Lord John Russell,

Lord John Russell was very small
man, Sidney Smith says that when
Lord John first contested Devonshire
the burly electors were disappointed
by the physical insignificance of their
candidate. but were satisfied when it
was explained to them that he had
once been much larger. but was worn
away by the anxieties and struggles
of the reform bill of 1882 Lord John
had no memory for faces and was
painfully apt to ignore his political fol-
lowers when he met them beyond the
walls Of parliament. once. staying in
a Scotch country house, he found him
self thrown with young Lord D.. now
Earl of S. He liked the young mans
conversation and was pleased TO find
that he was Il Whig. When the party
broke up. Lord John conquered his
shyness sufficiently to say to his new
friend well, Lord d., am very glad
to have made your acquaintance, and
now you must come into the house Of
commons and support me there" 81
have been doing that for the last ten
years, Lord John" was the reply Of
the gratitied Observation-Disclosures
and Recollections."

BAD FOR THE WAGE FARMERS.
Judge Grosseup Says Municipal Own
ership Would Lower Wages.

Government control and soperati0n
would also he found, | think. to have
a diSadvantageous effect upon the spe-
rial interest Of the laboring man. La
Dor sometimes gets less than the en-
terprise employing can afford to pay.
but labor never gets more. at least for
any length of time, than the enterprise
can afford to pay. Lowered efficiency
therefore means lowered wages. And
public ownership always has been and
always will be on this account attend
ed by lower wages The men who are
motormen on the municipal street rail
ways of Glasgow, for instance, get a
little less than l3 cents an hour; the
motormen OF Chicago get from u to
"a cents an hour The locomotive en-
gineer of a German government rail-
road gets $50 per month; the American
locomotive engineer makes easily three
times that much. And through the
whole schedule of wages paid by pub
lie and by private enterprises the same
difference runs.
Rut there Is still another side to this
objection. what may be called its per
sonal side. the effect of public owner
ship on organized labor. Much as la
Dor organizations have been abused
here and there by opposing interests
and much as here and there labor or
ganizations have abused their priyi
leges, 1t is in labor organizations that
the laboring man finds and will con-
tinue to ind the source Of bettered
conditions.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1907-05-17

Asking for higher wages the one
ing as one make themselves heard. So
that the labor organization is the Ia
borers' industrial protector.
But the many speaking as one must
have some one 10 whom to speak, some
concrete party with whom 10 deal.
Under government ownership that par
n would he the whole public. Let not
the ready sympathy of the people for
alleviative measures such as factory
legislation and the like be given too
wide q significance. for even there
the tas., was long and hard. nor the
readiness Of the public n side in at
times of labor strikes with the en-
ployees. In those situations the pub
lie Is an outside party, not the other
party Until in some public controlled
enterprise there Is a demand by the
employee for higher wages or changed
conditions. some demand that will di-
rectly cost the public something in dol
lars and cents. the laburing man is
without proof that the public can be
more easily reached than private en-
terprise.
Something in this line, however we
already know. Government servants,
from the highest to the lowest, are the
poorest paid people in America. Put,
man for man, against corresponding
grades in private enterprise, the presi-
dent of the United States against the
presidents of the great corporations,
cabinet officers against the managers
Of corporation departments. postal
clerks on the railways against express
clerks. laborers against laborers, the
advantage in every case is with the
employee of the private enterprise.
And this we know, too-that, though
the matter has often been urged, the
people at large will not listen to anF
proposition for increase of pay in tn
government service. Given then a
private employer or the public as en-
ployer with whom to deal. the one
thousand times more accessible and in
tinitely prompter to reach results than
the other. to my mind nothing is clear
er than that employment by the public
would be followed by a severe impair
ment of the influence and efficiency of
the labor organization and of the good
It has done for its membership.-Hon
