WORK HARDER AND THINK MORE

WYNN bs3nNGn $\tN1 "onE
An English wageworker who has been
working In an American factory writes
to an English magazine and gives a
description Of American workers as
compared with those In his own coun-
try. He says; z.z.:s. .. -. >..-..
j: The men we're on: higher level
than the English wor kmen, but they
worked harder and longer. Sixty hours
a week, after the English fifty -four,
seemed very hard, although I was get
ting nearly double English wages. 1t
seemed remarkable. too, that, although
the day was so long and made worse
still by dividing it into two long spells,
with only more or less brief interval
for dinner, the work should be pursued
diligently from the moment of starting
until stopping time.
In methods of working also each
man is allowed to follow his own de-
vices to a great extent, anything un-
usual being noted with interest and
without the least prejudice. There is
always more readiness to adopt any,
thing new than to stand by an old
method. One noticeable thing in Ameri-
lean shops is the Importance attached
to ideas, even of the most trivial ma
ture.''

HOW NEW ZEALAND PRO.
TECTS FAIR EMPLOYERS

San Francisco, Jan. 28.-How shall
the fair employer, who wants to pay
good wages, be protected from the un-
fair employer, who refuses to treat his
workers justly? This is an important
question. It applies to every trade
But up to the present time New Zea-
land is the only country that has been
able to answer it.
New Zealand has solved this problem
by the compulsory arbitration' plan,
says Professor Frank Parsons in the
January Arena. It. has found a way
of levelling up and preventing the en-
ployers who paid low wages from drtv-
ing the others out of business.
A short time ago, in a New Zealand
town, AZ out of 40 clothing dealers
signed an agreement with their en-
ployes to pay fair wages and give them
an eight-hour day. The other seven
dealers refused.
The unions at once carried the case
to the Court of Arbitration, WHICH dis
covered that the seven dealers were

THE ExTRAVAGANCE OF
THE CONTRACT SYSTEM

New York, Jan. 2s.-For years the la
Dor unions have been demanding that
the contract system on all public works
shall be abolished. They ask that city
or state shall employ it's workingmen
directly and not allow a speculative
contractor to make a fortune out of the
workers and the taxpayers.
The latest report given out by the
City of London, England, shows that
the labor unions are right. During the
last half year London has had million
dollars worth of word done in several
parts of the city. 1t has employed the
men directly without any contractor
coming between the taxpayer and the
workingman.
As result. the work cost $129, 1000 less
than the estimates. Instead of being
called on for more money after the
work was done, the city found that 1t
had saved nearly thirteen per cent. Of
the money it had appropriated for the
work,

BISHOP HoRAN ON CHILD LABOR.

Scranton, Jan. 28.-In a sermon deliv~
cred last Sunday Bishop Hoban, in re-
ference to child labor, said in sub
stance: "Children, are treated almost
as badly under our boosted civilization
as they were in ancient Rome. We
have progressed but little. In Eng
land the children, were permitted to
labor from their seventh year, and it
was only in 1912 that parliament put
and end to it.. And nov. the action of
parents In this respect right here in
our own city passes belief. They send
the little ones, scarcely out of the
cradle, into the factories and breakers
and offend, by doing SO. not only
against natural law, but against their
own best interests. And small wages
earned is frequently .squandered in the
grog shop. This practise should be
stopped by the very strtctest applica-
ton af the low fro the men of the law
ton Of the law"
To these word we can all say: Amen.
