The Mochanic'a Lien Law.

The Supreme Court upheld the con-
stitutionality of the law authorizing
the Judgment on foreclosure of a me-
chanic's lien to include fee for the
plaintiffs attorney, says the Indianap-
oils News. The law was attacked in
the case of Joseph Duckwall VS.. Jacob
X. Jones, which was an appeal from
the foreclosure Of such a lien on a
house in Muncie. There was balance
OF S. due the plaintiff, and after suit
was brought that sum was rendered to
him and paid into court. But the court
decided that he mutt also pay an at
torney fee Of SIS, and gave Judgment
for $50 and a decree foreclosing the
lien. The objection urged to the stat
ute was that it Is in the nature of class
legislation, giving an undue advantage
to laborers and material men, and that
It authorizes the taking of private
property to pay the plaintiffs attorney
without compensation or due process
Of law. The Supreme Court said that.
as all citizens having litigation of the
character indicated have equal rights
to recover attorney fees. the first OBJ
lection is not tenable. II said that the
legislature may prescribe rules permit
ting recovery of double damages or
attorney fees in one class of cases, and
deny it in others without creating the
inequality forbidden by the constitu-
ton.

SeIYant Problem In Arizona.

The servant girl problem has reach
ed Arizona, and a novel attempt will
be made to solve it, says a Phoenix,
Ariz., dispatch. In years past there
was no need of servant girls in Ari
iona. In the earlier. rougher life in
the territory Chinese cooks composed
the servant class. Chambermaids were
an unnecessary luxury and housekeep-
ers who make any pretense at the art
of homemaking were few. OF late years
Arizona has acquired civilization and
has need for the housemaid. In the
larger cities of the territory there are
many people who make an effort to
keep up establishments equal to the
metropolitan houses. To a certain eX-
tent Chinese are useful about the
house, but there are strict limitations
to their capacity The Chinaman is
clever in the kitchen, but he does not
do well in the dining room or at the
door. In fact there are hosts of little
things which no one but housemaid
can do properly In consequence there
is heavy demand for house girls. 1t
is virtually an impossibility to secure
good servant girl, even though the
wages are twice as high as in the east
So great has been the demand for SER
wants that the employment agencies
have taken steps to import a large
number, and to that end an agent will
go to New York, Chicago and st. Louis
and try to gather several hundred SER
wants for shipment to Arizona. The
women can earn from S25 to $40 a
month, or about twice the wages of
ordinary housemaids in the East A
special train will be chartered and
the women sent to Phoenix from where
they will be distributed over the terri
tory.

ton with certain great industries In
acknowledgment of the employees
moral right to something more than
wages. 1t has been impossible to give
more than an outline of what is being
done in typical industries, but it is the
firm belief of the writer that there Is a
genuine desire on the part of many
others to do something for their peo-
pie, If they can be shown the first step.
10 large class of employers there is
always the question, will it pay? By
way of an answer to this doubt / quote
the words Of an English captain of in
dustry, who had invested e25c 600 in
cottages, schools. club buildings. small
parks, gardens and recreation grounds
in his industrial village near Liverpool.
Whatever | have done l planned not
on the basis of charity or philanthropy,
but on the principle that what they
received was their rightful share, and
when they were in the works they
made full and ample return. | have
concluded that must share the pros
perity of my business with those who
have helped me TO make It, It was not
a question of profit-sharing, for If the
flow of checks ceases there is always
dissatisfaction and ill-feeling. | think,
therefore, that the best thing | can do
is to provide decent houses for the
workmen, because it is to my decision
that those who have helped in the
prosperity of my business shall feel
some of that prosperity in their lives.
In the schools, houses, recreation
grounds. quarter of million sterling
has been spent for which there is no
direct return. | am convinced that.
although there is no direct return this
money could not have been invested in
any better way, for indirectly it has
been one Of the greatest features in the
success of our business. I do not pose
as philanthropist, but have attempt
ed to do what is right and have en-
deavored to do it in the best way.
Sympathy between employer and en-
plOye is the broadcast foundation on
which each side can take a dignified
stand. | desire, therefore, to put on
record my appreciation Of the way our
workers have lived up to their part in
the success of Port Sunlight"

The Proilt-Sharing Plan.

We have heretofore referred to plans
in progress tending to bring capital and
labor into more harmonious relations,
says the Atlanta Constitution. The
necessity for a platform to meet the
changed conditions was set forth.
In regard to one of these plans, that
of profit-sharing, the latest bulletin of
the department of labor gives some
interesting facts. There are two such
enterprises at Cincinnati, one near st.
Louis, the fourth at Syracuse and the
fifth at Philadelphia. The bulletin goes
concerns pays employees who have
been in its service three months or
more dividend on their wages equal
60 that declared on the company's COM
mon stock. A workman who receives
$500 year would be paid the same
amount which a holder of $500 worth
of common stock would receive. The
system has been in operation for ten
years and the dividends have ranged
from ~ to 20 per cent. The other firm
adopted the plan only year and
half ago. The Syracuse corporation
thirteen years ago began including the
heads Of departments in "participa-
ton" plan. In 1890 it extended the list
to include foremen and assistant fore
men. In their communication to the
department of labor the proprietors
say: "The object was to so interest
each one in the success of the works
SO as to induce suggestions for i'm
provement and little economies and the
careful consumption of supplies and
materials. The plan has worked adj
mirably in the desired direction" The
company in Philadelphia has tried
investing per cent additional on the
workmen's wages in various depart
ments of the factory. This plan
has proved beneficial to the work
men and to the factory itself" and it
will probably be extended. But by
far the most satisfactory report Is as
to the st. Louis venture. the bulletin
saying: "The most thorough going
trisl of proft-sharing has been made
in the neighborhood of st. Louis. A
concern there, which employs between
400 and 500 people, adopted scheme
in 1886 in pursuance of which, without
making any changes in management or
wages, interest was allowed on the
company's capital at 6 per cent and the
remaining profits were divided between
capital and labor, twice as much going
to labor as to capital A deduction
vas first made for reserve, providant
ard educational funds. The reserve
was intended to meet tie losses of bad
years and to eqIaliz, dividends when
profits were small. Ali dividends are
paid in stock, which is redeemed at
par whenever the holder leaves the
service of the company. Six years ago
a rule was adopted restricting the pay
ment of dividends to those employs
who saved 10 per cent of their wages
The management of the concern de-
clares that under the plan there have
been no labor troubles and the brs'ness
has been prosperous and proftabla "
The conclusion seems to he justified
that for we'll established business en-
terprises the proit-sharing plan bri7g7
about unity of interest between capitel f!
and labor. In fact, it regards labor
as so much capital and encourages the
operatives so to regard 1t.

On the Night Patrol,

A clang, and a cling, and trample of
feet.
Shod with iron and eager to meet
The bracing air of the midnights call
And the police patrol is off to the fight.
They are two bays that whirl through
the street,
Straining the tugs with gal!oping feet,
With hey! and a gee-up! and clash
ing gong
AS the night patrol is hurried along.
Maybe the fight of drunken gang
Awaits to welcome the bellish clang
That bounds through the night is
avenging lay
And echoes its story far away.
Maybe the fight of struggling soul,
Ebbing to Death and LIES last goal,
Despair or hunger the suicides toll
Afraid of life's battle array.
Or a CHASTITY form in darksome place,
Silent and still, with colorless face
1nsensble to the galloping pace
OF the horses travelling fast,
Or a thief or a thug with bloody
knife,
Caught in his act or it's murderous
strife.
Is bundled into the wagon at last
And the drama begun, the first scene
past.
The night patrol on its hOmeWard way
Feeds its rumble to coming day.
Not now do the horses with plunging
feet
Dash madly along the deserted street,
Or the feverish slash Of the murderer's
strike;
And past is the glamor of liquors
light
Forever gone is the suicides might
That carried soul away.
