Depicting tho Range.

Discussing the undoubted shortage
OF cattle on the ranges Of the west.
many stockmen are figuring how long
1t will take to get the range restock-
ed again to where it was a few years
ago. They are figuring entirely upon
the wrong basis. The stock of cattle
will never again be what it was upon
the range, and the indications are
that it will be a difficult matter to
maintain the present supply. 1t is
hardl for the people to realize the evo-
luton that is taking place, the graz.
ing has been so damaged by over
crowding that the number OF cattle
formerly supported would be unable
to find living there today. Then
the farmer with his fences has en-
croached further and further, until at
the present time there Is wild
scramble TO secure public lands in
every way possible. But the west is
not going out of the cattle business;
In fact, it is only getting in, and get
ting IL, right. A fe1 years from now
there will be more cattle than ever IN
the west, but instead of running at
will on the plains, with brand on the
hide to denote the ownership, the
great majority will be In small
punches in enclosed pastures. They
will be better bred, better fed and
better cared for. Winter losses will
be almost unknown, and the supply
will be regulated according to the de-
mand. The depletion of ranges is
not due alone TO the shortage of cat
tie, but the high prices, which en-
abled those Ill the business to get out
whole from what promised to be q
losing business in the future. Most
OF them are gong back into the bust
ness, but on a new plan-wen. bred

Hero Of the Spanish-AmerIca War

Hero Of the spanish-American War
A pathetic incident is related by
the Chaplain Of the battleship Indi-
ana, in the New York Times. He
states that when the doomed Spanish
vessel, Maria Theresa, was burning
off the rocks OF Santiago, there were
a number OF helpless cattle in her
hold, who stood trembling in agony
and fear as the flames and em o ke
warned them Of their impending fate.
Suddenly solitary American soldier
put off in small boat toward the
burning cruiser, apparently obvious
OF the danger to himself by the ex-
plosion Of her magazines. Reaching
the sides Of the ship he grasped q
rope dangling from the side and then
climbing hand over hand he soon
swung himself upon the deck. He
pulled his revolver and passing along
by the cattle continued firing until
the sufferings of each dumb victim
were ended. His task completed
with the flames curling around him
the sides Of the ship red heat, he
calmly went down the roap into his
boat, reached the shore and disap-
peared amid a crowd Of Sailors"

No advances in profits can be made
without the consentgtof the employees.
This one radical change from trust prin-
ciples, and the experieriee Of men in trade
goes to show that lernployes are very
aVerse to increasing the trade profits,
even though they carry with them in
creases in wages. This objection is based
on the idea that the trade is to be pro-
NOTED for the full employment of labor
rather than for large profits for a small
number of employees. A foreign COM
mittee is to be named to- manage the ex-
port business of the alliance, and the
fighting fund, unless required to handle
backSliders at home will be used to force
foreign manufacturers to: come into the
fold. -. ~
1t is said that Mr.: Smith has practic-
ally organized twenty trades in such al
liances and that@the movement is rapidly,
spreading to, the confident. He claims
for his plan that it will prevent such dis
astrous strikes as those of the English
engineers4of 1897. and the coal miners
troubles in South Wales both of which
sent manufacturers to the continent and
America 1t is also ASSERTED that the
plan will provide greater incentives to
the workmen in the lines of energy and
efficiency.

containing possibilities of better results
than any other so Tar exploited
MIR. Smiths plan includes something
similar to what is known as a trust, >,
yet which Is so modified as to largely
eliminate the Objectionable features of
the great industrial combinations. He
calls 1t an alliance and under his plan the
employees are taken into the arrange
ment. The first thing to be done Is to as
certain the actual cost of production of
everything included in the trade as a
basis for determining the selling price
The custom of keeping books which tie
mize all expenses is much less common
across the water than in the United
States and therefore difficulty must be
experienced in gaining this information
over here it would be matter of mere
arithmetic which could be settled in five
minutes in any given establishment
Having arrived at this elemental cost
an ado1tion-to be determined later-is to
De made to represent the profit of the
manufacturer. To this is to be added an
advance Of 10 per cent in wages, which
Is to be permanent advance These ad-
ditions to the cost of production will rep
resent the selling price net, transporta-
lions and package, OF course, being ele-
menus iOScA III llSlI JldtuIC. All 1anuIac-
turers in the alliance will be held strict
ly to the establishment selling price, at
least so far as cutting under the fixed
minimum is concerned. On complaint an
investigation is to be made without ex-
posing the complaining firm and on con-
viction the culprit is to be fined accord
ing to a fixed scale
The alliance has this great advantage
over the so-called trust: 1T means that
q fnrfnr - -
be shut down and an army Of worklnen
thrown out Of employment. This one fea !.
ture OF reducing the pay roll by shutting
down factories Is the one which is held
to work the most injury to industries in
trust combinations. The limitation also
OF the selling price to reasonable profit
over the gross cost of production and the
taking of the employed into the secrets
of the combination present valuable fea-
lures of the alliance. Under Mr. Smith s
plan the prices obtained for products
would fuctuate only with the fluctuations
of the prices of materials instead of be-
cause of a vote of a band of directors
who are eager for more money on their
investments.
Then again the principle of arbitration
between employer and employee is a fixed
feature OF the alliance. All disputes are
to be referred to a fixed commission the
employees to continue at theil tasks nm.
der protest until the controversy is SET
tied. The decisions OF the. commission
are to be retrospective in their scope

TRUST FOR EMPLOYEES.
UNIQUE PLAN TO CONTROL TRADE
DEVISED BY A MANU-
FACTURER
HE LIVES AT BIRMINGHAM

Mr.. Smiths Plan Said to He Trust
Which Largely Eliminates the
Great Industrial Combinations
More OF the Factories of the Al
lance to BE Shut Down.
What may be called a trust robbed of
the many Objectionable features which
pertain to Industrial combinations as
known in America is being seriously dis
cussed in the old country. An Industrial
combination whose purpose is to benefit
the trade entire thereby embracing the
employed as well as the employer, is a
combination few persons would care to
antagonize. If all the capital in England
and America embarked in any particular
line of manufacture should combine and
no less of employment follow, it might be
of vast benefit to all concerned. This is
the scheme which is being discussed.
The originator of the plan is E. j.
Smith, of Birmingham. MI. Smith has
been successfully employee, travelling
salesman, salesman and employer in his
trade, that of making bedsteads, and in
the course of his business life has gain
ed experience which he wishes to utilize
to aid all in the same line as himself
He is not posing as theorist nor laying
claims to being long on political economy,
but he has brought to the front plan
which is recognized in his native land, in
Germany, Norway and Sweden as one

H. I'd
The movement is an answer to the
trfte question: us, there not some means
of cooperation by which the interests
of the employer and.thef employees may be
united, by which these disastrous strikes
so fatal not only 10 the individual COM
fort. interests and happiness, but to in
dEstry and commercial success-may be
prevented"
MR.. CHAMBERLAIN'S TRIBUTE.
Joseph Chamberlain, in moving vote
of thanks to Mr.. Smith at meeting in
Birmingham, used the following Ian
guage:
II do not know whether you are aware
that within the last year or.two he has
carried out, in connection with the trade
with which he is Interested a great So
cial experiment, the results of which
have been truly marvellous. Into a trade
In which formerly every one, whether
workman or employer, was dissatisfied,
he has brought contentment= Wages, I
believe, have been Increased, profits have
become larger, and, curious to- relate,
the demand and the production have in
creased at the same time. This expert
ment, believe, is capable of great de-
velopment. | understood when I was last
in Bradford that great trade in that
city. acting on Mr.. Smiths suggestions,
had agreed to adopt principles upon
which he had secured success Those
principles involve a hearty union between
employers and employed, and trust that
all who find themselves in difficulty
ton to the solutSyff which Mr. smith
believes he has fothdS
r William : WoodaM nember of parlia-
ment,@ speaks thus of the movement:
~ am not quite sure as to how much
of real originality There may BERN Ell
Smiths scheme. FsAprose most of lis
have had our theories as to the way in
which what he isabringing about should
be accomplished. 61Sheaking for my
self, I may say~-that have
thought about 1t for many years and I
have conceived many plans whereby 1
could properly ydiWdeSthe profits of my
business between my workmen and my
self Unfortunately, could nevery carry
any of them out, for the simple reason
that could not makeeany profits to- d.
vide. The difference M4ween Mr. Smiths
plan and any othek SseHms to be that he
first makes the pfohtsfor use, and then
shows us what we ought to do with it."
