A Future Possibility.

1t is expected that May 1 will Wit
ness the inauguration of one of the
bitterest labor contests of recent
years. not excepting the great coal
strike. 1t will be between the build
ing trades on the one hand and the
workers in structural iron on the
other, with the iron manufacturers
playing a prominent part. Both par
ties to the controversy are organized
and each is endeavoring to strength
en- their respective organizations.
Representatives of 40 manufacturers
have recently been in conference.
They represented capital of more
than billion dollars. This organiza-
ton is to have branches in all the
large cities of the United States. If
the demand for increased wages con
tinues. work will be suspended.
y struggle of this kind, so far as
the contending parties are concerned
promises to be exceedingly bitter and
to last long. The public. as is always
the case, will he the sufferer. but not
to such a great extent. perhaps, as
when the thing involved in the strike
| is a universal necessity, as was the
case with coal.
1t has been apparent for some time
that the cost of building could not be
| further advanced without bringing
on a struggle of some kind, or a gen
eral cessation of building enterprises
Buildings are constructed primarily
for three purposes: For the purpose
of business. for homes, or for invest
ment. Buildings that are projected
for the purpose of business cannot
well be delayed. If a business con
Germ has Outgrown present quarters
so that the necessity for charging
quarters is imperative, those inter
ested will little bubble over the price
of labor or material. for they expect
TO get immediate returns from their
increased investment. The building
of a home. however. may be delayed
indefinitely. And as for building pure
iy for the purpose of investment. such
buildings will not be undertaken, un-
less the protector feels that he can
rent his building throughout a series
of years at a remunerative rate.
1t would be well if all persons in
terested in the building trades would
consider these facts carefully. Nc
| one blames any man for seeking to
gain the largest compensation posi-
BILE for his services. But it is not wise
for anyone to make demands of this
character that will inevitably curtail
the opportunities for labor. The
highest price that can be gained with
out curtailing enterprise ought to be
the end sought. When unreasonable
demands are made, the danger line is
passed

, Not Much to Fear.

1t is more than likely that the talk
ed-of league among European coun-
tries to resist the American CONNER
cial invasion may never amount to
the dignity of being seriously treated.
There is no doubt there is a strong
feeling in portions of Europe against
the way America is threatening some
Of the commercial interests.
But we are told that to every poison
there is an antidote, if it could be
discovered.
The antidOte against any such poi
son as some of the European papers
and a few of the statesmen are talk
ing about lies in the fact that Euro
pean countries are more Jealous of
each other than they are of this
country.
They are watching each other as a
cat would watch dog, and they
have good reason to do so, because
each country is seeking to get the
best of the other.
The greater protection we have in
the advocacy of the Monroe doc
trine, events in the fact that if it was
possible to divide up the South
American countries there would, be no
amicable way among the European
nations for the division of the same
This in part accounts for the Anglo
German alliance in the late Venezue-
Ian affair. One country was afraid
to trust the other alone over here.
The impossibility of making an
agreement among themselves is what
keeps the powers from dividing up
the Turkish empire. 1t could not be
divided without destroying what is
known as 1.-The balance of power" over
there.
United alliance against American
Industries and American commercial
activity presupposes harmony among
the powers, and that is simply an inn
possibility.
The condition of Europe today is
SO ticklish that such thing would
be something that could not be en-
tertained for a moment.

army, and the American civilians
there are said to be getting out in
large numbers and about as fast as
they can. A San Francisco dispatch
to the New York Herald tells of the
arrival there of Andrew r. WALL ed
itor of the Manila Cable News, who
says:
The Americans are leaving the ISL
ands as fast as they can get away.
There now less than 5000 Americans
in the Philippines, where two years
ago there were twice that number.
The reason for this condition of af-
fairs is found in the fact that the
trade of the islands, which are the
chief dependence of the Americans,
has gradually dwindled to a figure
that practically makes it of no value.
large part of the trade was derived
from the presence of the large army
stationed on the islands, but the new
army bill has cut the army strength
in half. so that Americans have found
it hardly worth their while to re-
main there. The country is illsuited
to Americans at best, and unless the
trade is good enough to warrant re-
naming there are not many who are
likely to stay long. The trade is de
creasing so rapidly that most of them
are in haste TO leave.

A Chronic Mayoralty Candidate.

1t is just 10 years since William
McConochie entered city politics as
alderman from the Sixth ward, and
he has been after the mayoralty, eth
err in the conventions of his own par
ty or before the people on every con-
ceivable occasion since.
This is the seventh time he has
sought the honor. He has been may
or three times during the period al
luded to, but has more often been
either repudiated by conventions of
the republican party or rejected at
the polls.
Thus. in brief. is the political rec
ord of this chronic officeseeker, while
his public record is absolutely empty,
so far as accomplishments for the
city's welfare are concerned.

Not for speaking of its moral as
poets, the industrial employment of
children is the gravest material waste.
Such trifiing sums as the little toilers
produce are gained at the expense of
their mature usefulness. for it is in
the common finding of all investiga-
tions of the subject that hard work
too early undertaken stunts the pow
ers and shortens the lives of the vic
Tins. Child labor cuts the sapling

Happiness is the greatest paradox
in nature. 1t can grow in any soil.
live under any conditions. 1t defies
environment. 1t comes from within.
IT is the revelation of the depths of
the inner life as light and heat pro-
claim the sun from which they radi-
ate. Happiness consists not of hav-
ing, but of being; not of possessing,
but of enjoying. 1t is the warm glow
of heart at peace within itself.
