/ NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-sThe indus

even more far-reaching than was the
change from the Individual domestic

In the production of nearly all ar

longer have the benefit of that COM
petition which formerly regulated
prices and upon which all nations
have hitherto depended to insure
reasonable pDices for the consumer.
Some Of our most important indus
tries today are only nominally com
petitive, and In reality are monopolies
SO far as an understanding exists as
to prices that will prevail.
'These virtual monopolfes must be
controlled in some way or another. A
supreme industrial court will have. to
pass upon prices-disguise this as we
may. This is even a larger question

that the German Metal Workers asso-

the world. The returns show that
this union has membership of. 1885,

association embraces all branches of
the steel, iron and other metal trades,
and, while each separate craft main
tains it's own division, all are4under
one general mead. Thus the metal
trades of Germany are not bothered
with jurisdictional troubles. ::

Proposes to Put Employees Upon
the Profit Sharing Plan in
: :: H.. j zs-..sz Industry. T. -, I.

= "A system of profff-sharing that:
will be watched with interest by all
students of social and economis
problems has recently been inaug-
urated by. Sir Christopher Furness,
the great shipbuilder Of England.
Whether the plan will eliminate the
.troubl blesome strikes and labor dis
turbances which have harassed the
flrm and establish more friendly
relations between the employer and
his employees, is something which
the future only can determine. The
idea, however, appears to be good
one and worthy of a fair trial. At
least the union of workmen directly
interested has taken that view of
the subject and Is willing to give
it a fair trial.
The plan, briefly, provides for
the issuance of additional stock,
to be known as employees shares
The employees are to pay for such
stock by a voluntary reduction of
5 per cent in wages until the stock
is paid for. They. will receive guar
anteed interest of per cent on
their money thus invested whether
the company earns dividends or not.
If the company Is prosperous and
makes money, the employees will be
entitled to the usual dividends after
deduction of per cent for invested
capital and certain amount for
depreciation, development and sur
plus. -:
The scheme proposes to establish
what Sir Christopher calls a "Work
Council" to be composed equally
of representatives of the employees
and of the firm, to promote friendly
feelings between the partners in the
concern. Some radical workmen In
England have objected to the plan
on the ground that it will lesson
the necessity for labor. unions and
weaken them in authority.

STRIKERS NOW START

Their Struggle With the

And is the Most Powerful Method

= pressed Labor, sszs: :

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-That the
striking hatters have the best end
of the contest with the National
Hat Manufacturers association is
evidenced by the reports received
daily at the, headquarters. of. the
United Hatters. of North America in
this city. The strikers have adopt
ed a line of tactics that are unique
in labor struggles. ,...
The most powerful weapon that
they have employed is the opening
Of two cooperative hat factories in
order to supply the great demand
for union label hats. These shops
not only provide work for the
strikers, but prove to be strong
competitors for their former en-
ployers.
1--WE are waiting to see if the
manufacturers really mean busi-
ness." said Secretary Martin Lawlor
of the United Hatters of North
America Friday. IF we find they
are actually out for a long fight
many factories will be opened. In
fact, union men already. have start
ed two cooperative factories, one
in Danbury and one in Bethel. The
strikers tomorrow will receive their
second weekly strike benefit. More
than $4,000 was provided for
strike benefits last week, but many
of the strikers did not apply: and
much of the money was left over.
Since the payment of the first strike
benefits 10 per cent of the strikers
have obtained employment in union
factories. These factories are work.
ing night and day. The employers
have found it impossible to obtain
men from the strike breaking
agencies.
A large and successful meeting
was held by the strikers of Newark
district at the new Auditorium in
Newark Friday. Strong addresses
| were made by Raymond Robins, of
Chicago, and John A. Moffft, pres
ident, and Frank p. Shalvoy, vice
president, of the United Hatters of
North America.

and the trades union makes a speciality
Of the. social question as. It relates to
the affairs Of its members,
The average Socialist meeting is
also comparatively poorly attended. If
neither trades union nor Socialist
meeting can secure more than a cor

stances, why should the expected
that the church through: the. preaching
of precisely the same principles,
would be crowded. Moreover, quite a
good many Socialist ministers have
honestly attempted to preach Social
ism, but in practically every case their
audiences have been very small.
/ 1t has been insisted that If min
lister were to preach Socialism,. he
would lose his job, because the church
would not stand for the preaching OF
such doctrines. It may be that in a
few cases Socialist preachers nave
been requested to resign because ;, OF
the preaching Of objectionable econ

case it has been observed, tnat the

lated to break UP the Diamond Work
ers' Protective union. A number of

their admission, but the government
officials ruled in favor Of the foreign
ers. Every diamond worker in this
country is member of the union.

who purchase their product regard
their wages as being too high, and to

Commissioner McEwen Determine
ed to Increase the Efficiency

HAS SYSTEMATIZED THE
ENTIRE WORKING FORCE
Plans When Matured Will Make
Bureau Of Inestimable
Value to State. ..

ST: PAUL. Feb 16.-Our new stata
LABOR commissioner, Mr.. w. Nc
EVEN, Of your own city, Is planning on
q complete reorganization Of the state
labor bureau. He proposes to have
various lines Of industry investigated.
and statistical information prepared
that has never before been touched
This he intends to accomplish without
increasing the force Of the department.
by re-arranging the work.
For instance, at present, there are
two inspectors made annually through
out the state-one every six months.
Mr.. McEwen believes that one inspec-
ton is sufficient, and that the time OF
the men might we'll be. in part
switched in other directions.
During September and October, it is
likely the inspectors throughout the
state will be ordered to direct their at
tention to the schools, with a view not
only to securing statistical INFORM
alton relative to school children-pos-
s1bly including a complete school cen-
sus-but to aid in enforcement Of the
truancy laws; that all children who
are not employed with special permits.
be compelled to attend school, r
Mr.. McEwen also has a plan for.
preparation of comparative statistical
information of the cost of living In all
cities of the state Of over 5000 popu-s
lation. He intends to classify the
prices Of all staple foods and neces-
sites in each Of these cities, as we'll
as the wages paid in the different lines
Of employment. The information rela-
tive to the cost Of city life will in-z
clude comparative statistical inform
alton of the cost OF rents, fuel, gas,
electric light and power, ais well as the.
cost Of foods. &1 = sss5s
