MEXICAN "skILLED LABOR"

The inefficiency of the Mexican la
Dor was under discussion by a group
Of mining promoters. "OA my last
"trip to Mexico" said one, while our
train halted at Jimulco, a dinner sta
lion on the Mexican Central, alight-
ed and watched the mechanic who
went from car to car sounding the
wheels with a hammer, presumably
to test their condition. He was a fair
type of the native skilled workman.
Just to draw him out a little | inquir-
ed: Why do you rap the wheels?' Set
ing down his torch, he stared at me
in amazement. Because the master
mechanic tells me to- he replied. But
why? ] persisted, What good does it
do?' I do not know, senor,' he said.
The master mechanic tells me to
strike each wheel, and l do So That
is enough for me- How long have
you been working at this job?' l ask
ed. Two years. he replied For two
years he had been going through the
form of sounding the car wheels with
out the slightest knowledge of the OBJ
ject of the test or the slightest curl
osity concerning it."

TEN RULES FOR SUCCESS OF AN
EMPLOYER TOWARDS AN
EMPLOYEE.

/. Always set good example.
2. Do not lie to your clerks and
expect them TO tell the truth to you
8. Command the respect Of your
employees by the integrity of your
business methods
A. Have confidence in the ability
of your employees until they prove
themselves unworthy.
5. Pay a just amount for labor
performed A cheap man is poor in
vestment.
6. Treat those beneath you with
respect, and they will return the
compliment.
Z. Do not waste your breath in
swearing and storming around the
Office. The same amount of energy
expended toward improving your bus
mess may make you wealthy man.
No amount of swearing ever sold a
dollars worth of goods or improved
the work of an employee
s. Be courteous and considerate
to all of your employees if you wish
them to be courteous to your custo
mers
8. Do not be continually finding
fault. A little encouragement will
often do more good than any amount
of fault-finding. Let it be known that
when you give reprimand it is for
just cause. Do not reprimand for
the same mistake repeatedly. Get
i'd of that employee, if once has not
been sufficient. A number of cheap
useless hangers-on clog the wheels
of business.
10. Be just and honest in the of
fee, as well as outside CT it, and the
success that crowns work well done
will be yours-Printer's Ink.

Senator Aldrich, Senator Lodge
Speaker Cannon and practically all
the party leaders strenuously opposed
mis- plan, and now the President finds
his pet measures being knocked right
and left, in spite of the concession he
made.
1t is, therefore not beyond the
range of possibilities that within a
short time the President will come out
directly for a revision of the tariff
and throw the whole matter upon
Congress. 1t would be popular
move so far as he is concerned, and
would greatly discomfit the stand
patters, who are chiefly responsible
for the present muddy condition of
congressional waters. 1t has been
the understanding here all along that
the President intended to come out
squarely for tariff revision after adj
journment, in order to place his party
in a better condition for the congress
sional elections in November. By
doing so before that time he kills two
birds with one stone.
