INSURANCE AGAINST STRIKES.
Austrian Nnnufacturers' Association
VIII Tint Object.

Frederick ". HCssfeld, Uaited States
Consul at Trieste. has transmitted to the
State Department the following interest
ing report on Strike Insurance in Aus
tria:"
"A number of Austrian manufacturers
have recently formed an association for
insurance against strikes. II is the OBJ
ject of the association to indemnify its
several members for all losses sustained
by them from unjust strikes which may
break out in their respective establish
ments. whether voluntary, sympathetic,
OF forced. Each member is to pay week
ly premium equal to from to per cent
of the amount of his pay roll. The in
demnity to be paid to him in case of
strike is to be, tentatively, so per cent
of the wages paid to his employees for the
week next preceding the suspension of
work. 1t is provided, however, that no
indemnity shall be paid if q committee
of confidential agents appointed by the as
sociation shall after a full investigation
of all the circumstances, find the strike q
justidable one.
1T is worthy of note that a report
upon and discussion of the subject, In
surance Against Strikes forms a promi-
nent feature of the programme of the na-
tional convention of Austrian manufactur-
ers. to be held this month
1t appears that this movement of in
dustriai employers is not confined to Aus
tria. II is reported that similar insur-
anee association, though on a smaller
scale, has been organized in Leipzig.
Both the Austrian and German associa-
tions. it appears, recognize in principle
the business Of strikes; which is, at least
in this country. an important concession
to labor Whether this recognition will
have any practical result, remains for the
nFasnnt a matter of conjecture ;"

A Lesson in This Rich Mans Life.
From Success.

A millionaire in New York told the writer that
when he boy, he let himself out by verbal
contract for FIVE years, at $3.50 week. in large
dry goods store in New York At the end OF
three years this young man had developed such
skill in Judging goods that another concern Of
fered him SO. 900 year TO go abroad as its buyer
He said that he did not mention this offer to his
employers even suggest the breaking of his
agreement to work for $50 a week, although
verbal, until his time up Many people would
say he was very foolish not TO accept the offer
mentioned, but the fact was that his firm, in
which he ultimately became partner, paid him
$4,000 year at the expiration of his $3.50 con-
tract. They that he S-,s giving them many
times the amount Of his salar,, and in the end he
was the gamer Suppose he had said to himself,
4'Tbey give me only 81. so week, and | will earn
only $3.50 week when am getting only 81. :"
This IS what many boys would have said, aad

The Japanese Way in Battle.

When the allies lay under the fire from the
walls OF Tientsin, and 20 show inch of head
meant death, occurred a striking incident. The
japanese held row of huts along canal leading
to the south gate of the city about half mile
away An interval OF $50 yards between two rows
of these Houses was a zone of death. and the
japanese forces occupied both sides OF it. No
one knows how many thousand Chinese rifles COW
cred this area.H Japanese officer galoped up to
the shelter of the nearest house and started sol
der with q verbal order across the open zone.
Within thirty yards he foH dead. Another sol
der, without an instant's hesitation. dashed out
with the repeated message, and his body fell at
his comp Gion's feet Instantly, like clock work,
if the whole Japanese army were available to be
slaughtered the officer sent forward another
white-uniforned hrown-visaged messenger To
the relief OF all onlooksrs he got safely through.
