Good Word for Cameron.

One of the best motormen on the Green
line has been discharged. To lose Que OF
his ability and poiteness is a much re-
GREETED loss to the whole commun-
ity. Though he was motorman
he never refused to assist a child or lady
or render any extra service he could, and
his legiti nate duty was always properly
performed. 1t seems to me that a loss
like this to the community would be- a
loss to that company. Many have eX-
pressed their regrets Of his having been
discharged. His name is Cameron.

TO PREVENT STRIKES.
President Cleveland's Commission Makes
n Report.

The report Of the labor commission ap-
pointed to investigate the railroad strike last
summer has been made public. 1t says in
part;
"The troubles OF the Illinois Central and
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific companies
were the ones investigated. According to
the testimony, the railroads lost in property
destroyed, hire Of United States deputy mar
shals and other incidental expenses at least
S6s530S. The loss Of earnings Of these.roads
is estimated at S4,672,9 ,9l6. Some 3,l00 en-
ployes at Pullman lost in wages at least
S350.0J0. About 1000 employees upon the
"a roads centering at Chicago, all Of which
were more or less involved in the strike. lost
in wages at least 81. $3.50. .143. Many OF these
employees are still adrift and losing wages"
The commission says OF the Pullman palace
car company;
'For the year ending July /, 1898, the divi-
dends were S2,520,000 and the wages ST..
222,7l9.51. Fol- the year ending July /,
1894, the dividends were S2,Ss0 900 and the
wages S4.47l. .701.S0
"The conditions created In Pullman en-.
abed the management at all times to assert
with great vigor its assumed right to fix
wages and rents absolutely and to repress
the spirit Of independence which leads &c
labor organizations and their attempts al
meditation, arbitration, strikes. etc."
In conclusion the committee recommends;
That there be a permanent United States
strike commission OF three members, with
duties and powers Of investigation and recon.
mendation us to disputes between railroads
and their employees, similar to those vested
in the interstate commission as to rates, ,etc.
The commission further recommends that
congress consider the establishment OF O
license system by which all the higher en-
ployes or others Of railroads engaged in in
terstate commerce should be licensed after
due and proper examination.
The commission suggests the consideration
by the states OF the adoption of some system
OF coneiliation and arbitration like that IL
use in the commonwealth OF Massachusetts
That system might be reinforced by addition
al provisions giving the board Of arbitration
more power to investigate all strikes, whether
the question might be conside cred as to givinl
labor organizations q standing before the
law, as heretofore suggested, for nationa
trades unions.

the London county council which caused II
by a vote OF TO 32 to refuse liquor and prom
enade licenses so that prominent places OF
anus: ment in London are closed, is perhaps
the strongest proof that a better day has
dawned, and deserves to rank beside the

that 1t had made better showing in its ag-
gregate membership and in its gifts receiv-
