bU a o: jl47, eD titled, - "An act , ins
creasing the pension of Andrew J.
HiU.?? This bill doubles the pension
which the person named therein has
been receiving for a number of years.
It : appears from the t report, of the
committee to which the bill, was re
ferred that the claim made by him
for increased pension has been lately
rejected by the pension bureau on the
ground that the claimant is now re
ceivjngA pension commensurate with
4he degree of disability , found to ex
ist Tne policy of frequently revers
ingrhy special enactment, the decis
ions of the bureau invested by law'
with the examination . of - pension
olajnj8, f ully ( equipped for such-! ex-
-aminationV and. which ought pot to
be suspected of any act o liberality
to our veteran soldiers, -is exceeding-,
ly questionable. ; - , "K:
; It may well be doubted that if the
committee of Congress has any bet
ter opportunity than such agency to
judge of the merits of this claim. If,
however, there is-any lack of power
in the pension bureau for a full inves
tigation, it should 'be supplied. If
tne system agoptea.is inadequate to
do full justice to claimants, it should
be corrected ; and if there is want of
sympathy and consideration for the
defenders of cur government, the bu
reau should be'reorganized. i -.
The disposition to concede most
ganerous treatment to the disabled,
aged and needy among our veterans
should not be restrained and it must
be admitted that in. some cases jus
tice and equity carnot be' attained
without the charitable tendencies o
the government in favor of worthy
objects of its " care indulged 'under
free rules J' These conditions some-.
times justify a resort to special legist
lation, bat I am convicted that jnter?'
position by special enactment in
granting pensions should be rare and
exeeptionaLSrici;?:-?- "f'" "
In tho nature Af things,.if; thisT is
lightly done and upauslightLbccasiOD
an invitation is offered to the passage
of claims by Congress, wtoicd, Upon
their merits, could not survive the
test of an examination by the pension
bureau, and whose only hope of suc
cess depends more upon the sympas
thy xf the misdirected than upon
right and justice.' ;i.v. 'T;
t; The instrumentality devised by
law for the determination of pension
claims is thus overruled and decided,
and there is danger, in the end that
populai prejudice, - will be created
against those who are V worthy and
entitled to the bounty of the govern-,
ment. i-1 -. ;.. r. -1- -" - .
'-There have lately been presented to
me on the same day,! for approval,
nearly 240 special bills granting and
increasing pensions and , restoring to
the pension list "names of parties,
which, for caus1?, have been dropped.;
To aid the executive in his duty, they
were referred to the pension bureau
for examination and r report." After
delay absolutely necessary, they
have been returned to me within a
lew tooryof the limi L constitntio!
ly provided for executive ; action.
Two hundred d thirty-two of these

claims were mciitorious and that on
the passage of the bills the govern
ment has waived full i proof of tacts.

Some Interesting Statistics from
' the Annual Report of tbe .Labor
Bureau. - I
NewToakSoju - :
' The last annual report of the New
York Bureau of Statistics of Labor
tabulates official information -as to
222i strikes f which . occurred in this
State during the year ending Novem
ber 1st. 1885. ' Of these ; strkes 97
were fuocessful,' 34 failed, 32 were
compromised; and 9 were still pend
ing. The number of persons engaged
in them was 2b866,.and they involv
ed an expenditure of $206,159 68," a
sum which does not include the
heavy loss in wages to the strkers or
the great loss borne by : the em
ployes. ; But large as these figures are.lthe
bureau does not pretend to give a
full list of the strikes of the year, for
it is bampered'for the want of funds,
and numerous strikes occurred about
which the only positive - information
given is that "the majority wra vet,
tied by some one of the different sim
ple forms of conciliation or arbitrat
ion which owed their origin to ' the
efforts of trade unions. i
s Commissioner Peck expresses his
thanks to the greater part of those
organizations in the. State for aid
rendered in securing such facts as he
gives; yet he had a right to expect
their active and cordial assistance,
for the reason that the bureau was
established in legpoDseto the demand
of laborers and for benefit of laborers
more especially. sj
Yet it eeeufe that some of . tbepro
fessed friends of labor have 'done
their best to foil the efforts . of the
Commissioner.: They are the "small
bands of agitators in New York and
Brooklyn who manage ' to - subsist
upon the prejudices of poor working
men, who, from fear, of being dig-,
charged if they serve on committees,
are forced to accept the services of
this class." ; The marplots have tried
to frighten the employed by pre :
tending that facte given to the bu
yeau would be used to the disadyan--tage
of labor, though, as the Commis
sioner says, -the - information " is so
presented that it cannot possibly: do
injury to any one; - and -thei more
complete it is the more useful it will
be to all4 - s - J V i r:
; The development of such a body of
professional agitators is an evil result
of t he organization, of labor:- against
which the workingmen will need, to
contend more nd ' more earnestly.
Idlers and shysters, whose whole ob
ject in life isv to . get 'along, . without.
work win try to lorce tnemsejves on
the unions, and will work harder, to
get pay for their impudence the more
powerful ' the associations of real :
workmen become.-' v.v-: ;i ' '. '
I The interference of these New York
and Brooklyn agitators, Commis
sioner Peck tells us,"induced the bu
reau to obtain a mass of - testimony
regarding them which j it " would not
otherwise thought . of seeking, and
which places them in a very unenvi
able light.: It was found that, for
thd most part, they are not working
men at all, certainly not mechanics,
and therefore not entitled to speak
foraclas which has most to do with
strikes.1' Several of them, he adds
have done no work at all for a time,
"and one at least, was subsisting, on
the labor of bis wife at the- lime he
was urging labor organizations to re--fuse
information to the bureau. - j j
I The tes-inaony taken from the emj
ployed themselves shows that "on ly .
in very rare instances are strikes fa
voredlor v encouraged by the work
ing people of the State.'? The official
leaders of trades unions prefer to see
the difficulties of ; labor settled in
some less destructive way, and they
admit that many strikes arevill-ad-vised;"
The older organizations "rare
ly enter upon a strike until after givC
ing the matter mature consideration;
and weighing the chances of success
or failure," but those which are just
beginning to-; try the -power - of the
anion' '"are anxious , to receiyethe
baptism of fire, , and enter...' upon
strikes upon the slightest provoca
tion." ' v1;.- - -
Yet there is a growth. of conserva
tism aa to that method ; of . warfare,'
for great as the number of strikes
last year may seem . to the general
public, Commissioner PecXJorma the
opinion, from information he hae
gathered from personal ? interviews
with workmen that 8trikes are )n
the decrease in . the older . organiza
tions at least, or Tather that :eyery,
attempt is made to.prevent themy
"As a rule,", he- says, ,f urthervhn
ion men dread a strike as - much as
the emnlover does .They say that A
loss to one or both 'will result, and.
that time alone will - show the - out
come." y- ji ?"1yt- -lg
The richer the union the less the
chancer of A strike.a J 'Employeri -do
pot care to invite a strike -with a
trade which has a good treasury, be
cause' success is always '.doubtful."
Therefore M.r Peck expresses the be-,
lief that the establishment of strike
funds will serve to discourage strikes,
and the experience of the. English
unions .sustains ' the opinion, ; t The
obiection that large funds are a temp
tation to dishonesty he meets by re
ferring to testimony to the effect that
in several cases in this country where
unions have established such funds
the money has been fully guarded. v
j. Witness also testified that strikes
started by their unionB in other States
cost them' great" sums, as ' much as
$200,000 in , one instance and $65,000
in- another, having been' expended
without dishonesty. "Besides," con
tinued Mr. Peck, "the legalization of
trade unions, which there is every
reason. - to suppose will be a thing of
the near: feature, will give .ample
nrotection to these funds." - r.'
j The Commissioner lays down these
injunctions aa the conclusion of bis
remarks of strikes: v"It is the ex
treme of ; folly- to engage in a pro
tracted strike and then return to
work At the lowest possible rates.
Another foolish policy Is to Strike
for an advance on A falling market;
The men who advise this are the real
enemies of their kind. ; It is crimi
nal follV and they., are morally re-.
sponsible for the misery and suffer-
