MR. CHARLES M. ScHwAB, the mil
lion dollar president Of the billion dol
lar steel trust, who appeared before
the Industrial Commission In Washing
ton on Saturday, declared that every
we'll managed and successful manufac'
turing enterprise had learned by ex-
periencs that the only safe business
course was to pay to labor every cent
labor is worth, but that the owners OF
a mandatory must be allowed to
manage their own business. He did
not believe in labor unions or walk
ing delegates and thought every man
should be independent. Mr.. Schwab
started with the Csrnegies as lsborer
himself and knows whereof he speaks
when he said there are now virtually
no labor unions in the Carnegie works,
aud have not been since the disastrous
days 1892. The wage scale ever since
then has been gradually rising, and
they have not been bothered with
strikes. He had no theories on the
labor question. Continuing his testi'
mony he said: "As you perhaps know,
/ have been q workingman, but II 1
was workingman today In one OF the
mills, would not belong to any labor
organization. Under the union sys.
tenn ell members are reduced to dead
level of equality. and the wage scale
largely is determined by the worth and
capability of the chespest workman,
instead of the most capable and highest
priced. This nsrrows opportunity,
dulls ambition and gives no man q
chance to rise. If was bright, wide.
awake, active. viRilant man, would
uuder the rule Of the labor organiza.
tions be put 10 the same class as the
poorest equipped workman Of the lot"
Now there is food for thought In every
word OF the above. Mr.. Schwab's ex-
perience IL worth volumes of theories.
Certainly every man has right to join
a union il he chooses to do 30, but that
he has the equal right not to do 60
will be accorded him by all right think
ing men.

MONDAY EVENING, MAY Is. 1901


THERE SEEMS always to be some
thing in Alexandria-or at least duilpg
the past four or Eve years--to divioe
the community or keep up strife, ana
during the lull which has lasted no"
nearly a week q strenuous effort is be-
ing made to plunge the city iuto an
other turmoil by endeavoring to make
a mountain out of q mole-hill. We re-
fer to the Insignificant matter OF the
election by the City Council OF Police
Commissioner. Several heretofore
quiet and unpretentious citizens who
have manifested an inclination to fol-
low the even tenor oftheir way far from
the madding crowd have been waylaid
and urged to become candidates for q
position which is calculated not only to
disturb their peace Of mind, but to cause
enemies to spring up 10 every direction
and bad blood which may not be S.
suaged during the lifetime OF any one
now living. The representatives OF TWO
factions are searching for people who
will allow themselves to be placed IN
this arena, while the thoughtless and
lovers OF excitement, many OF whom
would fiddle while Rome Ia burning,
will form the audience whose edifca-
ton would consist In witnessing ad'
ditlonsl embrogllos between the Mayor
and the Police Commissioners. Most
of the gentlemen whose names have
been put forth as candidates for what
should be the least desired position 10
the gift of the people will, OF course
respectfully decline the yoke, and why
any one should desire the place under
the existing order of things passeth un'
derstandipg. The trouble in this city
today, and one which retards Its ad-
vancement considerably, can be traced
directly to broils between Mayors
and Police Commissioners, started over
four years ago, and which have been
made issues by the sympathizers OF both
at every election before the people dur
log those years. We are not prepared
to say who has been right or wrong in
these wrangles probably there could
have been more conservatism on both
sides, bat certainly it lie high time the
issue was buried out of sight and q law
enacted making 1t misdemeanor to
mention 1t again. Mayor Simpson re.
Gently sent a communication to Coun'
Gil recommending reduction In the
police force-not that he wanted the
services of any now in the ranks dis
psnsed with. but that when four re-
signed or died that the vacancies be not
filled. A long.suffering community
would rejoice If the same thing could
be applied to the Police Commissioners.
Few die, and none resigo; but when
their terms expire it is believed a
ssrviceable act would be performed to a
qusrtette of good citizens were no sue
cessors elected.

nown 10 the Virginia Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church. He was
pastor of Court Street church, Lynch
burg, and was fast earning reputation
for extraordinary ability. When the
