to where Fitzsimmons raised so much
money all in a lump.

LABoR's SHARE OF PROSPERITY

From the Washington Post.J
Railway employees, who are as COM
pletely organized as workmen in any
other line of industry in the nation,
learned some years ago that nothing is
gained by strikes. while much may be
lost. For several years the railway en-
ployes' organizations have been secur-
ing adjustment of their wage schedules
through committees selected for that
purpose and composed of men of the
highest standing in the different railway
organizations. Railway managers have
accepted the new conditions gladly and
have encouraged the method of settling
differences instead of a resort to the old
plan of strikes and violence, disastrous
alike to the railways and the employees.
The result of this method can be studied
with profit by the labor leaders in other
lines who are retarding business, dam
2ging the cause of unionism and rob
bling their own pockets by persistence in
the use of strike methods.
A little more than a year ago the rail-
way employees of the country began a
concerted movement for increase in
wages. Every railroad where such de-
mands have been made has yielded, the
Rock Island having just made conces-
sions which averted a threatened break
in the long existing friendly relations
with the employers. Silas Thmopson, ed
itor of the Railway News and an auth
GRITTY upon such matters, declares that
as result of this system of adjusting
wage differences the railway employees
of the nation have had their wages in
creased during the last year by more
than $1,00O,000. Nearly all of this inn
mense sum has been granted willingly
by the railroad companies, upon fair
presentation of the claims of their en-
ployes because they appreciated the in
crease in the cost of the living of the
men and felt they could afford to pay
more in wages on account of the in
creased railroad earnings. In no case
was there a strike which involved any
stopping of trains or inconvenience to
the travelling public. 1t is clearly the
most remarkable instance on record of
the upward movement in wages for
particular class of employees. The rail-
way employees have substantial reason
for believing that there is prosperity
enough for all. 1t is to be regretted
that other branches of organized labor
cannot, or do not. apparently appreciate
the wisdom of the railway employees
plan of dealing with wage differences
and labor disputes.
