PLACED DEAD COWS.

New York Sun: "It was a great
scheme" laughed the claim agent, "and
if hadn't by the merest chance tumbled
to the old mans game it might have been
going on yet. Some time ago I was noti-
fed that a man down the road had had a
COW killed by the cars and that he had
put in a claim for damages. / looked the
matter up and as 1t was perfectly
straight on the face Of it there was moth

and was hardly back when / was again
notified that the old man had had an
other cow killed by the cars.
Il looked into lat claim a little more
carefully, but it was all right as far as l
could see, and I settled with him. Be-
fore 1 had had time to catch a train back
to the city the old man sent me word that
he a had another COW killed by the
cars. This struck me as being very
strange, particularly so as none Of the
train crews had reported killing any
cows. Moreover, they all denied it when
questioned about it.
81 went out where the COW was still
lying by the side Of the track and found it
almost cut to pieces. I was about to
settle with the old man, as there was no
other way out of it, when his 1~0-year-old
boy came running up.
"'Pop!' he gasped. there's another COW
dead! Hurry up and we'll drag her down
here and make the old railroad think
that they have killed two this time
"Well, the truth of the matter was that
the old mans stock had been dying from
some cause, and he with great fore
thought had dragged the victims down
on the railroad grade, pounded a few
holes in them with q pickaxe. and then
calmly notified the railroad to SETTLE"

Then he went on to tell how he had
cooked for President Grant at Atlantic
City and how he had taken to drink five
years ago when his wife died. Gradually
he lost his hold; the last place he hat

The Welsh tinplate industry has been
for a considerable time past in a bad
way. In this respect it has only followed
the example of others of our standard in
dustries in the last decade. Industry af-
ter industry has, as it were, got strung
up to such a pitch of intensity, owing.
to the competition of trade rivals, that
profits are reduced to the vanishing point
and wages shrink to the starvation leve,.
The birmingham brass trade was a most
notable case in point. Not so many years
ago the men We're working sixty hours
a week for about $3.50 as their weekly
stipend. The brass-trade masters were
scarcely better off. Acute cutting had
brought down profits to ~ per cent, and
in some cases to / per cent. The 'al-
lance" between employers and employed,
which at last was evolved from the minds
of a few brainy men, has paved the way
out of this slough of %despond. Its mode
of operation was and is this:The employ
ers united into a trade association and
agreed to drop cutting and put up prices
to a paying and considerably higher Level.
Then to & uard against urderselling. ell
Their by an employer who "ratted" from
the alliance or an employer who stood
outside the alliance, the worklmen were To-
preached. The allia engaged itself to
employ none other than union men, and
1t engaged itself to pay them higher
wages and give them shorter hours, be-
sides many other durable advantages. In
return the worklnen were to pledge Them,
selves not to work for any employer who
sold his bedsteads and other brasswOrk
under alliance rates. There was, OF
course, a host Of minor conditions and
benefits, and the idea is developing in
many ways. Notwithstanding obvious
defects. the alliance and it's system of.
observation-disclosures that is what it
! amounts to-has become very popular in
a whole group of metal trades, and it is
proposed to extend it now to the decrepit
tinplate industry.
