a permanent board, in the constitu- tion of which the parties interested have had no voice or influence.
 When the 1905 report was made a year ago there were pending three unsettled strikes which affected Con- necticut interests; the strike of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers against the American Bridge com pany, brought to compel the company to cease the practice of subletting contracts to parties employing nom union labor; the strike of the Typo graphical union, for the enforcement of the eight-hour day and the closed shop in all job printing establish ments: and the plumbers strike in this city, for increased wages. The two first mentioned are still unset tied and apparently no material prog ress towards settlement has been made during the year. Both are of national or international scope and lall parties are represented by strong general organizations which are but slightly affected by local influences.
 The report closes with the hope for reduction of friction in the work ing of the industrial machinery and that the men of both parties interest ed may learn to differ without being enemies, finding that they hold enough in common to form solid basis for harmonious working rela- tions. If this much can be accom- plished the board thinks the work of the bureau of labor statistics. in a broadened scope of more than a mere gatherer of information, would be abundantly justified.

NEED OF ARBITRATION BOARD.
Temporary Board for Each Emergen.
 cy Rather Than Permanent One.

In the opinion of the state board of mediation and arbitration there is a question of the advisability for the state to continue any agency for the purpose of rendering assistance in the prevention and settlement of la bor difficulties, and the problem is treated at some length in the boards annual report to Governor Roberts for the year ended September 30, 1906. The board, which is composed of J. Hurlburt White, Hiram H. Fox and Josiah NJ. Hubbard, believes that the question thrusts itself to the front and demands attention, the is- sue to be met frankly and decided.
 "If decided in the affirmative" says the report In brief, "a second question follows, as to the form which such an agency should assume and the scope of the work which 1t should undertake. In the judgment of the board these two questions should receive the serious considera- tion of the incoming legislature. and in connection herewith it offers the following suggestions:
 First. The work itself is of very material importance. Whether the measure of success attending it be great or small what is accomplished is wholly beneficent. To put an end to the strifes end jealousies of cap- ital and labor might we'll satisfy the loftiest ambition. To largely reduce and limit these strifes and jealousies would be a great and satisfying work.
 Second. In this work some ade- uuate representation should be had of the third party in interest in ey- cry contention between capital and labor. This third party is the gen. eral public. in whose service both capital and labor are engaged Such representation will be had to some extent without action on the part of the state. through voluntary associa- tions, sometimes of a permanent na- ture like boards of trade or business lmen's associations, and sometimes merely temporary committees organ iized under the stress of particular lemergency. Excellent work has been done in many cases by such agencies as these. but they are clearly made lauate for the work which needs to be done. and the proposition seems thor oughIy reasonable that the state. as the ofieial and permanent represen- satiye of the whole people, should guard their interests by partfcipa- ton in conferences and deliberations designed to promote harmony and good will in the industrial world The board believes that simply be- cause the results of it's work thus far have not been as great as ex- peefed. it should not abandon its ef- forts for the promotion of Industrial peace and the increased effectiveness of service which would result from such a peace in the industrial snd commercial world There is sug- gestion in the report that occasions for arbitration may be best met by the creation of c temporary board for each particular. case the parties may agree. and Ia the conztftutfon Of which they both should take part Such . scheDe neeDs much Dors finely to provo occDDtsbls te thos> lwkoss interegts are concerned thAn

The vast growth of this country attracts the wonder of the entire world, and it is not surprising if we, as Americans, become little inflated, and boast of our being a world pow CT in more senses than one. It is conservatively estimated that the to- tai value of agricultural and manu- featuring products. and the output of our mines for the year 1906 will reach $23. 100000. That is more than all the world produced less than forty years ago. As a larger per cent of our population is engaged in farming than in any other pursuit, it will be interesting to note that In fifteen years, or since 1890, the value of farm properties has increased from SlG,- ss2. 100000 to S2s,oOO. 100000 and the value of farm products in the same time has jumped from q, ,466. .O0o. 900 to S.sO0.OO,o0O, gain of nearly 800 per cent. Take our experts: In 1890 agricultural exports amounted to ss30.Oco.o0o and in 1906 to s97e.- Op0.OO0. In the same time manufac- tured exports increased from s151.- Oo0.0n0 in 1890 10 s6o3. 100000 in 1906. It is confidently predicted that our agricultural experts in 1s01 will pass the billion dollar mark. Great as has been the growth of our manu- featuring industries. and the tremen- duous strides we have made in that direction agriculture still leads by a large margin in the matter of exports. Nearly sll the world is made tribu. tory to the United States and the new era that is promised when we have a merchant marine equal to the de mands of our ocean carrying trade, will soon capture the rest of the world for our market.

 A story Is told of a poet who came to the metropolis with a completed epic. This found no acceptance. so after cursing the stupidity of the pub lie and the publishers he took to writ ing Sunday stuff." Soon the matter of fact attitude of the workers around him, with the practical view of the market he acquired. led him to doubt the literary value of the work he had done In the sentimental atmosphere of his native place.
