Bread or blo0di /" cry men who are getting
from 81 to ~ 80 per day In a declaration
bv strikers at PiermOnt who have been get
ting II 90 and with the proposed reduction
would get ~ % per day, it Is said, " We have
"humblcd ourselves from time To time to the
"uniust demands Of The Company, until our
"children cry for bread Nov the man whose
children cry for bread when he is elrniaS even
one dollar per day, spends money in other
ways and neglcc;s his children. Unqucs'i0n-
ably, these are hard times for railway employees,
as for men of other occupations. The man VINO
has been in the habit of spending $1,000
yearly thinks il " starvation" " if he Is reduced
to $4,000 The s;OckhO'dcr whose stocks
used to yield him $1,000 per year think, il
Starvation il he his to live on $500, while
very many OF them are now getting nothing
ard have to live as best they can without any
reliance upon the savings of lifetime OF work.
There is no end 10 the desires OF men, and
their suflerngs begin whenever accustomed
comforts can no longer be procured. Every
striking brakeman or fireman III the country
can live If he chooses, upon the wages paid
bv the railroad companies, and the only ques
tinn is how he wants to live. If he must have
many children. Said one striker at Pittsburgh,
with cigar in his mouth costing more than
two loaves of bread, "we cannot live on the
"wages offered, and may as well be shot as
"stArve.r lie misunderstood the question. The
alternative really was whether he would rather
be shot than ont any of his usual indulgences.
The argument ends when other men, wiling
and anxious to work. offer to fill the places OF
the strikers ami to accept the wages which
they refuse Whenever it happens that body
of men strikes for better wages, and nobody
competent to perform the work can be en-
gagged to take the vacant places, then there is
always just sympathy Tor the strikers. Then
the facts show .hat the wages proposed are
below the actual requirements of the market
for the work in question. The loss falls upon
the employer; he must pay the cost, because
he has made a mistake. But when
ever strikers refuse to let Others work
if they please at the terms proposed,
they put an end to all argument by
their own action. If others were not willing
to work, the strikers would not have employed
force or intimidation If others are willing to
work. the strikers have no case, and must take
their labor elsewhere If they think it more
valuable. In the end the question is whether
they can get elsewhere better wages than those
offered If not, they are wronging themselves
and their families by refusing to take the
wages proposed. and submit to the sacri-
fees of comfort, convenience or habit which
such wages involve.
The widest notions prevail among strikers
as to the actual receipts and profits of rail-

encouraged feeling of unrest and dlssatisiac-
ton with the condition and relation of employer
and employed. The same subtitle poison
has been injected into political barangues, and
although the orator rarely descends to incen-
diary appeals, the whole tenor OF political plat
forms and letters and addresses, which touched
upon this topic, have been dcxterously made to
keep alive and emphasize some distinction be-
tween "thc laborer" and society, and convey
the notion tat L" the labOrer" had some rights
which other voters did not possess and which
were in danger of invasion.
The politicians have been playing with fire.
They have been duping and mystilying the
ignorant and panderng to the evil appetites
of the vicious. They may not have created
the spirit which is now flaming out in vio-
lencc, but by all manner of tricks and impos-
ture and quackery they .haye noulished It's
growth. After these riots are queled, the
strikers may awake to realize the fact that
their interests are not distinct from, but
coipcident with those of the employers
and that all must endure together the burden
some consequences of this destructive Madness
although as in every ease, the weakest will be
the keenest sufferers. Ii is misfortune that
so little punishment will fall upon those de-
signing leaders who have been shuting and
shamming, and playing tricks with such ex-
-ploSiye material.

Company has sought to distinguish between
