The bulletin issued by the New York
Bureau of Labor cites as a device to
enforce the accountability Of parties to
labor disputes a case in Brooklyn in
which the acceptance of an arbitration
decree has been guaranteed by the de-
post of a forfeit of $4,000 by each
side to the controversy. The employers,
who happen to be a large shoe manufac-
turing concern, put up their money in
the shape of a bond, while the employees
have raised a fund by a weekly 3 per
cent assessment, loaned to the firm at 6
per cent interest. The objection to
treating with unincorporated labor
unions on the ground of their irrespon-
sibility and the objections of the labor
unions to Incorporation on the score of
legal complications are thus both
avoided, while the strengthening char
acter to the trades union of an interest
in the suspended guarantee fund is read
lily discernible. Whether this safety
valve can be attached to arbitration Of
disputes in the larger labor field will
have to await experiment

Marvellous Strides in American Manu-

The latest census bulletin relates ia
manufactures in all the states and terri
tories. 1t is a truly remarkable document.
Since 1850 the population OF the United
States has increased two and one-quarter
fold. In the same time the capital In
vested in manufactures has increased nine
teen fold and the value OF manufacturer
products thirteen fold.
There are now FIVE and one-half times
as many wage-earners as in 1850, and the
amount paid In wages is ten times as
great. The value Of products per wage
Garner has increased from 81, 065 in 1850
to S2.451 In 1900.
The gross value Of products OF all manu-
featuring and mechanical industries in 1900
was $13, O40, ola, $685., an increase of 50, $751;
SIC, 1856, or 80 per cent, over the product
reported in 1890. There were in 1900 SIP, 1925
manufacturing establishments, with a capt.
tai OF $9,S74.664,0s employing 397, $50 sal.
AIRED officers and CLERKS, and 1921, 0S7 wage
earners, or workmen. There was paid out
in salaries and wages $3.50, 273, O21. OF
the wage-earners. APO, us were men and
1881, 747 women.
In 1850 there were only 12S.O25 manu-
featuring establishments, with a total capt.
tai VI S0oo'E4o,Sol' anu tne Nalue OF the
entire product amounted to 81, 019, LOG, SIG.
In the decade ending with 1900 the num-
Der of manufacturing establishments in
creased from 355, 415 to 512, 1926. In this in
crease Illinois made as notable a record
as any state of the union, the number of
manufacturing establishments increasing
from 20,4S2 to 1880, and the capital in
vested from $500. 0O0, 900 to S776, 1929, 900.
As the value of materials used In manu-
features in 1900 was 1854, III, 22S, the net
value Of products was 81 1888, 400, O55. This
represents the intrinsic addition to the
wealth OF the country from the manufacture
ing operations OF the census year.

GREATEST wEALTH-LOwEsT DEBT
Notable Distinction of the United
States Among World Powers.
Minneapolis Times.

Minneapolis Times.
When the great civil war to disrupt the
union closed in 1865 the debt of the United
States-that is the debt for which the
states that did not secede were liable
amounted to s7s,25 per capita of the total
population. BY 1901 the debt had been
reduced to 319.45 and. while the interest
charge in 1865 was S4.29 per capita, in 1901
1t was only % cents.
In 1901 about half our outstanding bonds
bore only 2 per cent interest and these
were quoted at 100, whereas, in 1855, the
lowest rate Of interest was $40. and this
upon a small fraction, a large part being Us
and even higher.
The London Daily Mail has issued its
Year Book for 1902 and in It places the
United States at the head Of the five great
powers in point OF wealth, while In the
amount Of indebtedness this country is at
the foot OF the list. The following table
will show the wealth and the Indebtedness
as figured out by our London contem-
norarv.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-04-06

The table OF percentages is even more
interesting. The Indebtedness OF France is
about - per cent Of its wealth, OF Russia
about IL per cent. OF Germany s per cent,
of the United Kingdom 6 per cent and of
the United States less than IA per cent.
In tangible wealth-that is, money in
cireulation-the United States on February
1 had a tribe less than 81, 26O. 900. 900, this
being an increase Of about s6s. OOO. 900 in a
single year and raising the circulation per
capita to S2s II. the highest ever recorded
in the history Of this country.
These figures need bring no bushes to
the cheek Of any American unless, indeed,
the bushes should be those OF modesty.

River Sand Company struck yesterday
afternoon and it is said those employed by
Brown Brothers will go out to-day. The
union demands a minimum wage scale of
1915 a day. The White River Sand Com
pany pays by the load and the teamsters
say they cannot make a days union wages
without Overdriving their teams or working
late A similar complaint is made against
Brown Brothers. These firms furnish sand
for the new Claypool Hotel and prolonged
strike will seriously retard the progress of
that building.
