ECLIPSE MFG. co.
 SHUT DOWN
Employees Discharged Last Thursday.-Threatened to
 Bring Proceedings

The Eclipse Manufacturing Com pany shut down last Thursday, hav- ing produced all the seasons orders. It is usual to run somewhat later, but it is said that business has not been especially profitable this year.
 A few weeks ago there was a furry of trouble at the plant, but it was ad- justed to the satisfaction of the em- ployes who remained at work. Last Thursday, the employees allege, Julius Price, one of the membe.s of the con- eern, came here and without warning discharged all hands. This, the en- ployes say, is contrary to an agree ment made with them few weeks before when, they say, it was agreed to keep them employed for another month at least.
 Employees sought legal advice and as a result of this Garfield L. Charl- ton, another member of the concern and the one whom the employees say promised work, came to Putnam Mon day. There was meeting in the of fee of Torrey & Geissler. Judge NJ. H. Geissler acting for the men. MT Charlton denied that he told the em- ploys that he would keep them at work, but said that he did say that he would come to Putnam as soon as he could and sometime before the mid dle of June and make arrangements with them.
 The outcome of the conference was that Mir Charlton agreed that the firm would pay each of the employees a weeks wages. The new season does not begin until about the first of Au- gust. The employees say that they are not paid more than half the wages paid in New York and that the sud- den termination of work leaves them with. little to live on. as it is impos- sible to get work at this time of year and, the Eclipse being an ''open shop" they could not get work any way without joining the union if seek ing employment in a large city.

QUO vADIS?

A prelate of wide experience in Russia, on his
return to this country, stated that the pre-revo-
luton faith, reverence and worship among the
peasant class for the car surpassed anything
ever before seen on earth.
This churchman expressed the belief that
these peoples would. in time, rebuild their faith
and reverence; with the ruler Of the universe
for the object of their alteration.
It may happen SO. but present indications in
Russia are that disbelief, chaos, indifference to
either faith or works, have replaced the old de-
won't humility.
Our guess is that the Russian people win go
to the other extreme and deride all creeds, and
probably wind up as goddess as they today are
lawless.
And then, in the Infiniteis good time this peo-
pie will emerge washed in blood and tears, and
purged through national misfortune, and, in hui

WAGES AND THE MARKET.

Are high wages, short hours and organized Ia
Dor handicaps in the race for international mar
kets? Most employers think they are. Our
competitors buy cheaper labor is the first ar-
gumentative boomproof Of retreating Bourbon
employers.
This problem is critical at this instant. Nations
are standing at the tape ready for the word that
starts the mad race for markets. If raising
wages, reducing hours and increasing taxes for
education, housing and social welfare win handi-
cap our industrial entry then We must wait IN
til other nations catch up with our labor stan
dards before making further advances.
This line Of argument sounds too plausible to
be true. It sounds just like common sense, and
every accurate scientific observer knows that
common sense am ordinary observation are al.
most always wrong - =
The world is not flat. The sun does not re
volve around us. Space is not empty. The hills
are not eternal. Most stars are larger than the
earth. Because common sense proved the re-
verse Of all these statements knowledge blunder-
ed and human progress was delayed for cen
turtles.
If we look closer and use the Instruments 81
accurate investigation it is plain that cheap Ia
Dor will never rule the world market. Those
markets now, and in all times past are barred
to hunger-weakened, over-worled.. ignorant pop.
ulations and at the mercy Of the best-fed, housed
taught and amused workers.
More than half the human race lives in China,
India and Russia. There, too, are the richest
natural resources, the lowest wages, the longest
hours, the most subservient workers. Yet with
all the rest Of the world crushed with war, no
one feared that the war exempt among these
nations would seize international markets. The
industrial yellow peril win not put flesh upon its
ghost until wages, hours, education and organi-
zation of labor in Asia approach western stan
dards.
The rating Of nations in the race for markets
is directly proportional to the standard of liv-
ing Of their labors.
1t is Great Britain that threatens to out-com.
pete the world, because she is preparing to pay
higher wages, work shorter hours, build better
homes and schools and provide means to use the
minds of her workers in the management of in
dustry.
Low wages at home are as effective in restrict
ing markets as high tariffs abroad. Cheap la
Dor means expensive production.
These are lessons the facts have taught what
ever deceptive appearances common sense may
seem to have presented.
