Waterbury's little strike has gone further than it ever should. and our
 advice to the workers as we'll as to the
 contractors is to get together at once.
 The business men of Waterbury, the
 men who stand ready with their good money, should be taken into considera- ton in this matter. They are the ones that eventually will lose if the strike
 is continued. From our point of view it seems as though this affair should
 have been settled in less than half an
 hour after it was started. The longer
 "a settlement is delayed the more diff
 cult it will be to adjust matters. Hart. ford has been afflicted with builders strike which has just been settled, but not before lots of money was dropped and considerable trouble occasioned all around In speaking of the settle
 meHf of the strike in that city the Post says: When the conditions of the set tiement are examined it is found that granting an increase in wages and yielding the point they had strenueHsly frefuse1 to yield, the complete unieniz- ing of their ablishEpeiMts after Sep tember |.

 old conditions and do not care. for rea- soBs ef their own, to join the union UndeR the terms of this settlement they
 must yield their preferences or suffer

TEE KANSAS IDEA.

. Kansas has at last solved the prob- rem or what to do with the tramp. The announcement comes at an oDpor- tune time just as efforts are being made to induce the President to ap- point national commission to study the genesis of the hobo and his habits of life. This commission. if appoint ed, will find valuable and interesting material in the wheat fields of Pratt county, Kansas.
 Therefore the ma gazine writers who have been giving Us learned and thoughffuI essays on ssstudies in tramp fifep have taken the ground that the hobo is inherently no1nadic and that his indisposition to labor is so deep seated and fundamental that nothing will overcome it.
