There will be no special form or cere-
mony attending the advent of the new

both historic and sacred, the sons and
daughters of the old Commonwealth
viii rejoice in the bright prospects for
a cleaner and less expensive system Of
government; better business and polit-
ical conditions. and withal a higher and
more enlightened civilization.
Beyond the pleasure that will be Of

because the majority of his men were
going back on him there is no doubt
that the terms will be ratified by the
n.ass-meeting Of the strikers.
BY the terms. the strikers accept the
schedule of wages offered them in July.
This schdule had been emphaticaly re-
fused by the strikers at the time it was
made. 1t offered an average increase OF
tvnty per cent for all classes of labor
connected with the Freight Handlers
Union. The demands Of the men would
have made an average increase Of about
thirty per cent. The railroads at the
time OF offering the increase in July
said that under no circumstances would
they recognize the union of the freight
handlers to the extent of allowing the
officers making terms for the men other
than the officers with whom they were
employed. This was one of the reasons
for the strike.
The railways have won a complete
victory on this point. The attitude of
the roads towards the Freight Handlers
Union is the same as that maintained
toward all organizations of railway men.
The freight handlers demanded some
thing that no other organization OF rail-
way employees in Chicago had asked and
the managers announced that under no
circumstances could they agree to this

STEEL TRusT COMPETITOR.

A Canadian competitor to the United
States Steel corporation is projected.
The Dominion Steel company and the
Nova Scotia Steel company are the
Canadian factors in the combination,
but the most important factor is an
English steel and iron corporation
which has extensive works established
in al the principal English mining
areas. 1t is said that not only win the
nsw combination strike vigorously for
the control OF the steel market OF the
world. but for the production Of manu-
featured steel products cheaper than
ever before.
A Montreal dispatch states that the
formation Of this combination has been
under consideration for some little time.

to combine with those Of Canada by the
fact that steel In the comparatively I'M

ton as this would be the most effective
way Of re-establlshing the industrial
equilibrium which has been considerably

Reports from Washington state that
much interest Is being taken In official
circles in the proposed Cuban loan and
the question whether such q loan would
be in violation Of the Plat amendment
Is receiving consideration There is talk
that this government will have to stop
the issue Of the loan. or require q ma
terial reduction Of the amount, If it shall
be found that Cuba's are not
sufficient to pay the running expenses Of
the government, meet interest on the
proposed loan and make the sinking
fund provision which the Plat amend
ment requires In a 8 of every Cuban
loan.
Statements already are to the effect
that the revenues are not sufficient to
pay the running expenses Of the Cuban
government and It Is not believed that
they can be materially increased. The
increase In customs duties viii probably
make no material addition to the re-
ceipts from this source. since enhanced
prices win reduce importations. The
country can hardly bear any increase
in internal taxation. certainly not such
an increase as win be necessary to meet
the interest and provide a sinking fund
FOR the proposed loan. What IL the
Uaited States goyernment should object
to the loanf 1t is apprehended that
this would be resented by the Cuban
government. which might result In s
serious misunderstanding between the
two countries. There is perhaps no
great danger Of this. because If this gov
eminent thinks the loan too large the
Cuban congress can doubtless be per-
suaded to reduce the amount. The mat
ter. however. shows how the relations
between the two governments may
prove prolific OF difficulties.

IN these days Of unparalleled prosperity
ana strikes It is q soothing reflection that
the majority Of American worker. never
have gone on strike and probably never will.
A survey Of the national workshop, 50 to
speak. dtsclosas the fact that, includipr
men,. women and minors, nearly 81. 000. 600
persons are daily at work In ft-less The
number Of those temporarily on strike. OF
this grand total $1,000, 900 only, considerably
less than ono-half. are employed In the in
dustrieB that are subject to strikes and
lockouts.
Here then is the gratifying fact that IT,.
100000 workers in these United States AL
ways keep working. Included In this great
standing army OF Industrious people who
never quit their jobs are the farmers and
their help. about 5000. 600 strong. The peo-
pie At work on American farms, Comprising
nearly one-haif Of the adult labor OF the
country. have never gone OF strike; the idea
mas never even been mooted among them.
BESIDES our farmers there are over 1,000,-
600 workers, actors. authors. artists. clergy
men, lawyers and doctors. none Of whom
ever strike. Then there are about 400, 900
teachers In the country. tw0-thirds Of them
women, who work year in and year out IN
strikeless continuity. Next come our do
nestle and personal and public servants,
about 100000 Of them. including our sol
diers and sailors; they also belong 20 the
nonstriking majority.

grand total Of 15.0o0.0 900 persons. that
