Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-06-19

Waterbury has a few auto fiends that should be given warning from somebody. A few evenings ago one went up North Main street at ter rife speed. Policemen on their way to business paid no attention to the reckless driver. It shouldn't be necessary to wait until these drivers run down some one before hauling them up with sharp turn. In France. a law has just been en- acted which punishes with heavy fine and several months imprison- ment any conductor or owner of an automobile. who having caused any sort of an accident, or who having been in a collision with any other vehicle or individual or object does not immediately stop and give his name and address to the police, or to other representatives of the law. This punishment is to be specifical- ly imposed, quite irrespective of the merits of the case itself. Thus. the offender would be liable for double punishment; first. for not having stopped to give his name and ad- dress, and second. for having caused the accident On the other hand, he might he held guiltless of wrong in the matter of the accident itself. but he would none the less certainly be punished in the first instance. In short, the purpose of the new French law, which will in all likelihood be immediately enacted by all other continental countries, Is to separate ly and specifically punish the chauf- feur, who, having been in an aeci- dent, runs away without disclosing his identity.

Speaking of the labor conditions in Austria, the Consular report says that there has been great increase in industrial, especially textile, strikes and lockouts in the last two years. This may be explained part ly by the better industrial condl- tions which make the need for la bor more apparent, the workmen taking advantage of this situation to better their condition, and partly by the increased cost of living. un- ions are increasing in number and activity and many strikes now in- volve a whole branch of industry instead of being entirely localized as formerly. These strikes have caused similar organization of em- ployers, and in many cases such movements are now answered by lockouts at their inception. In gen. eral, strikes are for higher wages
 
 and shorter hours, but also good many are for other objects, such as increased compensation for overtime and Sunday work, for early closing on Saturdays and before holidays, for recognition of the union and of walking delegates, etc. In the ma iority of cases the workmen have The demands for the recognition of the union also do not meet with as general a refusal as formerly, and this is shown by the frequent inter- vention of laborers' organizations in wage agreements. In some cases part of the wages were given in beer tickets instead of cash, and some mills made it obligatory for the op- eratives to take board and rent of their employers. Strikes to remedy these conditions were also success full. The longest strike in textile circles was in the latter part of 1906 at Reichenberg, and lasted over IS weeks. It resulted in the recognition of the union; in grant ing "Laborers' Day" May 1, as a holiday: in a compensation of 90 heller per loom when bad material is furnished; an increase of wages in various kinds of labor; tariff to be published on the wall; married women to be entitled to leave at 11:30: lunch to be brought to the mill by special hands; compensa- tion of narrow goods on wide looms to be according to special tariff; no new laborers to be ac~ cepted for a certain period after the strike, etc; while the strikers obliged themselves not to interfere with those who remained at work and did not strike. The government intervened in a good many of the strikes and lockouts.

There are really only two classes Of

class is eternally regretting either the
days OF happy poverty or the nnat.
tanned days of enjoyable leisure. The

be happy in the lonely drudeery of a
