Teach Them Trades.
Chicago Herald.

A San Francisco journal calls attention
to the statement of writer's on prison re-
form that there Is only Que broad group
ing that can be made of prison convicts
bevond that of sex. 1t cannot be sum-
married. that convicts are illiterate, or OF
foreign birth, or old, or young, religious
or irreligious, but it can be said of them
that, almost as a rule, they knew no trade
before they offended the state. They
had gone to college by the hundreds and
thousands; they had attended Sunday
schools; they had secured the benefits of
travel; they were aware of the seventies of
penal justice-all these things applied to
them so numerously that their crimes
could not be linked with such considera-
tions. But, if the bookkeeper wrote the
names of all who had no trades, he would
at once desory reason for the crime or
a condition precedent of crime. Of
course, the felon having having trade
might believe that occupation to be the
worst one, and so deny his craft, but,
with allowance for this fact, it still re-
mains true of states prison convicts that
they have no trade when they are con
yicted. There is a lesson in this sole
generic truth regarding great crimiD ais.
Our public schools are growing into a
vast money spending organism, where
every enthusiast puts his pet hobby on
small boys and girls. The toiler, at his
fireside, is astonished to hear his children
prattling of position A." and of Ger
man, and of monitors" and hundred
other follies, while the multi phi Ga ton
table has been abolished, and the child
cannot tell the time of gay by any speci-
ic learning he gets at school. The high
school girl is apt to criticise her father
for failing to outgeneral Jay Gould in
the scramble for wealth, and thu yonng
husband who marries her might be pitied
had he not been educated" In the same
atmosphere. II is time to ask if all men
are to be scholars and if all women are to
roll in their chaises." If not, let Us
have shoT where men and women may be
taught trades. There are million more
women than men, and fathers who cannot
give their daughters portion owe to
those daughters some preparation for
self support. The cardinal preparation
is the thoughtful acceptance By the child
of the common fate of mankind, which
is unceasing toll, with good measure of
worry.

THE GREAT STRIKE.
Manager Whiting Gives the Coal and
Iron COmpany's Version of 1t.
If the Company Tells the Truth the
Strikers Have Acted Yery
F00lishly.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The inquiry by
the Congressional committee into the
Reading railroad and miners strike has
has been continued. General Manager
A. B. Whiting, of the Reading Coal and
Iron company was the first witness. He
detailed the story of the miners strike
and its cause. He said he advised them
to continue work after Jan. L, at which
time the agreement for the per cent.
advance terminated, as he believed that
when the company should be taken out
of the hands of receivers the new man
agement would do the fair thing by them.
The Reading miners were receiving bet
ter pay than the Lehigh miners. The
reason why the com pany did not wish to
continue the advance, or keep in force
the contract after Jan. l, was that was
proposed after that to change the entire
5! stem, which was not considered a good
one. Mr. Whiting continued: "The coal
company owns the houses at the mines as
e general tn ing, but there have been no
evictions. The houses rent from So to
So month. Some of them cost $500,
others LOO. The latter rent for S12.
The former for So. The company has
no stores, does not collect from its min
ers for doctors, priests, or taxes or any
thing else.
The witness corroborated Mr.. Corbin's
testimony about violence from the strik-
ers to these employees who remained at
work since the strike. Threats of muir
der were made through anonymous COM
munications and armed men with clubs
and pistols intimidated people VINO were
at work. He referred to the riots at
Shenandoah and of threats made especi-
ally at Shamokin. The men responsible
were Poles and Hungarians. They are
not brought to this country or TO the
mines by the railroad or coal company.
Witness denied that Pinkerton detectives
were employed. The witness showed how
the the strike was encouraged by the
labor organizations and especially by the
Knights OF Labor. He said that of the
$1,000 employed by this company, all but
1000 had gone cut. The payroll of the
company was over 100000 a month.
Mr.. Whiting was asked whether there was
or had been any combination in which
the Reading company took part to re-
strict the natural supply of anthracite
coal. He said that at the present there
was none that he knew of and ne did not
believe that there was any such; but as
recently as 1884 there had been an alot-
ment system, the object and the effect of
which was to restrict the output. He ex-
planned that all the operators, or practi
cally all of them in the anthracite regions,
were in this combination.
Witness said his company had not tried
to fill the strikers places because it want
Sd its old men to come back. He believed
their necessities would force them to
yield. In making the alotments of pro-
duction the consumer of coal was not con-
sidered.
