SYMPATHY WITH IHEs sTRIKERs

That the workmen who have lett the

road have the sympathy OF the peop.e
along the line from Wheeling TO Baiti-
more. We have ample evidence. But
what :can they do? The company has
decided TO reduce the wages. and th're
sre thousands OF others ready and willing
10 ill the vacant places. Why should
they not nave chance to do so? The
strikers have right TO abandon their
work if they think the pay insufficient
but they have no right to throw
any obstacle r the way OF the accept
snce by others of the work they decline.
The sympsthies OF the pub lc are natu-
rally and rightfully with those it believes
70 DO oppressed. But that sympathy
should be confined within lawful limits
sad we believe in this strike on tue b.
i o railroad both the strikers and their
sympsthisers have manly acted with
marked moderation. A few ringleaders
only have committed acts of violence
snd tried to inclte others thereto.
