ANTI.STRIKE LEGISLATION.

Mr.. Asquith has failed in his efforts
first to avert and afterward to settle the
colliery strike In the United Kingdom,
and accordingly purposes to resort to
summary legislation to end ii and TO pre-
vent the recurrence Of such disturbances.
His methods, and the success with, which
they meet, will be watched with much
interest in this and other lands, where
similar industrial and social problems
arise and where similar means Of deal
ing with them have been proposed. The
precise terms of the bill which Is now
being prepared have not yet been dis
closed. but the statement in our special
cable dispatches that they are practically
identical with those urged by Mr. Asqulth
before the strike began Is sufficiently ex-
plicatory. We rehearsed those terms In
these columns the other day. and related
that they were three weeks ago declared
acceptable by a considerable majority Of
the mine owners, but were uncondition-
ally rejected by minority Of the own
ers and by the entire organizatio Of
workmen. They were renewed by Mr..
Asquith In his efforts of last week to end
the strike, and were again rejected
Now we are told that he purposes to
compel acceptance Of them by having
them enacted into law. That Is a coun.
sci of aggressive courage. Judging from
the temper that has been displayed by
the trade unions, however. we must re-
gard with much interest. not unmIxcd
with apprehension, the prospect of at
tempting to force upon the men the very
proposals which they have already twice

ELEcTRIcIrYs POWER TO KILL,

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In to-day's edition of your valuable
paper | notice an account on the front
page, OF an electric current fatality in Yer
mont. The paragraph states. incidentally,
that n current OF no volts is not sufficient
TO kill. This Is a false assumption. The
minimum voltage fatal to human life is not
certainly known at present. there being
obvious difficulties in the way of direct eX-
pertinent.
That a current of 10 volts may prove
fatal. however, has been certainly known
ever since the tragedy at the Fulham public
baths. in London, a few years ago. II not
before Here two men were killed within
few minutes by standing up In their re-
spectlve bathtubs and grasplng the brass
rails outside to which there was leak
from the 1lO-volt lighting circuit OF
course the circumstances wero exception
ally favorable The heart-acton Of both men
was weakened by the hot bath, and one
man. at least, had his foot on the brass
outlet leading 10 the waste pipe; l. e., he
was spendidly "earthed" In this case
there could be no question OF a leak from
an outside stronger current, which would,
moreover, be shown by the almost instan-
taneous failure Of the lamps in the circuit.
Any one who doubts this last statement
need only place a u0-volt lamp on 30
volt circuit.
Very interesting. also. was the case. u
little later, also In England, of man who
was killed while changing lamps on an
open circuit. but this, | think, was on Il
22O-volt current.
Perhaps should state that I, like many
others. have had countless shocks from 10
and 22) volt circuits and am still alive; but
electricians will tell you that It all depends
on how good the contacts, both with the live
wire and with EARTH" are, and doctors
agree that a great deal depends on how
strong the action of the heart is at the mo-
ment. A. q. Ia

SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
The Bonus as an Incentive to Do Mere
" a Fair Days Work.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial of March H. headeo
speeding Up Under Scientific Manage
ment," you make the statement that nav
ing determined what is a fair days WORK
for an efficient lahorer. the employer oners
a bonus for exceeding that work"
That, according to my knowledge, Is Just
what he does not do. Mr.. Taylor, In MS
book. "The Principles OF Scientific Manage
ment," says: whenever the workman sue
ceeds in doing his task right, and WITHIN
the time limit specified, he receives an ad-
dition OF from 80 per cent TO 100 per cent
to his ordinary wage" The bonus Is SIM
ply an increase in wages for doing WhaI
has been scientifically figured out 10 Dc
fair days work, and is not intended 10 Dc
an incentive TO overwork in order to secure
the extra wage. II is designed, however
to abolish the prevalent practice OF sol
dierng' on the job, and thus 70 oenehl
both the workman and the employer. lhis
correction will, think, increase the force
OF your good argument.

Is 1t true that students of comparative

some symbols. such as the well known
swastika. are found In all countries at all
epochs How about the cross? Was 1t used
symbolically before Christ? Does not this
use OF Identical symbols among widely diff

suggest a common knowledge OF the geom-
