HOW CAN STRIKES BE PRE-
VENTED?

The present strained conditions
between the employees and employees
of the strike in Chicago, leads US to
consider the tremendous loss of
money, both in wages to the strikers
and loss Of business to the owners,
to ask again, cannot something be
done to permanently put an end TO
these strikes which spread so much
injury all over the country and
cause loss and some times suffering
to many who have no connection
with laborers or capitalists, but are
dependent upon the class of goods
which they furnish for their living.
1t would, perhaps seem trlhe
peculiar for the Great Republic to
follow the example of far away New
Zealand and New South Wales, but
if their compulsory arbitration law
proves a success it would seem a
wise thing for the United States to
try something similar.
New South Wales goes farther than
New Zealand in some particulars.
As disputes are most frequent over
disagreemcnts as to wages, power is
given the court to determine what in
any line shall be the standard wage.
1t legalizes unions and empowers
the court to direct that employees
give a preference to union over non
union labor, other matters being
equal. This is going the full length
of governmental regulation and is
another long slide in that state
socialism on whose path the Austria
liam colonies have gone so far. 1t
is not probable that this country will
follow them to the full extent to
which they have gone, but it seems
perfectly reasonable, eminently just
and fitting that in the matter OF
quasi public corporations there
should be compulsory arbitration,
because of the primal duty such one
10 the public to give continuous
service and permit no internal
discussions to impair that service.

DEMOCRTIC STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE,

The Democratic State Central
Committee has been called to meet
in the city of New Orleans on Tues
day, July 22nd. At this meeting
there will be four vacancies to fill,
which were caused by death and are:
j. M. Foster of Shreveport, George
e. Preot of New Orleans, Mike Fan
ming of New Orleans, and Remy
Klock of New Orleans.
In addition to filling these vacan-
cies the committee will take up the
reorganization of the committee in
the Third, Seventh and Fourth
Districts, made necessary BY the
organization of the new Seventh
District. There is no doubt that the
committee has been called for the
purpose Of considering all matters
affecting the welfare of tue party,
and we trust that every question that
comes up before the committee will
be analyze fully, Justly and impair
TALLY for the best interests of the
Democratic party of this State.
There is a strong sentiment through
out the State for primaries, and We
believe the committee will be asked
to consider the matter of the calling
of white Democratic primary to be
held in every parish in the State.
We have always been and is still an
advocate of primaries, for We believe
1t is Democratic doctrine and the
only way to get the voice of the
people and elect officers. Nearly
every Southern state has adopted
the primary rule and we believe the
State of Louisiana will follow the
example OF her sister States and
adopt the primary system. Let US
have primaries.

Philippine Cigar Makers to Have Great
ADVANTAGE.

Philippine Cigar Makers to Have Great
Advantage.
Washington, Sept. 1T.-Acting on an
opinion of the department of justice
that cigars from the Philippine islands
are not subject to the internal revenue
tax of So thousand when imported
into the United States, the treasury
department has so Informed collectors
Of customs and will refund several
hundred thousand dollars of taxes all
ready collected.
Cigars imported from foreign coun-
tries pay customs duties Of 1880 q
pound and % per cent ad valorem and
in addition the usual internal revenue
tax of SO a thousand. Under the above
decision the Manila cigar manufacture
er. will derive great advantage inNths
markets Of the United States over Gu
ban and other foreign competitors, for
he will not only be relieved of paying
the internal revenue tax, but will re-
ceive the benefit of the 25 per cent re-
duction in customs duties accorded by
the Philippines tariff act.
Acting Attorney General Hoyt bases
his opinion on the decision of the SUI
preme court in the -four diamond
rings case" that goods brought from
the Philippines We're not imported
from a foreign country" within the
meaning of the revenue laws, which
would exempt cigars coming from the
islands from internal revenue tax.
