THE CONspJRTNG SHOEM4KERS.

These troublesome things called " strikes"
seem always to move in one predestinate round,
and inevitably to be marked by the same
characteristics The strikers, not content with
exercising their own unQucstionable privilege
of themselves abstaining from work, almost
always insist upon forcing Others to follow
their example. Nor are they usually content
10 coniine themselves to argument and per
suasiOn and example. Failing these, they are
too often ready to resort to intimidation ana
violence. They thus find themselves mt the
disadvantage of being outside of the law.
Upon this they raise the cry of persecution,
which decciyes only themselves, and avails
them very little in the criminal courts. In
their haste to s2ci', what they consider to he
their own rights, they are careless of the
rights of others their chances of carrying
their point are diminished; and finally the
strike comes to an end, leaving them out OF
temper, out of pocket, and too frequently out
OF character
Thirty workmen, most OF them strikers
lately employed in the shoe works of MesSrS.
Ban,ster g. Tichenor in Newark, n j., upon
the complaint of that firm, have been held to
bail on a charge of conspiracy to annoy work
factory. 1t is alleged that they assembled in
front of the place of business of the firm, and
by PROMISES, threats and money, prevented
men from going to work; and that they adj
yeItised III the New-York and Philadelphia
newspapers that there was strike III Newark,
in order to dissuadc shOcmakers from coming
10 fill the places which that strike had left
empty. If taey did this they clearly violated
n statute of New-Jerscy, and are liable to
punishment. 1t is claimed upon their behalf
t,.at they have used only moral means
to engage the non-stIikcrs to join
then; but it is also stated that at
least two men have been assaulted for
refusing to comply with the demands of the
tulD -outcrs Their case is held by their sym
pathize,s to be hard one; and it is specially
urged that an obsolete statute has been re-
vivcd expressly to thwart and punish them.
Here is q great mistake. Several States have
a law like that of New-Jerscy in its essential
characteristics and provisions; and even If
there were no such statute the common law
precisely covers such cases of conspiracy,
which it holds to be in restraint of trade and
a gross infringement of personal rights. Es-
pcSally all who aided and encouraged the
assault above alluded to, are clearly liable to
an Indictment for conspiracy. Combinations
of workmen for an increase of wages are in
themselves legal but they lead those who en-
gage in them into many acts decidedly illegal
and into many others which are at least NOR
ally dubious.
1t seems demanded by the law Of simple
consistency that those who are so sensitive
about their own rights should be delicateiy re-
spectful of the rights of others. We may not
reasonably expect them to consider the fran
chises of employers. To be an employer and
capitalist is, of course, to be tyrant and
taskmaster, whose business may be properly
hindered, whose credit may be destroyed,
whose contracts may be broken. whose invest

ciety of Friends goes still further and con-
demns all violence, even in self-defense. we
are not arguing that the Bible authorizes cap
ital punishment. but we can easily see how
conscientious man may think that it IS even
commanded. and that il is a retribution estaD-
lshed by higher law than any which usually
governs human aifairs.
Our opinion that, while it exists, the law,
like all laws, should be vigorously enforced,
has been often ensugh stated-an opinion
which has nothing to do with the abstract
question of hanging at all. IL is only by such
consistency that we can discover the real
views of the people. SO long as pardons are
literally dispensed upon grounds ab5urdly IN
sufficient, and jurors can transfer the respon-
sibility of execution to the Executive, we shall
simply drift forward and backward. and make
no progress toward That settlement OF the
problem which is most vchemently to DC de-
sired. All trinmg is equally damaging TO both
sides of the case, because it settles nothing. 1t
does worse than nothing, because it gricvously
belittles great question of life and OF death,
n mistake in the solution of which may work
gross Injustice to society and individuals,
and bring all laws into dangerous con-
faupt
