Not only has there been but little

according to the Montreal Star, what

to the influx of Chinese, Japanese,

FINE SHOWING OF BANKS OF ST.
PAUL.
The healthy condition of st. Paul's
finances is demonstrated by the alb
stract issued by the comptroller of the
currency, taken from the returns of
national banks of date April 80.
ST.. Paul occupies an enviable posi-
tion in the matter of increase of bank
deposits, the comparison between 1892
one of the biggest and best business
years the country has even known
and the current year shows an in
crease of 70 per cent in deposits,
1892 being s14,512,518 as against $24,~
$50, 900 for the present year.
One of the phenomenal instances of
individual growth is that of the St.
Paul National bank, which shows a
gain over the year 1892 of 17S per
cent, giving total deposits at the time
OF issuing the latest statement of
$2,425,74S.30. This is by far the best
showing made by any Of the St. Paul
national banks, and is therefore
worthy of especial comment. Among
the other national banks an instance
is shown by each, the smallest being
40 per cent. Altogether St. Paul's |
showing is decidedly creditable and
indicative of an extremely healthy
condition of mercantile affairs |

Uniform Primaries.

Y N VIEW of the demand in this
state for uniform primary cleo
Il ton law, interest attaches to the
experiment just tested In Min
nesota. The legislature of 1901 in that
state passed Il law requiring all NOM
nations for congress and judicial, legis-
lative and county offices to be made on
specified day, not less than seven
weeks before election, all parties to vote
under the supervision of the regular
election officers. The modus operandi is
as follows:
When the voter appears at the polls
and demands to vote his register number
is looked for. and If he Is not registered
he cannot vote at this time, but he may
register for the next primary. If he is
registered he receives an Australian bal
lot of the party in which he is registered.
If he refuses this ballot, announcing
that he, has changed his politics, he Is
not allowed to vote at this primary, but
may te-registcr himself for the next pri-
marys If the voter at the primary Is
challenged he may vote by taking the
oath fhat he voted that party ticket at
the last general election, The primary
tickets are made out and printed by the
county auditor The regular canvassing
board canyasses and announces the re-
suit The candidate receiving the high
est number of votes in the municipality
or county or district Is declared the
nominee The candidates announce
themselves by a petition of n certain
percentage of the voters of the party.

I'm Object Lesson
from Paterson

IN ITS annual review of the silk in
dustiy in America, the Silk associa-
tion, through its secretary, Franklin
Allen, devotcs Il good deal of space
to consideration of the recent labor
troubles in the silk mills of Paterson
and of Hudson county, n. j.
In the strike in Paterson, which began
in April last, silk dyers and helpers, who
were under contract for il year at an
advance in wages, threw this contract
to the winds and quit work. They not
only would not work themselves, but
they made trouble at other shops and
forbade Others going to work in the
places they had voluntarily left.
When this strike began, according to
the Silk association, dyers helpers and
luborers who worked In the day shifts
were receiving 81 week and night
workers were receiving $40. A fair esti-
mate of the number of men out on strike
Is 1900. Allowing for additional wages
paid TO skilled workmen, the weekly
payroll averaged sll per man per week.
The strike lasted twelve weeks, thus en-
failing direct loss i'm wages to the
dyers and helpers of $52S,COO. The em-
ployers offered compromise of 81
week in wages. BY not accepting this,
the men lost an additional $iSO00 making
a total loss of s576,000. In Hudson coun-
ty there was a loss of $4,000 through the
dyers' strike in Paterson, and of S2l0,0S0
through the weavers strike i'm Hudson
county itself-a total loss for Hudson
county of S3O3, 900, or grand total loss
of $4,000 TO the strikers of Paterson and
of Hudson county.
This was a direct loss to the employees
because when they finally did return to
work after three months idleness, 1t was
at the old wages of ~ u week. which
they We're receiving at the time the
strike began. Concerning the collateral
effects of the strike, the review of the
SILK association says: 1.-The silk dyelng
business of Paterson was ruined for
twelve weeks. Aside from the direct loss
to the employees and employers, the silk
trade of the country was materially in
terfered with. When skein silk cannot
be dyed many classes of silk goods can
not be made. Usually, manufacturers
do not carry stock of sken-dyed silk
sufficient for more than four or six
weeks supply. At the end of the strike
the market was bare of taffeta silk. The
scarcity affected the retail trade. The
curtailed output of skein-dyed silk In
Paterson amounted to at least l,0OO,cOO
pounds of raw silk. resulting in cur
tailed production of s9.0Oo,oO0 in finished
goods.

Thus far public opinion has been
largely directed toward getting the
operators to yield. This line of effort
having failed and the need of coal being
increasingly felt as winter approaches,
it would not be strange if the public
should begin to try a new tack-that Of
trying to induce the mine workers to
give in. A good many persons have ap-
peared to lose sight Of the fact that the
strike was begun by the mine workers
and not by the operators; that it was
not a lockout but a walk-out. The
advance of two years ago had not been
cancelled by the operators. 1t was in
full force when the men struck. They
had been willing to work under its
terms for nearly two years, during
which time the public made no demands
upon the operators to take additional
action. If conditions were tolerable for
two years could they not, in a pinch,
be endured longer? is a question being
asked. When the public realizes this
and is driven by it's own needs to more
radical action, it is quite as>likely to
visit its dispeasure on Mitchells side
Of the controversy as on Baer's.
