A Question and Answer,

II Is asked: If the company has not work
for It's men, why not frankly say 10 and DIS
mis- them, In such II case the up crativts
might seek other employ meut, stead Of
being retained on starvation wages. Hous-
ton journal.
IL tho company has not work for its
men, and prefers to retain them at re-
duced wages, Is not the company really
to be commended instead of blamed ?
II the company has not work for its
men and dismisses them, then the men
would be forced to ind other employ
ment, or earn nothing at all. If the
company has not work for It's men,
but, actusted by consideration for
them, provides reduced wages rather
than dismiss them, what is
there to prevent the men from refus.
ing the wages offered and seeking
other employment? There Ia no M.
pulsion ATTEMPTED by the company
Men can refuse reduced wages anC
seek other employment as well as they
can seek other employment sfter be
ing dismissed. IL the real cause o
the company's action is implied in tn,
Journals question, then the compsn!
is shown to, be liberal rather thar
harsh or selfish--ior 1t presumes no

than idleness enforced by dismissa

month or two TO collect their accunu-
lated earnings, which the strikers, in
idieness and want, had not destroyed
but merely postponed.
But this is not ALL should the roads
continue obdurste and the strikers con.
tinue to prevent the trains from run
ming, the same ratio Of disaster to the
laborers and the community would be
perpttuated. Can it be that the strikers
are acting the part of blind tools to cn-
pidty and speculative designs? Six
months, or even ninety, day srf idleness
of all trains on 1.-THE system" in Texas
would probably be to it a financial boz
uauza. Within that period The carry
ing trade on those lines in Texas, will
be barely, If at all, remunerative; and,
doubtless, money would be saved suf-
ticient to pay all damages incurred on
freight contracts now existing,
while, of course, the "rioting
strikers would be assumed sufficient
to justify refusal to receive
any more freight for the IRE
bellious district" at the end
of thst period, or before, the stock and
bonds OF the entire system in Texas
would, by the bear influence, be
wrecked" to point within the easy
reach of "public spirited capitali-ts."
Is there any comfort in all this for
the striker? or course. the state au-
thorities have aremedy that ultimately
might be applied, OF which we may
have something further to say. Al
present we are looking to the outcome
for the strikers and for the commu
nifty.
