AVOIDING STRIKES.

The Pennsylvania railroad has at
last adopted an effectual plan to pre-
vent strikes The plan has been
gradually approached through the rule
of the company, enforced for some
wears. that a competent employee
should not be discharged, unless there
was a reason for it which the en-
nJovees generally would approve. An
Employees Relief Fund was created
como wears ago, which was supplied
by the employees alone. There has
now been established a Pension Fund

from which every employee, who has
reached the age OF seventy years will
be allowed a sum measured by the
average wages he received, and MS
length of service. The annual cost
to the company will be about s3OO,ooO
wear or the interest on $1,000, 900.
The New York Central Railroad Com
panv adopted a scheme similar 10 this,
some years ago, and the employees en-
gagged in the running Of cars do not
strike.
But this Pension Fund was not prac-
tfcable until the railroads We're IN the
hands of competent men. and. what
is of more Importance, the idle. dis
sipated and incompetent employees had
been gradually weeded out.
The Pennsylvania company long ago
gave up the prevalent idea that the
| cheapest labor was the best. 1t requlr-
ed competent men, and paid them good
and steady wages. 1t could nave oo-
tanned numbers, without limit, OF
F,uropean immigrants, at one-half the
cost of what is paid 10 competent men.
The men who managed it's affairs, as
sisted by the advice of scholars, ana
students, determined that the only way
| TO prevent strikes was TO make 1t for
| the interests of the wOrkmen not TO
strike. This wisdom in dealing with
the labor question could not be fol-
| lowed by the mere speculative holders
| of railway securities. The men who
are rushing madly after fortune are
rarely long headed. They hear no
sound but the rafting of the dice or
speculation, and lose their heads and
their humanity while they rise In the
balloon of prosperity. When men have
had experience, and are lucky enough
TO understand economic laws, that is,
are careful students of the social HE,
| they detect the wastefulness OF selfish
ness, and the abiding profit in Great
ing a common interest among all who
are engaged in any industrial enter
prise.
There is a large number OF intelli-
gent workmen on the Mainland VINO
lare always ready to strike, and there
lare as many more VINO are never ready
to strike This difference in attitude
towards employers is entirely due &c
the personal factor in each case, the
intelligence and temperament of the
employees.
The experience and example OF the
Pennsylvania company should have
great value here, in regulating the re
llations of laborers and their EN-
ployers.
AS these relations at present are, Il
a considerable extent, those arising GU
of the barbarism of the penal contrac
system, the new and most judiciou
arrangements, coming with new law
and new conditions, should be arrang

The delegates agree that the nations
cannot stop cutting each other

QUIET, SUSTAINED STRENGTH
The Feature of the Situation in Trade
Circies-OutIook Is Bright

New York, Jan. 7-Bradstreet's says:
The situation is one of quiet, sustained
strength. In wholesale distributive
trade annual inventories have occupied
attention, and distribution in this
branch is. therefore. of only seasonable
proportions. Retail trade reflects the
quieting down of the eager demand rul-
ing before the holidays, but it is sHynifi-
cant that the majority of the reports
received since Jan. in this and in the
wholesale branch refer to collections
as almost uniformly good. Export
trade, particularly in cereals.' continues
well up to maximum figures, while re-
ports from the new great industries OF
the country are favorable. The cruder
forms of iron and steel have been in
rather less demand this week at leading
centers, and large orders are few in
number. heavy consumers having pref
ty well covered themselves for some
months to come by their liberal buying

particularly in steel, rather more has
evidently been doing, this being re-
