The Locomotive Engineers.

When Ch1Gf arthur OF the bIOlHci
hood of Locomotive Engineers got on
boycotted street car and rode through
Cleveland he gave public notice that
the branch of labor which he represent
ed had no sympathy with the manner
in which the street car strike was pc
ing conducted. And this act of Chief Ar
thur reminds us also that the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers mas
shown the world what a great power
for good labor organization has when
it is wisely and discreetly managed.
Recently, before the Industrial Com
mission, Chief Arthur testified that his
orgS nization now had written agree
ments with more than 80 per cent of
the railroads of the land, and that
when differences arose between the
men and the companies they nearly al
ways were settled by joint conferences.
"Strikrs,' said he, "are now on the de-
cine, and our strike fund, which has
not been touched for many years, now
amounts to 100000. We find that the
companies are nearly always ready to
meet US half way when we approach
them reasonably, and 1 am about con-
vinced that there may never be another
occasion for an engineers strike. To
widows and orphans we distributed
So, 900 last year, and since the begin
ming $4,000, 900 has been paid out on
the insurance account
AS a rule the engineers have little
sympathy and no contact with the agi-
tators who rant and rave about the
country in ceaseless effort to stir up
trouble between employees and their en-
ployers. The locomotive brotherhood
has learned to conserve it's own
strength, to keep its promises, to allow
that employers have many rights, and
to settle its differences in a way which
recognizes the necessity of mutual con-
cessions. In contrast with the methods
employed by the engineers is the policy
adopted by some other labor organi-
zations-the policy of employing the
last remedy first of striking without
an attempt at arbitration. And what is
more, the orders which pursue this mis-
taken policy almost always forfeit pub
lie sympathy by committing violence
and using the boycott as was done at
Cleveland, thus killing the last hope
of success even when primary justice
is on their side. There never was
strike accompanied by violence which
had a successful ending. Indeed, it is
doubtful if many strikes have had sue
| cessful endings, for, even where the OBJ
| ject has been attained, the cost often
has been out of proportion to the bene
| fits received. The locomotive engineers $
have learned this fact, and they are
getting along better than any other
| labor organization in the world.
About a year ago the United States
Commissioner of Labor compiled some
interesting statistics in relation to the
strikes had in this country between the
years 1881 and 1894. We have gathered
these statistics into little table, which

a disciplinarian as Kitchener 1t Is
quite possible that he may strike no
blow at first but that he will wait UNI
til he has force enough to strike a
crushing one. The greatest of generals
are those who amid the popular clamdr
for action, can so rule themselves that
popular clamor has no effect upon their
plans, but they go deliberately forward
never swerving from their main pur-
pose, no matter what may be said.
That there will be an immense deal of
popular clamor for immediate action is
undoubted. There was the same popu-
lar clamor against the Duke of We'll
lington. then Sir Arthur Wellesley at the
beginning of the Peninsular campaign,
and there has been the same popular
clamor against many and many another

A REVERSE.

The reverse to the British arms in
the Transvaal will be greater in it's
moral effect upon the Beers, than in it's
actual effect in loss of men may be.
The story as it comes is not very clear
but it is evident that having lost their
reserve ammunition and their guns,
which stampeded at the commencement
of the engagement, as soon as their
cartridge belts were empty, the two de-
tachments were helpless, and in that
condition the commander judged it best
to save life, and not put it to unneces-
sary slaughter. But there are two
things not clear. First, why finding
themselves bereft of their artillery and
ammunition, the attachments did not
fall back? and second, when they did
not fall back why did General White
abandon them? Why did he not send
assistance, for he must have known
their plight.
OF course it is easy to PROFOUND such
question, but after all no one on the
outside knows the circumstances, and
both questions may be satisfactorily
answered. 1t may be that by sacrificing
this portion of his little force General
White was able to save his main body,
for it is very plain that his main force
was sore bestead. OF course, should he
survive the war, the General will be
called to account for his errors and will
doubtless be court martialed, for a gem
eral must make no mistakes. But this
is no time for the British to be dis
cussing mistakes, they have a pretty
hard fight on hand, and must devote
their full energies to that and nothing
else.

general in command, will probably

The Samoan question is tending tow
ards solution. 1t appears from tele-
gram that Great Britain is disposed to
cede any claims she may have on the
Islands. This leaves the matter between
the United States and Germany. All
that the United States needs is the
harbor of Page Page, so that it seems
likely that the remainder of the Islands
will fall under German sway. Once the
fripartite control is removed and sin
gle power has full swing in Samoa, fac
tion will cease, and the Islands will
have a chance to develop.

FOR THE UNHAPPY.

The annual donation to the settlement
at Molokai is now on the tapis. There
is no more worthy object on the Islands
that our citizens can subscribe to. To
those who are utterly helpless it is not
only duty but melancholy pleas
ure to render aid, and there is no one
in whole, hearty life who will grudge
giving some assistance to those who
need it as much as those who live on
the promontory of Kalawao.
1t is not that the government does
not do its duty by its wards. 1t does
There is probably no community upon
the face of the earth that does so much
for those who are under it's care as this.
Money is voted by the Legislature with
out comment almost. AS far as gov
eminent care is concerned our Island
community has nothing 10 reproach it
self with, everything is done that can
be DONE and even then point is
stretched.
But there is something more than the
regular distribution and regulation of
government funds There is a human
fellow feeling which is craved for. 1t
is natural feeling. So every year,
through the exertions of Wray Taylor,
a concert is given to raise funds for a
Christmas gift to those unfortunates on
the North side of Molokai. This gift
from the capital city to those unhappy
sufferers brings them in touch with
their own kind. They realize that they
are not forgotten and those who con-
tribute will feel a greater joy in their
Christmas festival, for having contri-
buted a ray of happiness to a set of
people, who, in any other country
would be lost to all hope, to all idea
of realizing a friendly attention, or a
loving gift, such as is hoped to be for
warded from the proceeds Of the ap
preaching concert.
