ries as sugar cane, from which the employer dare not
depart. 1t is hopeless to try to make them turn out to
gangs, and they will not work a minute after the time
for knocking Off arrives.
In the middle of the day there is a rest hour for lunch,
which consists of an enormous bundle of hay, some
rank guinea grass" and a stick of sugar cane. Lunch
time is announced by the ringing of a bell. Immediately
the elephants hear that bell they drop the logs they are
carrying, or whatever work they are doing, and troop
together to talk, rub one another fondly with their
trunks, rest. feed md enjoy their leisure hour. When the
bell rings again at the appointed time for the resump-
ton of work, there IS no sulkiness or skulklng. Each
elephant goes quietly and cheerfully back to his task.
and works hard and faithfully at it.
An engineer in charge of a bodybuilding job in Bur
NAH some years ago received orders to hurry up the
work. He had a large gang of elephants engaged in
clearing the forest through which the road had to pass.
The Lieutenant Governor of Burmah was coming along
in a few days to inspect the work, so the engineer
thought he would make the elephants work harder and
longer than usual. Accordingly he ordered tie bell for
stopping work to be rung an hour late.
For the first day the elephants were cheated and
worked on steadily until they heard the accustomed
sound of the bell al . O'Clock in the evening instead Of
s. But next day they did not wait for the bell.
Punctualy at 5 o'clock a veteran tusker, who had
worked as a 'coolie elephant" for many years and knew
all about elephants rights, threw up his trunk and
trumpeted vigorously. The others took that as a signal,
dropped their work, formed into line, and marched
home, headed by the old tusker and all trumpetng de-
family at the engineer and his men.
Another large employer of elephant labor in Burmah
once tried to change the lunch hour of a gang from
noon to 1 p. m. to suit his convenience. He ordered
the lunch bell to be rung an hour late. 1t was no good
In a day or two the elephants "tumbled to the game
and quit at IL O'Clock as usual.

for example, that there are castles and
classes among elephants just as there
are among men. There is the aristo-
cratic elephant, whose ancestors for
generations have been the honored
pets of maharajahs; there is the mill
tary elephant of baser birth, who
draws the big guns and stands I'M
moved amidst the roar of battle; and
there is the plebeian elephant-the
"coolie elephant" as the natives call
him-who has performed the mental
tasks of drawing and carrying all his
life, and never expects anything Bet
ter.
If a high-caste elephant is set to do
mental work, there is sure to be trou-
bic. His high spirit will take fire at
the insult, and in all probability men
, will be killed. Similarly, the military
elephant objects toxkeing taken oft

ing tigers or carrying teakwood logs.
But il is when the elephants work
in gangs on some big job that they
show their human disposition to
kick" most strongly. Its just like

an American foreman who worked a
gang of them at Rangoon, Burmah.

delegate" with whom American en-
ployers of labor are so familiar.
When this elephant decides that the
gang has been insulted or unjustly
treated in any way, he throws up his
trunk and trumpets. The others i'm
mediately stop work, and will not re-
sumo it until the grievance has been
remedied. Their "mahouts" usually
know what is the matter, and can soon
put 1t right. Perhaps the sugar cane
has been forgotten, or the lunch has
not been sufficient; perhaps a foolish
driver has tried to bully an elephant
into carrying a weight too heavy for
him; perhaps an elephant who is &C
customed only to carrying has been
put IN harness to draw a log. Cases
have occurred in Burmah and India
where the "mahouts" could not i'm
agine what the grievance was, and,
therefore, could not remedy il, with
the result that twenty or thirty ele-
plants sulked for days.
If the elephant is handled properly
and allowed all that he thinks ought
to come TO him, he is the best worker
in the world. He never idles, never
tries to rob his master of time, and al
ways works willingly, vigorously and
intelligently. His sagacity has been
much written about. but only those
who have seen him at work realize il

A MAN would naturally suppose said an Eng
hsh engineer who has built many bridges and
y irrigation canals in India and Burmah, that
when he got elephants to work for him in
stead of men, he would have no more trouble over the
labor question.
But the supposition would be wrong. | have employed
hundreds of elephants to haul and carry and build and
pump and do a thousand other things, but l never yet
knew an elephant that did not stick up for its rights
as strenuously as any member of a labor union. And an
elephant will go on strike in a minute if he does not get
everything that he thinks is due to him"
The engineers hearers were incredulous, but he was
perfectly correct. In India and Burmah, where many
thousands of elephants are used to perform work which
is done in this country by men or machines, the tenn
permanent of the beast is understood and his idosyncra-
sizes are humored.
Every elephant driver and engineer in the East knows,

 The man Warner, who shot MT.
