FREQUENTLY DEFEATED STRIKES.

EN-Presfdent Garland on the Eject of
importatfoil OF Contract Labor.
M. NJ. GarlandSi e1tpresident Of the ANAL
gamated Iron asd Steel Workers Associa-
tion, was beforsi the industrial commission
Tor an hour yssteraay. F. J. stimson of
Boston, the adviKers)counsel Of the commits
sion, was present.oi
About two-thfrds IF the employees in the
iron. steel and tn trade are organized, Mr..
Garland testified Every year representa-
uVes OF the amalgatnated association go to
the employers of labor with the scale for
their signatures. .Nrr Garland explained at
length the methpdsIby which disputes be-
tween employers and employees are settled.
fhe amalgamated 4ssociation's plan has
been rather in tife hne of Cancellation than
that OF arbitration. ~
The witness said that the importation of
contract labor has frequently defeated
land said that 1t has been his experience
that injunctions are too often resorted to
by the employers of labor. Whenever the
strikers have attempted to induce other
men not to take their vacated places the
injunction has been the inyariable resort of
the employers. Injunctions are very easy
TO get, he said. especially in western Penn
sylyania, where they are as thick as tax
notices. in times of labor trouble b.
monthly pay days are the rule in the iron
and steel trade and seem to be satisfactory.
The methods employed by the iron workers
ana their employers are the most eatisfac-
tory in the world. Mr.. Garland believes,
and can scarcely be improved upon.

EURoPE's DANGEROUS RIVAL.
The Austrian View of United States
Trade Competition.


The Austrian view of United States trade
competition is the subject of a recent re-
port of Consul Baehr at Kehl to the State
Department. DR.. Alexander Peez, Vien-
nese authority on political economy, devot-
ed a recent paper to the subject, in which
he referred to America as ''Europes most
dangerous rival, and said they could not
give enough attention to the United States.
1t is not known yet said DR.. Peez, how
We will be able to make up for the loss of
our sugar export to America. The balance
of trade will be still more to their benefit
When they are able to produce enough sugar
IN cuba and Porto Rico to supply their
needs. This will probably take them abont
seven years. We shall have to make good
use OF this time DR.. Peez spoke also of
the paper industry and referred to the past,
when some of the English newspapers were
printed on Austrian paper Now" he
added, the Unitedg States has wrested this
trade from us and is already supplying
most OF the paper used in England"
IRON machinery, and eotton-seed oil were
also mentioned fas, instances of American
lnroads on the European market In the
course of his remarks DR.. Peez dWelt upon
the wonderful irapjdity with which the
Americans, in 4heiF war with Spain in
creased and equipped their navy. In Amer
iea. ne said, the whole population consists
OF skilled men and tshrewd merchants, who
pflns about the wonderful progress of the
country. He repeated what he has been
advocating for gears-that the countries on
the European continent would have to form
coalition to protect themselves against
outside competirionJ This plan is also be-
ing discussed in some of the nevsnaners
IN Germany. go { .

TO PAY BARRED DIVIDENDS.
Legislation Regarding the Freed
mans Savings and Trust Co.


mans Savings and Trust Co.
Referring to the act which passed Con-
gress March authorizing the commissioner
of the Freedman's Savings and Trust Com
pany to pay certain barred dividends here
tofore declared in favor of the depositors
in that company, Mr.. Dawes, controller of
the currency who is ex-officio commissioner
Of the company, says that the impression
seems to prevail that Congress has made
provision by this act for the payment of
the balances due to all depositors. But such
is not the case.
Five dividends have heretofore been de-
clared, follows: % 90 per cent Novem-
Der /, 1875; (2) 10 per cent, March 20, 1878;
so 10 per cent, September L, 1880; a. Is
per cent, June l, 1882; (o) per cent May
u, 1sS3 aggregating 62 per cent.
By act of Congress approved February
81, 1881, all claims not presented for ex-
animation and audit within six months
from the passage Of that act, and all diyi-
dends declared upon audited accounts not
called for within two years from the date
Of their declaration, were barred from pay
ment.
The act just passed removes these restric-
tions and authorized the payment of all
such barred claims and dividends.
Those depositors who have been paid the
62 per cent, five dividends, will receive
nothing additional under the act just
passed, but those who have received no
part of, or less than the 62 per cent will
be paid that amount, or the difference be-
tween what they have received and 62 per
cent, as far as the funds in hand will
permit.
The date and amount of each dividend
paid, Mr.. Dawes says. is plainly entered In
the pass book Of each depositor who has
received them, and where the passbook
shows five dividends paid the depositor
should understand that no additional pay
ment can be made. 1t is useless, therefore,
Mr.. Dawes says, to forward such pass
books to the controller of the currency.
Only those books which show less than five
dividends paid, or none. should be for
warded.
Where passbooks are lost, any inquiry
in regard to an account should state the
full name of the depositor and the name
of the branch agency in which the deposits
were made.
There were thirty-three Of these agencies,
scattered principally throughout the south
ern states. and the books OF each were kept
separately.
Ali passbooks and inquiries relative to
the affairs of the company should be ed
dressed to the commissioner Of the Freed
mans Savings and Trust Company, in this
city.

WILL KEEP OUR HANDS OFF.
This Country VIII Not Join in a Raid
on Chinese Territory.


The United States government has re-
manned absolutely passive throughout the
execution of the italian project to secure
an open door, on the Chinese coast
through the acquisition of San Nun bay and
outlying islands. Some days ago United
States Minister Conger at Pekin acquainted
the State Department with the fact that
Italy had preferred a request upon China
for a lease of the spot selected, but he has
made no report since. and it is not known
officially whether or not the Italian forces
have been landed at San Nun.
One of the highest authorities says:
."The government of the United States will
not take any steps in regard to the Italian
demand for the cession of Chinese terri
tory"
In other words, our government, resist
ing from motives of broad policy aiiuring
intimations from other powers to the effect
that the time is ripe for raid by the
United States on some part of the Chinese
coast line, has definitely determined to
keep hands off. But one motive could in
duce the government to change this policy,
and that would be a desire to protect our
enormously valuable commerce with China
from the danger of being completely cut
Off through the gradual extension of the
leasehofds OF European nations over the
whole Chinese sea coast. AS long as our
trade Is let alone, or is at least allowed
fair opportunity for development and is
not made the subject Of discrimination, SO
long will the United States government re-
ffein from any interference in Chinese af-
fairs.
Mr.. Conger has reported that Pel1in has
been unusually quiet during the past win
ter. He does not undertake to say whether
or not the presence of marine guards at the
United States legation and at other en-
bassies and Legations in Pekin had any
thing to do with repressing disorder, but
his statements bear an affirmative interpre-
tation.
