Plan to Produce strikes.


President Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America has return
ed to indianapolis from the meeting
Of the executive committee of the
National Civic Federation at New
York.
The executive committee was ap-
pointed to consider ways and means
OF bringing labor and capital into
closer relationship. The committee
adopted a constitution and bylaws,
and hereafter will meet once a year,
unless called together by an emer-
gency.
President Mitchell firmly believes
that the object for which the commit
tee was appointed will he achieved and
points to the settling of the big strike
of garment workers in New York re-
Gently, in which over 10000 persons
were out, as one of the substantial re-
suits already attained. He says the
plan will not avert all strikes, but it
will reduce them materially and mini
mize the possibility of long drawn out
struggles in which vast sums of money
are lost both to the employers ard
their men. Arbitration will not be
attempted unless both sides agree to
abide by the verdict.

Skill Always Counts.

A Chicago builder, who was not long
since a mechanic, but is now a pros
porous boss" and speculator, said
the other day that an ordinary carpen-
ter needs. nowadays, only a hammer
and Il saw, and with these weapons"
he is fully equipped to undertake any
common piece of carpentry.
This is hardly fair statement, but
it is quite true that with the introduce
tion of woodworking machinery, with
ready-made sashes and blinds and
doors and holdings and general fin
ishings, there is scarcely such an in
dividual now as the journeyman car
penter, or the joiner, in contradistinc-
tion to the apprentice.
Skill counts still, as it did in the
old days of the trade, and as it always
must, but the lad who signs articles
for an apprenticeship covering a period
of years is certainly not an Ameri
can.
