Labor Question.
A Model Manufacturing Village.
BY HON. B. O. NORTHROP.
ST. JOHNSOURY, VT., August 31, 1872.
How to harmonize labor and capital is
now ono of the great questions of the
age. Their alienation has recently
caused idleness, distress and crime on
the one side, and lock-oats, derange
ment of business and enormous losses
on the other. Tho many millions lately
lost in New York by mistukes on this
question furnish only a now version of
the old story of antagonisms between
those who should bo partuors. The In?
ternationals in session this week at the
Hague have ruined questions which will
perplex the Emperors of Russia, Austria
and Germany, in their interviews at Ber?
lin next week, quito as much as Bis?
marck's "guarantee for the peace of
Europe." My interest in thu practical
solution of this hard problem, now puz?
zling kings and peoples through the
oivilized world, brought mo to this
North-eastern corner of Vermont.
Here is a great manufactory of scales,
by far the largest establishment of the
kind in the world, employiug about GOO
men, and nearly 400 in branch depart?
ments elsewhere, and manufacturing
over 50,000 scales annually. They are
? f all sorts and sizes-over 300 varieties
- from the most delicate standard of the
druggist or banker, to the poudorom
hay, railroad-car, or canal-boat scales,
weighing 500 tons at a time. They are
adapted to the standards of all nations

This week, a large iuvoico was sent ti
Japan, and for a long time they havi
been sold in China, Australia, India
Persia, Turkey, Arabia, (where tho;
have been carried on mules' or camele
books,) in the Barbary States, Cap<
Colony, Sandwich Islands, Isle o
France, all the South American States
ind still more largely in the great com
oieroial nations o? tho earth. For uso ii
Europe, India and South America, th
larger proportion are based on the met ri
jystoni, which, I think, ought to be an
in timo will become the universal syi
bern, and which is already adopted b
aearly 350,000,000 of tho world's popuU
tion. The Fairbanks Compaoy ar
Lielpiug on this consummation. Man
-JI their scales are titted with doubl
joams, givinglboth tbc common and th
metric standards, thus facilitating tl
comparison and use of each. The year]
jales amount to about $2,000,000, un
tho demand is rapidly increasing. Tl
business w is never so prosperous IIB du
ing tho present season.
It has long been a marvel how such,
concern could be made a permanei
success for nearly fifty years in this r
mote oorner of the State, so far fro

freightage, the items of coal and in

i success which, in view of the diOic

country. Now, what is the explauat
jf this marvelous prosperity? Whul
die condition of tho workmen? Th
points I came hero to investigate. J
this purpose, I inspected the woi
lovering ten acres, examined tho j
lesses, talked freely with tho hands
?yell as with the owners and with
?tizens of St. Johnsbnry not connec
with the factory. To observe the hoi
ifo of the operatives, I entered tl

itatement, over the signature ol
?okahama tea merchant: "This
contains forty-eight pounds of ti

rant this tea to bo free from any art

that this slip should como to
Johusbury store, though it has
been known that "Fairbanks" wi

China as well aa io Japan. Indeed, their
acales have done more to correct the,
standards, and secure both uniformity'
and accuracy in tho weights of the
world, than all the other agencies com?
bined.
Thero is a superior class of workmen
in this establishment. All are males.
Their work is proof of skill. Their
looks and com- irsation indicate intelli?
gence. Thoy ara mostly Americans, and
oome from tho surrounding towns. More
than half of them are married, and set?
tled here as permanent residents, inte?
rested in the schools and in nil that re?
lates to the prosperity of the place.
M? ny of them own their houses, with
spacious grounds for yard and garden,
and often a barn for the poultry and cow.
These houses are pleasing in their exte?
rior, neatly furnished, and many of them
supplied with pianos and tapestry car?
pets. How different from the nomadic
factory population, swarming from
Canada and from other lands to densely
crowded tenement-houses, who never
bind themselves to civilization by a
home, mach less by a houso of their
ownl The tenement-houses, also, are
inviting and comfortable, and surround?
ed with unusually large grouuds. The
towu is managed oa temperance princi?
ples, and drunkenness, disorder and
strife among the hands are almost un?
known. Most of them are churoh-goers,
many of them church members.
I examined tho pay roll aud found the
wages very liberal. The workmen seem
well satisfied on that score. Whenever
it is possible, tho work is paid for by
the piece. The work itself is largely
dono by machinery and that sui generis,
invented here und for the special aud
peculiar results here roached. Tho mon
are encouraged to expedite their pro?
cesses by new inventions and share
largely iu the benefits of all such im?
provements. I conversed with one of
the hands who invonted a curious appa?
ratus by. which ho marka 100 register
bars with greater accuracy aud iu but
littlo moro time thau he could formerly
dj ono. Ho now finds working by the
job especially profitable. Payiug by thc
piece has worked well herc. Tho meu
say it is fairer to pay for results than by
bau rs. The worth of labor depends ou
its products. This plan stimulates in?
dustry, promotes skill, and fosters in?
ventiveness. It apportions rowards tc
the qunutity aud quality of work doue.
Dat more than all, this plan is recog?
nized by tho men as just and satisfuc
tory. With tho time left practically tc
their owu choice, thero is JO eight-houi
movemeut here. No "labor league" 01
union has ever existed-uo strike evei
been suggested. This would bo a poo:

promises to become the "Williston Se
minaro" for North-eastern Vermont,
furnishing to the ambitions youth of this
State the best academic advantages at
the lowest cost. The principal and as?
sistants, among whom I found two gradu?
