if they want a drink, but if they
choose to go to Trenton or elsewhere
there will be nothin* to prevent their
doing so. Being irf absolute possession
and ownership of the houses and. ho-

a position to dispense with the com-
pnny of any man who abuses his privi-
leges. By declining to rent him a

for him to reach his work as to virtu-

charging him they would remove any
reason for his desiring to remain in

Whatever else the project may be.
It does not include the attempted pla-
cating of labor unions, for there are
none in the Roebling works, which has
the distinction not only of being the
largest plant of its kind outside the
United States Steel corporation, but is
generally recognised as one of the

principle.

fact that all the construction is of
brick. Only the least possible amount
of wood is being used in the building
of the houses and hotela. Although
more expensive in the rst instance,
permanency is gained and the cost of
maintenance will be considerably less-
ned. In this feature, again, the Roeb-
lings insist that they are actuated by
nothing but business principles.
Within little more than a year it is
planned to have aceommodations for
3,000 workmen Already turee hotels
have been built for unmarried men.
forty-eight double houses with all mod-
ern conveniences for the higher grade
of employee and seventy-two double
houses uf medium grade, and a contract
is about to be let for the erection of
ninety houses in blocks of ten each.
Hotel lAke Private Club.
A hotel conducted on the plan of a
private club, and a department store
are other features of the project. Th*
hotel is already in successful operation
and the store will be opened May 1. An
assembly building where dances and
entertainments may be given in planned
for the immediate future, and included
in th* seheme i* a schoolhoUse and per-
haps a church. Within two years 60*
mor* houses will be erected and more
as necessit;for them arises Four high
grade houses for the highest grade
foreman will be faished in u short time,
None of the streets will be less than
eighty feet wide and most of them wili
he 10*. Even this breathing space will
be enhanced by yards fifteen test deep,
making the stretch from house front
to house front from 110 to 130 feet.
Dividing each street through the middle
is a parkway, s<>.1.led and flanked by
rows of trees. At great expense sugar
maples are being transplanted in
ground prepared for them by heavy fer-
tilisers. Rapid of growth and already
twenty fest high, the maples will in a
few years attain such dimensions as to
giv* effective shade.
Practically a new surface soil is be-
ing added to the front and back yards
of the houses and another year will see
well kept land where there is aow only
sand and stunted weeds. And not only
are the Roeblings thus providing for
the pleasant surroundings of the em-
ployes' homes, but they will maintain
the lawns as well ae the street park-
ways.
Disavowing all that is altruistic, they
are planting fruit trees in the back
yards and choosing the varieties with
as greet care as if they were providing
for their own home. Flowering shrubs
will set out Wherever good taste calls
for them and will be nurtured by the
municipal gardener.
Public Rath aud Laundry.
Housewives may take their washing
to a public laundry. Those not pro-
vided with tubs in their homes will
have a public bath provided for them.
The company wtil clean and light the
streets and remove the garbage, give
free use of unlimited water, sell ev-
erythin* from a shoestring to a par-
lor set at a fraction more than cost,
and. flnelly, conduct a club bar across
which everything in the line of drinks
anywhere obtainable will be sold.
Convinced of the certainty that many
of their employes will go elsewhere or
drinks if they cannot be obtained in tha
model city, the Roeblings are making
the best of the situation by providing
what will do the least harm. They do
not argue that any of them will do
any good. Rut whereas the sort of
stuff which is dignified by the name
of whisky, but is in fact little more

the Roeblings from lanor troubles has
been the close ansociution between
them and their mployes. Thu thre*
sons of John A. Roebling grew up in
the bustness, and it was not so long
ago that they could call every work-
man by his first name and knew his
family history. There are even yet.
in spite of the great growth of the
business, men in the employ of tne
Roeblings whose fathers and rand-
fathers worked in the mills before
them, and whose sons are now being
trained to take their father's places.
stratght to Hendq carters.
For many years it has been the
custom of ths men to go direct to
headquartera with any grievances they
had, real or imaginary and to talk as
freely with their employers as among
themselves. Colonel Roebling retired
from active work several years axo,
but Ills brothers, Char’es and Ferdi-
nand. have maintaineu the family’s
traditional policies with the result that
the mills are as near family affairs as
seems possible with 6,500 men con-
< er ned.

company explained, after reciting the
history of the company with regard to
its pollcies, "we are not building at

in other words, the Roebling em-

which has been one of the sharpest
thorns in the flesh of the miners, who
in many instances have been paid off
in sortpt redeemable in a company’s
store in goods sold at exorbitant
prices. No scrip will be issued by the
Roeblings. Their men will be paid in
cash, and must pay what amounts to
cash for what they buy. Inasmuch a*
no attempt will be made to clear a
profit from the operation of the store,
however, and a great variety to choose
from on the 20.000 square feet nt floor
space. th* re will be no occasion for the
employes to seek elsewhere for their
supplies.

The houses will be furnished with
such conveniences as running water
and will be connected with sewers ex-
tending beneath alleys, which will
longitudinally divide each block of
houses, but otherwise the tenants will
have to provide furniehings. They will
also have te pay for the use of gas,
which is about the oniy thing that will
not be supplied by the company. It
happens that th* mains of the Public ।
Service corporation which supply Tren-
ton with gas run close to the "model
city.” They will be tapped and all
houses will be piped, but the tenants
j neas the ctosins exerrinee of
away from paternalism.
"The only requimite will be for a man
to du his work wall and behave him-
self," is the dictum of the Roeblings.
"Otherwise he will be as free as if he
wer* living In his own house on his
own land. Just as far as possible wo
shall not interfere with his absolute
freedom and nothing will be more
thoroughly impressed upon him than
this fact. We are not giving anything
away and the men will do getting only
what they pay for. They will be under
no obligation to us nor we to them, so
far as life in the city is concerned.
A Good Buninenm Propomition.
We shall charge enough in rents to
provide a fair interest on our invest-
ment in houses and their surround-
ings. While the atore, for instance,
will not be conducted for the purpose
of making a profit, there is go thought
of running it at a loss, and the same
principle holds good throughout the
project it is pure business with us.
though we would not go into it if we
did not consider it good businena, and
if the men find it as Kood business for
them we shall be satisfied.
In th* social life of th* employ**
there will lie no attempt to enter. A
baseball field his already been pro-
tided and a hall will soon be ready
where dances and entertainments may
be given, but it will rest entirely with
the employes whether they are put to
use.
"That is a phase of the problem
which will work ttself out naturally,

America'* latest “model city''— Kin-
kora, or Roeblings, on th* east bank of
the Delaware, ten miles below Trenton.
N. J.—promises not to belle its name,
• in spits of, rather than because of.
the plans and ideals under which It
is rising.
...John Roebling's sons — Colonel
; {Washington A. Rm-bling, under whose
direction the Brooklyn bridge was
built; Charles G. head of the company,
< and Ferdinand W., It* secretary and
treasurer—do not profess to be ideal-
, 1st*. On the contrary, they protest
that they ar* spending $4,000,000 and
• providing almost ideal homes for their
employes only because business forces
them to do so.
It is not to avoid labor trouble*—
they have had none of more than
trirung importance in the sixty years
•Ince the first little wire plant was
■ built in Trenton. They do not antici-
- pate better work from their men
merely because of bettered home sur-
roundings, they say, materialisttealiy
Profeasing that it is steady work at
living wages, not libraries and cod-
dling. that workmen seek
And yet, without consolous ideals
of u new Utopia inwhleh master and
man shall co-operate for mutual bet-
tterment. the Roeblings are building
• real "model city." Not only is every
possible material want of their em-
ployes being provided for, but the
nesthetie side of the proposition is be-
Mng worked out to the satisfaction of
an extreme idealist.
Park at Their Doors.
• The workmen will not only have
homes in which all creature comforts
*ar* provided for, but they will hav* a
i carefully laid out park at their doors.
.The street* will be macadamised, but
instead of being only forty or fifty feet
■ wide, they will have a width of 100
feet, with a parkway running through
the center and bordered with shade
trees. The houses are set fifteen fee
back from the street and the lawns
in front will be cared for by the com-
pany, besides having th* best of
plumbing. Water will be free and it
iiwill be filtered by the most improved
process. A single man can live for
41.50 a week in on* of the company's
khotels, with a room eight by twelve,
plRhted by electricity and heated by
Psteam. A man with a family need
Ipay not more than from $8 to $14 a
Fmonth for a separate house for which
dhe would have to pay twice that rent
in Trenton.
p Colonel Washington A. Roebling is
[frankly skeptical as to the results
•which will be attained and Charles G.
Roebling, under whose direction the
iprojeet was planned and is being car-
[ried to completion, regard* it as a
purely business proposition.
. "We are doing only what we ar*
driven to do by force of circumstances."
they any. They do not expect any sub-
Fatantial returns in the form of im-
provements in tile, quality or quantity
of their product. Anything of that
sort is merely incidental to the build-
ing of new mills in a location con-
venient to the main plant in Trenton.
Except at prohibitive prices no
more land could be bought in Trenton
adjoining the mills. The volume of
business necessitated expansion, and
after looking the ground over a Mite
a mile below Kinkora, on the Delaware
proved to be the one most satisfactory.
The erection of rolling mills there was.
however, the least of the problems
which confronted the Roebling*.
Kinkora itself is but little more than
• hamlet, without facilities to house
•nd otherwise provide for a small
army of workmen, and even such as it
is, it is a mile distant from the she
of the new city. The time and ex-
pense involved in compelling the em-
ployes to travel between Trenton and
the new mills below Kinkora put that
out of the question as a place for the
men to Hire in. Something radically
different had to be done, and it is
, as a solution of this purely business
problem that the new city was
evolved.
"Having determined upon Kinkora
•* ti e site for the expansion of our
mills. We were forced th build houses
for thempymTve in who will be
cemalapte Ere," is the simple explana-
M6en of the Roeblings. "Inasmuch a»
we had to build houses anyway, we
• Are building as well as w know how.
d- And incidentally are providing some
MT other things for the benefit of our em-
ployes. The rental* will pay Interest
% on the investment. We do not ask or
expect any other returns and we cer-
tainly are not posing as idealist* or
#5 reformers.”
In a long talk the other day, Charles
G. Roebling did not give utterance to
a single expression of hope that hl*
employe* would be uplifted by their
surroundings, but deliberately, dis.
passionately, hr ha* planned so well
that it is doubtful whether an ad-
vanced idealist would add greatly to
what is already finished or in course
