SMITH & wEsSON EPISODE.
1t Settled the Strike Problem Quickly
and for All Time.

Amherst (Mass.) Record.
A passing strange event has occurred in
what some choose to consider as the ire
pressible conflict between the employed and
their employers. In the labor union ridden
city Of Springfield, where even the boot
blacks are unionized, a new labor union
has died a-borning. There was a general
supposition that pretty much everybody and
everything allowed to exist In Springfield
wore the union label in conspicuous place,
but it seems the judgment was too hasty.
There are men and there are business con-
Germs that have refused to pay obeisance to
the labor fetch.
For something like half century the
firm of Smith & Wesson has conducted a
fourishing and successful manufacturing
business in the city, giving employment
to hundreds of men and distributing week.
ly many thousands of dollars In wages.
During all this time the employees have been
paid high prices for their labor and their
relations with their employers have been
satisfactory in every way The members OF
the firm of Smith & Wesson are opposed to
labor unions. They hold to the old-fashioned
doctrine that the manufacturers should re-
tain control OF their own business, should
use their own discretion in hiring help and
determining wages and other conditions of
employment. The men in their employ, well
paid and well treated, have remained con-
tentedly at work while the industrial storms
with strikes and lockouts and boycotts have
ragged around them.
But in an evil hour the eye Of the walking
delegate was attracted toward this line Of
industry. Could it be possible? Here were
hundreds of men at work in Springfield who
didn't belong TO any union; who were on
good terms with their employers, who had
not any grievances. who never thought of
striking Preposterous! The walking dele
gate proceeded TO get busy. BY use OF the
familiar arguments he succeeded I'm per-
suading the workmen that the one thing
i'm life they needed was a union. They or
ganfzed applied for a charter and got IL.

No ONE who has given the matter
thought will question the wisdom OF the
plan for the purchase by the County of
the property adjoining the present court
house site, to be used for the new build
ing which the County will erect to re-
place the old court house, and the Board
should take prompt action, at the meet
ing to be held tomorrow, to delegate the
authority for the purchase to the Com
mittee. The suggestion has been heart
ily endorsed in both the city and county
and no serious opposition having arisen
the Board is fully justified in proceed
ing 1t has long been source or un-
favorable comment that the conditions
and surroundings Of the county build
ing were not the most creditable and
now that a new building is to be provid-
ed, the Board should take the necessary
steps to improve the conditions. The
building on which the County Is
engaged is to stand for the next fifty or
hundred years and the future should be
given consideration at this time. At q
small additional cost a much larger,
better and more handsome site can be
secured and it will also pro-
vide for the future in the event that 1t is
found necessary to make additions to
the court house because of growth and
development Of Manitowoc county.
Manitowoc County can we'll afford to
build well in undertaking the erection
of a new court house; 1t is monument
that will stand for the coming genera
ton and there should be no hesitancy to
make it worthy one.

saws that reasonable men will ultimately
come to understand that the destruction
of capital incident to the suspension OF
labor and the closing down of plants in
strikes cannot make for the ultimate
good of either party contributing to the
general welfare. The union of employ
ers will make mediation or arbitration
absolutely necessary IN the adjustment
of differences, for if the union idea were
