Wondrous Works,

The manufacture OF the American Pianos and
Organs by Messrs Cornish at their immense fac
tories at Washington, New jersey, is one of the
most interesting exhibitions possible. The vast
works are really wonderful, and the making of the
Cornish American Pianos and Organs can be fol
lowed in all stages from the rough lumber brought
in from the extensive drying kilns and cut up by
the big circular saws in the lower end of the frs,
machine floor to the examination of the cxquisitcly
finished product in the ware rooms The magni-
tudc of their business has made ii necessary for
them TO still further increase their factory space
and they have Just finished an addition 10 their
main building, which will give 1000 cubic feet
more room: they have also enlarged their Office
facilities that they arc now in better shape than
at the rate Of go Pianos and Organs per day. or
lSOGO per annum.
Visitors are always welcome. The factories are
lighted up throughout by electricity in order that
they may be run, when necessary, day and night
Nearly 400 skilled workmen arc employed (many
OF them have held their positions for over 20 years.
The monthly payroll often averages $50 600
McsSrs. Cornish & Co have n splendid reputation
personally. and this firm holds the unique and
remarkable position of being the only manu-
featuring concern building High Grade Pianos
and Organs who sell them direct to the general
public exclusively at first cost All the enormous
profits made by agents. dealers, and music stores
are thus avoided, and a thoroughly reliable in
can be purchased at The right price, and
from the right people.

CURE FOR STRIKES.
New Zealand Finds Remedy in Compulso ry
Arbitration.
Fl. d. Lloyd IN Ainslee's

H. IL. Lt0yd an AinSteeS s.
There had never been any compulsory
arbitration law anywhere else in the world
nor any state arbitration of any sort in
New Zealand when Mr.. Reeves, then Min
ister for Labor, succeeded in inducing
Parliament, in 1894, to pass the bill which
he had prepared. New Zealand was still
sore from the shock of n terrible strike in
1890, and was trembling with apprehension
of threatened strikes.
Mr.. Reeves study Of the efforts at arbi-
tration in other countries had convinced
him that voluntary arbitration was sham,
and that compulsory arbitration was the
only possible solution. The law, which
was passed after three years of struggle,
has been q brilliant success. For five
years New Zealand has been free from
strikes and lockouts, which have destroyed
so much property, done such injury 10
business, and created such ineradicable
social rancor everywhere else in Christen-
dom.
The law is becoming as popular with
manufacturers and employers of labor as
with the workingman. Business men
find themselves now able to make contracts
for two years ahead without fear of strikes.
1t is one of the essential provisions of the
law that, pending the settlement of a dis
pute the workingmen shall not strike and
/ the employers shall not lockout. In fact,
compulsory arbitration proves to be not SO
LuucIi ~ weapon III tile IaHuS Oh one SlGe
against the other, either of the workingmen
against the employers, or the employers
against the workingmen, as a means for
carrying out the will of the ma aiorty of
both employers and employees. These
desire arbitration, and, by means of the
compulsory arbitration law, they can
get it.
An irreconclahle minority no longer
has the power that it had under tie regime
OF voluntary arbitration to upset the whole
basis of settlement. Time and time
again, under the voluntary system, "a
majority Of the workingmen and of the
employers Of New Zealand in important
trades would agree upon the terms of settle
ment as to wages and hours and conditions
of labor, only to have the whole fabric of
their arduously negotiated peace shivered
to atoms by the greed or folly of some
employer, who wanted to retain the privi-
lege Of cutting down the wages of his men
1t did not take the business men of New
Zealand long to see that to leave it thus in
the power Of few to cut down wages was
TO leave it in their power to cut down prices
Arbitration, therefore, protects decent busi-
ness men from reckless competition.
The National tribune., 1900-02-01

the line, and the struggling creatures
caught in the mesheS OF the net are I'M
mercifully whipped to death by the jubilant
savages.
Monkeys constitute one of their fayorite
tidbits, which are all the more appreciated
as they are not so readily caught.
Snakes are simply killed with blows
from switch, and are generally in high
favor. According to the missionary their
popularity is we'll deserved. He himself
took part in meal in which snakes formed
the chief attraction, and found that this
animal could be favorably compared with
prime eel.
Most popular of all delicacies, however,
are the caterpillars. 1t is not unusual
to learn of quarrel which has broken
out among the natives for their possession.
Whereas we should be thankful to any
one removing catcrpillars from any OF our
trees, this act among the Basutos con-
stitutes a serious larcency. The mis-
sionary further explained that n thief who
had been captured before he could dispose
of his booty was compelled by the chief of
the tribe to restore all the caterpillars
discovered in his possession to their original
position on the trees of their rightful owner,
where they could acquire the necessary
fatness requisite for their appearance in the
bill of fare. Equally valuable are the
great locusts. The most favorable time for
catching them are the early morning and
late evening hours, wheE their wings are
