Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 October 1902 — A Country That Has No Strikes. [ARTICLE]

A Country That Has No Strikes.

The JChurch Review says: — “New Zealand has done the most daring things ever attempted by any modern government. The New Zealanders claim that New Zealand is a country without strikes. Laborers and employers have the disputes there as else* where, but the one cannot quit work, or the other lock out workmen pending a settlement of the dispute in courts. It is also a country without paupers or poor-houses, for injured workmen are cared for by their employers. The aged workman is pensioned by the Government as a soldier of industry worn out in the ranks. The Government owns not only the postal system, but the express service, the telegraph lines and the railroads. Recently it has purchased a coal mine to supply its locomotives with fuel, and it intends to compete with private mines in the sale of coal to the public far enough to keep- the price of coal down to a reasonable figure.’' There is not a pauper in New Zealand.

Now is the time to clean chimneys, and Harry Wiltshire is the man to clean them.
