THE SEARCH FOR CAUSES

contemplating condition.

Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, of Harvard
University. He has just rendered
'eport to the National Electric Light
Association, now in convention in
Philadelphia, which goes deeper into
he theory of abstruse causation, as
applied to his particular subject,

His topic was "The Psychology of
Electric Lighting" He studied the
Great White Way" He found
aeavy-eyedness there. To the man

arily not at work.. and even to the
busy paragrapher, there would seem
q be abundant reason for it right on
ne ground. To find that a nights
struggle against ones conscience is
'nly fraction of the game, that the
struggle to keep awake by manufac-
.uring excitement is only another
traction, and that when the hour

PRIVATE PENSIONS.

The New York Association for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor
has been for long time expert
menting with pensions for dependent
widows and children. It set aside
funds to carry on this work with a
group of families for a considerable
period, with the purpose of determin-
ing whether the recipients of pen
sions would use the money on the
whole economically and effectively
for themselves; and, particularly, to
demonstrate whether the receipt of
pension would break down the in
dependence, self-respect, and econom-
ic capability of the recipient.
After eighteen months of the ex-
pertinent, the association makes a
report in which it unqualifedly de-
clares for the pension system in
such cases. To permit an unfortu-
nate mother to keep her family to-
gether, to keep it in her own charge
and under her own roof, is found to
be the most satisfactory way to
spread the money over the needs of
the case. Far from injuring the
economic capability of the benef-
ciaries to take care of themselves,
this plan seems to be better for them
than any other form of charity.
II will not be long before the pen
sion for the dependent widow and for
the aged and incapacitated worker
will be recognized as a part of the
general obligation of society to it
self. That much is being accepted
in many countries, and by real stu
dents of the question everywhere IL
our own country. Indeed, pensions
for incapacitated workers are now
the policy Of almost all intelligently

COMPETITION WITH PAR
Gel POST.

One of the big express companies,
instead of retreating in dismay un-
der the fire of parcel post competi-
ton, has started an innovation which
bids fair to win back some patrons
from the Postofice DEPARTMENT. This
new idea is an order and foods prod
ucts bureau. and the Adams Express
Company, which announces it, ex-
poets to carry food direct from pro-
ducer to consumer, charging rate
no higher than the parcel post rate.
For many years the express COM
panies have had purchasing depart
ments, but these were principally of
use to producers and middlemen.
The new bureau seeks to benefit the
ultimate consumer, although the job
Der is also permitted to take advant-
age Of it. 1t is to handle almost
everything, but tire items of most
importance seem to be vegetables,
fruit, dairy ard hennery products,
fish, and meat.
It is big undertaking, for the
express company has to hold itself
responsible to the buyer for the
quality and quantity of the goods,
and to the seller for the collection of
the money. The plan is now in
active operation in Philadelphia and
neighboring towns, and New York is
expected to be enjoying it soon. The
fact that the Adams company has
taken over the business of the Long
Island Express Company means that
the Long Island truck farms will be
placed in closer connection with city
consumers.
The results aimed at are those
sought by Governor Glynn when he
suggested a State market commis-
sion which could bring the farmer
and the householder together without
letting the middleman feed off
either.
if the parcel post is responsible
for such progress as this; good for
the parcel post! And if the express
companies show that they can do the
job cheaper and better than the
Government, good for the express
companies!

TRADES UNIONS LAWFUL

The Federal courts are beginning
TO take more enlightened view of
the right of workingmen to organize.
1t is particularly interesting to no.
tice this tendency because it dis
closes that without any additional
legislation by Congress the broader
gauged Federal judges refuse to hold
to the antiquated doctrine that labor
organizations and trades unions are
unlawful. To hold that labor cannot
organize for proper ends at a time
when nearly everybody else-except
the ultimate consumer-is organized,
is little short of ridiculous.
The United States circuit court of
appeals, sitting at Richmond, recent
ly reversed the United States cir
cult court for the northern district
of West Virginia, in the case against
John Mitchell and others in which
the defendants were enjoined from
attempting to urionize the employees
Of the Hitchman Coal and Coke
Company. The court below held the
union was unlawful on the theory it
was guilty of conspiracy.
But the court of appeals refused
to take this view ard in ruling that
the court below erred when it held
the organization Of striking miners
unlawful, it said:
This is an age Of cooperation
through organization. In fact, orgaEiza-
lion is the only means bY which united
effort can be secured in any branch
OF human endeavor. The doctors. dent
lists. school teachers wholesale and re-
tail merchants. and, IN fact, every
tranch of industry in this country, are
organized for the purpose Of the mu-
tual protection of the respective parties
interested. Such being the case. II is
just as essential. ami perhaps more i'm
rCrtant, that the laboring people or
Sanize for their advancement and pro-
lection than IL is for any of tho Vo-
cations We have mentioned"
In defining the rights of the par
ties, the court held:
In the first place. it should be under
stood once for all that SO long us
capital employs legitimate means for
the protection of property rights. that
il is to be accorded the protection of the
law: but this does not mean that capi-
tai may. by improper methods, form
combina tions for the purpose of IRE
venting labor from orge nizing for mu-
tual protection. Likewise. 1t should be
definitely understood that the laboring
men have the right to use peaceable
and lawful methods TO unite their forces
in order to improve their condition rs
respects their ability to earn a decent
living give their children moral and in
tcilectIal training and secure the en-
act;rent of legislation requiring mine
owners TO adopt such methods as may
be necessary to keep their mines IN a
condition, and. above ALL TO
adept methods to minimize, as much as
possible. the occurrence of the awful
by which SO many hunan
lives have been lost"
