Weakness of the Census.

[Carroll d. Wright in Popular Science Monthly.1
Perhaps the very worst form of the pres
ent system is the temporary nature Of the
service. As the census year comes in sight
each decade a census Gffice is created by law,
the organization to be taken entirely from
new material, from the head to the foot OF
course the aim always is in securing super
intendent, to select some one who has had
more or less experience or is supposed to be
more or less competent In census work: but
then comes the greater difficulty, the selec-
tion of the forces. A good business man at
the head of the census office-one of excel
lent administrative and executive abilities,
without knowledge of statisti cs-would ham
die census in all probability as we'll as or
better even than statistician without busi-
ness qualifications; but the organization de-
mands skillful men at the head of divisions,
and skillful and trained statisticians as as
slstants. Every superintendent endeavors
to draw into his service a certain number
properly qualified, statistically speaking, for
the service required; but everything must
be drawn together hurriedly-a great bureau,
the largest In the federal government, cre-
ated in brief period, and the work carried
on with the greatest rapidity. With the vast
expansion of census inquiries, la connection
with the necessarily speedy organization, 1t
Is absurd, without regard to the qualifica-
tions Of the head Of the office, to expect val
uable results for the money expended. 1t is
not In the power of any superintendent, no
matter what his experience, no matter what
his qualifications may be, to take very sat-
isfactory census under the conditions In
volved in our Federal system.

A very important decision In regard to the
rights and powers of trades unions has just
been made by the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania. John II. Brendle was member of
the Cigar Makers international Union, but
as the result of dispute with the local off,
cials he refused to use their labels, and
issued similar labels or trademarks of his
own. Thereupon the Union appealed to the
county court for an Injunction, alleging that
Brendle was unlawfully using trade mark
which was the property of another. The
court granted the injunction, whereupon
Bfendle appealed to the Supreme Court of
the State. The court decided in Brendle's
favor first on the ground that the Cigar
makers Union being formed. according to
the constitution, for the moral, mental and
physical welfare Of its members, was not
commercial association, and therefore, un-
der the law. could not own trade mark.
The second ground was practically that the
label was an attempt to coerce men into join
ing the union. The label sets ferth that the
cigars which 1t accompanies are made by
first class workmep, while those without 1t
are inferior, rat shop, cooley, prison or filthy
tenement house workmanship. This, says
the court, is an attempt to compel men to
choose between joining the union or losing
the sale of their goods by false and SANDER
Gus representations, and the court declares
that such an attempt is unlawful. The de-
cision is founded on good common sense.
man has perfect right to join trades
union II he wants to, and he has perfect
right to refuse to do SO. One course should
not expose him to blackmail any more than
the other. This is a free country, and the
sooner the trades unions recognize 1t the
better for all concerned.
