LABOR AND CAPITAL.

Many strikes and Labor disputes
would be avoided if agreements IN all
cases were clearly stated, without eva
sion or duplicity and adhered to In
4 similar spirit. 1t is but fair to la
Dor to say that is usually means ex-
actly what it says, and expects the
employer to mean what he says and
act accordingly. When labor, after en-
tering into an agreement, finds that
the employer is evading 1t, Is doing
things adverse to labor which were
not mentioned in the letter of the
agreement because they were not an
ticipated, it is no wonder that labor
"kicks.'
Employers, and especially large cor
porations, in making an agreement Of
of the legal mind to be devious rather
than direct. and to leave a loophole
when apparently making everything
as tight as a drum. The worker, on
the other hand, acts on the principles
Of everyday life and of frankness and
fair dealing between men and man,
and he seems to give him what he
asks, but which perhaps leaves the en-
ployer chance to hit him worse
than before. The employer hits him;
he then perceives that he has been
overreached and threatens to retaliate
with the only weapon at his command
"a strike. The employer, in return,
charges him with violating his agree
ment, the truth being that the employ
er made the arrangement in bad faith.
What is wanted is more frankness
more honor, more Of the Golden Rule
III arriving at mutual understanding
between capital and labor. Any agree
ment is useless which is not entered
into on both sides with honest intent
and the side which seeks to take an
unfair advantage Of the other is very
likely to have cause to regret it's dis
honorable course.

VESSEL WRECKED ON
ALASKAN COAST

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1s.-The
three masted vessel which is reported
bottom up on the beach of the Alaskan
coast Is believed to be the schooner
Pearl, which sailed from here Dec. !.
1904, and from which no word has ever
been received.
The identifying of one of the bodies
which came ashore near the wreck as
that Of George Fermerling, who shipped
on the vessel a. station cook, satisfies
the Alaska Goldfish company which
owned the vessel that it is no other than
the schooner Pearl.
If it is the Pearl, thirty-four men
were drowned. E"r

THE FUT1LITY OF LANGUAGE

From Gerald Stanley Lee. in the Read

The steam engine .(when one thinks

absurdity, as self-expression. The
sky laughs at us. We know it when
We look in telescope. Time and space
are Gods Jokes. Looked at strictly in
its outer language, the whole visible
world is a. joke. TO suppose that God
has ever expressed Himself to US in it,
or that any one can express Himself in
1t. is not to see the point of the Joke.
We cannot even express ourselves to
one another: The Language Of every
thing we use or touch Is absurd. Near
