Dealing with WOrkmen.

In a recent address to the British
Association of Gas Managers, Mr.. Geo.
7. Livesey, the president, made the fol-
lowing observations, which apply not
only to gas men, but to workmen of
every class and profession:
ga source of great anxiety has been,
and is still, the difficulty of dealing
efficiently with their wUrkmen. TN
doubtedly the advance of wages so uni
versally applied for, or expected, has
been founded on circumstances that
must be admitted in many cases to be
justification for the claim. When
such grounds exist for an advance, 1
hold it to be to the interest of the man
ager, as we'll as his duty, to be the first
to move in the matter, for have found
that men in regular constant employ,
aeing generally steady, honest work
men, do not often make request for
anincrease unless they have fair reasons
for doing 30, and 1t is q mistake to wait
until they make the application. 1
have felt, when this has been the case
on the part of good servant, that l
had done him an injustice in not giving
him the advance unsolicited. ] would
further say, Do not put man off with
excuses. Consider the matter at once,
and give him an answer. If he is al
ready sufficiently paid, tell him so !;
but, if not, remember that he gives
twice who gives quickly and from
that day let the extra pay be granted.
SO small sum as 3D.. or Cd. a day
may make all the difference between a
contented and discontented workman;
while the one may be worth, in the
value of the work done, twice or four
times that amount more than the other.
1t is all very we'll to say that the
rice of labor, like that of coral or iron,
is regulated by the inexorable law of
supply and demand; but this law,
though perfect in its application to the
purchase of materials, has only par
tial application where mans labor is
concerned"

The English lockout.

From statistics collected by the Ma
tional Agricultural Laborer's Union as
to the recent lockout in the Eastern
counties of England it appears that the
struggle lasted about eighteen weeks,
