That part of the Utter ia aa fol lows: I asked as to the feellcg between labor asd capital. 35r. Tregear replied: -I think it ia very good. Aa 1 told jest, we have cot had a strike for aev ea year, asd there are no Indications tht we shall have any in the future. The gatercm.t has enacted certain factory laws acd our arbitration and conciliation acta remove the possibili ties of strikes." ""Give ise eocse Idea of your factory law, Mr. Tregear, said L Te la a s regulate the building asd saeagement f the factories. They r- - ire that the boilding be well ven Uiited asd that the machinery be so protected as to preserve the life and health of the employes. Every factory E3tst hare certain sanitary arrange cezta. It mutt be kept clean and mt5t farr.Uh fresh drcklng water. "As to the management of the fac tcritf," the lecretary for labor went oa, "ve Lave csasy laws to protect the 0rfcinron. and especially the cr-iocs. The factory law is such that it include nearly every worklngman In tLe coostry. A factory is denned as a place in which two or more per- soua are working for hire at any trade or handier!!; any such place comes under the Lurt&ry act and u subjwt to gorEt-ct iEptifcn. "And are all factories Inspected? I "Evry oe. of tteta. replied Mr. Trgar. "We have a chief inspector xi.u 13 lent inspectors. The country !j d:vidrd vp Itxo dUtricts and each Is under the ciart of one of these In i porters. By law the factories must l open to sues inspection at any time of the dy or nirtt and their managers tt'ctr rive ail Information desired as to the workmen or workwomen.

This is to protect the health of the glrL" "Up to what age do you keep your children out of the factories?" I asked. "We do aot allow any to be em ployed under 14 and all under 16 must cava passed through the fourth grade of the public schools. No woman, and no boy or girl under 18, can be em ployed for more than four hours and a half without an interval for meals. We provide that all the meals shall be taken outside the work rooms. This is to prevent any work being done dur ing meal hours. - "How about wages, Mr. Tregear? Are any of your people paid in orders on stores? , "No. we have strict laws as to such matters. The payment for labor in goods ia illegal. In actions for wages, goods or articles furnished by the em ployer or supplied on his premises can cot be brought forth as a set-off. nor can the employer sue his clerks for things so bought. Workmen must be paid in money, and at least once a month, if they so desire. In absence of written agreements those engaged In manual labor must be paid weekly, and if not so paid they can attach all money due or thereafter to become due to the employer on the work. The wages of those who receive less than per week cannot be touched lor the removing them after having been affixed up to $100. No Canadian Trusts "Canada's tariff stands as a warn ing to trusts wherever they come from," said the Hon. William Mulock, postmaster-general of the dominion government. Mr. Mulock is in England en route from Australia as Canada s official representative at the inaugura tion of the hew commonwealth. Referring to the report that the Mor gan steel combine covets the Canadian iron industry, Mr. Mulock continued: "Our tariff laws provide a ready and effective cure for the appetite of manu facturing concerns, individual or cor porate. Whenever they produce a commodity and try to encroach on the general good of the community by throttling trade or manipulating prices the dominion cabinet has the authority immediately to place that commodity on the free list. This lias acted as a powerful deterrent in' the past and would be unhesitatingly used in the future."

Taath lowing: "Farm hands with board get from 112 to $20 per month, and without board from $1 to $1.75 per day. Shepherds receive from $250 to $350 per year, and shearers about 5 cents per sheep. The sheep shearers have their union and regulate wages. "Masons, bricklayers, plasterers and carpenters get from $2 to $3 per day. and plumbers and painters about the Good potatoes per bushel. . . same. Saddlers are paid irom si.o to $2.50, shoemakers from $1.50 to $2.50, and watchmakers from $2 to $3." As to common every-day laborers. they get from $1.25 to $2.25 per day of eleht hours. Engineers receive from $2 to $3 per day, tailors from J1.7& to 12.50. butchers from $5 to $8 per week and compositors from $10 to $15 per week. In dry goods stores clerks are paid from $7.50 to $20 per week; grocery clerks receive from $4.50 to $1 per week and bakers about the same. The wares vary In the different provinces of New Zealand, the highest being paid in the gold fields. The government has a minimum wage for certain classes. According to law every one who works in the fac tories must receive something. It is impossible to retain an apprentice merely for the privilege of learning a trade. Toung people under 18 years of age must be paid at least $1 per week if they are girls and $1.25 a week if they are boys, irrespective of over time, and by the factory act the pay for overtime cannot be less than 12 cents an hour. , The labor department hss its em ployment bureaus at Wellington and at 200 other places, covering all parts of New Zealand. At these bureaus those who want work and those who want workers register and the govern ment brings the two together. This is so not only as to factories, but as to domestic service and farm hands. From these bureaus the government gets many of its employes for the pub lic works and in some cases it ad vances money to laborers to take them to their new places of employment. In one year more tnan 2,000 men ob tained work through these bureaus and of this number more than 1,100 were married and with their families repre sented a population of almost 5,000. New Zealand does all it can to pre vent sweating or house industry at starvation wages. There are laws against taking work home from the factories, and the employer who al lows his workmen to do so is subject to a penalty not to exceed $50, while the workman himself can be fined $25. All work done for factories outside the factories by other parties must be re corded and also the names and ad dresses of the persons by whom said work la dga. together with the amount paid far the same.

Lootea Hnonaua Maafelaaataa Is AJmoat a Zoas Art. Mastication is rapidly becoming a lost art, and, although we hare be come hardened to the fact that three- fourths of the dyspepsia is due to this cause.it might surprise some of us to know that the early decay of teeth and disease of the gums are occasioned by this same lack of maxillary exercise. A disease of the gums, called Bigg's disease, which is every day becoming more common, is -caueed almost en tlrely by want of proper mastication. Twenty-five years ago this trouble was not considered of any Importance by the dentist, on account of its rare oc currence. Today It Is giving more care than the decay of the teeth, as he is frequently consulted by patients who have full sets of natural teeth which are quite loose in the Jaw. Aside from this they are sound and healthy, and after a certain development in the disease nothing can be done to help them. y lack ' of exercise, the blood which should nourish both the bones and the gums is not carried to the parts; nor does the blood carry sufflclnent material to the teeth; hence the enamel formed is defecive and early decay results. Frequently, too, the mechanical development of the Jaw is arrested by this same want of motion. Among the earlier races de fects of the Jaw and teeth were al most unknown. In examining the skulls of thousands of Indians, early Britons and Chinese, not a single ir regularity of the Jaw is found, and the teeth that are present are sound and well formed. The food which they lived upon, such as roots, herbs, corn and uncooked meats, required a good deal of chewing in order to prepare It for the changes to follow, and as a result the muscles of the jaw were dense and hard, the bones well devel oped and compact, the teeth large. regular and firm. Most of the food among the better class of people to day i3 cooked so as to require very little mastication, and the consequence is that the muscles have become flab by, he Jaws slender, and the processes for the attachment of muscles almost obliterated. a e 4 r (S e 4 A es ts r A ts Mrne.
