STANDARDS OF LABOR EFFICIENCY

II is somewhat surprising to hear that
the chief cause of the Northeastern
Railway strike in England was the
mems objection 10 characterization,
by which was meant the requiring of all
employees TO keep up to the pace which
was set by few abnormally efficient
workmen. Possibly that rule does pre-
vail In America, IN some part with
which we are not acquainted. Judging
from somewhat extended and pro-
tracted observation we should say, how
ever. that the contrary rule much more
widely prevails, and that the standard
Of required efficiency is that of slower
and poorer rather than Of the more ex-
peditious and careful workers
Concerning the essential propriety and
equity of either of these rules, however,
there are serious doubts. II certainly
would not seem right TO impose the rule
which is reported from England, and to
demand that all workers should keep up
To the standard of the exceptional few,
for that would In effect be 10 require an
impossibility. Ii would be TO ignore ir-
remediable natural differences, and to
insist that all men in an army should
stand six feet six tall when their aver
age height was only five feet eight On
the other hand, ii is inequitable to for
bid men 10 enjoy and profit from their
exceptional ability. II man is able to
do five dollars worth of work in a day,

those wages just because some Of his
fellows are unable TO do more than

THE NEW ACCESSION OATH.

The new form of accession oath for
the sovereign is said now TO be prac-
ticalIy certain Of adoption. 1t has al
ready passed the House of Commons by
an overwhelming majority, commanding
the support of Unionists as We'll as OF
Liberals, and there Is no intimatlon OF
general opposition III the House Of
Lords Thus Il grievance will be abated
which. though more sentimental than
practical, has been keenly felt by many
ioyal subjects, and something approx
mating an epoch will be marked i'll the
development Of tolerance In the politico-
ecclesiastical affairs of the United King
dom.
The changes in the oath have double
significance first in reference to Ro-
man Catholicism. and second in refer
eHce to Nonconformity. The intent of
the old oath was to assure the indie
pendence Of the sovereign from the
Church of Rome, and. framed ia days of
bitterness and intolerance, it was made
to contain not only that assurance but
also an unsparing denunciation of
certain essential doctrines of that
Church But now the British people,
while as determined as ever TO main
tain the Protestant succession, realize
that an accession or coronation oath is
rot an ecclesiastical polemie, and are
satisfied with simply an unequivocal
declaration that the sovereign is "a
faithful Protestant That ought to be
quite satisfactory all around. Protest
ocl- a
their sovereign shall be faithful
Protestant, and Roman Catholics cannot
object to the sovereign of a Protestant
country being a Protestant any more
than ProteStants can TO the SOFereigns
cf Roman Catholic countries being Ro-
man Catholics.
The ether significance of the change
was unexpected and rs really the greater
of the two. 1t will be observed that the
sovereign is not TO ayow himself a
Protestant of the Established Church.
but merely q Protestant, which might
mean a NontonformiSt of any of half a
dozen denominations. We rather expect
that there will be some criticism Of and
opposition 10 this feature of the oath in
the House of Lords. where sit the bish-
ops of the Esta blished Church. though
we should doubt if they were able TO
defeat it or 10 change it back TO the
original form of the revision, which af-
firmed the soYereign's membership in
the Established Church. OF course. there
are enactments and constitutional pro-
visions which establish the relations of
Crown and Church. and which make the
sovereign the civil head of the Church.
But it will none the less be most signif-
icant thing to have all mention of the
Established Church purposely omitted
from the royal oath, and the sovereign
left. so far as that affirmation is con
cerned free 10 be a Methodist or Bap-
tist or Presbyterian.
