The President and Congress

In ,ho ceoorol political hoDnb remedies for th!s,

The White House leadership has aroused great IN

Amendments to the Constitution are suggested.
though none are worked out in form. Generalties only
are dealt in Protect congress. Restrain the presl'
dent And forth
AS i; matter of fact congress needs no prolectloh
in the matter. 1t possesses all the power necessary
TO protect itself. The real question relates to the
exercise OF that power. Given congress with Ihe
spirit to stand alone. and the difficulty is solved
Twenty presidents could not prevail against It,
1t should not be forgotten that Mr.. Wilson mas
done only what many presidents have been lhpor
timed to do, some have attempted, and few have
accomplished in smaller measure than himself
Mr., Cleveland tried to impose his will on an I'M
willing congress in tAe matter OF tar'1l reicr ou'

Mr. Taft was urged at the beginning OF his admin

Cannon defeated for reelection to the speakarshlp
and thought that if they could enlist the president
on their side they could win But Mr. Taft took THE
ground that it would not be proper for him to inter

matter OF conjecture, but persuasive conjecture Is
that he would have failed and created serious trouble
FOR himself at the very beginning Of his term.
Mr. Wilson is new to national leadership, and bis
party is in full control of the government after years
of helpessness. Without harmony between the presl

gress which contains a great many new members

drives hard, there need need be no great surprise
But congress needs protection against the eNecu

ANCIENT SKYSCRAPERS.
Roman Houses Were Tall and Flimsy,
the Streets Narrow Lanes.

Roman Houses Were Tall and Flimsy,
the Streets Narrow Lanes.
The tenement house is no new thing
So great was the number of such
houses and so badly were they put up
In ancient Rome that In SO a. D. the
Emperor 0tho, who was then marching
against Vitellius, found his way barred
for twenty miles by the ruins Of build
ings that had been undermined by an
inundation. The spontaneous collapse
of tenement houses was so common an
occurrence that little attention was
paid to it.
The tenants of these houses have
been described by writer of the time
as fearing to be buried or burned
alive Companies existed for the pur-
pose Of propping and sustaining
houses.
In comparison with the tenements of
most modern cities those of Rome
were excessively high. Martial alludes
to poor man. neighbor, who had to
mount 200 steps to reach his garret
That garret must have been perched
nearly 100 feet above the level Of the
street
1t is possible that Martial exaggerat
ed, but 1t is certain that Augustus, to
make less frequent the occurrence of
disasters, limited the height Of new
houses that opened upon the streets tC
abbut sixty eight feet AS this was 9
remedial regulation and referred only
to new houses fronting on the street
1t follows that some houses must have
exceeded that height.
This, moreover. was irrespective OF
the breadth of the street In Berlin the
medium width of the streets is twenty
two meters, and in Paris the narrow
est streets are nearly eight meters
wide. while the streets OF Rome ex
tended only five or six meters, and or
these narrow streets the tall houses
were built. Light and air must have
had some difficulty in penetrating those
narrow, walled In passages.

Slot Machine Unionists.

Some workers look on their trade un-
ion as a slot machine. They think
that by putting in so cents q month, SO
q year, for instance, an eight hour day
and an increased wage scale VIII auto
matically roll out
A trade union is not a thing in itself.
Men talk about their union as II It
were something separate distinct and
apart from themselves. They growl
about the union. They bemoan It's
shortcomings and overlook entirely
their obligations and their failures.
They fail to see that they themselves
are the union and only as they live and
talk and act as union men will the un-
ion prosper and be what 1t was intend
ed for-simply an instrument to make
possible the collective action OF work
ers.
a union is not machine that you
can stand up against the wall to throw
rocks at and then secure benefits every
time the mood comes over you. You!
You! You are the union!
Don't be a slot machine unionist.

AMERICAN LABOR SKILL.
Low Wages Abroad Offset by Cheaper
Production Here.

Government experts have been com
plling comparative figures OF cost Of
manufacturing production and cost of
living as between United States ana
Great Britain. Here are some of the
striking results:
In British factories nearly two and
half times the number of laborers
and 1S per cent more power are re-
quired to obtain equal production re-
suits with American factories.
In seventeen selected Industries the
average wages In the United States
are almost twice those paid In Great
Britain.
But even with these higher wages
manufactures can be produced for less
wage cost in this country ON account
Of greater efficiency and skill. For
every $1,000 Of added manufactured
products the labor cost in the United
States is $40 and in Great Britain
1851, although some allowance should
be made because of higher selling
prices of products In this country.
United States machinery also pro-
duces more. For each $1,000 of prod
uct England requires 1.84 horsepower,
while the United States requires only
1.69 horsepower.
Among great industries In the Unit
ed States requiring skill and machinery
investigation shows that for each ST.
600 dollars OF added manufacture the
labor cost is highest In railway cars,
$604 per $1,000, and shipbuilding $500
per $1,000. 1t Is lowest in brewing,
S14S per $1,000; -four milling, S185 per
$1,000 OF product.
Labor cost in England is cheaper
only in making gloves and railway
cars
An English wooien or cotton manu-
facturer pays his employees less wages
per week than the United States man
ufacturer, but is obliged to employ two
to three times as many persons to pro-
duce goods Of equal value.

Settlement Reached.

Pittsburg, July 3.-At the close
of conference lasting more than
week at West Baden, Ind, a
settlement was reached on the wage
scale governing employees working
in the independent iron mills. I'm

base rate of $5,25 was adopted and
there will be no advance until /. &c
card has been reached, then sub
stantial increases follow. The
present wage rate of pudding is on
a 1.50 card, and the men employed
in the boiling department of the
iron mills are receiving $6.75a ton.

Minneapolis July 3-The plumb
ers have secured an increase of 50
cents a day, from 81. 80 to SIS, with

that they were entitled to raise
in wages, and sixty-three master
plumbers were apparently of the
same mind for they readily acceded
to the demands of the union. The
plumbing industry is fairly well or
ganized in this city and but few
firms are employing nonunion men.

w ant A Raise.

IEAurora, H., July 3.-The en-
ployes of the traction company are
preparing a new scale. The three
year agreement has just expired,
and the new agreement will call for
raise in wages. The men on the
various lines now received from %
cents to 81 cents an hour, and the
carmen desire an increase of 10 per
cent to all employees. 1t is believed
that raise will be secured without
friction.

EifrY-Eiour Week Won

Worchester, Mass, July 3.-The
fifty hour week for millmen, mem
bers Of the Brotherhood of Carpen
ters, has practically been establish
ed. This schedule has been placed
in operation in FIVE of the leading
builders finishing shops. This re-
suit was brought about by strike
of the shopmen, after having en-
deavored to secure the shorter work
week by amicable means. Only
two shops of any Importance are
holding out against the carpenters
while large per cent OF tn union
men are again at work. 1t is be
lieyed that not much difficulty will
be encountered in making settle
ments with the shops now out.

MoIders Locked Out.

Rockfort, ILL.,, July 3. Because
the molders asked for better condi-
tions and an increase in wages, the
Gas engine and Slower Windmill
company of this city, locked out its
emploses. New the company is
promising strike breakers S4 per
day, and is importing men from
Chicago. The molders only asked
for wage scale of So 25. This is
another instance of where a com
pany preferes to fight the union
rather than enter into an amicable
agreement with it.

contempt case, the attorneys filed
another set of applications for a

This means that no further pro-
