MORE CONSISTENCY

The ways of some Of our corncilwer
are past understanding, Councilman
Joseph Potter, for instance, the
"friend of the people, and who IL
"mentioped" fos mayor, seems from
the state pentI attributed to hin last
night in the cornell to be OPP osed to
an additioasl fire deocrtrelt OF the
North Side. He seems to think that
the only reason anyore wanted the FIRE
department was to secure q reduction
in insurance rates. Any intelligent
msn knows thss the object Of fire IA
cilities is 10 protect property, and that
the better protection che people Rave
for their property the less will they
Rave to psy for irsrrance. 1t may be
THAT Councilman Potter does not get
INSURANCE on his place Of bssiress,
which is near the Genital station,
ctear r than someone 'artheE away,
bat it is quite certain that he would
not b. able 70 get it for what Re does
IL thoIe was no FIRE depcst relt at all
there. The object o. another fire sta
tion on the North SIDE is to give the
people who lives blocks away from
the nearest station good fire pro.ec-
ton. which they do not rave now
owing TO the distance of the depart
ment. 1t is nos q Question OF iusur-
snce rates. which Councilmsn Potter,
in his wisdom, seems to think it is,
bat a question OF projection.
On the heels o; bis position Oh The
FIRE station PROPOSITION care the police
appropriation of nearly s25, 900, while
the Appropriation under the Lang ad-
m'nist atio1 fof the deo1rtneDt was
only $4,000, ard yeo Councilman
Potter is mo- credited with any elo-
quent opposition TO the appropriation.
IL is not clear how the city has IN
creased in size to the extent, or the
borcers of the police department. have
becore so mrch greater in year, rs
to justly nearly double the expense.
II the city Is not large enough to have
another fire department, it is certain
ly not large enorgh TO necessitate q
doubling of its police appropriation,
yet Councilman Potter shuts his eyes,
for2ets the people, and it is alleged
voted for it. This is the kind of
consistency we sometimes trd in our
municipal boards. This thirg of be.
ing fr,erd to the people IS very o.
ten a sham.

days, which resolved itself into a sympo- sum on the practical effect of union con trol of labor, IS seen from the point of view of those taking part in the discus sion. It was probably the frankest dis cussion of this subject ever held. and may be briefly summarized as follows:
 As to the manner Tn which the unions have kept their agreements: Three "iti IS, Washington, Utica and Elmira, report that such agreements have been kept {: fourteen cities report that they have not been kept.
 As to the benefits resulting to employ CTS from conforming to union rules Washington alone claims benefits in a better understanding with the men. uni form wages and hours; sixteen cities re port that no benefits have resulted to any one.
 As to the creation of a better feeling between employers and employees by union agencies: Philadelphia sees benefit as the result of conferences; Washington sees in direct benefit from education, arbitra- ton and the suppression of the walking delegate; Troy sees both benefit and in jury. and most other cities report that the relations are constantly becoming more strained.
 As to the weakness of the union move ment from the employers point of view: The causes of this are found in the sup pression of the conservative employe; domination by interruptions and unintel- igent leaders who create unnecessary dis cord between the men and their employ CTS: the restriction of apprentices; boy cotting for strike purposes: 1epriving cit izens of their rights in exclusion from the privilege of working; Responsibility on the part of the unions. and the disadvan- tage which the employer who observes union rules suffers in competition for business with one who does not.
 AS to the course to be pursued by the employers to meet existing conditions: Thorough organization among themselves; the meeting of unjust strikes by lock outs: willingness at all proper times to confer with workmen on all subjects or mutual interest. If the employers were as well organized as the men it was agreed that the question. Would 1t be ad- Vantageous, if possible. to unionize all shops? could be answered in the attlrma- tive. This is interesting as showing that there is in this trade no objection to ia- bor organizations per SC. but only to the abuse of the power which results from organization for the attainment of ends destructive of the interests of both em-

ployers and wage earners.

pioy ViS anu wage earnefS.
 As to the means to be taken within the limits of practicability to correct the eyils now existing in the trade from the de. moralization introduced by union rule: the following were agreed to: Fair deal. ing by employers and refusal to take ad. vantage of any mans necessity; a united demand that the unions shall be held re. sponsible for their acts; resistance to th1 boycott in every form: the abolition oi the barriers against the training of ap prentices by giving every qualified young man who wants to learn a trade an op portunity to do so; and finally, Try tt conduct our business along the line oi the Golden Rule. eliminating selfishnes: as controlling power"
 From this brief synopsis of the conclu sions of a representative body of employ CTS, the thoughtful workingman may learn a great deal of immediate and permanent advantage to himself Among other things he might learn that the temperate discussion of such subjects is more profit able than incorporate discussion; that employers are not public enemies to de- spoil whom is to render society a service, and that there is another point of view from that usually taken by the profess sional agitator and that from this point of view much may be seen that is worth looking at.

FRESHMEN UNITED.
'The Most Momentous Event in tue
 History of Living Irishmen."

History of Living Irishmen." Baltimore News
 Unanimous acceptance by the Irish national convention of the Irish land bill at Dublin makes almost certain Irish land legislation Tn the near future. An attempt will be made To nave the bill amended fin some particulars but this work has been left in the hands of John Redmond and William o'Brien, friends or the bill Wonderful harmony was shown throughout the meeting. It looks as though the Irish had finally decided to cease fight ing among themselves and tc use their energies in hghting their enemies John Redmond was the hero of the meeting but his popularity vas shared by Michael Davitt, who opposed the land bill. but yielded his personal pre- delictions fin the interest of harmony.
 MT. Redmond warned the delegates present Of the responsibility which would be assumed by anybody who should oppose the present bill and renew the land war. This convention D he said, lis tho most solemn, the most mo- mentous event in the history of living Irish- men with the exception of the introduction ot the home rule bill. There are in the lives Of nations. as there are in the lives of IndiVid lals, opportunities which once lost can never be regained. Such an occasion I be. lieve the present to be. I hope that no man Will advocate renewing the struggle of the land war without knowing what that renewal means-the indefinite delay of industrial and economic welfare and even of political free dom. No man must dare to do that unless he is willing to take his share nt the terrible fight which would be involved by a refusal of the bill"
 Everybody who heard this warning note needed 1t well. Patrick White. who moved th2 rejection of the bil got 6 respectful hear ing, but the way in which his motion was re- jected emphasized the unity of the meeting Michael Davitt showed that he Is still the idol of large section of the Irish people The way in which his opposition speech was rHceived indicated that he could have divided the assemblsge, but he wisely recognized the supreme need of the hour and desisted The Irish land bill will probably have a trial. The outlook is brighter for Ireland than it has been for many years.
