SERVANTS IN MANILA.
Native Laborers Learning to Work
More Steadily.

From the New York Times.
One frequently hears American and for
eign residents of the Philippine Islands.
especially in Manila. inveigh upon the ig-
norance and carelessness of native serv-
ants and employees as examples of general
Filipino incompetency. But one hears SIM
liar animadversions anent the servant
problem in the United States. yet no one
familiar with our country would think Of
concluding therefrom that Americans are
inferior in industrial capacity.
So to get at the real Industrial capablity
of the Filipinos 1t, is necessary to inquire
of persons who have employed them on a
large scale through a considerable period
of time. and who are able from previous
experience with labor in other countries
to compare actual results. The most extern
sive experience with native unskilled labor
in the islands has been that of the large
contracting companies. This experience
has not been free from disagreeable Incl
dents Notwithstanding that these COM
panies had at their command the best
professional talent in the world and came
TO these islands fortified with ample ex-
periepce in great undertakings elsewhere.

adapt their former methods to suit condi-

In the northern part of the state. and a
few of them have already nailed the par
tial Scherr ticket to their editorial mast
heads, by this method producing an en-

County candidates throughout the state
are appalled, by the prospect of two state
tickets. They fear it will mean their de-
feat. The Scherr or Lincoln party man.

argument that two tickets will mean a
larger republican vote of which the coun-

Unfortunately for this argument. new

OF voters will be instructed to look for
the party emblem. AS the eagle Is the
recognized emblem, advice to some vot-
ers to look for the eagle and advice to
others to look for Abe Lincon's angular
features must inevta ably work confusion,
and the county candidates recognize this
danger. But particularly because neithe r
Swisher nor Scherr ever awoke wild en-
thusiasm among the masses as the most
eligible type of gubernatorial candidate
there is the plausible prospect that many
voters will jump to the rooster instead
Of halting between the eagle and Lin

will go TO the eagle. Consequently the
county candidates will lean toward the
regular state nominees.

to get the best results out Of native labor
and a succession of compromises between
so-called American methods and condi-
tons peculiar to this country and people.
With results rather than method always
in mind. they are evolving a system which
imposes upon the Filipino as much of
American methods as he can assimilate
and employ to advantage.
Under this treatment the native laborer
is undergoing an evolution. The man who
formerly worked an average of perhaps
three days in a week now will work five
or six days. Where he used to knock off
on every little feast day. he now lets most
of them pass and sticks to his job. This
change of disposition is significant for ii
is an indication that habits which have in
the past been SO detrimental to Industrial
progress are not so deeply incrusted as
was feared. but will yield to tactful appli-
cation of the same forces that elsewhere
stimulate humanity to new efforts. In the
early days of American experiments with
Filipino labor, If a workman quit in the
middle of a week. his wages would be
locked and he was refused employment
when he applied again. This system is
practicable where 1t is understood, but the
Filipino does not now understand II. and
its application caused such dissatisfaction
that 1t was necessary to modify it,
