FRosTBURG, MD, May II, 1901

hOSlbt Nip, MAY II, lJpI
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Knowing that you can be relied upon
to publish all legitimate matter of public
interest and benefit, it has occurred to
me to ask space i'll your truly great paper
for a question to democrats and repub-
licans alike, neutrality-suspicious. the time
is not ripe to get ria of the little picayune
political boss who sits down on the as
pirations of some and dictates who shall
be nominated for or appointed to this or
that office?
For instance, how do the voters who
very lately appealed to the ballot-boX to
rid the town of the dictation of one boss
feel when they see the man who enjoys
the credit of leading to partial success
the movement walk up boldly and tender
the clerkship to other parties: Can we
not rid the town of this kind of boss
ship:
Now that one leader is endorsed and
another assumes that he is in the saddle,
let us look back Il few years and note how
lovingly they then got along together.
When the present boss came to Frost
burg OK Mayor Nickel was II county
commissioner and had the appointment
of IA tax collector. Who, then, did our
lately dethroned leader induce Mr.. Nickel
to make tax collector: None other than
our new found dictator.
Now. republicans, if there must he il
fight among bosses for ascendancy, lei II
BE- dmODg Themselves! Let us of the rank
and file hold alOof and once more nOmi-
nate by our own majority vote those
whom we declare are fit to hold our of
fees. Let us drop them and their
Suuabbles and see how quickly they can
also get together when we take the Oat-
trough away.
will not mention specially the third
would-be boss because the party eX-
pressed forcily enough its own opinion
of two of his particular friends at the
last republican primary, when they were
placed before the voters and slaughtered
for some fault not their own. For when
we look back two years and call to mind
the large vote each polled and the gen
erous expressions of confidence repOSCd
i'll them, we cannot avoid the regret that
they allowed themselves to be miSuSed
and miscarricd against their friends, and
that the punishment, inevitable IN all
such eases, fell on them instead of the
mis-called boss.
Republicans, let me again appeal to
you-let us take the reinS of the party i'll
our own hands. Let majOrities, not
bosses, decide who shall be our standard
bearers, and, my word for it, the word,
faction" will never again he heard of
i'll our councils. A REPUBLICAN.

mony and unity are necessaries of life.

away from his legitimate profession of
father of liars to engage i'll the news

The famous shrine of St. Ann

THE famous shrine of St. Anne,
near Kankakee, was yesterday the
mecca of thousands of Catholic pill
grims from many parts of northern
being the 18th annual pilgrimage in
celebration of st. Anne's day. The
shrine is located in the French Catho-
lie church in the village of st. Anne,
about II miles from Kankakee. The
church and shrine were built in 1872.
The shrine, which contains a relic in
a bone supposed to have been taken
from the hand of the saint, and which
was obtained eight years ago at Rome
by M. Marquis, is the most noted of
its character in the United States.

for disputants except by permission
Of both sides.
BY making the judge Of the supreme
court arbitration judge, the colony
gives guarantee to the disputants
that the casting vote and the conduct
of the investigation shall be in the
hands of the best that the colony can
give of experience. ability, dignity
and disinterestedness. Every precau-
tion is taken that the Investigations
be cheap, expeditions and untechni-
cal. The tribunals are charged 10
make their decisions in accordance
with the common sense and equity OF
the case, and not to frame their
awards in a technical manner. Mean
while industry goes on. Neither en-
ploye nor employer is allowed to
stop the work of The proceedings. nor
to do so in order 20 evade an award.
The employer can not get out of a
dispute with his men by discharging
them and putting on women. The
men laid of can go before the arbi-
tration court and get redress any
time within six weeks.
In South Australia employers can
be brought in only if they have regis
tered, but in New Zealand the en-
ployer cannot thas escape the court.
Since the law went into effect in 1896
some fifty cases have been tried. 80 of
which have reached the high court.
The court insists that wherever posi-
BILE trades unionists be given the pref
erence in employment in matter of
public interest. When work is slack
it is divided among all men. Prefer
eDce is shown to resident workmen.
Many reasons are set forth for IA
voring union men, an important one
being that it was a proper compensa-
ZION TO them for the deprivation by
the arbitration law of the right to
strike Preference" must WORK both
ways. The court calls upon the
union TO give a preference in the sup
ply of labor to employers organized
under the law, and insists that all
competent men be allowed to Join
unions. The law has so well estab-
lished itself in New Zealand that
nearly double the mum Der of men are
now registered under it than were
soon after it went into force. New
Zealand statistics prove that the ex-
ports of the country have increased
and that employers can now make
contracts depending upon the award
given out by the board.
The experience of the past five
years with compulsory arbitration in
New Zealand pretty well demonstrates
that honesty, publicity and determin-
alton on the part of the people is all

costly and unsatisfactory labor strike.

PIERPoNT MORGAN as A COERCION.
IST

Chicago American.
MIR. Morgsn's representatives have
q sudden horror of forcing men to act
against their will.
But how glibly and proudly Mr..
Morgan told the financial world of
his success in coercing John w
Gates.
Gates owned or controlled mills
that the steel trust wanted.
This is what Morgan said to Gates:
I'VE want your stock, and we mean
to have it. We shall pay you so much
for it. and no more.
You will sell out to US. and YOU
will sell out now. This is your last
chance to come in before we drive you
out of business.
Can you be n director in the
trust? No, you cannot.
"All that you can do is TO give up
your property to US at price that !
shall fix, and you may consider your
self lucky to get as much as l am
willing to give"
That is the way Morgan treats a
mau. That is how be exercises coer-
cion.
And he processes horror because
workingmen in self defense try TO get
other men TO Join their unions.
Great financial prosperity must
have deprived Morgan of his original
sense of humor-else he would laugh
at himself.

EFFECT OF COMPULSORY ARBITRA-
TION.

The operation of compulsory arbi-
tration in New Zealand, 1.-The country
without strikes is interesting Just
now. The plan in effect there. ac-
cording to Henry Demorest Lloyd, is
most satisfactory to all concerned.
Both capital aud labor form organi-
cations and are considered only in
organized form under the law. Only
workingmen who organize and reg
lister under it are subject to its COM
mands, and the act can not be in
voked by or against any workingmen
who are not organized into a trades
union. Sc that the arbitration is
really voluntary. There is a board
of Cancellation in each of the six dis
tricts into which New Zealand is
divided, and before these boards first
disputes are tried. II settlement is
not achieved before the Cancellation
board the case goes up to the board of
arbitration, which sets for the whole
colony. On both the board of concil
iation and court of arbitration en-
ployers and employees are represented
equally by men of their own choice,
the president of the high court being
the supreme court judge of the colony.
This procedure guarantees that
throughout the entire investigation
both sides shall be represented by
men of their own class, familiar with
all the circumstances of their calling.
