THEELEvEN COMMANDMENTS,

AIR. Geo. May Powell, of Philadel-
phia, has "a timely article in the april
Century, on Strikes, LOckOuUs, and Ar
bitration, la which he says: 'sOne OF
the most satisfactory cases of cOncilia-
tiou and arbitration IN America was the
settlement of serious strike In the
Philadelphia shoe trade, in 1854, This
was arranged by Hon. j NJ Washburn,
with some cooperation of the Peace
Union About 500 daily wages was
involved and what proved to be a cold
winter was before the working people.
The settlement saved this, with all the
peace and comfort, health and morals
involved. Not the least of the advan-
Jages gained was the formulation OF
eleven rules, with notes on the same.
The value of these rules and notes IS
shown by heir having since settled
several strikes in 5tner trades and other
States. Fhey were posted up in fac
tories, and the w0rkmen by the way
of pleasantly, came to call them s'Ihe
Eleven Commandments" They were
furthermore made the basis OF adjust
ment of "a serious trouble in one of the
largest institutions of learning in the
country"
