THE TELEGRAPH STRIKE.

1t is not surprising that so many staid
and sober citizens who usually condemn
"strikes, should sympathize with and
encourage the photographers in their con-
test with the Western Union, when it is
remembered what Il niggardly policy
that monopoly has pursued in dealing
with its employees. The single fact that
this corporation, which started with
capital of less than half million of dol
lars and has watercd' it's stock up to
eighty millions OH which it is actually
paying dividends, and which starves its
employees upon salaries of forty dollars 4
month, many of whom are married men
with families dependant upon them for
support, is enough to explain why the
popular sympathy is 50 generally with
the strikers. 1t is all very nice for we'll
fed and prosperous people to denounce
these lily paid operators, for paralizing
the facilities for business communication,
as a means of cOercing powerful corpo-
ration into an advance of wages. 1t is
very true that the public cannot afford to
have its business at the mercy of an ac-
cidental contest over wages, and hours
of labor, between this monopoly and its
employees, yet above all things the Amer
lean people like fair play, and when any
body Of operatives rebel against a soul
less corporation, which declares big divi-
dends, stolen from the labor of half paid
operatives, the American sympathy is
bound to display itself on the side of the
oppressed. 1t is true, as leading daily
newspaper pertinently remarks, ''that a
general strike of telegraph operators or
of rail road workers ought to be a legal
impossibilty' But it is 10 less true that
a grinding policy of oppression towards
its employees, ought to be in this country
no less legal impossibility. The demand
for protective legislation in this country,
against the ungodly greed of big monop-
olies, is in every sense as imperative, as
the demand for legal redress against
those who disturb the peace of the COM
munity, by melting strikes among the
laboring classes.
