Labor Changes at New Orleans.

There appears 10 be fair prospect Of a
settlement OF the labor troubles at New
Orleans. II. I'm fact. they are not already
practically settled. The white screwmen
and other labor organizations have had a
talk with the governor Of Louisiana, the
purport Of which was that they disavOwed
any connection with the recent riots on
the levee, and condemned the rioters. They
conceded that the ship agents have the
right 10 employ whom they please and
they announced their purpose not to inter
fere with or disturb the black longshore-
men If the ship agents should prefer black
labor. For themselves they said they
would load cotton at IS cents a bale. as
against the former price of 50 cents. and
that they would remove the % hale limit
The screwmen have acted wisely in max
ing concessions. The price Of cotton has
fallen greatly. and the cost of living is
much less than 1t was a few years ago.
Under the circumstances the white screw
men could hardly expect 10 get the wages
they received when the price OF cotton
was S cents a pound. or more. and when
the cost Of the necessaries of life was much
greater.
Had the screwmen persisted. and sue
ceeded in controlling the situation. they
would have driven the cotton business
away from New Orleans Cotton these
days will go TO the ports that handle IT the
cheapest The saving Of few cents a
bale turns cotton out of its accustomed
channel. These are days of fierce com
petition. Business is done on a very small
margin. Nobody who has anything to do
with cotton makes big profits. except per-
haps the spectators, and their business is
a very risky one Most of them at the
end Of a season are worse off than at its
beginning.
Nobody would begrudge screwmen or
longshoremen big wages if such wages
could be paid. When they cannot be
paid the wage earners should yield to the
inevitable. One Of the leading inventors
Of England has just published an article
in which he shows that England is losing
her pre-eminence as a manufacturing
country. He names many articles that
England not long ago manufactured for
nearly the whole world. These articles
are now almost wholly manufactured in
other countries. Trades unions have
made their manufacture practically i'm
possible In England. While 1t is always
regrettable TO have to reduce the wages OF
workmen, still it is better that their wages
should be reduced than that they should
have no work at all.

but like an army of pests they destroy
everything eatable that is not strongly

Within the last twenty years the tax
payers have paid about 10000 for drain

that the value OF four-hfths Of that vast

Those who hope for and expect a future
