A New Labor System.
I The United States labor commissioner,
V‘Hou. Carroll D. Wright. is certain that
., new system of work and wages must
' be devised which shall do entire justice
to both capital and labor and at the
same time recognize the moral forces at
work contemporaneously with the in:
dustrial forces
In a paper in The Forum, Mr. Wright
k; two, questions: First, shall a man
_ , not his business as he pleases? Sec-
}‘ond. during periods of depression, must
-, the savings or reserve fund of labor be
'drawn open, while the savings of capi-
tal. or its reserve fund and dividends,
“ remain intact? To the first of these
. questions the labor commissioner finds
; a ready answer. A llittll may not con'
duct his business as he pleases when by
so doing he interferes with the conven«
ience, business, health or cmnfort of his
neighbors or the public. Society has al-
ready displayed its right to interfere
with private business that damages the
health or interests of the public. Ilium
traticns of this are given in the case of
factories whose products and refuse are
deleterious to health or property owners
whose land is necessary to the public
' good. If a man seeks to make a fence,
or turn a water course in such a way as
‘ todemsge his neighbor, the law steps
in and says he shall not do it. In the
‘ same way society has the right to step
in and compel a man to arbitrate or
turn over his business to mmebody else
who will arbitrate when large numbers
of people are damaged by his refusal to
do either. “The impairment of capital
is the loss of labor; the impairment of
labor is the less of capital. "
The second question, whether capital
should not draw on its reserve funds in
hard times. J'Wlt as well as labcu', Mr.
Wright leaves to his readers to answer.
Be merely asks whether. when work-
' men are idle, they must use up all their
savings to live on, while the dividends
cfeapital are the same and its reserve
fund remains full, or whether there
should not be some mutual sharing of
burdens. The answer to this question
will go far toward settling the labor
question, the writer thinks
Hr. Wright remarks incidentally that
theeooorporstions that voluntarily raise
in good times the wages cut down in
bad times rarely, have strikes It is the
acidity that their pay will not be
' raised igain without a strike and a
fight that makes workingmeu so savage
when their wages are reduced.

tween South Norwalk and New York
that it was taken away from the Dan-
bury division s short time agcand placed
upon one of the fast trains on the New
York division. To everybody‘s surprise
the engineers there were unable to make
any sort of time with the engine, and
sitera short trial it was sent back to
Daobnry. Engineer David Vaughn-t trick
it the next day and made his usual time
with a longer train than it had been
drawing. On July 4th, Engineer Vaugh-
au gained the distinction of being the
only engineer who made the run from
New York to South Norwalk on time.

FASHIONABLE EVENING EFFECTS.
Gay Waiste and Gorgeous Wraps—Jeweled
Buckles. 8min and Chiffon.
The bodfeedlflering in material from the
skirt continues fashionable and is made in
both simple and elaborate styles for day
and evening weer. Silk is the material
usually employed for those intended for
general wear, but plaid velvet in bright
colors is newer and is said to be service-
able. besides being undoubtedly warmer.
A bodice of this latter goods is very eflect-
lve worn with a black skirt. For dinners
and other dress occasions charming cor-
sages are shown made of gathered ohiflon
over a silk lining of contrasting color—
grceu over pink or blue over yellow. .3 The

of as many tints ml the scales of an irides-
cent dragon. They are sprinkled over
some for evening gowns and are worked
into embroidery patterns on velvet. They
shimmer on huts, banners. wraps and
gowns. They form the decoration of some
extremely pretty new fans of block gauze
intended for evening use, upon which the
little steel or gold disks produce a most
brilliant effect.
There are also gauze fans quieter in up
penance. but more costly. adorned with
small painted medallions framed in lace.
These are more appropriate for the use of
middle used women, to whom rich rather
than any effects are suitable.
A sketch is given of a velvet and damask
evening wrap. The straight front and the
sides areoi' white damask, with pink roses
and their foliage. The back is of emerald
velvet. forming an immense watteau
plalt fastened to the high flaring collar
by a velvet how. A yoke of green velvet
adorns the front. The bishop sleeves are|
of damask. and the collar. wrists of the
sleeves and the damask body of the par-
ment are bordered with sable.
