THE GALVESTON STRIKE.
The strike 10 Galveston of the
knights of Labor ssoms to promise q
good deal of trouble. In this fight
there seems to be truly two sides to the
question. Sawyer weskened his po-
sition by giving the negroes the
price for which the white longshore-
men struck. That was wrong, or if
not actually wrong, it was, to say the
least Of IL, impoiitic. Fifty cents an
hour, Or even 40 cents, seems TO us q
nne recompense for labor. Taking 10
hours as a basis, 40 cents would repre-
sent 81 a day, or $2i a week; 80 cents
would DO So q day aud $50 week.

fecompense for fair labor, and can soc
no use for any kind OF combination.
Inc present Rtrike will be watched
with interest, and should general
suspension OF labor occur much dis
