that the attack was without provoca-

A few hours later the Britons we're

lone cyclist toiling up the incline. He
was pumping hard, but making

but Is an organization necessary for
the administration of the law. Such
organizations, whether of employees or
employers, must subscribe to certain
rules, as to reports, use of funds, num-
Der and character Of membership.
Employees and employers may settle
disputes and conditions Of labor by
industrial greements-which are reg
fstered and have the force of awards
made by law. A number of such
agreements have been voluntarily
made. They are enforceable against
the parties and such other organiza-
tons and persons as signify their in.
tention to be bound by an agreement.
Failing in agreement, disputes are
settled by reference to the court. In
the commonwealth this consists of a
Judge of the high court. The court,
according to a statement by G. H.
Knibbs Of Melbourne, the common
wealth authority, may land on the ap.

striking difference is as to legislative
regulation of wages and terms of con
tract.
Regulating Wages and Contracts.
Two systems, based upon somewhat
different principles, have existed in
Australia for the regulation Of wages
and general terms contracts and EN-
ployment, the wages board and the
Industrial arbitration court. In the
more recent legislation In the severa
states both systems are embodied
The arbitration court of the common
wealth has power to review decisions
in matters of interstate concern. Tit
wages board is composed Of an equa
number OF representatives Of organi
cations Of employers and employees
nominated by themselves, and one o
the state court judges as chairman
with vote only in case of tie. Thi
board has power to regulate hours
wages and conditions of labor and EN-
ployment upon petition from the par
ties interested. Such regulations ar
set out in the form of agreement
which must be obeyed by all parties
under penalty for violation of agree
ment.
Compulsory Arbitration.

court system is the provision for con
pulsory arbitration with or without pc
tition from interested parties. TIL

There Is another side to the shield,

collective bargaining" is the phrase
used to describe the proceedings I'M
der which industrial organizations
seek desired wages. Trades unions
came first and following upon trades
unionism, other industrial organiza-
lions and their entrance into politics.
AS a result Of the great strikes in the
maritime, strengthening and mining
industries in 1S90-1S92 a Labor party
was formed which has been dominant
IN Australia since 1904 except for oc-
casional periods when the Liberal mar
ty, largely tinctured with Labor views,
held sway. During the last 20 years
the most advanced legislation has
been enacted in the several states and
by the federal parliament.
A week Of 48 hours is the usual
working week. though this is frequent
ly reduced, by Saturday half-holiday,
to A hours. The larger trades unions,
however, have lately moved for and in
many cases obtained a net day Of
eight hours, with Saturday half-holi-
day, no loading of the other week days
being permitted by way of compensat-
ing for the Saturday afternoon. I'm

The Secret.

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish is known to
give the most sumptuous and the most
beautiful dinners in the world She Ia
also known as the possessor Of a
trenchant wit.
1t is said of Mrs. Fish that the re-
markable success of rich but ill-fa-
vored New York girls marriage with a
spendthrift nobleman was recently dis
cussed in her presence. No one could
understand the happiness of this mar
riage, which had seemed to bode SO Ill.
But Mrs. Fish shrugged and said:

touch a penny Of her principal, and
that. you see, keeps up the interest"

This is the era of the inexpensive
house. From present indications more
houses Of this character will be built
during the coming season than during
any similar period for many years.
This fact goes to prove that the home
owning instinct will survive any condi-
ton of higher prices for building ma
terials.
1t is natural to live in ones own
home; it is unnatural to live in a
rented house or apartment. The family
that lives In its own house, no matter
how humble that may be, feels sense
Of independence that does not come
to the family in a rented house. The
renter feels, If he does not say 1t, after
paying his rent: We'll, | have a place
and roof for my family for 30 days
more. l must leave after that If do
not pay. And even during these so
days we only have the use of the
house; 1t is not ours, but must be
turned over to the owner when we are
through with it."

sense of security, of ownership, of

The security of the race lies in the
home instinct, and it is backward ster

even if it were true, the argument still
