shorter hour problem is one that offers the
first opportunity to he:laborer to better
gradually reduce the hours Of labor until
the eight-hour day has been secured I,
Lewis Nixon, president OF the ship
building company, said he objected to the
distinctions made at the meeting between
the employers and workers. He wished it
known, that the employers also were
workers. In America, he said, the en-
ployer works with the ernploye instead of
over him. When the men come to the
employer and say to him that they want
more pay there is occasion for each side
to consider the situate Of the other.
They should get together. The employer
has his problems to solve and the work
man should be willing to consider these,

Mr.. UNDERW00D'S VIEWS
How to Make Success of Arbitra-
- HOMEWORK of the Civic
go Federation. J. = -

New York, Dec. 10.-The third ses-
sion of the annual meeting of the Indus
trial Department of the National Civic
Federation opened to-day as on each of
the two previous days with the hall
crowded to its capacity. The general
topic for discussion was Industrial
Agreements" but the subject was not
taken up until papers and speeches that
were crowded out of yesterdays pro-
gram. had been presented. p,
Owing to the late arrival Of Senator
Hanna the committee was called to or
der with Archbishop Ireland occupying
the chair.
Secretary Ralph M Easley read paper
by Frederick D. Underwood, president Of
the Erie railroad, who had expected to be
present, but was unavoidably detained.
On the question of arbitration Mr.. I'M
derwood said to make it success dis
interested arbitrator must be chosen by
parties to the dispute. It was also nee
essary to eradicate from the minds of the
workingman the idea that his employer
wishes to take petty advantage of him.
Secretary Easley also read part of a
circular he had sent to a large number
Of manufacturers asking them:
do you regard it a practical PROPOSE
ton to gradually reduce hours by volun-
tary, uniform agreement throughout a
given industry, provided the employees
agree to abandon any arbitrary restric-
lions upon output"
To the question go replies were re-
ceived, 671 of them being in the affirma-
tive. =. e..
Marcus M. Marks, president of the Ma
tional Association Of Clothing. Manufac
turers, followed, taking the position that
the short hour day is necessary not only
for the employees but for the employers.

A NEW SCHEME
For the Organization of Separate
School Districts.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept, 20.-Superintendent Of
Education Whitfield has launched an
original plan for the improvement of the
public school system in communities
where the population is not sufficiently
large to organize separate school dis
tricts, as authorized by the laws of the
state, and is now sending out to the
boards of trustees in these communities
a form Of charter and set of bylaws to
be adopted. The charters will be re-
tarned to the governor in few weeks
for approval, and by this method the
public schools in villages and hsmlets
Will doubtless be greatly improved and
the school terms heightened by special
levy.

TO-DAY at Washington was uu-
yelled the monument erected to the
memory Of Count Rochambeau, the
distinguished French commander
who aided this country in the last
two years OF the Revolution. This
is perhaps a rather tardy recOgni-
ton OF the valuable services which
this great aud noble Frenchman
rendered the struggling founders
of the republic. Still, il is as we'll
perhaps that it happens now, 10
remind our people, IN the present
stage OF our country's develop
meut, that we owe SO much 10 the
French. Republics are said to be
proverbially ungrateful, but per
haps they are not so much migrate
ful as forgetful. Aud now that our
memory of the nations debt to
France u revived, we shall feel a
due sense of gratitude TO our an-
cient ally. IL will doubtless help to
impress us with the real extent of
our obligation to France. If we
should remind ourselves occasion
ally OF the fact that, in the army
which besieged Yorktown, and to
which the British commander, Lord
CORVALLIS, surrendered, there were
more French than American SOL
diers, the Freuch numbering seven
thousand, and the Continental
forces five thousand FIVE hundred.
II was when the American cause
was gloomy and doubtful that
Rochambeau appeared upon the
scene, sent at the urgent request of
the valiant Lafayette, with seven
ships aud six thousand more French
troops, to revive our hopes and
help us win the final victory.
