TRUE SOLUTION or LABOR PROBLEM.
A few days ago the owners of the
steel and tin riate mills that are In
operation In TIttsburg and It's imme-
date vicinity iu the region covered by
the great iron industries concluded a
compact with the 10000 operatives en-
ployed in their mills and factories estab-
llshin4 n scrle OF wages for the en-
plOyes in tue VARIOUS branches Of the
iron industry under specific regulations
and limitations that will be in effect
for the coming tN eve months.
This mutual working agreement, rep
rcsenting uu output o. raw and finished
factory products Of ~stupendous volume
md value, running perhaps into the
hundreds Of millions, affords a striking
and unparalleled example Of the trend
ct modern indusiiialism and the rela-
ton or labor and capital when organ
ize1 IN t,jrtr greatest perfection for mu-
tu.l benefit. II should be borne in mind
shat the negotiations between the 100,.
600 operatives employed in the great
iron industry ond the owners of the
vast establishments that give them en-
pIoymeut were carried on by perhaps
not more than fifteen or twenty per-
sons and concluded in less than three
days to the satlRfhct 4 Of all concerned.
1t goes without saying that no COM
pact for a years working arrangement
could have been negotiated with the
individual employees with any degree Of
assurance of harmonious termination in
a month md possibly not in two or
three months. 1t is also manifest that
no compact guaranteeing industrial
peace for my length of time, involving
interests OF such magnitude, could have
been even contemplated were 1t not for
the fact that the great body Of work
men employed in the iron mills, foun-
dries and factories were compactly or
ganized in one general union that can
vouch for the delivery Of the commodity
known as labor at a fixed price, for n
fixed period.
These periodic working arrangements
with organized labor foreshadow the
true solution Of all labor problems by
mutual recognition of the rights of the
employer and the rights Of the employe,
and the settlement of all differences and
grievances by boards of Cancellation
and arbitration, whose findings will he
respected and enforced by mutual
agreement.

MULTIPLICITY OF SMALL BANKS.

Since the refunding act of 1900 was
passed, permitting the organization Of
banks with $25, 900 capital in places Of
not more than 1000 Inhabitants, there
has been a net increase of 1887 in the
number of active institutions and an
increase Of 1882, 223, 600 in the aggre-
gate capital. While the organization Of
these small banks has undoubtedly beer
of very material advantage to the com.
munities in which they are located,
some think that ultimately they may
prove a weak spot In the financial
structure. In prosperous times, re-
marks Il leading financial journal, such
as we have been having for FIVE years
past, all goes well with the widely ex-
tended and loosely connected banking
system, for such losses as are incurred
are easily borne, "but let a time come
when a severe strain is put upon credit
and these mushroom banks will be in
great danger Of breaking down and
pulling hard upon the strands that con-
meet them with larger banks and
through the latter with the centers of
financial strength. The strain may
cause breaks all through the widely
extended lines and shatter credit where
but for this it could be held up by the
powerful association Of banks with
large u of capital and of inan-
rial ability, Whenever a crisis comes.
and we cannot hope that the day of
crises is wholly past, it will be found
that the comparative isolation of the
large banks and the existence of q null
titude of small independent banking con-
Germs will prove n lamentable source
of weakness"
1t Is not to be doubted that thus far
results have justified the legislation au
thor!zing the organization Of banks
with small capital. A great many com
munities have derived substantial
benefit from them. There was a large
demand for such banks, as the number
that has been organized shows. But
the danger pointed ont in the above
extract undoubtedly exists and that fact
should couduce to conservatism on the
part of the small banks referred to and
also TO n careful surveillance by the
large banks with which they are con-
nected. At present the national bank,
ing system is In good condition through.
out, but n severe strain might disclose
weakness not suspected and it is quite
possible that this would be found
among the small banks, though there
is no reason to suppose that they are
generally Jess carefully and conserva,
lively managed than the larger ones.

Baltimore American; while religious
assemblies are graveiy discussing the ad.
mission OF Infants into heaven, no one else
has a particle Of doubt as 70 the fate OF
innocent children who die.
Bufaio Express: A minister in Brooklyn
says that $4,000 a year sends a man to the
devil. That, II is true. is the special train
service. but In Justice TO his satanic maj
esty, the minister should remember that
he .is by no means illlberai with his cheap
excursion rates.
Brooklyn Eagle: The Prcsbyterians in
general assembly have decided not to be-
long to the middle ages any more, and
have agreed that infants are not TO be
damned. Does anyone suspect that they
ever were-even those who walk the floor
with them nights?
Chicago Chronicle, II an utter stranger
TO the president were to encounter him
on neutral ground and instantly begin to
talk about the strenuous life" and similar
presidential apothegms the stranger would
be set down az an impairment person.
Yet that is exactly what a Cheyenne Cwyo)
preacher did last Sunday when he preached
at MIR. Roosevelt respecting Strenuous
ness" There is a singular deficiency OF
tact and sense Of proprlety in some
preachers.
New York Times: The Rev Donald Sage
Mackay said n wise thing in his sermon
on Sunday last which merits such emphasis
as it may gain from republication. What
especially commends itself to approval is
the following: THE greatest menace to
tho life Of this city lies not in the hordes
of foreign ignorance that are thronging
our doors, but in the torpid Indifference,
the sluggish selnshness of those who, born
and bred In the atmosphere of American
civil and religious liberty, are forgetful
of their responsibilities to the larger life
OF the city" This is not a new discovery.
Probably a great many people have eX-
pressed the same thought in generally SIM
liar language; but II crystallizes a living
truth which cannot be too often or too
clearly proclaimed by those who feel re-
sponsibility for tho education of the people.
Portland Oregonian: And so the pundits
of the Presbyterian theology have decided,
after q long struggle and many warnings
of a disapproving conscience, that those
who die In infancy are not lost through a
blunder or oversight in the plan OF saliva
tion." 1t would he a Joke, we're the subject

development OF habits OF thrift and the
accumulation Of capital. The old school
Of economists therefore would have
secuted the idea of q general and
permanent rise in interest rates. Later
theorists have been inclined to take II
different view, namely that the use Of
capital is volled according TO the re
turn TINT can be had from its employ
ment in profitable enterprises and
would concede the possibility Of a gen
eral rise in the rate Of interest II the
productive capacity Of capital were
first increased. IL New York City has
to pay more now than Il did two or
three years ago to float bonds backed
by the same credit and based on better
security, It must be simply because in
vestors find themselves able to get big
ger profits in other fields. Whether the
interest rate will 60 still higher and
whether 1t will be maintained at the
new level any length Of time Will Of
course depend on the stability of
present prosperous conditions and the
relative intensity Of the demand for
loans as measured up with the supply
Of volatile capital.
