How about that agreement (befOIe
electian) to close the saloons (after cleo
tiOn) at midnight? Some were foolish
enough to consider the agreement" a
good substitute for closing Ordinanc e.
Yet two of Watert0Wn's best citizens
had the audacity to appear before the
city council in the interest of such an
ordinance. Here, it is not so much ''the
way Of the transgressor is hard" as it
the upright citizen who dares to protest
against the ring rule, which considers
wine rooms. stalls, ail-night-saio0ns,
street braWls, shady characters and
questionable places of greater import to
the well being Of the community.
The renewal Of the gas and electric
light franchise is a problem with which
the city council will soon have to Crap
pie. The members thereof should re-
member that there is more to be CON
sidered than the mere lighting Of the
steeets. rhe council should take the
public into their confidence. The cost
to the individual consumers should be
taken into account. There should be a
thorough comparison Of rates charged
in other cities throughout the state. 1t
is chance for the members of the city
council to do their constituents valu-
able service.

LABOR COMMITTEE REPORTS
AGAINST TAYLOR SYSTEM.

Washington-Co Congressman w. B. Will
son, labors able champion in the house
of representatives, and chairman of the
house labor committee, has Just pre-
sented to the house an unfavorable re-
port against the Taylor and other sys-
tens of shop management. The report
of the committee is unanimous and will
be of inestimable value to the working
people of our country. Under the guild
ance of Chairman Wilson a thorough
and comprehensive study of efficiency
systems was made. The report handles
the subject in a vigorous manner, going
to the root of the subject, one portion of
which is hereby reproduced, its philos-
ophy being unassailable: There is a
margin between the work performed by
the loafer and the maximum task for
man, and in that margin lies proper
days work. What constitutes reason
able days work can only be determined
by practical experience and intelligent
observation. 1t can not be wholly de-
termined by a stop watch or any other
time measuring instrument used only for
"a brief period of time. By the stop
watch you may be able to determine the
time in which a piece of work can be
done, but you do not thereby alone de-
termine the length of time in which it
ought to be done. The time study of
the operations of any machine can be
made with reasonable degree of accur-
acy, because all of the elements can be
taken into consideration in making the
computation. machine is an mani
mate thing-it has no life, no brain, no
sentiment and no place in the social
order. With a workman it is different.
He is living, moving, sentient, social
being; he is entitled to all the rights,
privileges, opportunities and respectful
consideration given to other men. He
would be less than a man If he did not
resent the introduction of any system
which deals with him in the same way
as a beast of burden or an inanimate
machine. In making a time study of the
operations of a workman, all of the ele-
ments can not be taken into considera-
tion and consequently the computation
can not be made with mathematical ac-
curacy. There is no work that can be
performed or that is performed, that is
not preceded by mental process on the
part of the workman. The more skill
needed in the work the greater the men,
tai process which precedes the express
sion of it. So far as your committee has
been able to learn, there is no method
known to scientific management by
which time study can be made of the
mental process preceding the physical
act. The elements of the mental process
not being susceptible of determination
by a stop-watch time study, the study OF
itself must consequently be inaccurate
and the workmen are justified in object
ing to such a time study being used as
a basis upon which to compute their
days work and compensation when in
their judgment injustice is done them
thereby"

lowing:
Home industry week has been inaugur-
ated by the Chamber of Commerce and

for the superstructure of home industry? :?
Stop and think. Ask yourself. Good,
competent help, working under good con-
ditions Good conditions are fair wages
and fair hours.
Where do you find those conditions? :?
Among the union men and women of the
city and state.
The Stage Employees of this city can
build you anything in their particular
craft; theater and the scenery to be
used in it, the furniture, properties, cleo
trical effects, ETC. We can build floats

COAL MINERS OF THE WORLD.

Washington-From England comes the
news that the British coal strike is eff
fective and that with each succeeding
hour matters are becoming more serious.
Efforts are being put forth by the gov
ernment to bring the operators and min
ers to the point where an adjustment
can be reached, and apparently progress
is being made, for each side has modi-
fed it's original position. The estimated
number of workmen affected by the Brit
ish strike is approximately 100000.
The most perfect order is attending the
strike, not a single instance being re-
ported of any conflict anywhere in the
strike zone. In Germany there are over
100000 men out, with the situation be-
coming serious, owing to the rigid meas
ures of the authorities. Germany is
typical military government and on the
least provocation the military arm of the
government is called into action, and IS
no doubt in this instance provoking dis
turbances The anthracite operators and
the United Mine Workers of America,
while not having broken off negotiations
entirely, yet the demands of the miners
have been formerly rejected. The agree
ments extending over a large portion OF
the bituminous coal fields and the an
thracite fields expire upon the same date.
The Iowa miners are now in session and
it is predicted that they will ask for an
increase in wages. The outlook is not
encouraging for a satisfactory agree
ment before the expiration of these con-
tracts, and it appears at this time as If
cessation of work would take place on
April /, involving approximately 100000
miners.

Washington-Senate bill No. 3175, en-
titled ito regulate the immigration of
aliens and the residence of aliens in the
United States" provides a loophole
whereby Chinese can enter this country
without let or hindrance. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor submitted the
bill to its attorneys for an opinion as to
its meaning and in reply the attorneys
in substance state that if the pending
bill becomes operative in its present
form the right of Chinese to come to this
country will be absolutely unrestricted"
Upon receiving this opinion objection
was filed with the immigration commit
tee of the senate, protesting against the
provisions contained in the bill which
would permit the indiscriminate immi-
grafton of Chinese.

AMALeAMATIoN TO TAKE PLACE

Washington-The general secretary OF
the Amalgamated Wood Workers Inter
national union, John G. Meiler, has re-
mitted to the office of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor the final per capita tax
for that organization. In transmitting the
tax Mr. Meiler informs Secretary Morri-
son that the terms of amalgamation
agreed to between the Amalgamated
Wood Workers and the Brotherhood of
Carpenters have been overwhelmingly
accepted by the Amalgamated Wood
Workers, the vote being 1872 for and
$50 against. Thus the amalgamation be
tween these organizations will shortly
become an accomplished fact.

Westinghouse number of firms and
corporations which furnish the govern
ment with various kinds of supplies,
which would eventually come under the
operation of the eight-hour law, have ap-
peared before the senate labor commit
tee, protesting against the passage of
the eight-hour law. The bill now be-
fore the senate committee passed the
house some weeks ago. The gist of the
argument presented by these firms was
that it would be extremely difficult for
the government to get bids If the eight
hour day was inaugurated. This view
has already proven to be fallacious.

THEATER UNFAIR.

The Grand Opera house, Pueblo, under
lease by the Swanson Film company,
Denver, was declared unfair to organized
labor by the Pueblo Trades Assembly,
Wednesday. The secretary of the State
Federation of Labor was notified, and,
according to the motion passed, re-
quested to send notices to this effect to
all affiliated unions throughout the state.
The Swanson people have nearly hun
dred customers in the state, and are
threatened, through this procedure, to
be seriously hampered in the distribution
of their films
Following this action, the company
appealed to F. G. Lemaster, seventh vice
president of the Stage Employees inter
national, and member of the Denver
local Lemaster wired the business
agent of the Pueblo Stage Employees
union and the officials of the Motion Pic
ture Operators local to withdraw the
charge, pending the action of the gen
eral executive board of the |. A. T. S. f..
which is in session in Chicago.

LODGE NEWS

Members of the four lodges of the
Try, Charity of Calumet, Laurunl, Han
cock and Columbia of Houghton are
making arrangements to charter spe-
cial train for visit to Chassell lodge
Of Chasscll i'm the near future, pos
sibly during the week OF May 81. This
proposal was made at the iast regular
meeting of Charity lodge and the mem-
bers of Laurium lodge joined enthusl-
asticaIly when it was presented 20
them by a special committee Monday
- evening. A joint committee Of the
two lodges will wait on the members of
Hancock and Houghton lodges at their
meetings this week. to enlist their
cooperation.
Although the Chassell Pythians are
among the most enthusiastic in the
state and frequently attend the social
sessions held by the different lodges
in the copper country, their fraternal
visits have rarely been returned be-
cause Of the great disIance to Chasseil.
Now the local lodges plan 10 make up
for lost time by sending a party OF
from $50 to 200 members TO Chasseli.
\ special train viii he chartered over
the South Shore road and 1t is expect
ed the party from Calumet will in
cude fully 100 members.
The third rank teams of the copper
country lodges are making great prep
arations for the degree team contest in
connection with the Upper Peninsula
reunion ct Munising next month and
competition for the prizes offered
promises to be very warm. Each of
the copper country lodges will have
strong team and it is difficult to pick
the one with the best chance to win.
