The Dayton Strike.

Trades unions have had in Dayton,
Ohio, the most favorable environ
ment for rational development. The
president Of the National Cash Regis
ter company, Mr.. John Patterson, is,
or was before this last strike of his
employees. in favor OF labor unions.
The concessions which his employees
have thought fit to demand he has
invariably granted. To improve the
condition Of its employees the com.
papy has annually expended two per
cent Of the amount of the pay rolls.
About four years ago the company
voluntarily reduced the number Of
working hours of all employees from
ten, to nine and one half hours, with
out reducing the pay. When the
twenty-seven mOlders quit work
they were receiving from four to four
and one half dollars a day, of nine
hours. They were all working on
piece work and doing as much work
per day as the union allowed men to
finish. According to the rules of the
union to which the molders belong
ed they could not receive any more
per day nor do any more work. At
eleven o'clock on the morning of May
3rd, the molders' union demanded
that the N. G. z. company reinstate
four men two Of whom were discharg-
ed last January because there was not
enough work in the factory to keep
them busy. and two were discharged
last April, one for excessive losses in
his product and one for using bad
language in the shop and for insubor.
dinaJi0n to the foreman Of the shop.
The last two men were not dismissed
on the recommendation of the fore
man without a comprehensive inves.
tigation conducted personally by the
president Of the company. The de.
mand for reinstatement was met by
an invitation to arbitration; the
molders to appoint two men, the com.
pany twO.men and the four to choose
one more. The molders ignored the

friends were the best looking men in

Chaldeans, for to show the king his
dreams" But the sorcerers were
amazed at the kings assurance in
requiring them to tell him his dream.
They professed to be able to read it
when he should relate it to them.
Thereupon the king was enraged, be-
cause he paid them high salary for
soothsaying, fed and lodged them in
a palace, and finally had not required
their services for months before. He
sent them to the eXecutioner and
ordered their heads cut of, all for
pretending to do what they could not
do and taking pay for it. Then as
Daniel had read dreams for less ex-
allied persons about the palace. and
read them correctly, the kings cap
tain proposed Daniel at this time as
an interpreter Of the kings dream.
The vegetarian appeared before him
and after praying, the dream was re.
yealed to him, so that when he told
it to the king, "Nebuchadnezzar fell
upon his face and worshipped Daniel.

town. The example of the amity and
good will existing between John II.
Patterson and his employees has been
written and talked about in every
recent discussion of factory labor.
The Dayton door-yards have been
pictured in the magazines, the Day
ton cottages belonging to the Cash
Register cOmpany's employees have
not been sighted by the magazine,
and illustrated papers. Ameliorators
of all kinds have talked with a pa
thetic break in their voices about the
love between John Patterson and his
employees. 1t is hard to believe that
this perfect welding has at last crack
ed. Or it would be difficult to credit
it, were it not for the story of par
adise lost and the discomfort of the
devil even in heaven. o everlasting
coincidence and repetition! the trou-
BILE in Dayton is the same as it was in
heaven. Lucifer was not dissatisfied
with the Lords treatment of the
other angels although he made them
think that it was noble concern for
them that induced him to leave heav-
en-. There was nothing wrong with
the hours Of praise or with the instru-
ments or supplies with which the
heavenly choir was furnished, for it
has been concluded that Satan's job
before the fall was chorister and first
tenor, but he objected to subordi-
nate place and to taking orders from
some one from aeon to aeon. Another
thing he could not endure was the
continual praise. And this latter ir-
ritation has affected Dayton EN-
plOyes.

en- revOlted against authority. John
Patterson is suffering the reflex &C.

victim to being quoted too often and
praised too much. He was the &C. 4
casion Of the devils second revolt

have recognized some justice in his
plea. for he delivered Job into his
power. Then there was Hobson and
at last Dewey, and even Teddy's day
may come. At any rate the hero of
San Juan is keeping still in these, the
days of his vice presidency. Ameri-
cans are kings in their own right and
a too prolonged elevation of one man
threatens the supremacy of each in
dividual and they begin casting about
for pretext to dethrone him. John
Patterson was canOnized before his
death, and some of his employees tired
of the sight of his halo, and the song
of his virtues. Notwithstanding the
distance Of Nebraska from Ohio. we
confess that We were tired of hearing
about the goodness and kindness of
John Patterson. too.
His beneticiarles dependent upon
him for their daily bread, decided to
try his piety and patience even as the
devil tried job. They were getting
discouraged in their attempt. He
yielded to every demand. To this
last one he offered arbitration, and
they walked out in triumph at last.
He has provided for his employees free
baths, free coffee. free reading rooms
and library. free recreation of vari-
Gus kinds and, last great boon to the
women, a free laundry. The Ameri-

GREELEY'S HOWL.

Yesterdays Denver Republican
contained long drawn out wall
from the Greeley hose team which
was defeated here on the 9th inst.
by the Florence team.
While it might be true that the
visitors were not accorded every
courtesy by the local people in the
excitement of the celebration, the
burden of their grievance seems to
be that they were not treated fair
ly in the race, which must be en-
phatically denied.
La the first place the Greeleyites
claim that the water pressure was
reduced on them from 81 to 63
pounds. Now anyone at all ac-
quainted with our water system
knows this would be an absolute
impossibility. 1t is impossible to
put on pressure of 81 pounds.
The pressure always stands at from
90 to 10, unless the automatic
valve is opened at the reservoir
which Immediately raises the pres-
sure to $50 pounds. There can be
no intermediate pressure as the
valve is either tightly closed or
entirely open, and as matter of
fact the valve has never been
opened since it was tested at the
completion of the water works. So
it is apparent that the Greeley
boys who made the kick, were not
acquainted with the subject in
hand
AS far as their being Kindred by
having torpedoes and fire crackers
thrown in their way, that is all
poppy cock, The police force and
special officers guarded the lines,
and kept the track absolutely un-
obstructed.
The facts are simply that Flor
ence beat Greeley fairly, the con-
ditions of both runs being equal.
Greeley has no kick coming, and
it comes with bad grace for the
boys to play the baby act

which were formerly our competi-
tors for the South American trade
Mr.. Converse sees three reasons
why the American locomotive h, s
been introduced into Europe. The
first is that American makers can
guarantee earlier delivery than
European works. The second is
that the American locomotives are
preferred for their type, size, and
detail, The third is that Ameri-
can locomotives are cheaper, being
constructed at smaller cost per
unit of weight, although the wages
paid for labor in America are
higher than those paid in Europe.
These three facts are accounted
for by the characteristics of Amer
lean manufacturers and workmen,
and the extended use of machinery
here
In all the years since America
began building locomotives there
has been but one imported into
this country That was ordered by
the Pennsylvania railroad company
as pattern of a new type and
workmanship.
Thousands shipped abroad
yearly-only one brought here.
That tells the story of American
locomotive development.

THE ArlERlcAN LOCOMOTIVE

In no other particular has the
industrial progress of the United
States been more evident, in the
last sixty years, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, than in the develop
ment of the locomotive.
From a beginning in 1889 that
looked like a small hosting engine
on wheels, weighed about a ton,
and made a speed of about five
miles an hour, the American loco
motive has advanced until today it
is wonder of machinery weigh
ing eighty to 100 tons, and making
scheduled speeds of seventy to
eighty miles an hour
President John H, Converse of
the Baldwin locomotive works
traces in the current issue of Cas-
sier's Magaz'n the growth of the
locomotive in the United States.
He follows its development in size,
weight, cost and speed, and demon
strates that phenomenal improve
saent has been made in all of these.
But the crowning achievement of
American locomotive building, he
believes, lies in our Invasion of
the foreign markets, 1t is that,
he thinks, which shows best how
America has distanced the world.
The foreign trade in locomotives
has been growth of the last forty
years. At first confined to Cuba
and South America, it has extend
ed in the last twenty five years to
the Eastern hemisphere as well.
In the last ten years, in particular,
American locomotives have been
sent to every country in the world
where railroads arc in operation.
And within the last three years
American locomotives have been
supplied to railways in Great
Britain, France and Southern
Germany-the three countries
