PRINTERS UNION LOSING STRENGTH THROUGH
TYRANNY.
The Dallas HERALD of the 18th inst.
comes to us somewhat reduced in size, but
spretty good paper nevertheless. The re-.
duction is temporary and caused by a
strike of the printers. Everything was 60
ingaong nicely in the HERALD office the
printers were getting wages perfectly salts
factory to them and prompt payment, hut
il was decided to organize a union. The
foreman Of the HERALD composing room is
an efficient printer, gives full satisfaction
in the discharge OF his duties and enjoys
the confidence of his employers He did
not see the necessity OF Il union where all
was going on so well, and declined TO Join
in the organization. But the union
was organized on Thursday, the 10th,
and on the day following a strike was
ordered because the HERALD publishers re-
fused TO discharge their foreman. Conse-
anence--severaI men have struck them
selves out OF employment, with strong
probability that they will remain out as far
as the HERALD is concerned. We believe
LABOR organizations are good for the mem
bers and in no ways detrimental, if they
are not even beneficial, to the employing
class where they are conducted with fair
ness and sound judgment. We believe all
classes of laborers should secure the bene-
tit of the interchange of opinions respecting
the common veal and the strength that
union gives in securing redress Of
grievances, but when they are made
machines to tyrannize over others
and attempt to regulate the conduct of
those who have no voice or strength with
them when they deny to others the right
and privilege OF earning their daily bread
because they entertain different opinions,
or refuse to bow TO their dictation, tn y lose
all title to respect, or sympathy, or encour-
agement. Printers certainly are fully justi-
ned in organizing to give their rightsall the
protection organization will secure, but to
say to the proprietors who they shall or
shall not EN- ploy, or who snail or shall not
nave chance to earn their bread bv labor
at an occupation the Union does not furnish
is not right and every time an attempt
to exercise such tyranny is made, the union

rEEMlNG WITH CoMMUNISTIC IDEAS.
The Examiner has noticed, with interest,
Tue peculiar phases Of contest that has
been waged In Dallas TINS week, between
tle HERALD newspaper and the printers
union OF that city, Money, the usual
bone oil Contention was not the trouble
III TINS case. The printers are satisfied with
tpe price the HERALD pays them for their
laoor, but they demand that the paper
snail not employ any but union printers.

are doing the HERALp's work. The
