THE GEORGIA STRIKE SETTLEMENT.

THE GEORGIA STRIKE SEI1LhMENI.
ON its face the decision of the arbitrators Of
the Georgia Railroad strike is remarkably Ialr'
Discrimination in regard to seniority against tle
negro firemen. which was the original and cher
demand of the white firemen, is denied, and dis-
elimination against the negroes IN regard 10
nav 70 which neither the negroes nor the whites
objected is abolished. The negroes will, there
fore. have their pay raised and retain all the
best berths, provided the practical effect OF the
ruling does not turn out to be something en-
tirely different.
In the dispatches, for example something
vague is said about putting a premium on IN
"telligence among firemen, which it is believed,
will ultimately result in the gradual elimlna-
"tion Of all except the most expert negroes
What sort of test is proposed is not made clear'
Perhaps the negro tremen will be required 10
read and explain section OF the Georgia con-
stitution. If the test is fair no one can object
to it, for the railroad should employ only COM
petent men, whether black or white
Another provision of the award is OF graver
practical significance, whatever its effect turns
out to be, to wit, the requirement that the rail-
road shall pay negro employees the same wages
that whites doing the same work receive. H1th-
ertO the negro has worked for less money, ana
that has been the chief inducement for employ
ing him. It is evidently felt that if the rail

employers may prefer TO employ certain pro-
portion of negroes because the negro is not
unionized and the prospect of labor troubles viii
be Iessened Moreover, white labor IS not abun-
dant in the South, and the negro may find his
opportunity for that reason. 1t is interesting to
see the first appearance in the South of this IA
yorite device of the labor unions TO crowd out
cheaper labor. With regard 10 the labor of
women in the North the unions have adopted
the same equal pay attitude: in unionzed
trades women must receive the same wages as
men. No doubt we shall hear more of the same
doctrine in the South. Its effect if generally put
in force would be prOblematiCal there. In some
trades it might mean preference for the cheaper
negro labor and the elimination of the whites
That would be impossible on the railroads, how
ever. since white fremen must be retained in
order to recruit engineers from their ranks.

The latest proposal which is said TO have
been made authoritatively at ST Petersburg.
for the readjustment of relations between Rus
sia and Finland suggests the possibility of much
agitation and opposition in the latter country.
1t is in substance plan to effect legislative
as we'll as q dynastc union of the two countries
by giving Finnish delegates seats in the Douma
and in the Council of the Empire. We are not
yet informed whether that involves the abolition
OF the Diet at Helsingfors. Logically IL should
do so; but II 1t should not, may at least
assume that IT would reduce that body to a sub
ordinate and practically insignificant rank. Fin
land would be legisated for at St. Petersburg,
where of course. there would always be an over
whelming Russian and, therefore, potentially
anti-Ffnnsh majority. The situation would be
almost precisely like that which for more than

were in the long run any better pleased with it
