KEEPING FAITH.

The Western members Of the Amalgamated
Association have done a notable service to labor.
In spite Of the ties of organization. and prob
ably in spite OF their own sympathies, they
have kept faith with their employers. They
have not been deceived by the subterfuge that
contract WAS not binding when the necessities
OF organized labor in general called for its re-
pudiatiOn. Therefore, although their organiza-
tion is elsewhere on strike and they have ex-
pressed willingness 10 give the Eastern men
financial aid, they insist that having signed the
union scale with their employers, they will not
give those employers the opportunity of saying
that the word of labor union is not good for
anything
This virtue Of keeping a promise might be
thought so much matter of course as to call
for no comment and deserve no special credit
The Heather Chinee" when he makes a verbal
contract will live up 10 ii though conditions
change and he is ruined. and the American
workman ought not to have a lower moral
standard. Unfortunately however such virtue
is moi common, and the Western steel workers
should be specially thanked, and not least of
all by their fellow labor unionists. though at
the present moment it is 10 he feared passions
are too high 10 permit fair judgment Of them
IN that quarter. The coal miners and the rapid
transit employees in this city in their recent
strikes did much 10 rob labor unions of reputa-
non for trustworThiness. After making solemn
agreements for arbitration such as they have
long sought from employers, they capriciously
repudiated their obligations and treated the en-
ployers as badly as if they had been persistent
Rnti-uDionists entitled 10 no consideration If
labor unions were 10 have any standing i'm the
community rs institutions with which busi-
ness concern could have any dealings it was
tine that uniOnists like the Chicago members
OF the Amalgamated Association should show
themselves trustworthy. No manufacturer who

IL an agreement with trade union is 10 be
purely onesided, the employer instead of vel

single bridge has been finished up to the
present time Over the Harlem there are now
no fewer than seven. built and paid for by the
city and three which were constructed by rail-
road companies. 1t is not unlikely that before
many years have passed the city wilt build
still another over the Harlem from the end of
Fifth-ave The "Huckleberry'' and Metropol-
itan systems of street railroads ought to make
connections over the river with bridge of
their own and not seek TO encroach upon
Central Bridge. Some years ago prominent
and influential railroad president said that New
York would be the gamer were the Harlem to
be filled up entirely. His rather startling sug-
gestlon brought out no response of public ap-
proval. 1t is extremely improbable that our
people will ever consent to the destruction of so
delightful feature of the Harlem Valley. New
Workers are fond of the river and the valley.
and their enthusiasm for the entire region is on
the increase. The city has been immensely
more liberal in connecting the two banks of the
Harlem with bridges than it has been in span
ming the East River; but the time must come
when bridges and tunnels about Manhattan will
be so numerous and broad as to suffice for the
uses of the millions of people whose homes will
be found within a radius of thirty or forty
miles from our City Hail.

So few murderers suffer the death penalty
in this State that most people will find cause
for satisfaction that Douglass. who killed his
wife in this city, decided to plead guilty Of muir
der in the second degree. and has been sentenced
to imprisonment for life. If he had resisted
stubbornly the efforts OF the prosecution TO
send him 10 the electric chair the chances are
that he would never have suffered capital pun
ishment although there seems TO be no reasona-
BILE doubt that his crime was deliberate. and
that he fully deserves death under our laws.
Every year the difficulties in the way of exacttng
the penalty of a life for life apparently be-
come more formidable.

Mayor and Council of RosedaIe
In Hot War.

Refuses to Meet.

Costly Plant Permitted to Run

Roseda1e, Kan, July zR.-There was
no quorum Of the Rosedale council last
night and consequently no meeting
Ordinarily this would not be an i'm
portant announcement. but in view of
the conditions which exist, there is more
significance in the statement than
might be supposed.
RosedaIe is a town of only about 5000
inhabitants. but there is more politics
to the square inch here than there is 70
the square mile in any other city OF
like size in the state. And it is politics
Of the practical sort. Mayor Smith
heads one faction Of the city govern
ment and Councilman Basher the 9TH
err Each has made charges and coun-
tercharges against the other OF corrup-
ton and while the fight goes on the
interests of the citizens suffer.
For two months none of the city en-
ployes have received = dollar. The
council has passed payroll after payroll
but the mayor has refused to sign
them. Ordinarily the ordinances might
be passed over the mayors veto, but
the mayor has three Of the eight coun-
cilnen with him. It was because the
mayor would not sign the payroll that
the council refused to meet last night.
The three adherents of the mayor were
there, but the other 1--WE eouncilmen re-
The fight dates back two or three
years to the time of the purchase Of
the waterWorlxs. Bonds to the amount
of $4,000 were voted. and after the first
payment had been made on the plant
the remainder of the sum was spent in
extending the mains. It was charged
that all OF these extensions were made
to the property Of the mayor and his
friends. Then the superintendent Of
the plant resigned and it was discover
ed that his books did not balance just
right. He charged that the mayor was
responsible for this. When the mayor
named another superintendent, the
council refused to confirm him and for
several months the plant has been run
ming without any head, except for the
supervision exercised by the street
commissioner, who receives the nnuni-
hcent sum of 81 a day for doing this
work and looking after the streets at
the same time.
1t was in retaliation for this refusal
to confirm this and other appointments
that the mayor held up the payrolls Of
the city and blocked all efforts OF the
majority of the council to transact
city business. But after a time condi-
tons changed and the mayor wanted
some business transacted. The consol-
dated mphis-FTiSco railroad has
bought some land in Rosedale upon
which to erect shops Before their
plans can be carried into effect 1t viii
be necessary to vacate some alleys
which cross the tract. The mayor is
anxious to have these alleys vacated
and it was for this purpose in part that
the meeting was called last night This
gave the mayors enemies a chance to
retaliate. which they did by remaining
away from the council meeting.
Tt is hard TO tell just whose move il
1s now, but the Rosedale public is get
ting very tired of the prolonged wran-
sic.
