This year the officials Of New York

A GOOD INDICATION OF PROS.
PERiTY.

In yielding to tho request OF 5000
women operatives and shutting down
the works for ten days In order that nil
employees might crafty the promptings
Of the vacation spirit. great thread
company. In New Jersey has deferred
to the growth Of the vacation habit.
1t appears that the wage question did
not enter Into tho transaction; the
operatives were willing to take the va.
cation at their own expense. ana asked
only that the time might be granted to
them. As the number bent on rest and
recreation was sufficiently large to
cripple the industry 1t was soon de.
clded that the easiest way out of the
difficulty was to shut down altogether
for the short space Of time mentioned.
Not so many years ago tho period of
relief from regular toll was known only
to school children and to farmers. The
dullness of the winter months enabled
the farmer TO stop for breath and look
about him and to take the opportunity
afforded for such recreation us was ab-
solutely denied In the busy season.
Vacations" as they are now known,
We're sporadic and lnfrequcnt luxuries,
INDUCED In only by those worn out by
hard work or ut the point Of illness.
Employers recognized merely the fact
that Industries must be maintained as
long rs they are profitable, ana 1t was
the general belief that a vacation was
an ignoble prompting Of an indOlent
spirit and that only evil results could
follow a period Of ldleness. But grad.
ua!ly employees came to the opinion
that there Is something else In life
than the perpetual grind Of toll, and
that the ten days or two weeks OF alb
sence from the treadmlll are vastly
beneficial for the recupcratlon of en-
ergy and ambition. This belief has
steadily grown, and. Notwithstanding
the occasional outbursts of men who
liyeoply for work against the proiligacy
and folly of the waste of time, the
toller has come to insist that some
short period Of the year may he his for
complete rest and diversion. Employ.
ers themselves have generally fallen
into the spirit Of this movement and
have acknowledged that workman Is
not the less useful because he slips
away once year TO build up his physI-
cal system and obtain relief from the
pressure Of his business. II Is not
likely that the thread industry Will
suffer from the ten days vacation Of
the 800 operatives or that II Will be
necessary to raise the price Of thread
In order TO Recover from the effects Of
the temporary shutting down. 1t II
more reasonable to believe that better
and faster work Will he accomplished
by the workers rested ana refreshed by
their breathing spell, and that the adj
vantage will be gained by the employer
| In the long run. The vacation habit il
not the .outgr0wth of'lndolence but the
perception Of the joys Of living and the
appreciation of the effect Of all work
and 10 play on the historic Jack. 1t Is
also an indication OF the Increasing
prosperity OF the community. 1t can
afford to take vacation.
