Greater Equity

THE eight-hour day is the greatest
l achievement of unionism, but the
original intention was not that men
should make overtime, but that more
men should be employed.
In the making of contracts for con-
struction work on buildings, etc., en-
ployers figuring on the cost of labor
usually consider the wage question as
the most important. The strong unions
numerically generally succeed in OBJ
tanning about as high wages as they
demand. This does not leave a large
amount of money to be distributed in
wages by the sub-contractors on the
job, who have to figure pretty closely
in order to come out ahead financially.
The result is that the smaller and
weaker unions cannot obtain as high
wages as their fellow-wOrkers in the
larger unions, who were provided for
first.
In my opinion, one of the most i'm
portant things to be accomplished by
the labor unions is to establish a more
equitable distribution of wages to all
workmen employed on contract work,
with due consideration to the cOntrac-
tor.-Jeremiah J. Donovan, President
Boston Building Trades Council

Employees Long in Service.

Probably unique among the pay
rolls of the country is that of the
Pennsylvania railroad, which, accord
ing to compilation just completed, is
shown to have 1850 active employees
who have been with the road 40 years
or more. In addition 1913 men served
the company more than 40 years. but
have retired from active work. and are
receiving pensions regularly from the
company. The census of the civil
service of the United States showed
on July /. 1907. that those who had
been in the service of the national
government for more than so years
numbered 40 men and one woman. On
the other hand, the Pennsylvania rail-
road records show that to-day there
are ON the pay rolls OF the company
316 men who have been in it's service
more than so years.

Trade Agreement

THE greatest thing accomplished by
i trade and labor unions since the
first Labor day, in my opinion, is the
settled conviction that the toilers of
our country can best conserve their in
dustrial interests by the application
of well regulated trade unionism.
The great trade associations of our
country have been to the commerce of
North America, through the applica-
ton of the trade agreement with it's
pacific purposes, what the Declaration
of independence was to the body poll
tic in these United States. 1t also pro-
vides for the logical settlement by
conference or arbitration of disputes
which heretofore were only settled by
the cold-blooded logic of force. The
discipline and effectiveness of trade
unionism, and, as result, the opera
ton of the collective bargain or trade
agreement is the greatest thing ac-
complished by trade associations since
the first Labor day.
What is the next step for the unions?
The next step for those who have not
already taken it is to make thorough
preparation and arrangement for the
full introduction of the eight-hour
work-day in all industrial and agricsl-
tural pursuits. Given more leisure
from the drudgery of toll, the working
man or woman will seek and secure
opportunity for the mental betterment
which will make them happier men
and women, better citizens, more
clever, prompt and alert producers; it
will cause them to look for better con-
ditions of life, all of which are emo
bling and will tend to the supremacy
of the nation which gives the best op-
portunities along this line.-James
Duncan, Secretary-Treasurer of the
Granite Cutters International Associa-
ton of America.

A conductor sent new brakeman
to put some tramps off the train; they

strong language, and then said he
would put them off himself. He went

LEAD TO INCREASED TRAVEL.
Detailed Maps Of Country Provided by
English Railroad.

It has long been the custom of Eng
lish railroads to display in the. sta
lions and inside the railroad coaches a
large and varied selection of pictures,
usually photographs, showing the
scenic attractions of their respective
lines. So acceptable have these
proven to the public, and to such an
extent has it undoubtedly contributed
to increased travel, that the Midland
railroad of England has recently in
troduced still another feature, de-
signed to inform the traveller and to
assist him in determining his routes.
Fixed in frames in the booking hall
or passage where the ticket offices are
located, or in some equally convenient
place, are large ordnance maps of the
neighbOring country, drawn to the
scale of one inch to the mile. Each
map is composed of One-inch ordnance
sheets, the entire area covered being
"a miles from north to south and SO
miles from east to west, thus giving
some S64 square miles of territory in
detail. The maps are of the contour
series, so that it is quite possible for
intelligent travellers to locate the
hills and dales on the route. In most
cases there is note on the map in
dicating the exact height above sea
level ordinance datum) Of the rail
way tracts at the particular stations.
These maps are attracting much at
tention, since they are not only serv-
iceable to persons travelling by the
railroads, but are often of equal value
to cyclists and even pedestrians. Cy-
clists, in particular, frequently get
their data for trip from these new
advertising maps, often proceeding
part of the way on their bicycles.

RAILROAD SETS $4,000 TREES.
Pennsylvania Company's Spring For
estry Work Is Completed.

In continuance of it's plans to pro-
vide it's future requirements in tim
Der and cross ties, the Pennsylvania
railroad forestry department has COM
pleted its spring forestry planting for
this year. handling $4,000 trees. A
total of 2,425,000 trees has been set
out by the railroad since it undertook
tree planting on large scale, making
the largest forestry plan undertaken
by any corporation.
1t was necessary to import much
European plant material, which, owing
to the degree of perfection to which
the European foresters have brought
their work, and the cheapness OF
labor, can be purchased at much
lower price than in America. This
year the railroad imported 2O9, 900
seedlings, of which those not large
enough to be planted in their perma-
nent sites have been set out in trans
plant rows in the new forest nursery
established this year by the company
in Morrisville, Pa In the seed beds
rs bushels of acorns and nuts, 80
pounds of other hardwood seeds, and
Is pounds of confer seeds were sown.
In addition 100000 seedlings were
planted permanently in land belong
ing to the company.
The company has begun the propa-
cation OF ornamental trees and plants
for identifying it's property. and in
tends to develop a large amount Of
shrubbery and hedges for the protec-
ton and o"namentation of the sta
ton grounds and rights of way. This
work will be continued until all sta
ton grounds and unoccupied spaces
ON the right of way are parked.
1t is expected by the company that
in case no substitute for the wooden
cross ties is found in 35 or 40 years
the company will have available a
large portion of the enormous supply
of timber needed for cross ties.

Steal car. in cre.t Wreck.

What is declared to be the greatest
freight wreck involving the destruc-
ton of steel cars occurred on the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad near
Meadow Brook, suburb of Philadel-
phia, short time ago, when, out of a
coal train of % cars, 10 were demol-
ished, entailing loss estimated at
100000. The train was thrown from
the tracks by the breaking of the
fiange on the one wooden car in the
entire train. So extensive was the
damage wrought that service was tied
up for ten hours.

Work of Education

WYE know that the greater produc-

largely due to its superior education
When that labor is still farther ad-
vanced by the higher education of it's

ferring the good wage and good oppor-
tunity of useful industrial employ
ment to the shabby gentility of a

g Sung Of gahur

A dream is on the people,
A light, not flame light. falls
Upon great broken faces,
These ruined human walls,
And at the master moment
Beyond, the soul breaks sod,
And angels in the hearts core
Sing gloriously of God.
In deeds that make men brothers.,
In acts that give soul,
Those destinies are hidden
That sweep us to the goal
But We, as gods are dreamers.
And we, as angels, dream,
We little apes with visions
That are not what we seem!
o heart of Man, what glories
Have never come to pass,
The dream that never Weakened,
The love that never was
The good, the great, the labor
o save the ways half-trod
Our lives flow corrupted
Into the life of God.
If, gazing on dead faces.
Our grief Is too, too wild,
If hearts of tender mothers
Are broken child,
o what might be that anguish
In God, who sees unfurled
Mans evils, for His creature
Is child of all the world!
o draggled souls, o demons,
o human sharks and snakes,
Free fight of savage devils.
o beast that in us wakes,
We, drunk with teeming power,
Have shaken the firm earth
Until her heart is rotten
And lost to love and mirth.
But One has seen our wildness
And over us is shed
Dreams. that lead forth our labor
Ghosts. that divulge our dead,
A pity, that is saving,
Tine tears that make pure,
And love, that in great hours
To God shall make us sure.

In a never dreamed of quest.

BONNIE VIEWS
MOST WONDERFUL

Bonines moving pictures at the
Opera House Saturday night were a
wonderful revelation. No such repre-
sentation of the volcano has ever be-
fore been given. The daylight picture
of a stream of lava in the crater was
especially realistic, and could only
have been obtained at great effort. The
night picture gave a weird impression
of the moving fire. The views of a
large party, on their way from the
Volcano House to the crater, were
wonderful
Other pictures were the funeral OF
the late Prince David, many island
scenes and some comic shows, making
up an unusually fine exhibition. The
House was sold out ahead, and the
show ought to be given again. BONNIE
has even improved upon the pictures
he gave before, as far as professional
work is concerned.
