Former Labor Commissioner fli
Hale On Restriction of Output
ENGLAND SUFFERS FROM SYSTEM
In Tills Country, However, Mr. Mc-
Hale Say* Wurknmuly Pride In- .
■urea Aunlnit Danger.
Since the rapid growth of the organized
labor interest the question has occasion
ally been raised as to whether the Amer
ican laborer would ever jeopardize the in
terests of his employers by following the
-'ca' canny" or "go easy" system, as it is
said the English trades people are doing.
Among those who deny that the working
men here will resort to the adoption of
a method so unfair to increase in wages
and shorten hours is Martin McHale, 2425
Twenty-fifth avenue S, a stone mason
and formerly state labor commissioner.
He explains that the natural pride of the
American laborer, which incites the keen
est competition even among those em
ployed on the same piece of work or in
the same mill or factory, will not admit of
any such agreement to "soldier" deliber
ately and malicionsly, as reports show
that the Britishers have perfected.
To the "ca' canny" system the London
Times ascribes the inability of the Eng
lish manufacturer to compete successfully
with his rival in the United States. It is
asserted that this method of coercion 'has
been carried to such an extent as to place
employers utterly at the mercy of the<
men who do their work. The latter "get
together" and say that they shall do thus
and so, and because of the strength of
their organization, are able to dictate to
their employers. The plan of the work
ingmen seems to be to restrict the output
or to make it "commensurate" with the
wages the workers receive, and this, it is
said, is carried to such an extreme that
the industries have been sorely affected.
The laborers, it is said, have recently
been demanding^ ridiculously high wages,
wages that are out of proportion to any
that have ever been paid for service of
the same sort and wages that have, in
their determniation, no consideration of
the relative value of the work or the
product.
This, Mr. McHale says, could not pre
vail in |he United States. He argues
that, in the first place, the workingmen of
England are not "made of the same stuff"
as those of America. Here the individ
ual pride, the inherent desire of each
worker to excell his fellow in every way,
would make it impossible for any number
of them to get together on such a proposi
tion as calls for "loafing." It is true that
the union movement asks for as high
wages as can be paid with justification
by the employer, and as short hours. But
the interests of the employer are always
considered, he says. For the American
tradesman, with his energy and "push,"
to think of entering into such an agree
ment as the British laborers have made,
Mr. McHale-believes, would simply be out
of the question.
FREE MANUAL TRAIXIXG
l.o<*:il Labor Unions Don't Approve '
the « iiiciijfd <>i>[)ositioi>. i
The recent action of several of the labor <
unions of Chicago in taking ground in op- i
position to the teaching of ihanual train- '
ing in the public schools mee.ts with no j
indorsement from organized labor in Mm- (
neapolis. On the contrary, labor leaders i
here very generally take a strong stand '
in its favor. The Chicago unions oppose ]
manual training as a useless and expen- [<
sive fad, that accomplishes no lasting \>
benefit, and tends to throw into the trades '
a lot of half-trained youths to increase ]
the competition and lower the wage scale, i
The local labor men say that they can '
not see where manual training can possi- '
bly injure organized labor. The new men \
entering the trades must stand or fall on .
their actual merits as workmen. The fact '
that they have had the advantages of '
manual training does not mean that they '
will be accepted as finished workmen un- '
less their abilities warrant it. If they \
fall short of the demands of their trade i
they will have to serve an apprentice- '
ship the same as any one else. The only !
possible result of manual .training, as they \
see It, is that boys will pick up a trade i
somewhat more quickly than those not '
having the school training in the use of '
tools, and will be prepared to take rank \
as a skilled mechanic sooner than other- i
wise would be the case. Possibly some '
boys would be led to take up a trade '
through the influence of manual training \
who might under other circumstances fol- i
low some other line of work, and thereby <
add to the yearly increase in the number '
of workmen in a trade. But where is the \
harm in that? the labor men ask. The (
main effect of manual training, they '
think, would be seen mostly in the wood !
working trades.
- STONECUTTERS' SEASON ENDS .
Journeymen and Bosses Celebrate
the Occasion Socially.
The present season has been the most
prosperous in ten years for the Minneapo
lis stone cutters. The season closed offi
cially last week and the members of the
stonecutters' union and the bossese cele
brated the event by coming together at
Alexander's hall . Saturday night for a
social session. All was harmony and I
both sides were hopeful for a continua- 1
tion of the amity and good fellowship of !
the past season. There were speeches
by some of the bosses and members of '
the union and each side had naught but \
praise and encouragement to offer the i
other. ■■' ■ - f$ ' ,1 - ,
There were two strikes during the year, '
one for an advance of 5 cents per hour in \
the wage scale and the other against the j!
order discontinuing smoking in, the yards, j'
Th men won both. They now have an 1
eight-hour day and receive 50 cents per
hour. - I (

Store News of the Minneapolis

WHAT a Christmas it must have been, if the business here mirrors the
general sentiment of things. So many people never found their
way to this store before. There must have been something in

as to the through traffic. This "steady in
