GOOD TIMES FOR LABOR.
MANY EVIDENCES OF PR0sPERITY
IN THIS STATE


Fewer Idle Men Than Last Year, Says
Labor Commissioner McMackin-WaGes
HiEhor-The Meaning of Increasing
Immigration-The Legal working Day.
ALBANY, Sept. 12.-Stats Commissioner OF
Labor Statistics John McBiackin. says
in his bulletin for tho quarter
ending Juno 30. that the improvement
in Industrial conditions which began
with the large exportation OF grain In 1895
and first manifested itself, among industrial
entsrprises in tho iron and steel industry sew
eral months ago has now made itself felt In
nearly nil industrial The demonstration OF
this fact he thinks In TO be found in the returns
made to the Bureau OF Labor Statistics by the
labor organization. OF the State for the quarter
ending June 30 1899.
Those reports show that 1O7 per cent, OF
union members were unemployed at the end
of June AS compared with 20. 7 Dor cent at the
corrospondipt date in 1893 and 1871 in 1897.
A stil mora notceeble improvement nppesrs
In the reduction of prolonged idleness; thus
in the seoond quarter OF 1907. OF the whole
number OF union members reported, III per
cent vere imam ploved during the entire three
month"; in the second quarter OF 1893 this
pronortion had fallen to {, per cent. and in
tho seeond ouarter OF 1909 to "a per cent.
Tho natural result OF increased en- ployment OF
labor implied in the foregoing figures ia An aug
mentation OF the earnings Of workingmen. and
the fact OF such augmentation IN confirmed by
the statistics. which exhibit. in nearly all OF
the important trades. very considerable
advances over the corresponding period Of last
year and also an Improvement over the first
quarter Of 1899. Additional confirmation OF
those differences from trade union statistics
is furnished by the statistics Of building oper-
atoms In cities OF the first and second classes.
In New York Brooklyn and Rochester the in
crease In the number OF building per-
mits issued and estimated cost OF
such buildings In 1899 as compared with
1893 amounts to nearly 80 per cent
1t further appears from the statistics OF immi-
grafton at the Port Of New York that the tide
OF imm igration 10 rapidly rising; the increase
In the numb Der OF immigrants arriving at New
York in the quarter ending June 80. 1899. was
80. $40, or SO per cent over the corresponding
period Of last year
Such an increase In the current OF immigra-
ton may be regarded as O sure Indication OF
prosperity that is not restricted to individual
trades or localities. That the i'm proven ent In

A BILL has been introduced in the
 North Carolina legislature providing that no man shall hold office under the state, county or municipality unless he
 shall hrat take oath to the fact that he has not taken part in any lynching bee since the law went into effect. In Vir. ginia there, is an arti,dueling law similar in its provisions. It may be sthat the law will be effective. It is to be hoped that it will. But the great trouble with such laws is that they are ,frequently made imperative by lack of public pressure behind their enforce. nent. And moreover, as the Rich- ,nond Times suggests, men engaged in the dissraceful work of overriding estab lished institutions and introducing a temporary state of anarchy do not often
 stop to think of remote consequences of their unlawful acts.
