What can this department do 10 better
the relation between labor and capitai?'
THE Department of Labor IS rather an
advisory department than an executive
department. 1t might be called a depart
ment of industrial diplomacy. Its object
is largely to act as mediator between
ca pital and labor in case of dispute, and
believe that it will be beneficial to the
community at large to just that extent
that it's diplomacy succeeds.
But is the laborine man willing to &C
cept Uncle Sam as his arbitrator?
II do not mean that Uncle Sam is to be
tho arbitrator. but that he is to bring the
parties together and to get them to mu-
tually submit their differences to other
arbitrator To be chosen themselves. 1t
would not be wise for the government to
act as an arbitrator, for the reason that
wrong precedents might be established.
The conditions in one place might not be
suited to the decisions to which the arbi-
traitor had committed itself in other
places Again. the decision of today might
he unjust in the changed conditions Of
tomorrow. Progress Is always being made,
and situations are continually changing.

saving. the berg be adopted the vessel
would have to remain at safe distance
away and receive the ice by means of
small boats or cable. From past eX-
perlence or our department. icebergs are
best let alone and guarded against"
According To the past exper- ence'' of
the revenue cutter service, iceberes even
as simply an elemental necessity, are
decidedly interesting, and the work done
in their locality by the ice patrol greatly
lessons the chances of another Titanic
disaster.
For the purpose of safeguarding lives
and property at sea the Seneca and
Miami have been detailed to proceed to
the vicinity of the tail of the Grand
Banks of Newfoundland and establish a
patrol OF the ice fields and icebergs
drifting down into those waters" So
reads the first clause of the instructions
to commanding officers of revenue cut
ters on ice patrol. April May and June
saw them conducting and completing
this work. for after that time few ice
bergs are left in those waters to be
guarded against, chopped up or towed
in. as suggested.
The duty OF the patrol consisted In To-
eating and reporting icebergs and fields
particularly in the vicinity Of the trans-
atlantic steamer E.ne. Vessels of all ma
tionalities profit by Uncle Sans warn
ings and advice. though the fact that
nearly IS per cent of the passengers-ex-
cepting the imnigrants-are Americans
makes this patrol not quite such a
sweeping piece of generosity toward the
other countries. The two vessels made
alternate cruises of about fifteen DAYS
each. and as Ii was important that the
patrol should be continuous the vessel on
duty remained at her station until reliev-
ed by the other.

A MONG the many rumors that find
~ their way to the Capital city Is
one that touches household
problem. The foundation Of this rumor
should be laid, II seems, at the door OF
man.
In that far north country he read OF
so-called ice famines In many Of the
cities along the coast of the United
States and Immediately his brain became
occupied with the old argument of de-
mand and supply. Huge icebergs not far
from his front door and an ice famine
to the south. AS a result this son OF
Norway plans, with the aid Of dynamite
and saws, to cut his icebergs into small
blocks and load them on ships bound
for the United States.
Possibly such scheme might prove
successful. but to chop up an iceberg
and pay for its transportation Is scarcely
to be considered paying proposition,

this berg was reported further south,
still surrounded by sea birds of many
varieties. but looking very soft and
dirty with its water line concave and
overhanging five or six feet and esti-
mated as approximate having lost 20
per cent of it's original bulk.
Il
The melting of the bergs is declared
to be very rapid after reaching the warm
er waters of the gulf stream, and 1t Is
these small pieces broken off from the
original berg that often prove the most
dangerous to vessels. The erosion Of the
bergs occurs in two ways. In one In
stance the waves wash up over the slop-
ing sides and the receding water cuts
deep gullies In the ice until the end
sloughs off. Again the end is broken off
by the gradual melting and cutting Of
the waves, and in this case long spurs
are sometimes left, showing milky white
in the blue water.
A cavern occasionally is broken through
on one side and the water PUSHES In and
out with a mighty roar. One large berg
sighted had small waterfall at one
side, under which it would have been
practical to hold boat and so water

berg makes queer shapes In the ice and
another berg had a protuberance on it's
side that bore such a striking resem-

Victoria that several officers exclaimed

4 berg is not a pleasant enemy to
stalk in the night, according to the
patrol reports, for 1t gives little or no
warning of its presence. Frequently the
waves tapping at its base are the first
thing seen, and the water seldom changes
temperature until within a ships length
of the ice. Sighting q berg In daylight

was In sight the vessel on patrol often
put in its time running parallel lines about
fifteen miles apart from daylight until
dark Occasionally steamer crossing
the line of the patrol agreed to take a
parallel line and send in reports. thus
saving coal and time for the service. A
French fishing fleet of 300 vessels and
about 1850 men passed not far away.

and two men, nearly dead from exposure,
rescued. The engineer crew of the patrol
at another time volunteered TO mend a
part of a broken TRAVELLING gear that would
otherwise have proved useless to its
owner.
In fact, reports found the patrol at
work in nearly every line of rescue,
but its chief interest lay in the ice
bergs and the monotony of the cruise
was lost when these huge things came
in sight. Bergs covered with snow
and frequently dotted with sea birds
were among those sighted. The beauty
of the bergs frequently finds mention
in the reports. though the type with it's
lofty pinnacles and crags as seen in
school Biographies seemed entirely
lacking.
The under side of one berg which had
cracked and turned over presented an
appearance as smooth and finished as
marble. blue vein ran through the
berg and in another place earth had
lodged on top and the muddy stream

How about work on the farms? Take

l DO not know about that. There II a

employee"
do you think We will ever have les.
than an eight-hour day."
That Is possible. There are some indus
tries In England where the day Is now
less than eight hours. This has been the
case for the past thirty years IN the coal
mines of Northumberland. where the men
have been working only six hours day :
: !.
Are The conditions Of labor improv-
ing
Yes. there is no doubt of that"
What would you say about organized
labor as q trust? Why should IL not h.
handled on the same ground as other
monopolieso'
II have already answered that question.
but / would say that an organization
should not be opposed or destroyed SIN.
ply because 1t is an organization. Tho
laws for centuries have permitted the or
ganization OF corporations. and such per
missions will be continued. The oppoN-
ton to trusts and monopoles arises he
cause they enable a few men TO dictate 10
the producer what he shall receive for his
production and to the consumer what Ia,
shall pay for the things h. consumes
This can never be the case with labor or
ganizations. Such an organization cannot
be composed OF few individuals II must
be an organization of the multitude. and
IL must be always for the purpose or en-
deavoring to secure for the producer
equitable share Of that which he produces
and at the same time II can never be an
organization which will regulate the prize
to the consumer. The labor organization
is thus founded upon an entirely diTerenr
basis from the capital organization II
should not be regarded as a trust. II can
not be a monopoly in that sense OF the
word
Then you think IL should be governed
by different laws?"
Yes. The laws should be adapted TO IL
and based upon the difference of cond-
ton which actually exists"
