A GAME IN GLASS.

The glass situation has been brought to
a most harmonious and beautiful conclu-
sion. The two big window glass trusts and
the two big glass blowers unions have
all agreed that there shall be no more war
fare-that is. competition-that there shall
be an advance of 10 per cent. in wages, and
heaven only knows how much in price; and
that all the factories shall remain idle until
the present stock of window glass in the
country is exhausted. 1t is declared that
the cooperative factories have agreed to
adhere to the advance in price. whatever
II may be, and to the stoppage Of work un-
I'll a general order for resumption is issued.
And the consumer? Well, the consumer
will pay enough more for the glass he must
have to pay the fiddler to make up to the
men their high wages for the months of
idleness and to make up TO the manufactur-
ing corporations the interest on the value of
their plants and the profits for the time the
plants are idle and as much more as they
can stand. A great economic wrong Is COM
mitted. Instead of men and plants and in
vestment of capital going ahead and Great
year in order that supplies Of this par
ticular kind CT wealth may be exhausted
and higher selling price forced upon the
consumer. 1t is fitting illustration
of a hunting combination between en-
| ployers and employees" with the general
public a quarry, can be found in the
building trades Of Chicago or anywhere
| else.
What are we coming to? Everybody that
builds owns a building is the consumer
! OF the glass combination. The glass men
are consumers for various other combina-
| tons. When everything is produced by a
| combination and the members of one are
the consumers of another, and so on, and
we all get into the coercive fleeing game.
| Will any of US be any better off? 1t is a
| fascinating game. and rather rough on the
| last consumer that gets in, but he will get
in eventually. If he does not starve in the
| meantime.

RULE OF NOBLESSE OBLIGE-
Now. TO say that the employers are mere
ly turning trades union methods against
trades unions is TO be inexact. II is right
TO say that the association insists pri-
marily that If employers hope to combat
labor they must organize in separate trades.
In different cities and States, and through
out the country, TO the same extent that
workmen have. Againt solid front they
must be able to oppose a solid front-but.
noblesse oblige, there are some obligations
upon the employer which are not upon the
workers; and the gratifying thing about the
scheme OF this promising new association
Is that II acts upon the conviction that this
indeed is the case. IL does not league with
that insanity OF avarice which has become
more or less Characteristic of men manag-
ing businesses and properties. From what
one Knows OF the men who make up the
Chicago Employers Association, one Is
wiling 10 believe that their plan is 10 carry
on warfare no better than that Of trades
unionism.
Up to this time its contests have been for
the right OF nonunion workers-S per cent.
OF all wage workers-to his daily bread. 1t
has been against the union proposition that
man not untonist cannot have a Job.
Twenty-three agreements have been ar
ton, providing that there shall be no dis
elimination because of union membership
or nonmembership in the employment OF
blacksmiths, blacksmiths' helpers, machin-
lists, metal workers, carriage and wagon
workers, picture-frame makers and mold
ers, offce-building fremen. tanners, leather
workers, stockyards engineers and firemen,
laundry workers. cooks and walters, and
in six other trades.
L. w. Job, secretary and administrator
of the association which has brought about
these results, was once on the State Board
of Arbitration Of Illinois. He does not be-
lieve in arbitration as he used TO; neither
do many others who are seeking for a way
out of labor violences; but that is another
story. Mr.. Job comes of the stock that
made its way West in early days with
Bible in one hand and a rifle In the other"
He is graduate of Ann Arbor, lawyer,
honest and stalwart. and has the respect
If not the fear of labor leaders. He came
from Alton ILL.,, town of IL 600 Inhabitants
and thirty-eight unions. the worst union
lied town in the United States There he
organized one of the first Employers As
sociations, now so numerous in the West.
which can be powerful on its side for
sistance the Federation of Labor is for
aggression. He, like his association. stands,
however, for a sense of social morality and
nobleSse oblige in the economic warfare.
You can never" he declares, get a per-
fectly satisfactory industrial equilibrium

will always be complaining. But you can

tinued prosperity of the country aud that
the passing of the gold standard act three
years ago gave us pretty good protection
against uncertainty and insecurity of cur

rectly pressing nor, to the ordinary Observ-
er, quite plainly visible at this time that ii
seems almost impossible to secure now for

support to make attempts to pass il FEAST
BILE. But the need exists, nevertheless, and
there is no guarantee that a defective sys-
tenn which is doing us no intolerable harm
at present will be adequate in future emer-
gencies. 1t is true, also, that the legislation
of 1900 did much to prevent a possible fall
to silver basis: but the permanence of the
gold standard will not be certain as IL
should be till it is absolutely assured that
any person taking a silver dollar to the
treasury can get a gold dollar for it with
out delay or question.

When Secretary Root was approached on
the subject of taking second place on the
Republican ticket with President Roosevelt
he said that was impossible under the Con-
stitution. The statement has been criticised
in some quarters as implying that the Con-
stitution prohibits the candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President from coming from
the same State, and a city contemporary
says: What most people do not know
about the Constitution would make a docu-
ment of about the same length" Secretary
Root was right 1t is true the Constitution
and Vice President shall not come from the
same State, but it says: 1.-THE electors shall
meet in their respective States and vote by
ballot for President and Vice President, one
of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabi-
tant Of the same State with themselves"
Under this provision if two citizens Of New
York were nominated, respectively. for Pres
ident and Vice President the electors from
that State could not vote for both of them.
The electors from all the other States could.
but those from New York could not. They
would have to cast their ballots for one can
didate from another State. This would Gre
ate confusion and might imperil the election
of one of the candidates. No doubt Secre-
tary Root had this provision of the Consti-
tuition in mind when he made the statement
referred to- He is better up on the Con-
stitution than his critics are.

Denver Republican.
There is one part OF the platform adopted
by the Nebraska Republicans which should
be pleasing to Senator Teller, since IL is so
closely in accord with the position taken
by him on a notable occasion in this state
The part OF the platform TO which we
refer is as follows:
THE Philippines are ours as the legiu-
mate and browning result OF honorable war
fare, and we hold them not for barter or
sale. but a a part OF the national domain.
made sacred to by the American blood
which has been shed 10 plant and main
tain the stars and stripes upon the far-on
isles OF the Pacific ocean.
This sounds very much like what sena-
tor Teller said in a speech delivered In
Colorado Springs. upon which occasion In
reference 10 the Philippines ne declared:
I'VE have planted our flag there. We have
buried our dead. and. by the Eternal. the
flag shall stay while the Union lives
He must have read with thrill OF de-
light the declaration of the Nebraska Re-
publicans that they favored the same policy
of which he so emphatically proclaimed
himself an advocate in the speech referred
TO. However strong an adherent OF Mr..
Bryan he may be to-day, he can hardly
object to so clear an Endorsement OF his
views as that which by the adoption OF
their platform the Nebraska Republicans

When the United States Steel Corpora
ton reached an agreement with the Anal
gamated Association after the great strike
conducted by Mr.. Shaffer, scale of wages
was agreed on and it was agreed that the
plants that were running with nonunion
men should continue nonunion. while the
union should control the others, the same
scale Of wages being paid in both. In the
business of the American Sheet Steel Com
pany, one of the subsidiary corporations,
this division left a slight majority of the
mills nonunion. When the recent slack
business in sheets came along all the union
mills were closed and are still closed indef-
initely, but the nonunion mills are running
full, with the prospect of continuing in
definitely. The Amalgamated Association
has called convention, which will proba-
bly, ask the Steel Corporation to declare the
nonunion plants "open shops" in order
.hat Amalgamated men may work therein
without losing their union cards.
The men are disposed to charge the cor
poration with something of sharp prac-
tice in this discrimination as to whether
the mills continued in operation shall be
union or nonunion, but the managers de-
clare that their policy in this regard is an
entirely passionless one. 1t is the plain
est kind of a business proposition, they
declare, that they can make more money
for their stockholders by operating the nom
union mills, Notwithstanding the fact that
the scale is the same in both. because in
these mills they can get something like the
full benefit of their labor-saving machinery
and thus run the plants at nearly their
rated capacity, while In the nonunion mills,
where the cost of fuel, administration and
other fixed expense is the same, the capaci-
ty Of their equipment is cut down by arbi-
trary action on the part of the union men.
No manufacturer with an extensively
equipped shop will doubt the truth of this
assertion. The disposition to curtail pro-
duction is growing among organized work
| men at such a rapid rate that it seems
| impossible to estimate the production of a
plant with anything like accuracy.
