Strikes and the Militia.
' Up to 1877 the employment of the
militia to suppress strikes was practi-
cally unknown. Indeed it would be safe
to say that strikes themselves were com-
pmtively unknown. In 1877 it was a
‘ question whether it was good policy or

did a sort of unwritten law obtains that
no member of a labor organization shall
belong to a company of the national
guard.
Since the grout railway strike in Pitts-
bnrg in 1877, however, the calling outi
of the national guard to suppress strik-
on has become more and more frequent.
Beginning with the strike named and
aiding with the Br y'lyn trolley wire

~~‘ MM' companies have been
called to do ty against laboring men.
In 1880 Colorado silver minors struck
against reduction of wages. The Knights
of Labor were behind this rising, which
the citizen soldiers were called on to
suppress. Again troops wrrn employed
in 1885. when the employees of the
Wabash railway system in Missouri quit
work because of an order that no Knights
of Labor should be employed.
In 1886 occurred another railway
strike through the southwest. The
Knights of Labor supported this strike
also. and the militia were again called
out to put it down throughout Missouri,
Texas and Arkansas. in 1890 came the
strike on the New York i'entrnl rntnl
against a reduction of wages, and the
state troops were ordered out. in April.
1892, the Pennsylvania state troops
were ordered out. in the strike in the
coke regions. .lnly, mm, the Pennsyh
vania militia were sent to guard the ( 'ar—
negie works against strikers during tln-
riots there. riots which (’04 Allegheny

In 1892 occurred also 1 ~ strike on

Mr. Phil! does not favor the pas-
sage of a compulsory arbitration law at
the preeyut time. He does desire, how-
ever. the appointment of a national it
her commission of experts in accordance
with a bill which he has introduced to
the labor committee 0! the house. This
committee he would have composed of
21' persons in all. Under the provisions
of his bill the president is to appoint
on the commission 01 experts five rep-
resentatives each of labor, agriculture
and business. These three groups will
each choose two other persons to aid
them in their deliberations, so that the
groups will consist of seven experts each.
The commission is authorized to inves-
tigate all questions of capital and labor
irom the standpoint of both sides in all
the leading branches cl industry in the
country. and finally, when the conflict-
ing interests of all have been duly con-
sidered, to recommend such legislation
to both congress and the separate states
as will tend to harmonize opposing in-
terests. .
Finally, as an earnest’of his desire to
help this distracted country out o! the
sea of labor troubles it is in, Mr. Phil-
lips proves his faith by his'works by
oflering to pay all the salaries of the
commissioners himself while they are
investigating. This is to save expense
to the government of not less than
$250,000.
Typewriters and Trotters. -
One of the striking features of the
past ten years in this country is the de-
velopment respectively of" speed in the
trotter and typewriter. A generation
ago a three minute horse was a very
good one indeed The best time of Flora
Temple was 2: 19} 4 in 1859. When
Nancy Hunks appeared on the scene
with her mile in 2:04, it was thought
trotting had‘reached its climax. Now
little Alix has trotted her mile in 2:03 l3.
and Robert J has paced his in 2:01},’.
The two minute horse is confidently
predicted tor the end of this century.
As with the lrotter. so with the type-
writer. The first great acceleration of
speed was made when it became possi-
ble tor nimble fingered young women
totnko direct on the typewriter lrom
dictation without the intervention oi
shorthand notes. it is not very uncom-
mon now to find an expert who can mu-
nipulate the writing machine at the
rate of 115 words a minute. the rate
which a few years ago was thought to
be good speed for the shorthand note
taker
Today there are typewriters who are
equal to ticking 011’ Hill Words :1 minute
for a short time. This necessitates ill

speed, which has llilt'll accomplished
