THIS TOWN DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT A STRIKE MEANS
PROBABLY ONLY INDUSTRIAL CITY
OF KIND IN WORLD.
In Warren, Pa, Practically All Workers
Belong to Unions and Merchants
Loud in Their Praise.

Warren, Pa, is probably a unique
town in this country. While its work.
ers in nearly every trade and industry
are organized into strong unions, strikes
are unknown there. Labor troubles, in
the broad sense of that word, do not fig
ure in the towns industrial activities.
1t is, perhaps, the only town where
employers are loudly asserting that it
pays them to deal with the union, not
to overwork their employees and to pay
them fair wages.
The clerks recently desired to have
the night shifts shortened, which had
been about nine and a half hours. In
other cities there might have been a
strike or forced arbitration, or at least
lengthy conferences with the bosses. In
Warren it was done differently.
A committee met the merchants as
sociation, the latter willingly receiving
it. The unions demands We're presented
and explained, the matter was discussed
while both sides were present, and within
two days the merchants announced a
reduction OF hours, to go into effect
within one week.
That is about the way things work
in other trades. The union does not
always get all it asks for. Often, when
the employers are able to show that
it would be impossible for them to grant
the demands made, a satisfactory COM
promise is effected without even the
thought of having recourse to a strike.
1t is collective bargaining in its truest
sense.
Dissatisfaction has often arisen among
the men, but always they have found
the employers willing to meet them half
way when their demands are reasonable,
as they usually are.

latest report the slides which are now
giving trouble arc directly opposite

hundred feet in length. The banks
are three hundred to three hundred

fected on tho east side covers eighty

This Is now being removed by dredges
and steam shovels. AS to the cause
of these slides, General Goethals in
his report writes as follows:
ut Is certain that the troubles are
due to the failure OF underlying strata.
because these were unable to bear the
weight that tho banks brought upon
them. Under the circumstances 1t Is
difficult to understand the impression
that has gained credence In some
quarters that q sea level canal would
have avoided the difficulties encoun-
tered. since tho cutting would have
been through the same matertal, but
at least eighty feet deeper.
"1t Is also certain that nothing can
stop the movements now In progress
until the angle OF repose is reached
for tho materials under the conditions
that exist, and thnt this can be reached
only by removing the excess amount
OF material. If experience counts for
auEht. then that gained In the hand
ling OF the slides and the breaks that
have occurred along the line OF the

the ground water. Because OF the

method OF preventing slides, but when
the heavy rains come this vegetation
is washed into tho canal-in fact. big
