CAUSE OF STRIKES:
Majority Of Labor Wars Due to Mis-.
management of Employers.

E.. F. Du Brul Of Cincinnati, COM
missioner of the National Metal Trades
association. who said at the recent
meeting Of the National Manufacture
ers' association that 80 per cent of. la
Dor troubles were either directly or in
directly caused by the employer, thus
explains his statement:
Il said in my experience with strikes
and labor trubles 80 per cent Of those
that had come under my observation
were directly or indirectly the fault Of
the employer. Citing Mr.. Davenport's
illustration that he gave me just a
few minutes ago of the bakers strike
in Boston, I should say it has been
largely the fault of the master bakers
Of that city. They have had an or
ganization there that had been apa-
thetic and Indifferent. That was one
of their troubles.
i ''In other instances that have come
under my notice there has been fore
man that has not done right. He has
mlstreated his men, and so on. The
employer is responsible for that fore
man. + know Of cases of strikes
(which in their last analysis are de-
institutions. 1t is a well known fact
that the better managed an institution
is the less liability there Is to strikes
in that institution.
+ II hope you will take my statement
in the spirit in which it was given as
a warning to the manufacturers that
they must educate themselves, that
they must educate their employees and
that they must educate their foremen,
their superintendents and everybody
else connected with the handling of
labor. And, above all, they have got
to educate the laboring men, and If
they do not DO it it is their own fault
very largely"

In recent edition of the New

writes the following interesting article,
which is well worthy Of serious thought
and consideration:
Did you ever walk lockstep with
hunger?,

serious question to put to people who
are never serious except when they

away from the comic pictures for more

It is not often that we talk about
hunger. Hunger is one of. those great
facts If life which it is polite to ignore
in good society.
Hunger is the ghost that haunts
every living thing.

AN IDEAL SHOE FACTORY

Glasgow :: Manu- acturers: Gives - HALF
the Profits to the Workers. ~
Il have decided to give you half Of
my profits every year in addition to
your wages said Samuel Gallery, a
Glasgow manufacturer, to his en-
ployees four years ago.
Since that time Mr.. Gallery has kept
his word, says the New York Journal.
Every year the profits of his big shoe
factory are divided into two equal
parts. Half of the money goes to the
employer and half to the workers.
Mr.. Gallery employs over 200 men
and women. He has always paid the
highest rate Of wages, and his factory
is unionized. He was the first British
manufacturer to adopt the American
plan Of making shoes by machinery.
One extraordinary feature in the
Gallery factory is that no work is done
on Saturday or Sunday. Every work.
er gets two days Of rest week. my
people do as much work in five days
as other workers can do in Six" says
Mr.. Gallery.
There are no foremen in the factory
None have been needed since the work.
ers were taken into partnership.
Though his factory has been running
for over eighteen years, there have
never been any strikes.
Mr.. Gallery says that his profit shar-
ing plan is a great success. His profits
are not so large, but profits are not
everything" he says. In recent short
speech, though he is not much of a
speechmaker, Mr.. Gallery said: I'VE
cannot take money to sthe churchyard
when we go there at the last and why
should We shorten our lives by a cease
less, wearying, tissue destroying strug-
gle for wealth? If we have enough to
keep us in comfort and happiness what
more is required?
NO; these past four years have been
the pleasantest of my life, and thou
sands of dollars would have weighed
as nothing in the balance against the
satisfaction and the joy I feel at hav-
ing done my best for the welfare of my
Workers-of my friends
