LABOR LAWS ~ VIEW ZEALAND.
The Hon. n. II. Lusk Tells Of me Good Eject
Of Compnl.ory Admiration.

wAsHTNdToS Sept 1eThe Hon. IT, RI
Lusk. formerly n member OF the Parliament
OF New Zealand. was before the Industrial
Commission to-day and gave an Interesting
account OF arbitration In New Zealand, where
II is compulsory. The court Is composed Of
one representative Of capital. one Of labor and
one OF the Supreme Court. The scale Of wages
Is fixed by IL for one year and applies 10 all
parts Of the colony, One effect Of the law has
been to force the labor unions 20 become incor-
porated which makes them subject TO the decreea
of the court He said what trouble had arisen
over the operation Of the law had come fron,
the employers and not from the labor unions.
A few capitalists thought they could fight tho
law but had been convinced that they could
not. The law had resulted In better hour,
pay and conditions for labor, and these had
In turn been conducive 10 an increased output
Of superior goods. BY improving the cond-
tion Of the working clnsses their product had
been increased and improved. Better work
men and better machinery were the products
OF better wages. There had been large In
crease In the exports from the United States,
Workmen In New Zealand are well organized
and the laws regarding hours OF labor. sani-
tatlon, &c. are ve-y strict. No male under
10 or female under is is permitted 20 work in
the factories The men work forty-eight
hours n week and the women forty-four, having
four hours for half holiday each week. The
education Of the children is compulsory
year lasts about nine months, and all children
must attend school three DAYS out OF four
The attendance averages 20 per cent more
than In the other countries.

disappear quickly when her coal be
comes too costly to be used proftaby ex'
cept for domestic purposes, unless. In the
meantime. some other means OF creating
heat and power is discovered As the
National Repiep in an article on this subject
reminds It's readers. England Keeps a
shop and sells to the world In compe-
tition with other countries that also keep
shops. The moment England ceases to
be able to sell as cheaply as do her rivals,
her foreign business will be lost. No doubt,
trade takes some time to forsake Gus
tomary channel. but. In the end-and'
In these days OF steam and electricity,
the end comes very soon-it Is certain
that each country will buy what 1t needs
from whatever countries sell It cheap
est. Nearly the whole Of England's ex-
ment she fails to procure II cheaply enough
for manufacturing purposes. her trade will
pass from her and go to countries which
can obtain coal on lower terms.
OF the solutions OF Englands coal prob
lem that have been propounded, none seems
to offer remedy that Is Immediately prac-
ticable. An export duty Is out Of the ques-
ton. because that would merely precipitate
the paralysis OF British shipping which, as
we have pointed out, is very largely
engaged In the carriage OF the COM
bustible. A reduction in the rates charged
for carrying coal by English railways
is also unattainable under present cir
cumstances. Before English lines could
rival the American railroads In this respect,
they would have TO reconstruct the whole
plant employed In the business turn tables,
sdings. tips. wagons and locomotives
would all have to be made on larger
scale than at present. The English
coal wagons hold from eight TO ten tons;
there are but few that carry twelve tons
standard coal car in the United States
holds thirty tons 1t would need very
heavy outlay TO reequip English railways
for coal trafflo as it Is conducted in the
United States, and there is at present no
reason to believe that English shareholders
would submit TO the required sacrifice.
1t ia undoubtedly true that large por-
ton OF the coal consumed in England. as
elsewhere, is wasted, and that the heat and
power furnished through the use OF boilers
and engines could all be obtained by a
much smaller expenditure OF fuel.
Much greater economies in the produc-
ton OF power have been realized in ma
rine than in land engines This difference
ought to be reduced by science and inven-
ton. Until such a reduction. however. is
effected, and until those who use coal for
raising steam are made acquainted with the
economizing inventions and methods that
already exist, there Ia no reason to expect
that the need OF the combustibe
on the part Of English manufacturers
will be materially lessened. But. II the
need OF coal continues to be the same, and
the price OF the commodity rises. either the
prices OF English manufactures must he
raised or their output must
be contracted. Either result would spell
disaster

A BARBARoUs CIVILIZATION.

There always is more than one side
10 quarrel. and this must, Of neces-
sity, apply to the Chinese imbroglo.
W b. Curtis in the Chicago Record,
sets forth the Chinese version Of the
trouble lie points out that the riots
commenced in the Shantung province,
where Belgian and German railroad
builders are employed and that the
natives have been very much provoked
to violence against these intruders
He says that portion OF China Is one
OF the most densely populated sections
Of the earth, and the people are carry
ing on a heroic struggle for existence.
Every inch OF ground is cultivated;
every straw and every sprig OF vegeta.
ton is utilized in some way for the
support OF life. The country is divided
into little farms, which are cultivated
almost with a microscope, one might
say, because Il Is necessary for the sub
sistence Of some family and the dead
are buried in the gravel hills, where
nothing can grow.
Mr.. Curtis alleges that through this
country, where every inch Of ground is
precious. foreign engineers are con-
structing railroads, and while so do.
ing, are manlfestlng a most brutal in
difference TO the needs Of the people.
He continues:
They run their lines across the farms,
they tear down houses. burn villages,
destroy crops. seize supplies, impress
labor and treat the people IN a most
cruel and arbitrary manner IL the
same things should occur In the United
States or In Europe or In any other
part Of the world they would be at
tended by the same results. The Boxers
were organized TO resist and revenge
these outrages, and they use the only
means within their power 20 punish
their oppressors. A Chinaman never
gets any sympathy either in America or
elsewhere. and the consciousness Of that
fact compels him 10 carry on his oper.
ations with as great secrecy as possible.
II the German and Belgian railroad
people would treat the poor CoOlie |
farmers Of the Shangtung province In a
Just and honorable manner, and give !
them fair compensation for the property
they have taken or destroyed, there
would be no need OF sending fleets 10 the |
Chinese waters or demanding indemnity |
at the Tsung-li-Yamen.
It is impossible 10 sympathize with !
the methods Of the Boxers; but II the
proyocatlon to anger is such as here
represented, the verdict upon them
must be framed with due consideration
for the proyocation offered. and the
circumstances existing.
Civilization Is a good thing, but II the
methods by which it Is forced upon
are worse than barbarous.
the latter must be excused for refusing
It's benefits.
