The Trust Changed rbtnp..


In The Worlds Work Mr.. NJ. G. Gun.
milf writes Of McKeesport in strike
time and draws vivid comparison
between the conditions there before the
steel trust and the Amalgamated asso-
clation had their contest and since.
In description Of the founder of the
w. Devices Wood mill he says:
Every man in the works." said
striker to me In McKeesport, was
Tom or Joe or Bill to him. Every day
he would walk about and joke with the
workers at the furnaces and rolls, and
il man looked i'll he would slap him
on the back and tell him to take few
days Off. He didn't take the vacation
out of the mans time. either" When
q man had been killed in the mills
the list of cuts and burns and broken
backs along the Monongahela Is up
palling-the widow and children reg
ularly received the dead mans pay en-
velope until they were able to take
care of themselves. On his return
from journey he always made a
round of the mills, shaking hands with
every Tom and Joe and Bill in the
whole plant, like man coming back
to his family. Once, too, 1t is said, he
was offered chance to buy real estate
to sell TO his workmen--and the men
working for him We're of the kind that
begin early to acquire homes-but his
reported reply was, mo, ] will not
take back from the men the money I
have paid them in wages"

II Pays to Re Fair.

An illustration Of what may be done
In the betterment of the conditions for
wage sarners through the hearty CO.
operation of employer and employees
and the cultivation of spirit of amity
rather than Of hostility between them
Is furnished In the record of a large
shoe mandatory In Boston. This es-
tablishment has voluntarily reduced
the hours of work for its 1000 en-
ployees to eight. The employees are
so we'll pleased with the new condi-
tions that the output is as great as IL
was when the concern was working
ten hours every day. The pay roll is
$1,000,000 annually, and the daily out
put Is 5000 finished pairs of shoes.
The change from ten to nine hours
and from nine to eight hours has been
effected without reducing the daily
wage of the week hands, which com.
prise one-hfth of the total working
force, while the piece hands earn as
much money weekly as under the ten
hour schedule. Another evidence of
sanity is the agreement between the
company and its employees that every
grievance which cannot be otherwise
adjusted shall be submitted to the
state board of arbitration.

To Escape Criti-
cism.
Uniformity Of Cars on
E. & N. Lines
Will Enable Borrowed Rolling
Stock to Escape De lection.

1t is said that when the consolida
ton of the Everett Moore properties
Is complete, the present managers will
occupy positions similar to those of
division superintendent of steam
trunk lines.
Another change talked of is the
omitting Of names of cities from all
cars of the syndicate. This will doubt
less come with the uniformity OF
rolling stock on the various lines. Ad-
ditional cars are frequently needed to
handle special crowds, and the man.
ayers believe that the borrowing Of
cars from one line to another would
be more harmonious if they were not
SO marked that the people could easily
detect the borrowed cars. In the
smaller towns there would naturally
be a disposition among the citizens
to believe that their cities were being
used as dumping grounds for lines in
the larger cities. BY uniformity Of
rolling stock, this criticism, the man
ayers believe, will be escaped.

in a Number of Settlements They
Are the Gamers.
In Boston 10 Establishments En-

Thus Far, Leaving But 1900
Men Still out.

Washington, May 24.-President
O'Connell, of the Machinists' associa-
ton, in summarizing the situation
Thursday night, said:
The situation nov shows that we
are largely the gamer in the num-
Der of settlements made. The add
justments reported during the day
show gain in New England of 1900
in the number of men returned to
work with the demands granted; of
900 to GOO in Ohio, and probably 1000
in Pennsylvania. About 1000 men
struck Thursday. There are some
additions in Philadelphia and some
in the Sea Board Air Line shops al
Americas. Ga. Our policy is TO dis
courage bringing out any more men
than is absolutely necessary to effect
the success of the movement
At indianapolis the American Bicy-
Gle Co. is reported as agreeing TO the
demands but refusing TO sign the
agreement. The same condition eX-
lists at several other points and the
matter is being, left to the local or
ganization TO settle. Mr.. OConnell
said Thursday night that he could not
understand this policy on the part of
the employers, but was not disposed
to haggle over minor issue. and if
necessary he would not insists On the
men staying out on account )t that
technically. He said the organiza-
ton of the men is sufficient to enforce
their demands.
Washington. May 2j.-President
James O'Connell. of the international
Association of Machinists, announced
that he would recommend to the next
annual convention of machinists at
Toronto, beginning June 3, that It
date be set for a nine-hour day
without reduction of wages on all
the railroads of the country. On
railroads which fail 10 comply with
this demand. a strike Will be ordered.
This recommendation will be made
in Mr.. O'Connell'S annual report.
Mr.. O'Connell says that such strike
would involve probably 100000 men,
including 10000 machinists. the others
being boiler makers, pattern makers
and semi-skilled worl1men who work
with the machinists in the various
shops. The policy Will be to enforce
the demand by tying up practically
the entire mechanical service of the
roads.
Mr.. O'Connell says the convention
doubtless VIII fix a date when the
nine-hour day must be In operation
on all roads. and he believes this dato
should Zoe some day in the autumn.
Mr.. O'Connell says the outlook of
the present strike was gratifying. A
report from Memphis, Tenn, an
nounccd the signature of six estab-
Iishments there to the agreement.
The headquarters of the strike has
been shifted from Washington 10 To-
ronto, for which city President O'Con-
nell left Friday night. He Will stop
en- route at Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and
possibly some other city 10 confer
