The boys do hard work without pay

AT the Nicholson fire last week sew
eral of them hauled the engine by
hand through the mud to the build
ings, quickly charged it and had "A
stream playing on the partition which
separated the engine room from the
burning ore room. The engine room
is the most valuable in the works and
that little engine put out the fire on
the partition and the charred boards
are standing today. Clint Taylor,
Oscar Cowan, Ed Ault and others
worked like beavers and came out OF
the fire with soiled clothes and be-
grimed faces.
In this connection the remark of Mr..
A. G. Baker, of Cementville, to a re-
porter for the REGISTER, is worth
printing. Mr. Baker lives in house
adjoining the burned store and he
says he feels sure that but for the fire
boys his house would be in ruins and
he feels grateful and wants to publicly
say so.

No Shut Down Necessary.

AS predicted in the REGIsTER's ac-
count of the fire at Nicholson's
smelter there will be no shut down,
thanks to the saving of the engine
room. The kiln which was burned
out was already badly in need of re-
pair and will be shut down for short
time while these repairs are made, but
the other hlns will be operated right
along. The ore bin was loss but the
machinery was unhurt. So with the
machinery still running uninterrupt-
eddy, two roast kilns still in opera
ton and the furnaces absolutely IN
touched not a man will be laid of and
not day lost. 1t is good news for
owner and employe.

CUBAN CENSUS FACTS.

Kansas City Star: The Cuban cen
sus, Just published by the Government
at Washington, offers corroborative
evidence, if that were needed, of the
Justice of American Intervention. The
island is now about As densely popu-
lated as Iowa, whereas Porto Rico, in
spite OF its mountains and lack of
large cities, is as thickly settled as
Massachusetts. The leniency of Span
ish rulein the eastern island is respon-
sible for this. According to the census
the instruction and the policy of re-
concentration cost Cuba 300, 900 lives
from 1895 to 1899 These figures take
into account the lessened birth rate as
well as the increased number of
deaths.
More proof in the same line is
offered by the excessive proportion
of widows. The fact that there is one
widow TO every two wives, while in the
United States the ratio is one to five,
shows the mortality of the insurrector
In the western provinces, where the
struggle was most severe, this abnor-
NAL condition is most developed.
Standard life tables show that the
number Of children under five years OF
age should slightly exceed the number
of those between five andten. InCuba
there are nearly twice as many of the
older as of the Younger children. The
population under the age of five is
about two-thirds as numerous as those
in the United States. No country is
known to have so small percentage
OF children OF this age as Cuba. Heavy
infant mortality and the diminished
birth rate probably have both contrl
buted to this condition,
l. is to be noted that in Cuba tire
times as large percentage OF chill
dren, between the ages of 10 and IA

OFFICIAL PApEROF ALIEN COUNT
PROFIT SHARING IN lola.

III mas Deen announced JnaJ Jne IlJJS-
burg Coal Company has offered to
sell its stock to its 10000 employees
on the installment plan, thus encour-
aging the men to invest their savings
in way which makes them part pro-
prieters of the mines which they work
and gives them share in the earn
ings of the Company. There are a
great many smaller institutions which
have practiced this plan for many
years with most gratifying results and
it will be interesting to note whether
the extension of the plan will alleviate
conditions in the coal districts.
In this connection it is probably
news to good many even of our own
people, that the Lanyon Zinc Company
has for several months had in opera
ton a plan which is in effect shar-
ing of profits with its employees. 1t
came about in this way: When the
new management took possession of
the works a careful system of checks
and balances was devised by which
the exact amount of spelter derived
from given quantity of ore was
known. 1t was found that this quaint
ity lacked good deal of being as
much as the assays showed it ought to
be, and it seemed probable that at
least part of this loss was due to
careless handling of the ore at some
point in the smelling process. The
management therefore hit upon the
idea of Offering the workmen a
premium for more careful work. TAX
ing the average amount of metal which
had been obtained through consid-
cradle period as basis, the Company
offered the operatives a certain per-
centage of the value OF all the metal
obtained in excess of the usual amount.
The first month this plan went into eff
feet it cost the Company 5000 to pay
the premiums. The next month the
men began to see that it was paying
them to do good work, and they cap
tured $ll00 in premiums. And during
October the Company distributed
nearly $4,000 among the men, over and
above their regular wages, the pre-
MUM checks running all the way from
a few cents to S45 to each man.
This plan does not impose any
harder work upon the employees as
we understand it; it simply puts a
premium on more careful work. And
that it is exceedingly popular among
the workmen is shown by the loyalty
of the men to the Company and by the
candOr and promptness with which
man who shows signs of carelessnes'
is "jaclled up by some fellow work
man. The ore. passes through hun
dreds of hands and the efficiency o
Indifference of one man may cut down
the premium checks of every othc
man on the works The result i, tina
the work i'm the three shelters of TIM
Lanyon Zinc Company is done with
snap and precision that suggests mil
itary discipline, and that the relation
existing between the workmeu and tn
Company are more like the relation
between partners than between en-
ployer and employees. IT is "A grca
scheme.

are at work S in the United States.
This is due to the poverty of the
people. Gainful work needs to begin
earlier in Cuba and continue to later
age than in America. The result of
these conditions is at once apparent
in the illiteracy of the people, which in
turn reacts to make them poorer.
Long continued peace, under an
honest and stable government, will
bring about the rehabilitation of the
country. 1t cannot be expected to re-
cover Immediately from the devasta-
tions of the war. Several years must
pass before its population will have
reached a normal condition. One of
the most effective remedies for the
present state of affairs is the influx of
Spanish immigrants. About 10000
have arrived during the present year.
These people are attractedby the light
taxation and the abundance of oppOr-
tunity in Cuba, in contrast with con-
ditions in Spain. These immigrants
add distinctly better element to the
population. They should assist ma
terially in the depleted islands devel-

THE HONG KONG JUNTA.

The news appearing in late dis
patches that our Government has ask
ed Great Britain to suppress the Fill
pino Junta which has been maintain
ed at Hong Kong since the beginning
of the instruction, is very welcome.
The only business of this Junta has
been to promote in every possible way
the Tagalog revolt in the Philippines.
1t has collected money, bought arms
and ammunition, and transmitted news
and by every other means within its
power contributed to the maintenance
and support of the rebellion. There
can Ice no possible doubt therefore, of
the duty OF the British government,
"a, neutral power, to suppress it,
and there can bee equally no doubt of
it, willingness and ability to do so.
With this Juuta suppressed, with
the greater activity OF our troops
made possible by the dry season, and
particularly with the vanishing OF the
| hope held out by the possibility of the
election of Bryan, the Tagalog inSur'
| rectiun ought soon to be thing of the
| past.
