1t was to be expected that the leaders OF the
railroad strike at Pittsburg, when they recover
ed from their Saturday nights and Sunday s
derum, would feel some shame and ompunc-
ton at the wholesale robbery, arson and MUIR
der which had been committed under the pre-
text OF sympathy with their ca use. Weare not
surprised. therefore, to find the Pittsburg DIS
patches OF vest day stating that the strikers
disclaimed any sympathy or utilization with the
mob who on Sunday broke open, piliaged and
burned freight cars and freight depots. There
is doubtless an Element Of truth IN this denial
The Associated Press dispatches have borne
witness to the fact that comparatively few OF
the strikers proper took part in the disgraceful
scenes OF robbery and arson. We may Justly
acquit at least a portion Of them Of an partici-
patton or sympathy with these scenes.
Nevertheless the men who managed this
strike--who organized resistance TO law. and
interference with the property nd legal rights
OF the railroad companies-must be held res
ponsible for the crime and disorder that fol-
lowed, even though they did not themselves
take part in it. The logica consequence to the
defiance OF law, and the resistance to the con-
stituted auth critics, upon 4 particular questions
is the contempt of all law, the breaking down
OF all barriers, the temper airy triumph of the
worst elements OF humanity. The criminal
classes are always ready to take the utmost
advantage of all such disorders-and their oc-
curence usually, as in this case, reveals an
Unexpectedly large number OF such criminal
and dangerous persons. All the arson, all the
murder all the pihagiDg. all the lawlessness,
all the disorder which has disgraced Plttsburg,
is thus the natural and almost inevitable result
OF the lawessness OF the strikers themselves,
defying the civil and mIlit airy authorities, and
interfering with the property and rights Of the
railroad companies. They have sowed the wind,
and they have reaped the whirlwind.- Detroit
