Labor in New South Wales
(By United States Consul Baker.)
All business, or nearly all. in New
South Wales Is conducted through
"trade Industrial unions." Up to
March. 1903. 10S unions of employees
and eighty-two unions of employers
had been registered in the arbitration
oourt. When a union has been duly
registered it becomes amenable to the
arbitration laws.
The court consists of three members,
one of which Is a judge of the supreme
court. All disputes between employers
and employees that can not be adjusted
between the parties concerned privately
are tried in this court, and its decisions
are binding and final. Here wages,
hours of labor, and holidays are ad
justed.
Each union makes its own laws for
the government of its members, but on
application for registration these laws 1
are submitted to the court, and regis
tration may be refused on the ground 1
of unsatisfactory laws. Once regis- J

by consent of the court. Each union,

The length of a day's work has been
fixed generally at eight hours and the

The state is the largest employer of
labor, as the railways, tramways, tele

managed by the government. Besides
these, the custom-houses, shipping

Mistaken Diagnosis
(Philadelphia Post.)
Albert Levering, the black-and-white
artist responsible for so many 'comics,'
used to live In Chicago, but recently
transferred his allegiance to New York.
He took his hypoohondrical tendencies
with him, and they are still In good
working order. Hls favorite pastime Is
to read of some deadly disease, prefer
ably a new one, lie awake all night,
seek his doctor in the morning and get
assured that he was in perfect health
and then go back to work cheerfully.
One morning he turned up at the
doctor's just as the man of medicine
was getting Into his carriage.
"I'm in a hurry," called the doctor,
"and can't stop to see you—but its all
right—you haven't got It."
"Haven't got what?" demanded the
astonished artist. •
"Whatever It is you think you've got.
Not a symptom of It. Good-bye," and
he drove away.
"Well, now'." said Levering, turning
to a lamp post as the only witness of
the scene, "that's the time he's mis
taken. I know' live got it—ten dollars
In my pocket to pay my last bill; but
If he's sure I haven't I'll try and get in
