THE GREAT STRIKE.-The great strike among the
iron workmen of Pittsbnrg has been taken up by
trades Unions in the Northern half of the United
States to maintain the present rates or secure
better. There was reason to expect that violent
outbreaks would be more likely to begin at
Chicago than at Pittsburg. The terrible exper-
iencesof 1877 has not been forgotten by any class
of citizens at Pittsburg, and the workingmen, who
were great sufferers at that time in consequence
of the lawless acts of Others may naturally have
learned to regard violence with less favor. The
outbreak at Chicago is a complete illustration
of the general tendency of Trades-Cnionism.
The men baud together to coerce employers, and
regard as their enemies other workmen who re-
fuse to bind themselves to act with them.
Not only is each calling organized but different
csllings are leagued together more or less gener
ally to carry out the common purpose. The
period of business depression following the panic
of 1878 broke up most of the old trade unions and
it is only in the last two years that they have
vived and grown 20 greater proportions than ever
before known. Manufacturing has paid, business
has been brisk in all departments of industry and
wages have been good. But there is a lull in
home markets now and by reason ofthe enhance
ment of price, due to the tariff their wares sell
too high to find a market abroad, The excess
tends TO check production and lower the price
that manufacturers are willing to pay for labor

THE New York Tribune notes the fact in the
tyrrany of the Trades Unions, that the fatuity of
barring out their own sons from the trades, is
opening a door which foreigners are rushing into
and literally taking the bread from their mouths.
few weeks will prove to the great body of handi-
craftsmen in this country whether the policy of
the trades unions is wise or not. Nearly. one
hundred thousand men have voluntarily stopped
work. which number represents probably half
million of women and children dependent on the
unions for support. They, poor creatures, can
testify to the amount of drunkenness, crime and
misery which grows out of strike, whether it is
successful or not. Another point worthy of con
sideration by the workingmen whom the unions
have ordered to strike is that while Labor may
successfully organize against Capital, it can do
nothing against unorganized Labor. Foreign
workmen, skilled and unskiiled. are pouring into
the country at the rate of thousands every week,
while the tyrrany of the trades unions prohibit
the employers to take but limited part of our
boys to learn trades.
