused many to believe
t hut a Traction pass was of more con
cern to our borough lawmakers than the
life and interests of the people. That,
however, was a belief which the Tur
in nk did not share, nevertheless cir
cumstances gave some grounds for peo
ple to think as they did.
There were no heavy falls of snow
this winter until the recent storm came.
Immediately, the company adopted the
plan of the previous year, and again
barred out the business men and resi
dents of South Centre from the use of
the street in front of their properties.
The street committee of council at
niice secured legal advice and notice was
-erved on the company to remove the
snow which had been thrown from its
tracks. The result was given in the
new- columns of our last issue. The
people of Freeland were told to "go to
I, to use the language of the com
pany's seeretary, hut it is not likely the
injunction will be obeyed until it comes
from some place higher than the office
of Mr. Markie.
By order of the borough officials the
snow has been removed. There was
some expense attached to the removal,
and tiie duty of the cotiucilmeu is now
to live up strictly to the contents of its
notice to the company, i. e.. to compel
the company to pay every cent of ex
pense incurred.
It is not just that the taxpayers should
have saddled upon them any more bills
contracted through litis corporation's
negligence. Freeland can better afford
to incur t Ite. enmity of the press-muzzling
crowd than to placidly humble itself to
any set of grasping men. So far the
town has prospered without the aid of
outside dictators, and the independent
spirit of our people will not be broken by
tlie insolence- of Traction magnates.
Upon the eounrilinen lias now fallen the
honor of upholding the dignity of Free
laud. Do it faithfully and well, the
people arc with you.
LIVE QUESTIONS.
A Series Articles Contributed to These
Columns by Advanced Thinkers.
INDUSTRIAL CONCILIATION.
Whenever a strike or lockout is of
sufficient importance to attract public
attention, after it has continued for a
few days there begins to bo talk of "ar
bitration" on the part of the press and
of the workiugmeu who aro engaged in
the contest.
If arbitration is resorted to, the ques
tions in dispute are referred to one or
more arbitrators, who hear both sides
and decide between them. This is, of
course, a judicial process, except that
the submission of the question on both
sides is purely voluntary, as neither can
force the other into court, and the obli
gation to abide by the decision is moral
only; there is nothing legally binding
in it.
Usually strikes and lockouts are set
tled in a less formal way by the iutor
vention of persons inspired either by
private or public interest, who act as
go bet weens and run from one side to
the other, gaining a little concession
here and there, smoothing away one
difficulty after another, and finally ar
ranging matters with as little loss of
dignity as possible to the contending
parties.
But between civilized bodies of men
whoso services are vitally important to
each other, who make their living by
the help of each other, it is a disgrace
that there should bo these constantly re
curring contentions.
They arise only from the selfishness
and tyranny of men, unrestrained by
nobler qualities, and selfishness aud tyr
anny arc equally hateful and mischie
vous whether exhibited by employers or
employed. Unfortunately, whichever
side has had the power has usually ex
ercised it in so arrogant a manner aud
with such unrelenting harshness as to
goad the othor side to resistance, result
ing often in a state of open warfare
which has continued cither until one
side or the other is quite conquered,
when the old series of acts is begun
again to end in the same way or until
both sides are exhausted.
i The fact needs to ho emphasized that
the same qualities have been exhibited
by both sides, that human nature, when
undiscipliuod, is very much the same
thing "in masters and in men," and
that neither side has a light to cast
stones, but both should cry "moa culpa,
mea culpa!" At times it is the labor or
gan izations which are dictatorial, while
the employers cringe and relinquish all
their rights to maintain peace, but more
frequently the employers are arbitrary
and tyrannical, asserting loudly that
they "intend to manage their own busi
ness as they choose and will not be in
| terforod with by their workmen."
I IN SOLVING A I'ROULE.U USE ALLTIIE FACTORS
Hero is the weak point—there will
never be justice between employers and
employees, and consequently there will
never be a lasting peace, until the pub
lic and the employers recognize the
claim of the employees to a voice in the
settlement of questions relating to the
I conditions of labor. These questions are
I of vital importance to the employees,
j and do, in fact, more nearly concern
them than they do the employers, for in
1 the case of the latter it is only their
business success or their living which is
j involved, while with the employees all
j interests are at stako. It can scarcely be
i expected that American citizens who
havo been born and bred with the in
stincts of freemen will submit tamely
to a s3'ston which places their welfare
entirely in tho hands of others.
: Tho above suggestion will be new to
! many, and may seem to bo unreason
; able, but the more it is considered tho
more just it will show itself to be, aud
it will finally bo acknowledged to bo
, true. As Mr. William H. Say ward, sec
retary of tho National Association of
: Builders (an association of employers),
says in a lecture on tho "Relation of
i Employer and Workman :"
j "Tho labor question has two compo
nent parts, tho employing or profit labor
and the performing or wago labor, and
; it; is folly to attempt to deal with tho
j question at all unless both parties are
! united in tho consideration. Neither
! party to the joint interest can handle
tho question alone."
lION. C. 1. ADAMS ON ARBITRATION.
1 The next question is the practical one,
I "How can employees be taken into the
councils of their employers?" and the
answer made by Mr. Charles Francis
| Adams, for many years stuto railroad
commissioner in Massachusetts and for
1 many years also president of tho Union
j Pacilic railroad, in an urticlo entitled
j "The Prevention of Railroad Strikes,"
is one which must cause a responsive
thrill in every American breast:
"It will bo impossible to establish
1 perfectly good faith and tho highest
I morale in the service of the companies
(railroad) until the problem of giving
this voice to employees and giving it
| effectively is solved. It can be solved in
; but one way, that is, by representation.
To solve it may mean industrial peace.
"It is impossible to dispose of these
difficult matters in town meetings.
Nevertheless, tho town meeting must
bo nt the base of any successful plan of
i disposing of them. The end in view is
! to bring the employer—who in this case
! is tho company, represented by its pres
ident and board of directors—and the
' employees into direct and immediate
: contact through a representative system.
When thus brought into direct and im
mediate contact, tho parties must arrive
at results through the usual methods;
that is, by discussion and rational agree
ment.
i "It follows the linos of action with
| which the peoplo of this country are
; most familiar. Tho path is that in
! which for centuries they havo been ac
j customed to tread. It lias led them out
lof many difficulties. Why not out of
this difficulty?"
THE REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM BEST.
Mr. Adams' solution is, so far ns
American railroads are concerned, pure-
Ily theoretic. Tbere is in other iudua-
trial fields proof that the principles ho
advocates aro correct. Experience has
demonstrated that the representative
systom is as useful in business as in gov
ernment. For the last 20 or <3O years in
many largo industries in England all
questions of conditions of work have
been sottled, without strike or lockout,
by "joint boards," "boards of concilia
tion" or "arbitration boards," on which
the associations of employers and em
ployees have both been represented by
delegates duly chosen and empowered to
legislate for their constituents, and on
these boards the employers and employ
ees have always had an equal represen
tation. In our country also and in Bel
gium such boards aro known and have
met with equal success, but the practice
of justice with us has been neither so
long nor so widely extended as in Eng
land, and, strangely enough, employers
here, instead of instinctively recogniz
ing that this is the only solution of the
difficulties of the "labor question," as
sume a tone of arbitrary ownership and
proclaim their right to issue ordors
which must bo obeyed.
From business men one might have
expected more "practical"conduct, since
it is very evident that those who adopt
this position do not succeed in avoiding
labor conflicts and disturbances which
cause them great loss and trouble, while
the employers who recoguizo the justice
of their employees' claim to a joint con
trol in questions of common interest do
escapo them.
In the cases where "joint boards"
aro formed the preliminary step usually
is the mutual recognition that both
bides aro übout equal in strength, that
each can injure the other seriously, but
that neither can conquer the other. The
proof of this necessarily comes from the
experience of a long series of alternat
ing strikes and lockouts—the employees
making unreasonable demands when
trade is good, the employers doing the
same when trade is bad, a system "niu
tually predatory." Finally it occurs to
a few men on one side or the other that
the whole tiling is unworthy of intelli
gent men who make their living by the
help of each other.
This sounds simple enough, and to a
disinterested observer seems the only
reasonablo method of settling questions
which aro of the greatest importance to
both employers and employed, which
cannot be settled except by mutual con
sent, either forced or voluntary, and
which must bo settled if business is to
continue.
And yet the obstinacy and arrogance
of men make this reasonable arrange
ment a very difficult one to accomplish.
FAIUNT.S:; ON BOTH SIDES.
The two sides must bo about equal in
strength, or, in ether words, both must
be "well organized"—thero must be a
| strong association of employers and a
strong trades union or other labor organ
ization, both of which shall represent
the majority of the employers and work
men in the trade. This is necessary be
cause the "joint committee" or "wages
board" must bo composed of representa
tives who are authorized to bind their
constituents; otherwise their agreements
would bo empty words.
Besides this, however, both the ropre
sent at iv es and the organizations they
represent must in the main bo honest i
men, intelligent men, or the plan will ;
fail. JOSEPHINE KIIAW LOWELL.

THE LOCAL PAPER.
In newspaper woik as well as elso
where "distance lends enchantment, to
the view." Many peoplo imagine that
the paper published fur away is for that
very reason Letter than the homo paper.
But this is often not the case.
Every one should ho deeply interested
in the home paper—support it heartily.
| The newspaper is the greatest means
; for spreading knowledgo in existence.
It is the one means, the only one, that
| reaches all the peoplo with knowledge,
and hence is at onco school, professor
and textbook combined.
The newspaper, moro and more, is
catering to the tastes of all classes. Its
editorial policy may ho for one party or
denomination, but in its pages will be
found a vast variety of opinions on all
kinds of subjects. The secret of the suc
cess of the gioat dailies is this—that
ikey have opened their columns to all
kinds of ideas. I am sure that this is
the mot hod and purpose of all local pa
pers who know the trend of things uud
appreciate the situation.
I The editor who would admit nothing
into his pages hut that which agreed
' with his own views would certainly be
, out of place and not succeed.
I As the forum where opinions and
I theories meet and clash, lose and win,
I the local paper is a great institution,
; and is destined to have a still greater
future.
Along tko two or three lines hinted
above—viz, (1) greater variety, (2) more
literary finish, (53) greater accuracy in
statement, whether in argument, de
: scriptions or reports—the newspapor of
the fnturo will develop, and editors ev
erywhere are planning and working in
: those directions. Now, the reader is not
I always aware of the great difficulties
! and large expenditures necessary for
such improvements. Hence his (or her)
warm co-operation is of great value.
Too many peoplo, for example, do not
appreciate the fact that a notice, an
! nouueement, report or article written
for the local paper should be well writ
| Leu. Wo dash off a paragraph of news
j and hand it to the editor with not much
care as to its accuracy or its graceful
; uess of diction. In writing the most
' commonplace of announcements we
! should bo as careful as in preparing an
| essay that is to be perused by a critic.
1 Again, there are hundreds of good
' thoughts cherished in every community
that never get into print. If these sin
cere and capable people would write out
thoit dourest opinions, putting them in
, crisp, cloar, terse and smooth sentences,
editors would be glad to publish them.
| Those are only a few of the many
I ways that we, dear reador, can help the
editor, and wo owo it to the cause of
| human progress to do so.

MATTERS
—of the—
MOMENT.
Subjects in XVhieh the Citizens of
Preeland and Surroundings
Are Interested at the
Present Time.
The Citizens' lloso Company has at
length realized the noeessity of a more
adequate tire alarm system in the bor
ough, and at its last meeting sent out a
committee to devise a method and re
port it to council at Us next monthly
meeting. This is a matter which has
rested with the hose company for some
time, and it is some satisfaction to know
that is finally receiving a little consid
eration. The increased height of the
buildings in the neighborhood of the
pre? o it bell, and the ever-changing wind
current, tends to lessen its effect con
siderably, and confine Its sound almost
to within a few blocks of its location.
The manner of ringing the bell also ad
mits of a great variety of tone, and at
every succeeding lire in town there arc
numbers of people who do not hoar the
alarm at ail. This is one of the worst
features of the present system. In a
town where protection from lire depends
upon volunteer effort, and when the ma
jority of citizens are nearly always at
work in outside places, it is necessary
that we should have an alarm capable,
at least, of reaching every ear within
the borough limits, in order to command
all the assistance available.
X X X
The closing days of spring and the
short period of rest before the com
mencement of spring activities, again
brings an influx of the younger genera
tion from school. An observation of the
students from the various institutions
•>f learning is interesting—interesting
to those who have gone through a high
er curriculum, interesting because of the
comparative distinctiveness of student
life and interesting as a means of study
ing the effects of the methods practiced
in the different schools. But far more
interesting is the subject, when the con
ditions which have superinduced tiie
the contributions of the coal regions to
the normal schools are considered. The
normal schools of the state are Invari
ibly chosen by the parents of tills region,
who aro desirous of educating their sons
and daughters, and the aim of tiie latter
to become educators themselves seems
to be their uppermost ambition. The
aim is a worthy one, but unfortunately
the vocation is often mistaken and re
sults in dismal failure. However, the ;
sincerity of the. parents, who have learn
ed through sad experience what the ad
vantages of a school education would
mean, and who arc compelled to make
many sacrifices to carry out their object,
is deserving of the highest praise.
t t t
When the condition of the coal region
at the present time is taken into ac
count, and the common transition of in
dustrial life, that of the son being the
same as the father, following the same
line of work, Is considered as a natural
sequence, the effect on the mind is ap
palling. The future of coal mining of
fers nothing desirable to the young
man. The remuneratlveness it once
possessed has departed, and the inces
sant drudgery of the? work Is becoming
more repulsive. The European element
has driven the English-speaking people
out of the mines in large numbers, but
a great many yet remain, and It Is a
self-evident fact that the familiar inter
course of this class witli the Huns, the
Holes and the Slavs, has been detrimen
tal to them rather than elevating to the
new comers. The effect of this driving
out of the hotter classes from coal min
ing is what is sending the younger gen
eration to school, and they are tin; most
earnest students at school today. Those
young men whom misfortunes in the
mines have denied the advantages of a
school education, constitute a homo
studying class which can scarcely be
rivalled outside of the coal region, whose
ambition is the ultimate abandon
ment of the work which has rendered
them nothing.
t t t
The Mining and Mechanical Institute
of Freeland lias been the means of satis
fying the desire of this latter class of
young men about the mines, and while
the spirit of education has not yet dif
fused itself among them to tlio extent
hoped for by the projectors of the insti
tute, it lias, nevertheless, manifested it
self sufficiently to show that with a little
more substantial encouragement it may
soon become general. The branches of
study at the institute, other than mining
—which, however, possesses many devo
tees In its higher workings—are the
ones most pursued by the young men,
and the earnest application of the stu
dents emphasizes the conclusion stated
above, namely, that it is not the desire
of the average young men in the coal
region today to continue the work of his
fathers.

'Are the only HIGH GRADE and strict
ly first class pianos sold direct from
the factory to the final buyer.
Are the only pianos on which you can
save the dealers' profits and enor
mous expenses, agents' salaries and
music teachers' commissions.
Are the only pianos every agrexit
condemns, for the natural
reason that NO AGENTS are em
ployed by us.
Are the only pianos which are not sold
in a single store in the United
States, because we closed all our
agencies over a year ago, and now
sell only to the final buyer, at the
actual cost of production at our
factory. We have no store on
Broad street, but the factory ware
room is open every day till G p. m.,
and Saturday evenings from 7 to 10.
