AVERT THE STRIKE

All good citizens hope that the mat
ter in dispute between the union ma
chinists and their employers in this
city will be settled amicably, and that
there will be no strike. A serious labor
struggle is a public as well as a private
calamity. and in these days OF CONNER
cial prosperity everything in reason is
done by both laborers and capitalists

stage. Walking delegates and
political demagogues and mountebanks
Frequently cause trouble by appealing
to the passions and prejudices, and not
TO the reason of the workingmen, but
as skilled labor in this city is unusual

of the opinion that the machinists will
act deliberately in this matter, and not
take a step so serious without giving
due Thought % it's grave consequences.
Much OF the work now being done
by our local machine manufacturing
concerns is fer the foreign market 10

French, English and other manufac-
turers and to obtain a foothold in the
foreign field, they were forced to take
the contracts at a small margin OF
profit based on a ten-hour working day.
This is one OF the principal reasons why
The employers are avelse to granting to
the machinists their demand for a nine
hour day. They say they do not want a
strike. There is no disposition on their
part to precipitate one. II would clog,
II not actually block the wheels Of in
dustry, and bring suffering to employ
ers and workingmen alike.
We should think chat, II the conserva-
tive manufacturers and the cool-headed
and Intelligent machinists were to get
together in a live-and-let-live spirit the
old relaicn Of harmony and good feeling
could be maintained and a strike ant

Everybody throughout the county who
has fruit trees should make determined
effort 10 destroy the worms and their nests,
which bid fair TO be as numerous as they
were last year. Don't neglect it. Burning
of nests as soon as discovered Is, in all
probability, the only way in which these
pests can be exterminated. They should be
kept down. If left alone they not only
iDjure the fruit trees, but destroy the beauty

they build their nests.

Tar Macadam, as Used in Hamilton,
Meets With Much Favor in the En-
pire State for Several Reasons.
From the Flint Globe:
The recent trip of City Engineer Hall, to
Hamilton, Ontario, during which he in
spected the famed tar macadam pavement
in that city, has not been forgotten and the
following clipping from the Fredonia Cen
sor, OF New York, explains itself in the
rece ption which the new paving is receiving
in other cities outside the Canadian border
and also that Hall was not mised in what
he saw In the Canadian city:
'Danie Il. Post, of jamestown, came to-
day TO look at the tarred macsdam on Cen
trail Avenue. Says he wants it on the street
where he lives instead of brick that is pro-
posed. This is good time to see our pave
ment for each course is in view. The street
will be completed this month. Everybody
VINO drives on it is delighted. 1t is smooth
and clean like asphalt, easier repaired and
we believe more durable. The street is now
swept regularly. Engineer Morrissey says
he is getting letters of inquiry from all over
the United States.
This tarred macadam cost ST. OF per square
yard besides 25 cents per cubic yard for
earth excavation, 40 cents per lineal foot
for curbing, six cents per lineal foot for
drain tile laid each side of the street below
the curbing. The macadam Is one foot
thick-four inches quarry stone, three
inches crushed stone, four inches crushed
stone tarred, l inch fine crushed stone
tarred for surface, each course rolled. The
roadway, SO feet wide. will cost between So
and 81 per lineal foot, all complete. Rail-
road pays for five feet width, village one
third, abutters each side one-third. Tax
on abutters will be less than 50 per front
foot with privilege of plying one-tenth
each year for ten years. Tarred macadam
has been in use in Hamilton, Canada, long
enough to thoroughly test it,"

The following Is brief extract from the
address of President Mckinley at the
launching OF the battleship ONO at San
Francisco:
What We want is to build more ships.
We ough. to have good commercial line
from here to The Philippines, made in the
Union Iron Works, built by American
workingmen and manned by American
sailors, and carrying the American flag.
There is nothing in this world that brings
people so close together as commerce.
There Is nothing In this world that Sd much
promotes the universal brotherhood of man
| as commerce, and we want To encourage
commerce. The nations are close together
together. We have overcome distance.
We not only want commercial line, but
we want cable line, from here to the
Philippines. We want 1t to be an American
cable that cannot be cut by any power in
the world. They say trade follows the flag.
Toe telegraph must follow trade.
My fellow citizens, we have got problems
before US. We never had more important
ones. We have expanded. Do you want
to contract? (Cries of "No!') 1t is not a
question of whether we will acquire the
Philippines or Porto Rico or Guam or Wake
Island or Hawaii or Tutuila. We have
acquired them; they are ours. The question
is. Shall we give them up? General cries
of "No!D
And from one end of this country to the
other comes the answer. They are ours,
not to subjugate, but to emancipate; not to
rule in the power OF might, but TO take to
those distant people the principles of liberty,
of freedom OF conscience and OF opportunity
that are enjoyed by the people OF the
United States.
Our flag never goes anywhere except it
carries blessings. Our flag never oppressed
anybody, but it has given freedom to every
people over wnom it has floated.
Having said this much, only want to
thank you all for this most cordial welcome
| am glad again to meet the workingmen of
my country. All my public life has been
devoted in efforts to giving the workingmen
the best opportunity, the best chance for
good wages and steady employ ment.
When labor is well employed the country
is safe, and when labor is well employed
there are contentment and happiness in the
homes OF the laboring men. Let us do our
duty, the great public duty that confronts
us. Let us do it walking humbly before
God, dealing justly and mercifully, and
always asking His favor and guidance.

best number of this new weekly magazine
