Mr.. Mitchell is also one of the chief Of

HOW TO HAVE PEACE.
What do you think of the employers
forming associations to deal with organ
lied LAHORE"
Il think it is only through the concerted
action Of such associations and of the la.
Dor unions that We can have Industrial
peace" said John Mitchell. Let the EN-.
ployers' representatives meet with the rep.
f%erences. and IL each is willing to do the
fair thing there will be few labor troubles
Such associations do great good
Yes. Mr.. Mitchell. but do they not com,
bine against the interests of the public. ]
NO" was the reply. The public will
improper combination or agreement would
be at once exposed"
How about the coal dealers and coal
teamsters Of ChicaEo9"
There is a proof of what I have just
said. The coal dealers and coal teams
tiers had an unrighteous combination
against the public. They combined to
success last? Only a few days. When it
was exposed the combination was brok-
en-. and it will be so with any combina-
ton that may be formed Besides there
Is competition. You can't have big profits
without it I don't care how large your
capital is. 1t IS the same with wages II
you put them UP here in Washington,
the Baltimore will rush in and
competition will bring them down"
$500 A YEAR NEEDED.
Speaking of wages. Mr.. Mitchell,
what should be the lowest pay for an or
binary workinEman?"
Every man should nave enough to
keep his family. educate his children and
lay a little aside for the future. Six hun
dred dollars a year is the least that
should be paid the unsktlled common la
bOrer. As the class of labor rises the
man should receive more. and the pay
should vary according to his location.
The ordinary man should have more than
$500 in New York or Chicago. Every man
should hav enough to supply the neces-
stiles of life, in the latter cities the
necessities cost more"
What would you caH the necessities of
the ordinary w~orkipgman, Mr.. MITCHELL
I asked.
'I think every man should have a house
with at least six rooms" was the reply.
He should have a bathroom. a parlor,
dining-room. kitchen and enough bed
rooms for decency and comfort. He
should have carpets. pictures. book and
bright and comfortable. He should have
good food n should keep his children in
school until they are 16. and at the same
time should be able to lay away some
thing for old age and knes The un-
skilled workman might have these things
for $500 a year In cities of from 5000 to
100000 inhabitants, but in larger places
he needs more. This is only for the COM
mon 1aborer. A the skill Of the man

IDEAL WORKING DAY.
"Row about the eight-hour day. Mr..
Mitchell? Can the United States be run
that way?"
Yes" was the reply. I'VE should do
more and better work everywhere IL we
had eight hours only. Such matters must
Je considered as a longtime proposition.
There is SO much work in every man and
II you take too much N day you will
have so much less for the days to come.
One of the college professors puts it this
way: II you want to get all you can out
of a man for one day only. work him the
get all you can out Of him for a week
only. work him twenty hours a day; If
for a month. give him eighteen hours.
and nee sDf him il ys al it, "o II y oam w nlase to h %ork
him several years. let him have the ten
hour day: But If you want to get the most
out OF him for his whole working life
time you must cut his hours Of labor to
eight per day. The fact is that a man
can do n does do more work in eight
hours than in ten"
Yes" was the reply. I'm the Illinois

produced as much as the ten-hour time"
But was that due to the freshness Of

TT was largely due to the freshness Of
the men, said Mr.. Mitchell. although I
viii say that the operators. knowing that
they must have a greater output per hour
bought better machinery, and thereby i'm
proved the facilities Of rapid mining"
There Is no doubt but that the eight
hour day reduces drunkenness" Mr..
Mitchell e on "In those towns in ILL.,
nois where 1t has been adopted there Is
nnUr n fOhn~ ~ Wv mn ~A
the same time less drunkenness and fewer
saloons. This is so Notwithstanding
wages v risen. The man who works

no condition for rational enjoyment. and

But will not less hours be demanded If
eight hours are given?" l asked.
I think not" was the reply; Il do not
expect to see less than an eight-hour day
In my lifetime. We may have a forty-four-
days of the week and a half holiday Sat-
urday. That Is not unreasonable. Indeed,
1t prevails already in some branches of
work in certain parts Of the country.
PROFIT-SHARING NOT GOOD.
Speaking Of wages. Mr.. Mitchell, what
do you think Of Carroll D. Wright's idea
that the wage system will pass away and
one of profit-sharing will take its placer
II don't think it is practical" replied
Mr.. Mitchell. TT would be difficult to
make an equitable proft-sharing arrange
I think that wages Will rise as
time goes N, n in that way labor will
get more Of its share Of the profits, krt
