AXERTED BY ARBITRATION.

One of the most conservative of all
the labor organizations in this country
is the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, and its members rank among the
most prosperous and steady Of all the
grand army Of wage.workers.
The Brotherhood is a striking ex-
ample of the good that organized labor
discreetly handled can accomplish for
itself Take for instance the recent
trouble between the engineers on the
Elevated roads in New York city and
the corporation controlling these roads.
The engineers demanded that eight
hours should be a days work, and also
some slight advances in pay, A strike
was imminent, but Mr.. Arthur, the
grand master of the Brotherhood, pur-
sued the course that charactcrizes the
policy of that organization. He asked
for conference that there might be an
opportunity for arbitration. The con
ference was granted, and while the in
telligent grand master was alert to the
interests of those whom he represented,
he was not stubborn or unwilling to
make conc ssions. The representa-
ti'es of the roads appear to have been
about the same mood.
The outcome was that the engineers
gOtan increase of pay and days work
was defined on the basis of nine hours.
Thus by mutual concession all trouble
was averted and trains are being run
regularly by men who are doubtless
more than ever alive to the interest of
their employers.
This example of halfway meeting
over disputes between employees and
employers cannot be too highly com
mended or too generally initiated, 1t
shows that arbitration often succeeds
where all else fails Mr.. Arthur, who
by the way seems in every respect to
DE the right man in the right place,
says:
1T is fair and equitable settle
mcnt, and that is all we ever ask for.
Wherever company has granted us n
conference VIC have never yet had n
strike" There is a whole volume of
argument in that simple statement.

STREET CAR TRACKS.

In the capitals and chief cities of
Europe the rails used on the street
tramv ays are entirely unobjectionable
and do not interfere with the transit
of other street vehicles. The rails
nsed there are put down flush with the
surface of the street, and are solidly
imbeddcd with iron cross-ties in con,
crete foundation. In the centre of the
rail is a groove in which the flange Of
the car wheels run, and the tracks can
be crossed by carriages and other
vehicles without the least sensation of
obstruction.
This style of rail and solid founda-
tion undoubtedly costs more at first
Than the kind in use now, but we doubt

THE GRANT MEMORIAL.

The introduction of a bill in the Sen
ate by Mr.. Blair of New Hampshire, to
provide for the erection of monuments
10 the memory of Abraham Lincoln
and Ulysses 5. Grant, reminds THE
CRITIC that so far as the Grant monu-
ment is concerned, this paper has pre-
emption rights in the premises, of
which we do not propose to be dispos-
scssed without hearing.
In neither case do we favor dupli-
cation of the Washington Monument.
One structure of that kind is enough
for the National Capital, and II should
stand alone in its towering grandeur
and architectural uniqueness. To build
The companion pieces suggested would
mar the effect of all. What designs to
substitute for those named should be
determined otherwise than by the per
emptory decree of Congress. The ar-
iistic judgment Of the people deserves
TO be consulted in a matter of so much
importance, and the artists of The
CRTIC some months ago decided that
the memorial to General Grant should
take the form of O bridge to span the
waters of the Potomac at some eligible
and slightly point.
The idea was first promulgated in
these columns and the more we have
thought it over the better we like It,.
Let the monument to Lincoln be what
it may-and 1t should certainly embody
some historic relevance to his public
life and services-there can be no ques-
iion as to the symbolic appropriateness
of the arch in the commemorative pile
which we rear to the Old Commander,
especially an arch uniting the restored
sections of the Union at one of their
chief points of severance by bonds of
everlasting steel and stone.
1t was Grant, with his victorious
]egions, who made this restoration
final, and his memorial should CORE
spond with the nature of the victory he
wrought, not to pcrpetuate remem-
brances Of sanguinary strife, but to typi-
fy its peaceful fruitions. What better
monument, then, than structure
which shall forever signify the new
alliance of North and South and be
como one of our grandest thorough.
fires of interchanging commerce and
fra crnal intercourse?
] here is certainly poetry enough in
fho rnncnntinn IN answer evarv nst nt ir
demand. At the same time it is practi-
cal enough to thoroughly comport with
the utilitarian character of the services
which General Grant rendered to his
country. BY all means, Mr.. Blair, let
us have the bridge, with its memorial
arch, and THE CRITIC will support
your bill with all its heart-particu
