ANNUAL RAILWAY pICNICS.
Occasions when Employers and Em-
pIoyes Meet on Equal Footing
Conduce TO Industrial Peace.

The Railway and Engineering Re-
view indorses the views of corre-
spondent ian employee who advo-
Gates an annual meeting or picnic
when officers and men of any large
corporation with their families may
come together upon a pleasant occa-
sion. OF late years, says the pub
LEGATION referred to, the current criti-
cism of Americans by foreigners has
been that the chief end of their ex-
istence seems to be that of money
getting. However severe this criti-
cism may seem to patriotic citizens,
it is all but too apparent that the
welfare of the country suffers much
by the too close application of its
business men to purely business mat
ters. So far as we un lerstand the
spirit of the wage-earners of the
country, the attitude OF the en-
ployers of labor and that of the high
er officials having oversight of the
same is very powerful element in
the regulation of indus trial affairs,
and its influence on the labor status
of the country cannot be ignored.
An official having a wide acquaint-
ance among the employees working
under his direction, with their good
will, is a greater power with laborers
than proposed boards of arbitration
ever will have in the settlement of
labor difficulties. The employe who
never gets the opportunity of meet
ing or of hearing any of the officials
above his immediate superior officer
usually has but little evidence that
the welfare of the employee receives
official consideration. The fever of
business rivalry and the concentra-
ton of numerous interests under q
single management tend toward a
formation of the habit of estimating
employees as machines instead of the
men they are, but such spirit will
never conducc TO highest success in
indus trial operation.

RUssIA's ECONOMIC PLIGHT.
A Glance mt the Labor Field ABROAD
Peculiar Industrial Condition
In the Cars Domain.

In recent review article DIR. Dillon
paints black picture OF Russia's con-
dition, according to the Kansas City
Times.
Her main trouble does not, accord
ing to his statement, consist in the po-
litical unrest that has lately been
manifesting itself in scenes of turbu-
lence Russia is suffering TO a great
extent from industrial stagnation that
has followed a long series of disasters.
Many factories have been closed, on
some not yet completed all construc-
ton work has been stopped, while
many other enterprises have gone into
bankruptcy.
The foreign capital that has been in
vested in Russian undertakings
yields but slight return, and the work.
men find it difficult to obtain sufficient
employment to support their families.
Bank shares have dropped within 12
months from $40 to ia roubles, indus
trial shares from $40 to 247 roubles,
mining and metal shares at least one
half, and even petroleum shares, in
the face of the growing trade with
northern Asia, show a material de-
cline.
There is a financial puzzle about
Russia which people living outside
that country do not seem to under
stand. While almost everyone has
known for long time that Russia was
commercially and financially in bad
way, no one has been able to fathom
why she manages to keep up her vast
undertakings without borrowing
heavily from western Europe.
The cause of the prevailing business
depression, however, can be very cas-
lily comprehended. Until a recent
period in her history Russia was al
most entirely an agricultural country.
OF late years the policy of the govern
ment has been to encourage the peo-
pie to turn their attention more to-
ward manufacturing. 1t invited out
side capital to invest in Russian OPP
portunities and enterprises and began
the task to provide for her population
many of those things which had previ-
ously been bought from outsiders. AS
a result manufactures were stimulat-
ed to much greater degree than was
warranted by industrial conditions.
Russia had no export trade to rely on,
and the overproduction has caused
shutdown in all industries. More
over, the peasants having been largely
drawn from the farms to the towns
have intensified the prevailing hard
ships and privations. Russia is expert
encing crisis similar to, although far
more severe than, the one through
which Germany has been passing for
some time.
This economic condition is largely
due to the sudden change of people
from agriculture to manufacture I'M
der the artificial stimulus of govern
ment aid expressed in bounties and
other forms.

FACTORIES IN SOUTH
Remarkable Activity and Progress
During Past Decade.
Manufacturing Plants a Recent De-
veIopment I'm Southern Industrial
Life-statIstIcs Relating to
Cotton Mills.

The recent meeting of the Manu-
facturers' club, at Charlotte, N. c.,
was the occasion Of several notable
addresses, but the most remarkable
feature of the occasion was the meet
ing itself. Manufacturing in the
south is a thing of recent origin, be-
ing practically the growth of the
past ten years. According to the
indianapolis journal no other sec
tion of the country ever made as
rapid progress in the development of
manufactures, and especially of cot
ton manufactures, as the south has
done during this period. Remarkable
progress has been made in some
other lines of manufacturing, but
especially in cotton. South Carolina
has taken the lead in the new order
of things. In 1894 that state had
90 mills with 629,675 spindles. In
1895, 20 additional companies were
chartered with total capital of
S&,765, 900; in 1896 ~ more were in
corporated, with capital stock or
$1,000, 900; during the year ending
August 81, 1898, there were added
211,532 spindles; in 1899 IL new mills
were chartered with an aggregate
capital of $3.275,OOo, and 16 factories
increased their capital stock by So
10000. Statistics for the year 1900
are not at hand, but IL is known they
show continued progress. 1t is per-
haps literally true, as one of the
speakers at Charlotte said, that "the
center of cotton manufacturing in
the United States has been trans
ferred from Fall River, Mass, to CO.
lumbia, S. c." Other states show al
most equal progress. Take North
Carolina for instance. In 1894, of 406
cotton mills in the entire south,
North Carolina had the largest num-
Der. though not the largest mills. In
1895 she had 156 mills, with 953,45S
spindles; in 1897 she had about 200
factories, in 1898 there were 207, and
in 1899 there were 229 mills with
1,01s,OOO spindles. Last year North
Carolina produced $4,000 bales Of cot
ton, Of which 100000 were used by
mills within the state. Mention is
made here only of cotton manufac-
turing. but there has also been great,
though not equal, progress in other
lines. As n result, the south is now
throbbing with a new life, and for
the first time in her history begins
to realize her possibilities in the
way of material development and
progress. For the first time in her
history she is giving genuine welcome
not only to manufacturing capital
but to the commercial spirit which
dominates all progressive countries.
In no other Tart of the United States
are the people showing as intelligent
recognition of the vast possibilities
of eastern trade and as much anxiety
to secure il as the people are in the
south.
