The members of the fire department are
more than pleased with their elegant and
commodious quarters, and our citizens have
equally good reason to be pleased with their
well organized fire company, their fine build
ing and their effective fire apparatus. No
village in the county can begin to compare
with Paw Paw in this respect. The men,
bers Of the company have frequently shown,
IN times past, their willingness and ability to
contend with and vanquish the devourine
element, and will be equally ready, willing
and able 10 repeat their efforts in the future,
whenever they may be called upon to do so.

with a committee, II was incidently re-
marked by one speaker. that the ne
cessity for obtaining credit at the stores
In the neighborhood, was q grave tax
upon the men. An ordinary work
man, he said, could not afford to MAIN
tain his family for q month, and as he
only received his pay monthly, he was
compelled to obtain credit and TO pay
exorbitantIy for everything; whereas,
IL he had the cash, he could buy at %
per cent. less. "Well," / said, 'swhy
can not We overcome that by paying
every two weeks?n The reply was:
1--WE did not like to ask 1t. because we
have always understood that il would
cause much trouble; but, II you do
that, 1t will be worth an advance of 5
per cent. In our wages.n We have paid
semi-monthly since. Another speaker
happened to say although they were
in the midst Of coal, the price charged
for small lots delivered In their houses,
was O certain sum per bushel. The
price named, was double what our best
coal was costing US. How easy for us
To deliver to our men such coal as they
require, and charge them cost. This
was done without cents loss to us,
but with much gain to the men. Sew
eral other points similar to these, have
arisen by which their labors might be
lightened or their products increased,
and Others suggesting changes in ma
chinery or facilities, which, but for the
conference referred to, would have been
unthought Of by the employer, and
probably never asked for by the men.
For these and other reasons, attribute
the greatest Importance to an organiza-
tion OF the men, through whose duly
elected representatives, the managers
may be kept informed, from time to
time of their grievances and sugges-
tions. No matter how able the mana
ger, the clever workman can often
show him how beneficial changes can
be made in the special branch in which
that workman labors. Unless the rela-
tions between the manager and work.
men are not only amicable, but friend
ly, the owners miss much; nor is any
man o first class manager who has not
the confidence and respect, and even
the admiration, of his workmen. No
man Is true gentleman who does not
inspire the affection and devotion of his
servants. The danger is that such COM
mittees may ask confidence too of
ten; three or four meetings per year,
should he regared as sufficient.
