AMERICAN METHODS.
British Commission Tells What II
Saw While In This Country.
nezIea That fha Ame ricaz MnrkmAn
Works Harder or Faster Than
His English Brother-0th-
er Criticiama.

Unfsyorable testimony by members
of the Moseley commission. which re-
Gently returned from the United
States after investigating trade and
industrial conditions there, accumu-
lates. Mr.. Mcdonald, the delegate Of
the London Trades council, in an ad-
dress to his fellow councillors, repudi-
ated the idea that American workmen
did three times the amount of work ac-
comphshed by the English. He denied
that the policy of ga canny" did not
exist in the United States.
The delegates found in most of the
workshops men taking things more
quietly than they do in England. While
the tendency in the United States was
toward the use of machines, to short
er hours, and to increase in wages,
there were also bad firms and sweat
ers' dens in New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and elsewhere that would not
be allowed to exist in Great Britain for
five minutes.
He did not think that British meth
DDS would be much changed as the re-
suit of the commissions visit, because
here they went in for solid, sound
workmanship, which they did not dOin
America. He had seen work there
which would cause q man to be dis
charged here instantly. The American
workmen had nothing to teach the
British workmen, but the British EN-
ployer had great deal to learn from
the American employer.
In criticising the cities the commits
sion had visited, Mr., Mcdonald said
they had only seen one that was clean,
namely, Washington. The condition
of Pittsburg and the business of the
people there were impossible to de-
scribe. The delegates, in visiting the
Carnegie works, were told not to take
notes or photographs, but what he saw
of the workers condition impelled
him to say that, if Mr.. Carnegie would
get the workers children shod, pave
the streets, and put windows in some
of the houses, he would do more for the
good of humanity than in endowing Ii,
braries.
Ca canny," the expression quoted
above, is a Scotch phrase, which is
equivalent to don't overwork your
self" This is the policy followed by
British trades unions in not allowing
workman to exceed the regulation
output.

5000 en- Northern Pacific
Burlington.

Butte, Mont, February 13.-Five
men, according to the railway men,
and two men, according to .passen-
gers, held up a Burlington esstbound
express eight miles from this city on
the Northern Pacific tracks shortly
before midnight.
The robbers blew the express sale
and escaped with plumber estimated
at as high as $1,000. Preceding the
blowing Of the sale the robbers had
a fight with the train crew In which a
mail clerk was badly wounded.
The holdup took place on q grade
which leads into Butte. The robbers
appeared suddenly at q short turn
FHnd one waved a red lantern. The
signal was instantly obeyed by the
engineer. but before he could realize
the purpose Of the robbers they were
covered with revolvers. The fireman
was forced to leave the cab and un.
couple the express and mail coaches,
while the engineer remained on the
engine.
The sudden stopping OF the train
aroused the other members OF the
train crew and a number OF passen'
gers, who rushed to the platform,
Fight was quickly shown by the rob-
bers and while the passenger rushed
back into the cars the trainmen
stood their ground and returned the
fire OF the robbers. About a dozen
shots in all we're fired, the only per-
son being hit, so far as known, being
a mail clerk.
The robbers retreated in the direc-
ton of the mail and express cars
while firing and when they reached
the rear platform they gave signal
to go ahead. The cars were run
about two miles where the safe was
blown. Quickly gathering t their
booty, the robbers mounted horses
and rode away. The news reached
this city half an hour later and pos.
ses were sent out Immediately in all
directions. The Northern Pacific
company has offered a reward of$5,-
900 for the arrest and conviction OF
the robbers.

for Them.


Philip Burtt, general traffic man

speaking at the Railway institute OF
York the other day relative to his
recent investigation of American rail.
road methods, expressed general ad.
miration of them, and said he was OF
the opinion that British railroad men
could learn much from America. Al
the same time, he added, the besI
American minds would find much to
admire and learn in English railroad
management.
Mr.. Barrett said that the intense
keenness and enthusiasm of all Amer
leans in their every day work had
left lasting impression on him. He
thought that while America held the
record for speed. the English averag,
express runs would be found higher
than the American. Mr.. Burt cor
daily admired American adaptability
in the use of power and ingenious
labor-saving devices. He concluded
with remarking:

KENNEDY UNAWARE
OF KAUAl'S VOYAGE

ST don't know whether the Kauai will
wreck the French ship, or not" said
President Kennedy of the Inter Island
Steam Navigation Company, yesterday.
''She went to Anahola Thursday night. ="
"Will the steamer proceed to the
Shoals after going to Anahola?" asked
the Advertiser man.
II don't know" was the reply. '"The
Kauai has a big load of freight for
Anahola, and if the weather is bad she
may have to lay around there before
commencing to discharge"
wouldn't you know whether the Ka-
uai was going to elsewhere than Ana
| hola-the French Frigate Shoals, for
| instance?"
mo, 1 wouldn't replied Mr.. Ken
nedy. Captain Haglund would know"
But he went out in charge of the
Kauai this time"
"Oh, did hep
| you can't state then positively
whether the Kauai has gone to wreck

mo, / cannot"
| The above is a conversation held by
| President Kennedy and an Advertiser
reporter, relative to the rumor that the
Kauai had secretly departed to wreck
| the French ship, left pounding on the
French Frigate Shoals on the morning
of October II, by Capt, Rault and his
| crew.
| What gives color of verify to the ru-
NOR is that Captain Haglund, port
captain of the Inter Island Steamship

Kennedy would have the authority to
extend the voyage of0the Kauai to the

If the Kauai should go from Anahola
| to the Shoals it would take her a day
and a half at least.
1t is not believed that the vessel
could be pulled off the reef by the Kau-
al According to Capt. Rault's story
! the Frenchman is wedged in amongst
| coral heads far in the contour of the

| Acting French Consul Raas said yes
terday afternoon in connection with the
rumored expedition of the Kauai thai
the owners have not forfeited their own
ership of the vessel, as the Captain OF
the Richmont had taken every pre-
| caution to make the vessel safe, par
ring bad weather at the Shoals. He

lines to the reef to steady her. Mr.

that abandonment under the circum'
stances forfeited the claim of the own
