In- stead, he ought to question himself anxiously—and if he has doubts find out what is just and right. He may be sure that in the long run On the other hand, the employee ought to get himself into a reasonable frame of mind. He is sure that his employer understands the value of his services. But is he sure that he himself does not overestimate his own value? A strike is human; but it is also barbar- ous. It is a eign that eomebody is unjust and unreasonable. Sometimes the employer is to blame, sometimes the employees, often—perhaps most often—both. Rarely indeed is all the right on one sido and all the wrong on the other. But along with this news of strikes there is news of arbitration. A fow years ago arbitration was scoffed at by both sides. Em- ployers and employees, at the very outset of their disagreements, flow intoa fury. Reason, justice, common sense, self-interest, were flung away. The employers denounced the employees as ingrates, impu- dent rascals who were biting the hand that fed them. The em- ployees denounced the employers as tyrants, monsters of greed, sucking the life-blood of the toiler. We still have a good deal of that wild talk.

Sometimes Mr. Edison appears on the verge of going too far with his inventions. We like him in electric lights and phonographs and storage batteries and such sorts of things. But when he breaks forth in the line of cement by means of which houses are to be con- strueted by a pouring process, in standing moulds, we have to pause and think. Nor need we be members of the bricklayers’, stonc- | masons’ or plasterers’ union to see objections to the new idea. Variety is more than tho spico of life.’ It is the beauty of a properly built-up Suburbanville. Every well-regulated mind rebels at rows of outlying ‘“own-your-own-homes” Is EDISON ‘TO structures wherein each house is exactly like cases Saas the one next door—with the same number of AWFUL white marble steps, if near Philadelphia or MONOTONY? Pee eeeeene enema Baltimore. But under the new Edison plan, would not these too frequent rows become more frequent yet, to the dismay of architects and the despair of artists? We hate to discourage invention. But for pity’s sake, Mr. Edi- son, think again about that plaster, or else call a hurry-up plan for the cheap and rapid diversification of moulds, Out of the Ordinary. “Tt was a terrible meraliiance if there ever was one.” “L waa not aware’ — “An awful mesalliance.
