Losnox , AUK. IS. [ Correspondence of
TUB HER. ] 1 had road In the English papers ,
nnd had board m conversation , so many un
kind allusions to the way In which workmen
wore being treated by American otnployors
at Homestead and olsowhsra that I dolor-
mined to find out , if I could , what wages
wcro being paid to workmen In similar lines
ever hero. Accordlnsly I wont to Shoflleld ,
and I counted myself fortunate In being
whtrlnd thither over the road and by ttio
train vvhloh makes the fastest tlmo on roo-
ord , so far ot least as the rtillwavs In Eng
land nro concerned , viz. , from King's Cross
to Granthaiu , lo : > ' miles without stopping ,
utthoratoof fifty-four miles an hour. My
Judgment was that for information of the
particular kind aeslrod Bholileld would bo
the natural headquarters Ttio number of
people In that town who make iron and stool
for a living is something oaormous , and. as
nil the world knows , they pursue these
branches of industry with distinguished suc
cess. '
My Unit Impression was of an endless
stretch of smoke stacks and of an atmosphere
eo thick with the kind of stuff omitted there-
from that with a peed blade from ono of Iho
cutlery shops about one might almost have
cut it into dense chunks. Shefliolit is the
sort of place , ntmoaphorlcaUv considered ,
which I should imagine Old Sol would long
ago have River up as being hopelessly Joined
to Its Idols. Thin was my ilrsl Impression ,
and my next was of the hills ono has to
climb In getting about ever the town. What
I hnd been told was that Shoflleld itself was
in a sort of basin and that I should llnd a
steep rise In every direction which led out of
It , out whnt I soetnod to find was that the
bailn , useful as It might have been
for washing purposes tn so sooty
au atmosphere , was distrosslnely
Invisible , and that the whole place was
an exasperating undulation through aud
through. There was hardly any point one
wished to reach which aid not involve the
climbing of some enormous Hill of Olftlcultv ,
nnd , whnt was worse , the uphill worn in
pottmir about was moro than matched for
Borne time by the obstacles met in the search
for Information.
Why AiiinrlriiiiVtiges Are Higher.
*
The manufacturers were quite English ,
which means that they were hard to got at
and very reticent. In a country where the
clergy are boxed up for most part , as though
while dispensing the Word of Life it were
necessary to protect them securely against
the people in the pews , and where every fol
low having a tidy house and giounds walls
himself in against thu possibility of his oos-
BCsslons being oven looked at by vulgar out
siders , this reserve on tha part of largo em
ployers of labor was naturally to bo oxpecfd.
fly tact and perseverance , however , I man
aged to converse with representatives of two
firms , and was not badly received by thorn.
The Atlas works and the largo establish
ment of C. Cammoll & Co turn out stool in
enormous quantity , and for almost , all pur
poses , and it is' said that altogether they
nave something like 10,000 men la their
service. How nice It would bo , T
thought , if these concerns would favor
mo with a quiet look ut tbolr pay
rolls , and I ovoa vontuiod to suggest In their
very presence that this , or the equivalent of
It , was that , ! was after. But polite insmua-
tious were only ns sounding brass , and I had
an Inward conviction while making them
that In car ) so unused to such American lib
erties they must have sounded vorv brassy
indeed. To shoxv how utterly hopeless was
the quest undertaken , the secretary of the
v'ammoll company assured mo they bad re
fused to give information about wages , evori
when asked tor it by statisticians of iho
flritlsh government , and the gentleman
representing the other linn waived the main
Issue bv explaining that "of course wages
were higher In America than in England be
cause the restrictions against foreign compe
tition woio so much creator. "
No Cliuiioo tn nisi * . *
The American consulate is always accessi
ble , however , and the representative of the
Rlars nnd stripes In Shollleld , Mr. IJonjnmin
ITolsoui , un own cousin of the distinguished
rnanimn of liuby Kulh , und an old newspaper
man withal , I found to uo deeply interested
in labor questions and qulto ready to help ,
lu visible utte.suuloii of his patriot
ism , Mr. Folsom displays the model
of an American eagle over tbo front door of
bis oflico , nnd his conversation was found to
bo fully as patriotic as the sign ho bad hung
out. Between the condition of the workiiic
classes tn the United States and that of the
Biuno classes in England , the difference , bo
ald , was great in tbo extreme. In America
the drift wai always upward , whereas hero
It maintained a dead level. The rule in Eng
land was once n workman always a work
man , while with us large number's climbed
up. They first got a house of tholr oivn ,
nnd you would hoar of them boon after ns
mayors of cities. Ho had been visited re
cently by nn American who begun life as n
blacksmith. In England thu same man
would have boon a Olucksmith today , but
instead of this ho now has IfiO men In his
employ , and Is nn inventor whose machines
nro known all ever the world.

For the class of labor Indicated , thosu

represented the average weekly earn In pa of

and the wages given la other branches , the
question to be determined before any roll-
nnco could bo placed upon thorn lu
n comparison with American wagoi
vita whether they represented fairly
the wages obtaining hnro today. Mr.
Polsorn and hU Intelllgont oloric botu thought
they did , There may have boon a slight
fluctuation up or down in the period covered
but the/ did not bellovo tuoro hud buon iinv
great cbango ono wny or tha other. If
oltuor way , tbo tomlonoy , they thought , had
boon upward. HUH , to make sure in to this
they would udvlio too to confer with the
leading officials of tbo Federated Trades
union ; nntl here the pleasant fart transpired
akin to manv that xvo are ronstnntlv nis
covcr'ng iu England that several promi
nent labor representatives bad gained place *
recently In the ShcUlcld town council.
These were mon who nt every vloctlon "wcro
on the nlntform In behalf of labor from the
opening of the light till the last ballot was
counted. They know nil the ins and out ?
of the wage problem , were always acces
sible on the subject and wo could take our
cholco as to which wo would honor with a
call.
A Lender In Orciinl/ed I.nbor.
The gentleman visited was Mr. Charles
Hobson , who Is not only n town councilor ,
but has served for five or six years as presi
dent of the Sbcfllold Labor council , nn or
ganisation In which Jiftyllvo trades are em
braced and with a paying membership of
about 15,000. To find these English toilers
hanging together as they do , so compactly
and in such great masses , for the protection
of tholr own Interests , Is ono of the most
gratifying revelations which our trip abroad
has thus far afforded us. When , too , \vo find
mon of the stamp of Mr. Hobson self edu
cated , Intelligent , gentlemanly , self sacrific
ing willing to manage these orpatimitions
without a cent of pay , nnd while they stand
nt the forefront ot the battle for others ,
Htlll earning their own bread by dully toll ,
wo fool ns though wo had boon lot Into
the secret of this phenomenal movement. In
replying to inquiries , Mr. llobson thought
that trades unionism had certainly accom
plished something In Sheffield within recent
yonr , botti ns regarded hours of employment
andthorntoof pay. Still. In looking ever
the figures tibovo plvott , especially these re
lating to the Iron and steel trade , ho could
not help saying In all candor that , with the
qualifying remark In mv letter that the earn
ings given would probably In sotno cases bo
n llttlo lower than these actually paid at thn
piosent time , thu list could bo consistently
published In thn Amoiier.n press , and mignt
bo properly used with slight modifications in
any comparison which might bo deslrod with
the wages of ttlnnlar workmen In the United
State ) .
Homo Blend VeiMi * Sheffield.
So fur so irood , but upon the ono pressing
matter which 1 hau gone to Shefllold specially
to Investigate , this gentleman nnfoiUinntcly
was not nblo to enlighten us. 1 hnd a news
paper clipping giving a catalogue of thirty-
four different occupations in which men hnd
been engaged at Homestead , with the amount
of wages which It was estimated would fall
to the lot of these different workmen
under the now scale ottered thorn , nnd
that which I wanted to had out
was what the same class of men
wcro oainlng per duy In Sheffield at the pros-
nut tlmo. This Mr. Hobson said , ho could
not tell , and the employers bavins previously
averred that they would -iot afford this In
formation the prospect looked bad. Hut I
got It approximately from Mr J. Frcouor-
ough , local secretory of the Friendly Society
of Iron Workers , whoso name , as ono likely
to bo familiar with such matters , had been
given mo by the rcnoral secietary ol the
same society in London. Mr. FrecboroucU
had boon allowed twenty-four hours for re
flection and Inquiry. Hence ho did not
i np'uk at Yamlom nor In hasto. The names
! id out to him wore dllToront In some c.isos ,
ho said , from those in use over here , but ho
know tbo kind of work involved , nnd from a
long practical acquaintance in mills und
furnaces bo could estimate within u trifle
what each man's wages would bo.
Speaking generally , the men wotked by
tbe'turn , ho said , and a day turn lasted from
U to 5. In changing English monov into
American wo hnvo counted an English
pound to bo worth * . " > , and as thin Is moro
than its real value thu Englihhinan has that
much advantage ever the American In the
following Mblo , which shows in the Ilrst

These Jiguros will amply repav study. Mr.
Frooborough may have uoon n little out in
some of his estimates , but when they were
lead over to him , with the caution that I
should prefer to have him give a llguio iu
excess of what was paid rather than below
it , ho felt certain that if lie had erred at all
that was precisely the fault of which ho had
been guilty. Tnst he cannot bo far out can
bo proved from another source , for in a re
port of .1. Schoenhof , late nons'tl at Ttiustall ,
to which my attention was directed by Mr.
Folsom , proaont consul at Sliofliold. wo fount !
a contrast drawn between a largo steel mill
In eastern Pennsylvania and another in
England , which shows that while the average -
ago dally wages for alt employed in the
former was , in dollars and cents , & 3.17X , the
ovorat'J for all in the latter was $1 ; > 3.
Tills klud friend , as 1 was taking leave ,

"Thoro's a voting fellow who's in America

"What does ho oarnJ" I Inquired.
"Three dollars a day. "
"What did ho got hero for the same kind

"Six and oightponco , " which is about

Hnro was nn oblont taison rlirht rn the

time from the awful smoke of the town by
an omnibus ride to the top of the very high
est of trio hilts , where I supposed the poor
manufacturois of Sliofliold would bo bluing
their rugs from the guia of opulent work
men. 1 thought of them as being poor be
cause ono of tholr number hud spoken sp
strongly that vorv day of the tondonov of

and the Camniolls have their abode , were pot
the huts of poverty bv any moans , but the
pretentious inclosures of what could only bo

Japan , Aug. 1. [ Corros-
pondeuco of IIIK BiJii.j "If you Americans
want to see nature and fun nnd love and
sentiment , " said Sir Eawm Arnold ns ho
sat on the verandah of the tirand hotel at
Yokohama , "go up to Mlyanoshlta , the Sar
atoga of Japan. "
"Whoro is it ! " I uikod.
"Four hours from hero , on the mountain-
two by tram , an hour with horses , nn hour
in itogos and Jlurikishas , and Ilium you can
sit in that croat bird cage , the Fujiyu hotel ,
and flirt with pretty girls in lour languages. "
"Pretty girls In four languages" settled It ,
and wo wore off for the Japanese Saratoga.
The load lay through rice fields or rural vil
lages where they were pounding rice or
weaving cloth for the Japiuoso kimono. In
many cases the woman were docolloto to
their waists , children naliod as nugoU and
mon protected only by a strip around the
loins , J3ul there was no conscious immod
esty. A man wltti the slnows of a Hercules
would meet a powerful woman and then
would coma a siege of Japanoso-polltonoss :
"It is a moat honor to moot ) our honorable
self , " says the woman , smiling and bowing
double.
"No , you confer an honor upon mo , and
( bowing uluiou to the ground ) 1 am aston
ished that ono so honorable should speak to
n pigmy like myself. "
"Your polltoiss ( bowing still lower ) over
comes mo. "
"And your gracious condescension ( bowIng -
Ing almost to the ground ) fills mo with hap
piiioss. "
Ana so these naked Chesterfields go on
with a dozen moro kind sayings and polite
bows for llvo minutes.
All the houses wu passed were as open as
sheds , and tbolr whole Interiors could betaken
taken in at a glance. Thcro wcro no chairs ,
no tables , no beds , no stoves , but always a
bcmon , n flower vase and a bathtub , Somo-
ilmo-i the bathtub , which Is a half barrel , was
In the back room , nnd sometimes in front. It
is warmed once a day by u llttlo sheet-iroa
steve In the side ot thu tub , the pipe of which
runs through th > ) half barrel A handful
of charcoal warms the water for a whole
family or a hotel. They do not bathe , but
siniplv sitthure and soalc. Often the members
of sovcr.il families will bo seen oathlng to
gether. Caitor Harrison , who wrote a
mobt interesting boolc on Japan , says lie was
once bathing with bis two sons when a J'ipa-
ticso lady nnd gentleman got into the biimo
bath. "Seeing wo were foreigners , how-
uver , " said MY. Harrison , ' 'they politelv
bowed themselves out. " If there hud not
been a law passed obliging all Japanese to
wear breech cloths rural Japan would go
naked today , and the pcoplo would do It in
utlor innocence. These naked people ate as
knightly as a bare-logged Spartan King. In
three months in Japan I bavo not sect ) a
drunken nor an angiy man. Neither have I
soon a saloon , and rarely n mcatmarket.
Tobacco is seldom used , and opium novor.
The diet ot the people is as innocent as tholr
costume.
After sitting an hour in a tram car , riding
along rico fields where women were booing
rico with their bands as they walked Unco
deep in the water , wo strucit the Kago car
riers who carried us up the mountain to Mi-
yanoshita. Now cumo a test ot manhood
Our party of three had very stupidly brought
u2UO pound Saratoga trunk instead of 10-
packing our Ihincb Into Japanese baskets.
Our ICagu carriers looked at the great trunk
and then looked at the Fujiya hotel four
miles uway on the top of the mountain. Then
they laughingly tied aropoaround the trunk ,
put a polo through It and started on a fox
trot with the hugo weight.
"HeroslopI" ( Ol choito ) I said. "Leave
it. It will kill you. "
Can do I" they laughed nnd on they wont
nnd when > ho first jinrikUha reached the
hotel , there stood uiy two coolies with the
trunk I I rould not lift ono end of this Sara
toga. The strongest hotel porter tvoulil have
nsked HO cent < to carry it up one pair of
stairs In Amoiica , and these athletes had car
ried it on a run four miles up a mountain and
when I paid them ,0 cents apicc < 2 , the regu
lar price , they thanked us os'er again , and
bowed throe times to tbo ground.
"Forshamol" said my tonuer-hr-artcd wife
with toar.s in her eyes , "Give them more ,
double it , such brave , grand men I"
"All right , " I suld pattmir the mon on
their sinewy backs , "laUo more , " and they
laughed and crlod with joy as thev took it.
1'ho watering place hotels hero are like
great birj cages , and pretty Japanese waiter
girls drowsed in kimonos and brilliant obis
( sashes ) flock through hulls and ( lining-
rooms like birds. Always laughing like the
throe llttlo maids from school ami always in
nocently modest they are too. Somotlmo3 I
see the young gentlemen guests admiring
the prottv hands and necks of the girls as
they pat their rod cheeks When 1 asked
'
Koko'and Mete what wages they received
they said In broken English :
"Wo got 52 a month und our pretty
clothes. "
"But the presents you cot I"
"Wo give these to master and at the end
of the year ho makes us a present. "
The prices at the Fuilyu like all Japanese
hotels Is $ . ) a day. The hotels nro always un
in thu mountains above thu clouds and look
out on Fnjiyma. This is a favorite lesort of
Sir Edwin Arnold. The poet finished
writing today a Japanese drama for a Lon
don manager , to bo put on the stage in Japa
nese costumes.
"O , yes , " ho said as ho road a romantia
section of the plav , "I have put iu a lot of
coloring and plenty of slncrmc nnd dancing
L-ii'ls. In tact I am an old band ut the
drama , and I shall put In what Tennyson
loft out. I nm ollored i.,000 for the play. "
The guests of this Japanese Saratoga are
cosmopolite. There nro goldtm-halrod
Yanko'j girls- from Boston und Chicago , the
.solemn English girl nnd tbo phlegmatic Ger
man girl who drinks beer at IVolsbaduu.
The American girl abroad is always to the
front. Sha dances prettier , flirts harder
und climbs higher than any of the rest. She
gets an autocraph from Sir Edwin While the
English gill is asleep , and has the English
girl's lover at nor foot wbllo she plays tbo
Sarmson , the .Japanese banjo.
In the evening It was amusing to see the
Jupiinc.se guests try to dance the round
dances. The Japanese arc bound to become
European. Thu iimpuror and empress dress
in European costumes , walk on English car
pets and cat French dishes. The swell young
Japanese has his Tuxedo and the girls nru
struggling Into kid gloves and cornets. Tnulr
little feet , always accustomed , to sandals ,
nrjlio in kid slippers , but the empress has
said Chinese methods must go and the swell
girls and boys are bound to give up sandals
and kimonos , quit chop sticks and the gelatin
dancing and whirl lu tbo german.
After the dunce was over I peeped through
n lattlcjwork and saw a oovy of laughing
Japanese boau'.los taking a rest. They had
thrown off kid nllppers and corsets and put
their bare tcotintosundalti and were squatted
cro.ialoggod on the floor resting I Dear cor-
hbtloss children of nature , how they enjoyed
awoot and picturesque liberty after an hour's '
debaucbo in civilized fashion and flirting.
Some of thp haughty old dalnnoi , the
proud fellows who lost their swords when
tun tulkado squelched the tycoon In 1SG3 ,

Sometimes bo ctieoks his sundnU , but walk *

kimono Is a Koman toga and a grand old
Japanese daimlo looks not uitllxu the statue
of Auguitui lu Homo.
Going down the mountain from Mlyanos
hlta the next day In Jinrlkshult ivas amusing
to watch these romautlo Yunkoo girls behind
tholr broad breasted muscular coolies. When
the naked acrobats would turn u proclplco
down which you look hundreds of feet Into
foaming cataracts , tbo girls would scream
with glee ; and tbo coolies would look around
proud of tholr burdens. Hut what a con
trast. In the JluriKlsha win tbo bright cul

Among thO'iTiVmerionns here are Hobor

Daniel FrohrrMh'i * loading lady nl the

"YoJ , " said my wlfo , "she is nn actress. "

"Not nt all , " snla my wlfo. "American

It seems that acting Is not n high calling
