Richest Family In Europe.

II is not generally known that the
imperial family Of Russia is the rich
est royal family in Europe, and de-
rives its vast wealth from three
s~ources-the state treasury, the i'm
perial domains formerly church
lands), and the so-called cabinet
properties" A writer in Harper's
Weekly gives some interesting facts.
The state treasury pays out 81, zoo, 900
per annum for the needs Of the i'm
perial house, principally for the main
tenance of the palaces and the officials
and servants attached to them. The
reigning empress, for example, has
an allowance of 100000 per year, and
the dowager empress the same. Every
child born to the czar receives from
birth to the age of 81 nearly $40, 900
a year, while the heir to the throne
receives annually, in addition to the
maintenance of palaces, 1000.
Daughters receive a dowry of one
million rubles when they marry.

TRADE UNIONISM
Its Methods and Its Goal.

THE trade union enables the fair en-
i ployer-who, like the fair %unionist,
predominates-to estimate his labor
IN a living basis. This system is a
good deal preferable to figuring on
what his unfair competitor can pro-
cure his cheapest help for. Not only
that, but 1t Is a protection for the mer-
chant. It enables the trade unionist
to live as becomes an American citi-
zen, and has a powerful influence In
procuring fair compensation for the in
dividual whose conscience will not
permit him to join any combination In
this free CD competitive age. Again,
the union headquarters act as a clear
ing-house for the employer. 1t is o
venient to send there for additional
help.
The trade union is not fiawless by
any 1t Is a good deal easier
to tear down than to build up. but the
latter course applied with intelligence
to the labor movement will overcome
many of its deficiencies. The gains
are greater than the losses. While the
dominant trait Of human nature is
selishness. Just so long will We find
both sides endeavoring to get the best
Of the industrial situation. The trade
union has come to stay. 1t is a natural
outgrowth of ~present-day conditions.

What Has Been Done

WHAT are the reforms that union
W labor is addressing itself to in
its effort to reach the good time com
ing, and what means are being I'm.
ployed? In the first place it should be
noted we have come a long way al
ready. The hours Of labor have been
reduced from sunrise and sunset to
ten and then to eight hours; Chinese
immigration has been stopped, as al
so the importation Of contract labor;
the sweatshop has been eliminated in
large measure and wages have been
advanced. That is worth while. We
have undertaken to abolish child la
Dor and will not cease until 1t is &C.
complished and the child SEN to
school. These are some Of the things
we are working to accomplish. We
wish to secure the initiative and refer
endum and we are diligently at work
in every state to that end. The work
is progressing excellently. The mi
tiative and referendum once secured it
will form an effective means toward
other reforms.

Aim of the Future

WHAT has been accomplished? The
w history Of the labor movement
during the last quarter Of a century
parallels in action and results the no
blest of all permanent organizations,
that grandest of human achievements.
our republic, the United States Of
America. 1t has, by the unselfsh,
honest, energetic effort of her leaders;
the stability and fundamental right
of her cause. destroyed the
barriers of ignorance and disdain, the
injustice of ~prejudiced critics, and has
made the great mass Of the people be-
levers in the sincerity and stability Of
its principles.
What has the future In store? II the
history Of the past acts as the guide
for the future-and I know Of no bet
ter guide than the lamp of experience
the results to be accomplished can
not but accord and merit q proper
position in the progress and prosper
ity of our country. and be the factor
for the preservation of the rights and
ideals of q free and enlightened poo
pie. When the future records the
achievements Of the past; when the
impartial verdict Of the great events
is rendered, the shape Of its efforts
weighed in the balance will be nj
mean proportion of the whole.
Determination of public issues In the
referendum of public opinion is the
aim of the f~uture.-Peter w. Collins,
President OF the Boston Central Labor
Union.
