Leads to Dissatisfaction.

"A time came, however, and point was
reached where 1t was no longer possible to
raise wages, and the awards Of the court
left the wages as they were before the dis
pute was filed, In some instances reducing
them slightly. The reduction of wages on
one hand and the failure to get an increase
on the other naturally led to an expression
Of dissatisfaction among some of the en-
ployes. But on the whole the workmen have
loyalty Abided by the decisions, and the
courts look forward in due course to a bet
terment further on.
1.-The employers who at first were dubious
about the arbitration law being a benefit,
would now testify to the belief that the ad-
vantages attaching to industrial peace far
outweigh any slight trouble that may
periodically arise by this measure of inter-
ference with their liberties.
''No doubt the court took cognizance of
the effects of the awards upon the whole
community. particularly as regards those
who were not members of unions: and
while they had to nay the increased cost
of ommodities and rents. they had no way
iE which they could get an increase in
wages. Doubtless the recognition Of these
facts has caused the minimum wage to be
fixed not so high as formerly, but at a
point which permitted of a higher wage
being paid voluntarily by the employer to
certain men for a greater volume of work
or for work Of higher class.
Provision for Inferior Workers.
"In the case of the less competent the
awards usually make provision, and any
man feeling himself unable or unlikely to
earn the minimum wage may, with his
prospective employer and the secretary of
his union, appear before the conciliation
board II he succeeds in showing sufficient
cause permit is issued for him, authoriz-
ing him to be employed at some rate below
the minimum wage. These three points
are considered of very great Importance in
prevention of sweating as 1t is termed,
and the discouragement of the jealous and
conscientious worker, and at the same time
affordine considerable measure Of protec.

Education Is Free.

Education" continued Mr.. Mitchell, rs
free, compulsory and secular, and is vir-
tually free from the primary school to the
university.
'The eight-hour day has been virtually
attained by both sentiment and by law.
The control of the liquor traffic is entirely
in the hands of the people. At the trien-
NAL elections the respective electorate
take a poll upon that question simulta-
neously with the election of members of
parliament, men and women being allowed
to vote upon the issues of continuance of
liquor licenses, reduction of licenses or no
license. To carry reduction of licenses a
bare majority Of votes is required. To
carry no license, "a three-fifths majority is
required.
1.-THE railroads, telephones and such like
public utilities are owned and controlled by
the state, and such things as the water
supply, trolley or traction roads, called
'tramways' in New Zealand, are controlled
by the municipalities. That would prob
ably be sufficient to Indicate the wide In
terest and power exercised by the New
Zealand people in government and munich
pal matters, which have so much to do in
determining the freedom Of opportunity
and the happiness of the individual and the
family life."

Employer and Employe.

Discussing the relationship between the
employer and the employe, Mr.. Mitchell
said important experiments, legislatively,
have been made. After much considera-
ton, following what was known as the
Seaman's Union strike, the conciliation
and arbitration law was passed. He
added:
The provisions for conciliation as time
went on proved not altogether satisfac-
tory, and in a number of instances failed
to determine disputes. In the original law
disputes had in the first instance to be
brought before the conciliatfon board. But
the law was amended allowing Of disputes
being taken direct to the arbitration court.
This had had the effect of leaving the con-
Citation board with very little to do, as the
parties to the disputes seem to think there
is saving of time and trouble In taking
the cases direct to the arbitration court.
The arbitration court consists of three
members-one appointed by the employers
association, one by the labor unions, and
the president Is a Judge of the supreme
ing as advocates before this court.
Experience has shown that the hearing
of these industrial disputes has a high edu-
catfve value and a force; the fullest. freest
open opportunity for both parties to get to
thoroughly understand the attitude the diff
culties to be overcome and the privileges en-
toyed by each. Quite large number of dis
putes have been settled satisfactorily by the
awards of the arbitration board. For some
years after the passage of the law the effect
industrially was to raise the wages
employers were inclined at first to look
upon the operation of this law a little bit
askance. and felt that it was an interfer-
ence with their freedom in Industrial pur-
suits. The, employees who took advantage of
the protection afforded by the law felt that
so long as theiN wages had an upward ten
dency the law was all right.

LAWS OF new ZEALAND.
Their Trend Humanitarian, So
cial System Altruistic.
WOMEN PERMITTED TO VOTE
Education Free, From Primary School
to University.
STATE OWNS PUBLIC UTILITIES
Court Of Arbitration and Cancellation
for the Settlement Of Labor
Disputes.

A study of the labor conditions in this
country is being made by Mr.. John Mitchell
Of Auckland, New Zealand. Mr. Mitchell Is
an architect and builder and a member OF
the Auckland board Of education. He has
devoted much time and attention to eco
nomical questions. Mr.. Mitchell was asked
by Star reporter for an expression of his
views of the situation in this country as he
has found it, and said he was much In
terested upon reaching the United States
to find the people here giving consideration
to two matters in which he is taking
deep Observation-Disclosures peace and in
dustrial peace. He was not willing to say
more regarding his observations, but when
asked to speak of his own country he gave
an outline of the general conditions there
along industrial lines. Mr.. Mitchell ex-
planned that he Is the superintendent of
buildings or architect for the Auckland
education board, which is an elective body.
The members are chosen by some forty
five School committees, who in turn are
elected by the householders of the respect
i've districts.
THAT fact" he said, "goes to show that
in nearly every concern of life the people
Of New Zealand, men and women alike,
take an intimate and very close interest.
New Zealand has extended the franchise
to women, and. speaking in general terms,
the trend of New Zealand laws might be
considered essentially humanitarian and
its social system essentially altruistic. New
Zealand has passed laws making provision
for the paying of old age pensions-that is,
pension of $3.50 per week to man or
woman who has been resident of the,
colony twenty-five years, and has reached
the age of sixty-five years. there being no
grievous offense chargeable for a given
time before having attained the age limit.
1.-THE factory laws are quite numerous,
and safeguard the well-beng of the work
ers. Apprentices are all paid about $125
given calling. The shop hours are under
regulation, and half-holiday per week to
employees is compulsory. The choice of the
day is usually determined by simple refer
endum to the shopkeepers in any given dis
trict to settle for themselves.

National G. A. R. Reunion Closes.

Veterans of the Grand Army of the
Republic, who have been attending
the 41st annual encampment of the
organization, concluded their bust
ness Friday of last week, and ad :
journed until 1908. Installation OF
the officers elected, adoption of sew
eral recommendations, occupied the
attention of the veterans.
The officers were installed by Rob
ert B. Beath, of Philadelphia, past
commander in chief. The encamp-
ment adopted the report of the com
mittee on resolutions, which recon-
mended legislation by Congress, au-
thoriZing the erection of a soldie rs
hospital in the vicinity of the Gulf of
Mexico, increasing widows pensions
to sl2 per month, providing some
suitable memorial for the soldiers and
sailers of the Northern army, who
were in the South when the war be-
gan, and did not join the southern
forces, and directing that widows of
soldiers, who lie in the national ceme-
teries may be buried beside their
husbands. These recommends
lions will be incorporated in bills to
be presented to Congress.
A resolution was adopted directing
the new commander in chief TO name
committee to prepare for suitable
celebration of President Lincoln's
hundreth birthday anniversary Feb
ruary II, 1909.
The thanks of the Grand Army
were rendered Vespasian Warner,
pension commissioner.

Report of the w. c. T. u. Sewing
School.

The sewing school closed Wednes-
day, Sept. 4. This summer sewing
school for girls from five to fifteen
years of age, has been conducted by
the w. G. 7. u, as in the past nine
years. This year there WAS an enroll
ment of 129 with an average attend
ance of Sc. As the Union Sunday
school picnic occurred on the first day
of the school there was no record
taken of that session. Beginning with
the second day there were twenty
girls who were present at every SEES
sion. Each of these were awarded a
dainty souvenir by Mrs w. H. Paine,
the uperintendent. Sixteen girls
were present at every session except
one. One of the twenty, Miss Louise
Merrill, has been present at every ses-
sion for the three preceding years.
The girls have worked on articles
for the Girls Home at Belfast, some
working on squares of patchwork to
be set together for a quilt for the
Home, Others making dresses, skirts
and aprons for the girls.
As has been their custom in previous
years they have devoted one hour to
sewing and the following hour to en-
tertainment, when Mrs. Grace Coburn
Smith, or some one procured by her,
has given instructive and helpful tenn
perance talks.
A special programme was arranged
for the last day consisting of recita-
tiOns and musical numbers furnished
by the girls. Mrs. l.. w. Weston,
president of the w. G. T. u, was
present and gave an entertaining and
helpful talk. Mrs. Philo Steward, who
has taught the girls some new temper
ance songs, conducted the music and
rendered one solo. Piano solos by
Miss Emery and violin solo by Miss
Elsie Bean were appreciated by all.
Delicious refreshments of ice cream
and cake were served at the close of
the programme. Although a stormy
afternoon there was good attend
ance, there being ninty seven chill
dren and thirty three adults present.
The success of the school has been
due in a large measure to the untiring
efforts of Mrs. w. H. Paine, who has
served the school as superintendent
for the past four years, and Mrs. G. F.
Paddock, the secretary, also TO the
faithful teachers.

Names Hunting Season.

The opening of the hunting season
for big game is but little more than
two weeks off now and those who us
ually take a hunting trip in the fall
are asking each other about the plen-
tifulness of game and what chance
they stand of getting big buck or
doe or may be moose this fall and If
the birds are going to be plentiful.
Ordinarily the hunters would have to
go into the woods and find this out for
themselves, but now the fish and game
department gets this information for
them. The department aims to be ac
curate in everything it gives out and
if it says game seems plentiful, it
means just that. The department
can't promise every man who goes IN
to the woods that he will get deer.
That is up to the hunter. From every
Indication noticed by the wardens who
spend nearly all their time in the
woods, and corroborated by people
who have been camping and canoeing
in the Maine woods this summer,
game is just as plentiful this fall as it
was five years ago. Notwithstanding
the deep snow and extreme cold of the
winter the deer wintered very we'll
and there are hundreds of husky
young bucks and doe which came
through the winter and are in the very
best of condition this fall. The sum-
mer was wet and the deer had all the
water they wanted IN the swamps
without coming out to the lakes and
streams. Because of this not as many
deer as usual were seen by canoeing
parties during the summer, but the
number seen indicates that the ami
mails are plentiful. Moose also are
plentiful more of them than of deer
having been seen in some localities.
Young bulls seem more numerous than
usual but few large bulls have been
seen. The game has scattered since
last fall, as it always does. The hum
tiers find it that way every fall. When
they go to a favorite locality where
year before they find it scattered.
That doubtless will be the case this
fall. The game is there, somewhere,
just as plentiful as ever, but is moving
around SO that it seems to have gone.
1t is the conditions of the weather
more than the plentifulness of game
that effects the hunting season in late
years. With dry weather the game
has the advantage of the hunter, for
the deer and moose can hear the hun
ter when he is a long distance away
and make themselves scarce before he
gets within shooting distance. With
wet weather to soak the underbrush
and make easy travelling for the hun
ter it is not hard proposition for any
body who is a good shot with rifle to
go into the woods and get deer.
The season of 1905 was a poor one, SO
far as the size of the game shipments
were concerned, because of the dry
weather and poor hunting conditions.
