A Progressive Remedy


 The hotel and restaurant business in New York is threatened with the second serious tie-up within a year Garment workers in different parts of the country out. More strikes have occurred in the hotel workers and garment workers trades re- gently than any other, for which fact there must be some peculiar which doesn't have to go far to find. The workers of both trades poorly paid working conditions, especially with reference to sanitation, generally bad.
 Another peculiarity of the strikes in these trades is their suddenness and the rapidity with which they spread from point to another like an infection
 A strike of the hotel walters and cooks in a large city at once becomes a serious matter the travelling public and expensive one, well, to the proprietors. A strike of the garment workers causes invariably great suffering in their own ranks and d derangement of the wholesale and in the lines affected
 Various projects, mostly utopian, have been proposed for the prevention of strikes. Among them is compulsory arbitration of which have not heard so much of It would involve the exercises of which is repellant the American citizen
 The minimum wage scale which was advocated in the national progressive platform, is the recognized progressive principles and which, cording the dispatches of yesterday, Colonel Roosevelt will urge upon the New York legislature, we believe would be an effective preventive of strikes
 The chief of industrial discontent is found in the wage scale The worker though cOgnzant of his needs does not know what scale the employer can afford pay He receives information on that subject his employer with suspicion if not unbelief Strikes are therefore dertaken blindly.
 To the employe the minimum wage scale would appear to be made integenty and justly. Even it should be disappointingly low, it would prob ably be higher than the employer would will ingIy, concede and the employe would have reason to believe that much the traffic would bear" As a sensible employe he would insist upon a higher scale that would destroy the business and deprive him employment.
 Almost any plan that would permanently pre- vent strike would to be welcome to the em- pIoyer. The minimum wage scale which might seem be higher than it should be, would still be a saving against ruinOus strikes such have cost the hotel and restaurant of New York such within the past year.

The Iowa Plan

While the result may be decisive, do not like the principle involved in the Iowa plan to determine whether that shall have equal suffrage The plan is leave the question exclusively to the men Iowa. We have doubt that the will for suffrage We believe that a majority of the and the of that pro gressive state would vote for equal suffrage and it is a matter that concerns them all
 But in the absence of provision for direct legislation believe that the privilege of equal suffrage should be given in the way that all privileges are conferred by law. If there any in Iowa who do not to vote there will be no suffrage law compelling them go the polls Those who do want shuld be given opportunity say that other shall

 It is his self sufficiency which is at the root of the cats mystery. He is strange and fascinating because he is without the gregarfous instinct That is the strongest common instinct between man and beasts, and man is superior only by the degree to which he has developed it.
