como most closely into touch with domestic labor scorn
to establish tlmt in n Jargo proportion of cases tho sorv-
ico roiulcrotl by domestic employees is unsatisfactory and that tho
supply of competent domestio workers is far below tho demand.
IN SHORT, DOMESTIC SERVICE IS LARGELY IN THE HANDS
'OF UNTRAINED AND INCOMPETENT WORKERS AND IS UNPOPU.
L.AR WITH THE MAJORITY OF INTELLIGENT WOMEN WAGE
EARNERS.
Tho reason for this is not found in tho wages paid, for it is ad
mitted that, wages in domestic service are, all things considered,
higher than aro tho wages paid in many more popular linos of work.
Tho reason is found in other conditions which exist and primarily
in tho fact that THE DOMESTIC EMPLOYEE IS LOOKED
UPON AS A PERSONAL SERVANT RATHER THAN AS
AN EMPLOYEE HIRED TO PERFORM SPECIFIC SERV
ICE. Because of this view thero is no fixed standard of work, tho
hours of labor aro indefinite, thcvomployco's cntiro time 'is subject
lo the control of the employer. Tho position of tho employee in tho
household is that of a semidependent; her social.position is that of an
inferior.
To improve tho character of domestic service the supply of in
telligent workors must bo increasod; to increase tho supply of intel
ligent workers conditions must bo so modified as to mako the con
ditions in domestic scrvico conform to as great an extent as possible,
to conditions oxisting in other industries and especially so modified
as to put the social position of tho domestic employeo on n par with
ihat of other wage earners. In other words, DOMESTIO SERV
ICE MUST BE PUT ON. A BUSINESS BASIS.
This enn bo douo only through co-operation on tho part of both
employers and employees, co-operation based on a better and inoro
scientific conception of tho character of household labor.
THE PROCESS MUST BE PRIMARILY -EDUCATIONAL, DOTH A3
REGARDS EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE.
Instruction in tho public schools in tho elementary principles
which bear upon household affairs would do much to give to tho
next generation a better understanding of tho importanco of house
hold labor and of the principles underlying it.
HALF THE STRIKES ARE WON
BY THE MEN WHO STRIKE
By SAMUEL COMPERS, PrcsMcnt American federation of Labor
niS is a great ago when
or electricity adds to tho wealth of the country. THE
PEOPLE WnO STBIXE WANT A FAIR SHARE
OF THE FRUITS OF THEIR TOLL. I do not want
any ono to think, however, that I am an advocate of
Ell
strikes, though they aro often necessary and justifiable. I have yet
to meet a man in tho labor movement in all my experience in that
movement, cwering a third of a century, who is an advocate of
strikes. This, however, is different from antagonism to or denuncia
tion of 3trikea. Neither antagonism nor denunciation has ever stop
ped ono strike.
FIFTY PER CENT OF THE STRIKES ARE ABSOLUTELY VON,
AMD IN 25 PER CENT OF THE STRIKES PART OF THE DEMANDS
ARE GAINED.
Even when tho strikes are lost it is a benefit to others, for em
ployers will be more chary in forcing strikes.

to tmvo a driver who was to take tho
tarantass back to the startlug point.
We had not been long on the mid
when I noticed tlmt the driver was
Whine nhont hlui timidly, pricking up
his cars nnd now and again turn 'ig
backward. He aud I lHith spoke a lit
tle Herman, and In this language I
learned that It would soon bo time for
tho wolves to be out In force, and ho
wns dreading them.
'The landlord didn't mention wolves,"
I said.
"Certainly not. It would have Inter,
fetal with his furnishing you the tar.
antaM."
Horrified nt even a remote chance of
encountering the hungry beasts, I was
meditating turning back when thcro
came a distant howl. The driver no
sooner heard It than he gave the horse
a cut which, with the fright that had
come upon the animal at u sound ho
know only tco well, mad him spring
forward at a mad gallop.
"Why did you risk our live?, knowing
of this danger4" I asked.
"The wolves rarely come In this re
gion before the middle of PoeoinlxT.
This year there has been moru snow
than usual to the north of us, and It
has driven them down here for food."
There was another howl, this time
much nearer. My eyes met those of
ray wife, and both hers nnd mine haul
plainly, "I'liU means death," We then
glanced at our children, unconscious
of tho terrible danger, snuggling to
gether between us under tho robes,
nnd our distress was tenfold.
In passing through the more unset
tied parts, of KuroiK? I carried In my
hip poeUc't n medium tired' revolver.
This was the only weapon at hand. I
took It out aud examined the Mx car
tridges (I had no more; to make sure
they wore In order. I Knew that every
wolf killed would delay the pack to
devour the carcass, nnd If I could 1.111
six wolves nt Interval there was hope
thnt we might get through to the rail
road station In safety. I tld the driver
of my purpose. Inquiring hw far we
had yet to go, and he tcplod that It
was two leagues. He then began to
lash tho horse unreaslugly, shouting
to him llko n madman.
It was but a tow minutes now be
fore the wolves left the wood, aud one
could nee them In the toad coixug
with lightning leaps. I told mj wife
to get down Into tho bottom of tho
tarantnss with tho children nnd cover
herself and them with the robes. I
watched tho boasts snarling aud bit
ing nt one nnother, and when tho lend
er came within shot I alined carefully
between his gleaming eyes nnd Urod,
and he fell. In nn Instant, as I expect
ed, he was being torn to pieces by tho
rest of the pack, Hy this menus I suc
ceeded In gaining half u league before
they came upon in ngaln. My next
Bhot was delivered Just ns the tarau
taws bounded In tho nJr over n rut nnd
was not effective. I llred again and
dropped another wolf, with tho same
result n8 before In delaying the pack.
When we were about a league from
tho station, I tired my fourth ball, but
as It was getting dark my aln waa
bnd, nnd I missed. I flrod again aud
missed. I had but ono shot left. Wait
ing till tho foremost beast was within
a few paces of me, kuowhig that thcro
was but one shot left, I tired and
dropped the wolf.
Why this carcass ho slightly delayed
the pack I do not know. At any rate,
we had gained but a quarter of c
league when they were on us again.
"I have no more cartridges!" I cried
to tho driver. "Mnko him do all you
can."
"Give mo a knife, quick!" ho crr$d.
. I took out my jwckctknlfo and, open
ing tho sharpest blade, handed It to
him, not knowing what ho Intended to j
do. He leaned over, and u moment
later I ww tho horso leave the laran
tnss and, relieved from thu load, shoot
on llko n rocket. Tho man had cut tho
traces. Horror stricken at h.s, act,
knowing that the wolves would ho on
us at once, I crouched down inula tho
robes. I could feel the tnriintiiM slid-j
lug on till, btrlklng some object, It sud
denly stopped. Meanwhile I heard the
pack go yelping past us. Then I heard
u frightful shriek from tho horse. I
Throwing off the cover, I looked ahead ,
nnd saw tho wolves clinging to tho
poor beast. ,
"Come," said tho driver. "TUty win
eoon turn on us." ,
Ho pointed to a house bo far away
thnt I knew It would be Impossible to
reach It In time. I was turning hither
aud thither to ilud some other straw to
cling to when I henrd ohots ahead, and'

A' TOUCH " '
OF RUSSIA
CopyrlGht. tOCC. by C. II. Lewis.
Soon after reaching St. Petersburg
nn my globe circling trip I found tin
Amcrlcs'ii who had Just arrived that
aioruli!'., a man from Stamford, CJun.,
named Joshua II. Itldwell, He was the
investor of the w!ro clothesline and,
having patented It In Knglnud, Prance,
Germany tind other foreign countries,
had arrived In Uussla with the same
object In view. Ho wns a thorough
Yankee from top to bottom.
I had scarcely Miaken hands with
him when ho Informed me that the po
lice already had n spy on his track
and added:
"Pin here on straight business, I
nm, I'm here to patent nnd sell the
right to manufacture the only gn'lvan
Izrd wire clothesline ever Interned. If
the pollco let me alone, I shan't hurt
anybody, but If thy tackle me they'll
wake up a bnrnful of bumblebees."
It was Mr. IUdwell's Intentions, aft
er knocking about for two or three
days, to visit the American legation
and tollclt ndvlco on how to proceed to
get his patrnt. We set out to St. Pe
tersburg In company. It was the eauso
of our coming to grief. Thu spy who
had been following him appeared to be
in ire alert than before; but, fearing
that I ltd well would do something rash,
I did not mention the fact of our being
dogged. He did not catch on until tho
nftcrnoon of the second day. Wu then
were knocking nhnitt on foot and were
In the national aquarium when ho
walked straight up to the spy, tapped
him on the shoulder and said:
"Look here, Mister Man, havo you
nny business to transact with us?"
He spoke In nugllsh, nnd the Hun
(Ian could not understand a word of It.
Ho evidently got tho drift of things,
however, and seemed greatly surprised
and annoyed at being nddressed In that
orriiaud fashion.
We went out. turned Into Warsaw
place nnd entered a wineshop. Itldwell
presently went to the door to see If the
spy was around and almoit bumped
Into him.
"Now, then, you mean looking son of
n gun, but this Is n little too steep!" ex
claimed thu Yankee. "I gave you fair
warning, and now"
lie seized thu fellow by the shoulders
nnd hlammed him about In a terrlllc
manner, but It wasn't more than a
inlnuto before live or six policemen
were at hand nnd both of us weie un
der arrest nnd being hurried nway.
Wo were llrst taken to a police sta
tion about four blocks distant. Thero
wo were searched, stripped of every
nrtlelu that our clothing might bo over
hauled ami held for about an hour. Wo
were not questioned at nH, anil if tho
olllclul In I'hnrgo understood anything
wo said ho did not betray tho fact, ind
well was ho provoked by tho situation
that ho llred a whole broadsldo of Con
necticut oratory li.'to the olllelnl, ending
up by threatening a suit for $100,00"
damages, but ho might as well havo
saved his breath. Hy and by we were
taken to headquarters under a Ktrong
escort and there ushered Into tho pres
ence of tho chief of police, Wo were
taken hi Hlngly. My turn came llrst.
Thu chief consulted a memorandum
and began:
"You arrived In St. Petersburg on the
Otli, You claimed to be an American
tourist. You received a letter from Par
Is on thu 10th aud ouo from Hamburg
on thu 11th. You have spoken dlsre-
upcctrully of the police to tno proprie
tor of tho Park hotel. You wero very
disrespectful toward tho olllcer who
was ordered to follow you about. L)u
you wish to leave St. Petersburg by the
evening train?"
I replied that I had como to visit tho
city an u tourist und had planned to re
main for at least a mouth,
Tho chief touched a bell, nnd two
pollco unicorn appeared. Out of lay own
money they" bought mu a tlekol for tho
ticrmnu frontier, nitd both rodo with
mo for tho llrst JHM) inllrs,
What happened to Hldwcl! I learned
long arterward from lilit own mouth
and through tho American m-cis. Ho
thought It Ijoneath tho dignity or a frou
born 'American eltr.en to bend the kueo
to tho autocrat of Ht. Petersburg. The
charge against hlin was moro serious.
Ills biiggagu at tho hotel had been
overhauled, aud his samples of wlro
clothobllnes wero tit oticu "spotted" a 4
it menace against tho peace of tho
cutr. Ho also had laid violent hands
on tho sacred body of a pollco spy, aud
that proved htm n desperato man If
not a conspirator. 'He was delimit
when put on examination, and thu up
nhot wns thnt ho was taken to tho
rorlresa of Ht. Peter to bu held for
further investigation. That simply
meant to bo hold at the pleasure of
thu chief of police. No papers wero
ever served on him nor was ho ovur
taken Into court. Ho was put tilth a
dark, damp cell, con II nod to prison fare
und treated llku a criminal. It wan
tht eo mouths before ho saw any other
face than tho Jailer's. Tien n pullet
olllclul cainu to ask him If ho would
ngtvu to leave ltussla und never return
In easu of release.
"Not by n long shot!" was his ready
reply. "For every month you hold mo
In huru I'll demand $r0.000 cNtra, aud
If Uncle Ham doesn't back my lawsuit
every Itldwell In Connecticut will move
tint of the country."
At the cud of. seven months liu win
ct nt liberty. ' Hu started for tho
American legation, hut wns Intercepted
aud tnken to the depot and foteed to
outer n train. Two olllcers accompa
nied him to the frontier, and ho re
ceived such a solemn warning ngalmit
attempting to rvctoss thu line that ho
never tried It. He llled a claim on
reaching the United States, but It VtH
pigeonholed und heard of no nlore.
