oNE MAY To TREAT LAgoR.

Last week Texas corporations furnished
two notable instances OF llberality--or per-
haps ONE should say fairness to labor.
They we're The street car companies Of Gal
weston and Dallas, Who voluntarily raised
the wages of the men > cents an hour II
is not reported that there was any dissat.
isfactiou Of ciamorous kind, hence we
must infer that The companies wisely fore
stalled demands or upon their own motion
undertook to better the conditions OF their
men.
In the Galveston case the increase was
the third by the present owners, represent.
ed by Major K. b. Baer who as receiver
under thc Federal court and as general
manager for the boudholdiug purchasers,
has reconstructed the system alike from
financial disorder and storm wreckage IN
til 1t is one OF the bcsr in the South. At
the same Time he has three times increased
wages. 1t is not to be supposed that he Is
doing this at a loss TO the company. 1t
lDilSf be TIM, he recognizes the moral right
% the cmploye to share IN the prosperity
of The employer and he has made COM
muuity OF interest between them, with the
happy effect Of securing contcnted aud SUI
perior service.
II all employers were guided by the same
principle of fairness and good business
Judgment there would be no occasion for
unions except as social and benevolent or
ganizations, nor would the world be besct
with strife and riot as labor seeks to bet
ter its conditions in the face OF stubborn
greed.
1t is coming to this condition sooner or
later bound TO come, because 1t is based
n etcgnal right which must prevail sooner
or latcr-and capitalists should be the first
to recognize it. Capital possesses no right
60 which there is not corresponding right

financial gain or social well-belng Pro
