A STRIKELESS VICTORY.
Paner Warkere Secure Shorter Day
hjr Fcfl Methods.
labor unions are nut always strlk
lug, and usually they ar jtoverued by
men who r reasonable aud do all In
their power to effect a settlement of
difficulties w4flch arise between the em
ploy era and tie employees to the ad
vantage of both. The point In question
U veil Illustrated by the conference
which waa held receutty at New York,
f which the Machinists' Journal has
the following account:
Euos Madlgan, business agent at
Schenectady, N. T., took part In a con
ference last mouth which resulted in
one of the greatest victories achieved
by labor In Its struggle for a shorter
workday. The conference took place
In New York city at the offices of the
International Pair company on Broad
treet and waa participated In by the
representatives of that comblnatloa
representatives of the International
Brotherhood of Papermakers, represent
atlvea of the, Carpenters and Wood
workers and Mr. Madlgan, represent
Ing the International Association ol
Machinists. An agreement waa reach
ed which averted a strike that would
hare affected 10,000 papertnakers
thronphont the country aa well as
thousands of other mechanics directly
affected by the paperniaklng Industry.
By the terms of this agreement the
eight hour day Is established, and
eighteen paper factories are affected,
which practically covers the entire in
dustry In the papermaklng section.
The eight hour day was Inaugurated la
one factory on Sept 1, and In as ad
ditional factory each succeeding month
the eight hoar day will go Into effect
until In eighteen months the 10,000
members of the brotherhood and all
thers affected win have received II
, There Is to be no reduction In pay.
and this simply means that every em
ployee receives ons-thlrd more In
wages and works one-third lest In
hours than he did formerly, because the
paper mills bad been running twenty-
four hours a day In shifts of twelve
hours each. When It Is remembered
how strongly conservative the employ
ers In the pnpernmking Industry have
been m the past, how antagonistic they
have been to everything of a radical
nature, as everything was called that
would create trades union conditions
and hours, It will be seen that the gain
has been an exceedingly great one.
Therefore Mr. Madigan and bis col
leagues are to be congratulated upon
their success. "
As an Instance showing how neces
sary It Is to go slow at times and how
haste can best toe made by moving
slowly. It was shows most conclusively
at the New York conference that If all
the paper mills were to start simul
taneously on an eight hour day there
were not enough papermakera In the
country to man them. Hence It was
decreed that the eight hour day would
be started In one mill at a time and
that eighteen months would be con
sumed In making the change.
Sala at His Best
' George Augustus Sala probably
did more than any man to make the
future of the London Telegraph un
der the proprietary who had bought
i derelict for a bagatelle. Sala was
the ideal roving correspondent. A
torn cosmopolitan with a considera
ble gift of tongues, his memory was
as well stocked with miscellaneous
matter as the commonplace note
books he indefatigably filled or any
dry goods store in the America
from which his most notable letters
were written. Objectionable man
nerisms notwithstanding, he often
suggests the fanciful but fairly well
Informed exuberance of Dumas in
. "the "Impressions de Voyage." He
could write about anything, from
canvasback ducks and terrapin tur
tle to the chances for the presiden
tial chair, but he was at his best
.when discoursing upon nothing.

A Government Experiment.
It Is announced that the, department
f agriculture, through the office of
ptfulle roads, has agreed to construct
one mil of modem road in each of the
states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana, North and South Dakota and
Minnesota next summer, provided the
local authorities will co-operate. The
machinery for the purpose and the ex
pert engineers to supervise the con
struction are to be furnished by ths
government, while the local authorities
Hrfll be expected to furnish the mate
rial and the unskilled labor required.
Dot Laid With Salt.
. The Cheshire (England) county coun
ell recently debated the motor ques
tion, and Councilor Pedley, on behalf
of the main roads committee, said dust
laying experiments had been made and
the results showed that no existing
method was efficient, whereupon C. B.
Davles stated that he bad seen one
cure !n the town of Dfuilwicu. It con
' stated simply of salt scale off the salt
pens ground floe and spread over
roads. It certainly prevented dust ris
ing, and It was a remarkably cheap ex
periment, he added.
