Another STRIKE.

Another Strike.
For The Enquirer.
Public opinion generally decides cor
rectly on the merits of q labor strike. Only
let the facts be known and the poor and op-
pressed toilers are sure to have public SYM
pathy, and even substantial aid. I wish to
present the facts regarding the latest strike.
This time 1t is the Cook county judges.
They have struck against six hours work q
day. The crisis is past, and they now toll
from II a. m. to II M, and from to p. m. ).
total, fve hours. The intense industrial and
financial commotion will now subside. One
peculiar feature is seen in the case of these
oppressed judges, viz: they are their own
oppressors. No "boss'' opposed them;
hence the speedy and bloodless adjustment
Of the difficulty. They had only to hold
meeting and by vote decide that six hours
per day Of, wear and tear Of brain 6bres can
not be longer endured. Theirs Is not physi-
cal labor, neither can itSecarcely be called
mental labor, for the only faculty called into
action by their duties is memory with some
slight help from attention. Reason, justice,
reform and religion must not be exercised in
hearing case, for to do so would be crime.
They must do nothing but remember what
eSedgewick wrote or decided about case
somewhat similar to the one they are trying
and decide accordingly.
The laws relating to the hours Of labor in
Illinois should be changed. Eight hours on
any kind Of public work is days work.
This fact in view we may form some idea Of
what a terrible tax on the judges six hours
must have been to compel them, however re-
luctantly, to reduce the time to 1--WE hours.
Compare the wan, sickly look on the wan
face Of one Of these judges, after FIVE hour.
toll with his memory, with the rosy checked
careless countenance of man who has face
tiously shoYeled earth for ten hours on an
other kind Of public. work and You will &c,
more political economy than you win by the
orizing. That the latter public servant ha.
the more pleasant time is proven by the sal
airy each receives. The trench digger get,
$500 per year and judge gets IS, 900. The de
struction OF nerve force is, of course, proper
tionate to these figures.
These Judges have an item to their adyan
[tage in case Of q strike; they need fear nj
competition as there are no more judges thai
positions. If the ditchers strike their sue
cessors will at once be unanimously elected
BY the boss. The field, also the woods, Is full
of candidates. 4
/ The judges have for boss the good-naturet
and careless people who let them do about a
they please. A delay OF an hour may cans
\ days delay in case and much expense TO
the contestants, but who would be SO heart
less as to complain Of that when labor ha
made such a decisive victory over its oppres
sors as 'twere not exactly either, for tn
conflict seems to be between little work an
an inclination to do no work. However, "
4 win hope labor can find something in th
matter to rejoice over. ZxNo.
