threatened with another attack of
the strikes. Indeed. the city press
aEnounces some well marked cases,
besides premonitory symptoms 10
other instances.
When the strike oftIle Carpenters
Unlon in early summer closed so
disastrously, mot tosay humiliatingIy,
it was hoped by all real friends Of
the mechanics and laborers, that
the acclimation through which most
Of them had passed, would be guar
antee against return OF the disease.
This hope, however, it would seem
Is not to be realized, and unless
some active remedy-tbe most eff
fective of which would be, in equal
parts, common sense and Justice
be at once applied, that city
m yet have an epidemic az dis
astrous Ia its effect ou it's business
interest, and especially on its i'm
mediate victims as would he the
yellow fever or cholera.
Every which has occurred
lin New Orleans has caused harm
and produced no benefit. AS the
HERALD has often shown, bad con
lseq tnces can only dow FROM them.
| The germ Of this disease, owing
to its very organism, il injurious
and especially to those ~who fool
Iishly allow themselves to be inocu-
Hat with it.
When freight-handlers i ., OF
the Railroad Companies Increase oi
wages beyond what those y ON
EPanicswill, the circumstances
Epay, aud make their compliance a
condition of continuance in their
employment, though they exercise
only q clearly legal righr, yet unless
they know where else to obtain
employment, they simply act fool
ishly, and are risking only an
humiliating back down from their
demand.
When the members Of the
u.s.
dores and Longshoremen's Benevo
lent Association use tleiric = ned
Influence to preventother Steyedores
Eand L0ngshOremen from the eaioN
ment Of their right to iiboi, tli.Y
not only exhibit 4 want Of ciari /,
bat the worse feature ofmonopoli Is
IN tyrannizng over honest labor.
Still, like the the alleged nonopo
lis General Butler is so
severely censuling, hoping thereby
to winEOr him 'e,f yoles, Of the labor,
ing classes, this association has the
legal right to refuse to associate
with others in labor on ships nd
barges.
In this, however, they are not only
unchari ! !, but assume the risk OF
the exercise OF like right Of the
ship aud barge owner, to spurn their
demand.
When, however this Benevolent
Association demaa 5, as their right,
the work OF loading and unloading
the vessels of the New York, Crom
we'll and Morgan Steamship .ee,, it
steps beyond its legal province, anu
makes demand in conflict with law
and justice.
Such however is the official ,le.
mand nowmade. Such like demands
can meet with no sympathy from
the public, especially from those
who have Ut heart the welfare OF
the laboripg classes. for they strike
not with less but with greater sever
lily upon the rights Of labor Than Of
capital. AS in all previous ia
stances the present strikes viii be
Gully Injurious, aud Of short life.
