AN ANTI-sTRlkE SUGGESTION.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 7 noticed on your editorial page re-
Gently q letter headed THE Necessity OF
Strikes in which the writer. NJ. H. Tracy.
sets forth that strikes might be avoided by
the employer selecting a person who by
nature, experience and study should be
able 70 establish q. policy with the employees
OF hts company that would under almost
any circumstances avoid such an ex-
pensive and useless strike as has occurred. -
The writer has had some experience in
the employment Of labor. and believes that
the hest method of forcing an eupIoye to
live UP TO his contract is to make him fur
nish a bond. \ simple form of contract
could be drawn giving the employer the
option to discharge an employe by giving
reasonable notice, and the employe on his
part agreeing to give d certain required
notice before leaving the employer and
furnishing a bond TO live Up 10 his contract
As these contracts would not all be dated
the same day it would be impossible TO de-
clare a strike that would call out all Of
the employees at a certain time without
most Of them being forced to make good
any losses sustained by reason of their
failure to keep the contract.
By reason Of thereby avoiding strikes
the employees could afford to nav more
wages than they now pay. since thev
would not sustain the losses incurred bv
strikes. and, therefore such an arrange
ment would result in substantial advan

THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME
Discussion and Prediction Anent Direct
Primary and Registration.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
SIT: Inc term statewide direct nonl-
nations, used IN the Democratic plat
form adopted at Rochester, is interpreted
not SO much as an acceptance Of the
direct nominations method OF choosing
party candidates and committees as It IS
an attack upon the present system of reg
istration, by which, under the constitution.
personal appearance is required previous
to each election in cities and towns or
over 5000 population, and not required In
smaller places.
The Democratic leaders at Rochester,
in effect, served notice upon their Re
publican rivals that IN being compelled
to submit 70 the popular demand for a
direct nominations laws its acceptance
must be contingent upon a uniform state
registration law which shall hamper, an
noy and reduce the Republican vote in the
rural sections; even as now. the vote Of
the Democratic majority, as well as OF the
Republican minority, is reduced in the
metropolis.
It is regrettable that the grave ques-
tions now pending with reference to reg
istration, direct primaries, forms Of ballot
and a fair expression of the viii of the

trusted with full legislative discretion, viii
