BY ANDREW ROY.

Workingmen have the right, either in
dividually or in mass, to demand higher
wages and to refuse TO work il the demand
is not complied with. So have they the
right to refuse to accept . reduction Of
wages They have, also, the right TO call
meetings and discuss the question Of m
advance or q reduction of wages, and to
engage in strike if they deem such action
necessary. On the other hand the en-
ployers have q right to engage new york
men on any conditions they may choose 70
make, and the strikers have no right to
interfere in the matter. These rights
workmen and employers alike, acknowl-
edge in their cooler moments, but during
the excitement resulting from strike, any
attempt to put in new laborers to fill the
places of the strikers, invariably leads to
rioting and lawlessness, and this is true,
not Of miners alone, but OF every other
class Of laborers 1t matters not whether
workingmen be ignorant or intelligent,
nor what occupation they follow, they will
not during strike stand peaceably by and
see their places taken by strangers, and
this is true, not of workmsn of the United
States alone, but in every other country
where laborers have the right to combine
and strike under the law, the same condi-
ton of things are found. Men Of the
same craft cannot be hired, as q very gen.
eral rule, to take the places Of their fel
lows on a strike, no matter what induce
ments are offered in the form Of wages
nor what protection may be guaranteed
from the fury Of the strikers. Every trade
has adopted opprobious epithets to dis
grace laborers who work in time Of strike
The printers call them rats !" ship
builders and others call them "scabs" but
by the majority of trades they are called
"blscklegs." Until the year 1924 work
ingmen were forbidden by Law to combine
and strike. In that year the coalition act
of 1900 was repealed, and since that time a
perpetual war has ragged between capital
and labor. Scarcely q single year has
passed that has not witnessed some great
strike, in which thousands of men have
been engaged, resulting from wages dis
putes with their employers. In coun-
try 50 densely populated, and SO full OF
soldiers and police lawlessness has attended
nearly every effort to supplant the labor
ers on strike with new men. During the
miners strike Of the Stafordshire oolliers
in 1864, when many of the strikers, ex-
perienced miners, and not strangers, hav-
ing become convinced that the day was
lost, returned to work, they were met by
the wilder spirits Of the district, de-
nounced as blacklegs, and in some cases,
rough hand grenades were thrown into the
houses of the men who had resumed work
at the reduction. Police men had to in
terfere at the Monday meetings to prevent
an outbreak, and before the combination
broke down, two troop of lancers headed
by the Lord Lieutenant of the county,
were called out to assist the local officers
of the law in preserving the peace.

sent for by their friends. The Sydney
Morning Herald, mentioning this, says
"Our public and private works are nearly
at standstill for want Of labor, and it has
been stated upon undeniable authority
that 10, 600 men could find ready employ
ment on our railways alone. There
is work for all, and workmen are

Wales than they can obtain in Eng
land. Navviea are particularly in
request, and so much so are they that the
government have had to extend the con
tract time for some Of our railway con-
tractors. The government purpose spend
ing something like $4,000, 900 in con
structing public works-public works that
they would commence Immediately if they
could get the men to construct them" In

DoYLEsrowN, WAYNE Co., May 6.
To the Editor Of the woRKNsHASs Advocate.
The strike IN the Tuscarawas Valley has
assumed peculiar character. Fear, more
or less, appears to have captivsted the
minds Of the men. Men are prying into
the character Of this Secret Society that is
now organizing itself in this valley, won
dering what power as rival to the Nation
al it will assume. | knOw-and 50 does
all good thinking men know-that the
National Miners association is strictly in
accordance with the spirit Of the age, or
times, and If men would be governed by
its constitution and bylaws, our-the
miners condition would be all that we
could desire it to be. An association that
respects the liberty and interests of all
persons, must recommend itself TO the
leading minds, and will eventually be
recognized by ali.
As general thing where a man suffers
a great loss, whether from habits Of indif-
ference, prejudice, OF any cause whatever,
he then resolves in his own mind that in
the future he will prevent such things oc-
curing again, by removing the cause
Several persons Of good reputation have
said to me since the present troubles be
gan, that as soon as they we're at an end
we will organize ourselves under the NJ
N. A., that We ought to have done so be-
fore this time. Now, these men last win
tsr, after expressing a desire to Join the
NJ n A., refused 10 do 90 when the OPP
portunity afforded itself but hope they
are in earnest this time. There does not
appear any signs Of a settlement with us
at present. II is rumored, because some
men Of Silver Greek continued work
having received no reduction that their
names have been published for blaekleg
