situation calmly and without stress of excite
ment, and has awaited full and explicit inter
probation of existing laws before committing
itself to decisive action. Its course will con-
ciliate public opinion. which insists upon having
a fair field and no favor under the law In every
conflict between organized capital and organized
labor. The British trades unions have made
many mistakes and brought not few de-
/plorable labor wars; but they have also done
much to improve the condition Of the working
masses 1t would be national disaster il they
were to be reduced to helplessness through the
decisions of the Law Lords, and rendered in
capable of protecting the rights of the working
classes. That is the opinion of all just and
generous men, who are in sympathy with higher
standards of life and conduct among the labor
ing millions. Nothing was gained for the work
ing world when the Trades Union Congress ad-
vocated year after year the naturalization Of
private property and the accumulation by con-
fiscation Of common stock of socialism. When
the leaders returned to the earliest traditions OF
the movement and converted the congress into
a representative body Of workers In trades they
strengthened their hold upon public respect and
sympathy. They have done nothing this week
at Swansea to impair their influence They have
approached a momentous question cautiously
and soberly.
When the conflict came on, a few years ago,
between the Amalgamated Engineers and the
Employers National Federation, there was a
test of endurance between gigantic forces of
labor and capital The unionisr1. with Its
sympathetic strikes and federated trades. had
compelled employers to combine for self-de-
fence In federations of their own. with tremen
dous resources for ordering sympathetic lock-
outs and drawing upon immense reserves of
strength. A truce became Indispensable after
a long period of devastating warfare. and In
England the forces of labor and capital have
not since been measured against each other on
a large scale. In the same way nations with
heavy armaments reach at last stage of
preparation for stupendous a scale
that hostilities become impracticable from sheer
dread OF the consequences of breach of peace
Nations cannot venture TO disarm completely,
nor can the rival forces of labor and capital 1t
would be sorry day for Industrial England 1t
the employers and rich corporations, with the
help of the courts, were to have the trades
unions utterly at their mercy and incapable of
making stand for their rights and their griev-

WHY INSURANCE RATES ARE HIGHER.
SMALL CHURCHES HARD PUSHED TO RAISE THE
INCREASED PREMIUMS.

IT was said yesterday that insurance companies
had raised the premiums on church property in
Brooklyn that several pastors of small churches
that borough were considering whether they should
cancel the policies upon their churches.
Father James j. McAteer. pastor of the Church
of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fort Hamilton
ave- near Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn. last Sunday
asked for a special and generous collection with
wh.h to pay the premium on the insurance of his
church. he explained that the premiums had re-
Gently been increased 80 per cent.
An insurance man. who writes policies for many
churches in Brooklyn. said yesterday that within
the last three years fire insurance rates upon
Iy every class of building had increased 800 and 400
per cent.
This marked rise in premiums has been brought
about by material causes he said Insurance
companies throughout the country suffered such
heavy losses that they had to raise the rate or go
out of business. Their only income is from pre-
miums. Previous to 1898 there were no establishes
rates Formerly where we insured building for
90 cents on 500 for three years We now charge IS
cents a year. This increase is almost as marked
in the case of stock in ireproof building in
that is not ireproof.
