HIGHEST PAID LABOR CHEAPEST

A few evenings ago lady at one of
the summer hotels in the Catskills told
me long tale Of woe about the suffer-
ings she had endured with her var
ious servant girls, says Herbert N. Cas-
son in Boyce's Weekly. One after an
other she had been obliged to dis
charge them, she said, for slovenliness,
dishonesty impudence, carelessness or
general Incompetence.
Il have tried several different ma
tionalities," she said, hopelessly, land
they are all alike. I have read everv-
thing in the magazines on how to
manage servants, but every theory
seems to crurnble to pieces when I try
1t. / am sure cannot see any possi-
BILE method Of solving the servant
problem"
MAY I ask what wages you pay?''
inquired.
Three dollars week, and of course
she has the same board as we do. and
a nice room,'' replied the lady with a
little embarrassment.
THAT would be about equal to seven
dollars a week in cash." remarked
ALLOWING that you gave your servant
holiday every Sunday, her pay would
amount to about eight cents an hour
Many ten-year-old newsboy or boot
black makes more than that. Do you
think 1t is entirely reasonable to ex-
pect perfection from a worker to whom
you pay a nickel every three-quarters
of an hour?"
If the lady had appeared pleased al
these suggestions, which she was not
should have proceeded to tell her tina,
the only way to solve the servant gir
problem Is to organize the servant.
into unions and raise wages fifty Del
cent. This would wipe out the stupic
ones and elevate the others bv givins
them a pride in their work. It woult
give them se1f-respect, which is thu
first and most indispensable of al
virtues.
The work Of a servant is all skilled
work. Any one who does not thinl
ga has merely to try it for day to b
convinced. Yet the great majority Of
servants receive no more for their labor
than It they were common laborers

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND ON LABOR.

Archbishop Ireland addressed the
worhngmen Of st. Paul on Labor Day
HIS advice to labor at this critical time
was most timely, and it is to be hoped
that it will be we'll taken. The rapid
growth Of the labor movement during
the past few years has alarmed even its
most loyal supporters. The fear is that
the growth IS almost too rapid to be
healthy. The old workers in the move
ment are exerting every effort to i'm
press upon the minds Of the members
of the new unions the necessity for
careful action. The history of the
movement is being taught to them, SO
that the errors of the organizations
preceding the American Federation of
Labor will not be repeated.
We know as we'll as any one outside
Of the movement that certain trade
unions have made. some serious mis-
takes of late, but we have great conf1d-
ence in the American workman. He
wants to be right, and we know that in
the end he will come out right. His
movement today is but in it's crude
state.
When John Ireland criticized trade
unions for imposing their opinions by
force he evidently forgot the early tao
tics Of the church of which he is a
pillar, when that church was in a. crude
state.
But In the fullness of years his
church departed from It's arbitrary
methods until it now stands as de-
fender Of personal liberty. How Diff
ferent from the days when 1t persecut-
ed men fore heresey, when they refused
to believe everything taught by the
church? So with the labor union. It
will and must stand as the defender of
the personal liberty Of the individual in
the industrial world. If it were not for
trade unions the individual working
man would long ago have been robbed
of his personal liberty by the very class
who lauds and supports the sentiments
Of such men as John Ireland.
Trade unions do not attempt to des-
troy the personal liberty Of the nom
union man. He has perfect right to
work outside Of a union, but not in a
union. Union men have perfect right
to say whether they will or will not
work with him. Trade unions 20 so far
and no farther.
Nothing was said by the reverend
gentleman against the greatest des-
troyer Of personal liberty known in
modern times-the trust. Not one word
was uttered against that instrument
which is preventing hundreds and
thousands Of American citizens from
being anything better than wage-earn-
ers and salaried men. A criticism OF
their methods would surely set John
Ireland right with the great body OF
American citizens who have not been
| purchased, and whose souls are free
from the contamination of capitalistic
| influences.

robbed the sick Of everything eatable
and drinkable, and even took away the
pillow from under the patients head.
But the fact was that thase nurses were
paid only sixty cents q day for twelve
hours work-flve cents an hour. Was
it any wonder that they were lazy and
dishonest and brutal and all the rest
Of it?
About forty years ago Florence
Nightingale became a nurse. Her par
ents were wealthy and influential, and
her action was considered extraordi-
nary. But by degrees she lifted up the
whole profession Of nursing, founded
g. training school and made nursing a
popular profession among young ladies
Of education and refinement. Today
trained nurse holds her diploma like
a doctor and commands a, salary of
from $40 to $50 a week. The nurse
problem has been solved and points
out the way in which the servant girly
question can be settled.
When any class Of workers is poorly
paid and overworked, the work done
is sure to be unsatisfactory. How can
it be otherwise? If you plant an ORCH
ard in rocky soil, expose it to much cold
and little moisture, can you reasonably
expect it to bear good fruit? So far as
his work is concerned, every human
being is like fruit tree. Give him
the proper conditions under which good
work can be produced, and he will do
good work.
This Is one Of the many reasons why
unionism should be upheld by employ
ers as well as by wage workers. Every
influence which educates the worker
and increases his self-respect adds to
his value as producer as we'll as to
his worth as a citizen Of this Republic.

NINE-YEAR-oLD BOY
DROWNED IN THE BAY
Frank Milon Jumps Overheard From
a Raft on Which He Is
PLAYING.

Frank Milon, a nine-year- boy,

to float into deep water. The four
boys thereupon jumped overheard and
made for the shore. They all reached
it except young Milon, who sank to
the bottom.
Joseph Bartlett and Patrick Shan
ley went overheard and grappIed for
the body, finally recovering it at 1:45
