AS illustration of what this means, I need
merely recall the comparatively recent incidents
at St Pierre Miquelon. a tiny French posses

1903. the Governor. in obedience to orders re-
ceived from Paris, closed the college long main
tanned there by the clergy and established in
its stead a purely secular school, TO which the
Inhabitants. most of them OF Breton origin. were
forced by law TO send their children. and from
which religion not only barred but in which

this. one-third OF the population Of the island
ernigrated. The remaining inhabitants. horrihed
by the character Of the instruction received by
their children, thereupon subscribed funds for
the establishment OF free school But as soon
as the two teachers engaged for the purpose had
entered upon their duties they were arrested.

school was closed by the Governor. No wonder
that under the circumstances the Inhabitants

SHOULD ARBITRATE.

The railroad strike now on is but q
continuation of trouble of long stand
ing. The demand for an increase of
wages was made couple of years ago,
but the matter was then arbltrated, OF,
perhaps, deferred for future settlement
Then the panic came on and there was
no time for a serious conflict. The
country has recovered from the effects
OF the late financial depression. The
wheels of industry are again in mo-
tion everywhere. There is no presi-
Dental election to occupy the minds of
the public. and so the question of in
creased wages has again been brought
to the front
The railroad employees deserve all the
traffic can stand. Their services are
of the greatest importance both to the
corporations that employ them and the
general public. The cost of living Is
constantly rising. and the wage Garner
thereby finds his earnings diminishing
in proportion to the rise in prices No
matter what the cause of this increase
is. whether ii is the growth of the pop
ulatlon WITHOUT corresponding in
crease In the production OF the neces-
saries OF life, or whether il Is the enor-
nous output of gold that cheapens
money, 1t is a feature of modern life
the oppressive effects of which are felt
by the laborers. Wages should advance
with the increase In the cost of living.
But the wisdom and justice of tying
up the lines of transportatlon-f that
can be done-and thereby causing stag
nation in the various Industries of the
country must, nevertheless, be ques-
toned. That is Furnishing an innocent
party for the sins and shortcomings of
another. The general public has no
word In determining the wages of the
railroad employees Is a strike iust TO
the public?
There is. perhaps. no other way al
present. but,the very injustice and ab-
surdity, of transferring the alleged SINS
