A SPLENDID EXAMPLE

Los Angeles has taken the lead ot
American cities in many progressive
features, but in none more worthy oI
imitation than the one to which at.
tention now Is called. This i'm allusior
to the considerable treatment of city
railway employees by the companies ant
the uniform loyalty Of the employees
In return.
The unexpected and wholly voluntary
increase Of carmen's wages, as just an.
nounced by the chief factor in loca
electric transit, is matter of great
public interest. 1t goes far beyond the
financial consideration involved and
embraces a principle of great mo-
ment to employers and workers in every
industrial field.
For the third time the street railway
managers in this city have surprised
their employees by the announcement
of a substantial advance in the wage
schedule, BY the advance which is to
take effect October 1 the electric car
employees will receive, it is said, the
highest wages paid for such service In
any American city, possibly excepting
San Francisco, where conditions are
abnormal. Under the new schedule
men VINO are well seasoned in the SER
vice will earn, as stated, from $1OO to
1925 per month.
1t is the principle involved in this
action OF the local railway managers
that commands most earnest attention.
Experience of the companies proves
the wisdom of acting considerably to-
ward workers, without waiting for evil
dence of dissatisfaction, The compa-
cordance with President Roosevelt S
idea OF a Square deal" They show
willingness tC share with their en-
ployes the prosperity which speaks for
itself in the rapid increase Of traffic
and consequent earnings.
Such consideration is highly appre-
ciated by the employees. 1t calls for a
return in kind, taking the form of in
creased devotion to the interests of the
companies and hearty accord in the
idea of the square deal" Hence the
employers have the fullest confidence in
the fidelity of the workers and the lat
ter are encouraged by the knowledge
that their good work is appreciated and
will be duly rewarded.
AS a consequence of this harmonious
condition such deplorable scenes as are
witnessed at times in San Francisco
and other cities. resulting from strikes
b. street car employees, are entirely un-
known in Los Angeles. There is no
cause for such trouble here, conse-
quently there is no reason why union
of such employees should be maintained.
Each side has confidence in the other
and there is no place for meddlesome
trouble breeders.
If the principle here outlined we're
followed generally IN relations between
employers and workers there would be
an end of strikes and locl<outs and the
industrial millennium would begin.

Perverted Proverbs

It takes two to make bargain--and
lawyers to unmake it.
The widest colts make the best
horses-but they must be broke first.

LITTLE NEARER is MILLENNIUM

We shall have to live longer to see
whether the people through their repre-
sentatlves will adhere to their pur-
pose. The chances are against their
doing so. The politicians never tire.
The people are apt to tire. Politics is
not their living. 1t is the living of the
politicians. The repeal of no laws of
betterment need be expected, Slack
enforcement Of them, after a while,
may be. And creation or discovery
of new devices to finance" elections
may also be expected. In time that
will generate new abuses and new bad
methods. Then the people will again
arise, but the industry of politicians,
as a constant fact, will again counter
act the efforts of reform, as a spas
modic feature or force. This Is only
1905. Next year will be only 1907. The
millennium even after 1908 will be a long
way off.-Brookyn Eagle.
