The Mistakes Of an Employer.

In the Saturday Evening Post for
Oct. 20 Mr.. D. NJ. PARRY, the head OF
the Citizens Industrial Association. falls
into a common error Of exaggeration
and misstatement. The arguments of
employers should give no opportunity
for labor to assert that capital does not
"fight fair" If there is to be anything
OF that sort. employers should let it be
on the other side.
Mr.. PARRY says that what organized
labor is really attempting to do is to
compel the 100000 workmen not in
organized labor to pay inflated wages
TO the 2,OO0,oOo who belong to that or
ganization This argument is open to
several objections. For one thing, 1t
gives labor the opportunity to answer
by saying that what Mr.. PARRY and his
associates in organized capital are trying
to do is to make everybody pay inflated
prices for the goods they make. And
that argument is perhaps almost as sound
as Mr.. PARRY's. For another point, MIR.
PARRY is wrong in his figures. Organ
lied labor undoubtedly includes in it's
ranks more than 100000 workers, and
elsewhere in his article Mr.. PARRY uses
that figure. Nor have we in this country
24.OoOOOo nnorganized workmen. The
entire number Of American workers who
could in any possible way be organized is
less than 1890, 600. and that would in
clude all forms OF both skilled and I'M
skilled labor, including boys. cash girls
and domestic servants.
While we do not altoge ther accept
Mr.. PARRYs proposition that organized
labor is attempting compulsion Of
larger payment OF the organized by the
unorganized. we are in agreement with
him 40 far as the fact is concerned. and
have SO stated in an earlier article on
the subject. 1t is an indisputable fact
that those who have seized the power to
enforce an increase in their own wages
are making much harder and more severe
the conditions Of life for those who toll,
many of them even harder than do the
better paid. A far larger percentage
OF artifcially increased wages comes
out OF the pockets OF poor toilers than
comes out OF the profits OF employers.
This is one OF the facts to which organ
lied labor, which is quite as greedy as
organized or unorganized capital, seems
entirely blind.
Upon another point also Mr.. PARRY
deals in hyperbole. He says that Ain
order to support the thousands Of lead
ers and organizers In It's ranks Those Of
organized laborl, millions Of dollars are
collected out OF the earnings OF it's sub
jects.' The Federationist is the official
organ Of the American Federation Of
Labor. which includes in its ranks about
two-thirds Of all the organized labor in
the country. The magazine prints an

ASHLEY IN CONTEMPT.
Court OF Appeals Decides That He Must
Answer Questions In Moore wiz CaM

Answer Questions In Moore VIII Ca@.
ALBANY, Oct 2s.-Eugene /. Ashley,
an attorney OF Glens Falls, and president
OF the Hudson River Power Company,
received an adverse decision from the
Court OF Appeals to-day upon his appesl
from a Judgment convicting him of con-
tempt on court for refusing to answer Ger
tain questions in probate proceedings
on the will Of William Moore. a millionaire
lumber dealer.
Moore's executor oontended that Ashley
alone had information which would Lead
TO the discovery Of papers concerning
Moore's interest In the Van Rensselaer, Pc
troon estate, worth, 1t Is said, S20o000 Ash
Icy refused to answer these questions on the
ground that his reply would violate con
fidenoe between lawyer and client. He
also said that Re was sworn TO secrecy on
his oath as a Mason.
The court, writing an opinion per curlan';
said that the questions asked Ashley dld
not call for communication from Moore
to the appellant. but for information he
had obtained from other sources. The
court holds therefore that the appellant
was properly required TO give all his in
formation and knowledge on the subject
that did not involve communications with
the deceased man.

Columbia College and American
History.

Columbia University, which is now
fitly celebrating the l50th anniversary
of its foundation, is a feature Of this
great and niasterful commercial me-
tropolis of whose illustrious distinction
throughout its long history the public
of New York have never had due con-
ception and appreciation. No other
college in America has sent forth gradu-
ates who have held higher places in the
public and professional and commercial
life OF America from the time OF the
Colonial period till now.
First among these, OF course, is ALEX
ANDKR HAMILTON, one OF the greatest
men in American history. This does
not imply acceptance Of his whole po-
litical theory, though practically the
development OF our Government has
justified his foresight. HAMILTON was
a student in the Columbia class of l774.
Ten years before, in 1894, another man
OF high distinction in American history,
JOHN JAY, the first Chief Justice of the
United States, had been graduated from
Columbia College. In the class Of the
next year was ROBERT r. LIVINGSTON.
the first Chancellor of the State and one
OF the makers OF the nation Cow
ERNEuR MORRIS was graduated in l7es.
Twenty years afterward DE WITT CLIN-
TON, illustrious in the history Of New
York and the Republic, came from the
same institution. DANIEL D. ToMP-
KINs, the fifth Governor Of New York,
was graduated in 1875.
Seven years before JOHN RANDOLPH
OF Roanoke, an eccentric figure Of our
early history, had been student at the
college for brief period. In the class
OF 1927 was HAMILTON FISH, Governo
OF New York and Secretary OF State Of
the United States, and in the class Of
1918 had been graduated WILLIAM BEACH
LAWRENCE, one OF the most eminent
publicists produced by this country.
JAMES KENT, the famous Chancellor,
though a graduate OF Yale College, is
prominently associated with the history
of Columbia, In which he was the first
professor OF law, in 1898, from whose
lectures as such developed his famous
Commentaries on American Law"
With the class OF 1s42 was graduated
ABRAM STEVENS HEWITT. whose dis
tinction was contemporary with this
generation.
No graduate OF Columbia was more
widely known to the students of Greek
and Latin OF his time and long after than
CHARLES ANTHoN Of the class Of 1915.
As the rector of the Columbia Grammar
School In Murray street, which post he
held at the same time he occupied the
chair OF Latin and Greek in the faculty
Of the college, DR.. ANTHoN is remem-
bered by generation OF students and
schoolboys Of which the living represent
tatives are now becoming fewer. The
school in Murray street was great
school and DR.. ANTHoN was great
schoolmaster. Holding the second place
in this school was HENRY DRIsLER, Of
the class OF 1880. who afterward, as DR..
ANrHoN's successor in the college as
professor of Greek, attained distinction
as classical scholar.
We have instanoed only Columbia's
early contributions to the list Of dis
tinglished Americans, and only few
among these. The later alumni include

Novel Method of PoacleRs tn Catch
Ang she Game Fish in Easts
arn Streams.

Poachers In the Adirondacks and
ohter wild sections of New York are
taking trout by means of hook tied
to the end of a stick. The poacher lies
down upon log or stump above some
deep pool in trout stream and brings
the stick close alongside the fish, work
ing It ever and ever SO carefully lest the
fish should be frightened away, When
the pole is only hairs breadth from
the side of the trout the fisher gives
jerk, and, nine times out of ten, hooks
the fish. The method is specially de-
structive to good sport, for the reason
that it enables the poacher to take the
wary old trout thatare shy of the hook.
Closely allied is the method of stur-
geon catching which is practicedin the
Detroit river and some of the streams
running into Lake Superior, says the
New York Times. The sturgeon has a
way when II runs up stream in spawn
ing season of rubbing against every bit
of wood that may be fixed in the water.
The fisherman goes out in boat or
takes his place at a bridge with a pole,
on the end of which are tied three
hooks pointing in three different direc-
tions from common center. The end
of the pole he plants on the bottom of
the stream, while the other he holds in
his hand. When he feels the movement
of the sturgeon he jerks. The sturgeon
is hooked and grand fight begins.
