DON'T 60 TOO FAR!

N, Y. Sun: We counsel moderation.
When it is a question of fair wages for
fair days work, the sympathies of every
reasonable man should incline to the side
of the labor organizations. 1t is best for
all the interests of the country that labor
should be equitably compensated. With>
out just and proper requital of labor,
there can be no enduring stability of bus
mess or general prosperity.
But there is danger that success may
turn the heads of the Knights of Labor
and of the organizations they influence.
While we uphold and stand by their fun
damental purpose, we deprecate the ex>
cesses into which they may be led, and
we warn them against the injustice into
which they may be betrayed. 1t can not
be allowed in this country, that man
who employs labor shall not himself se>
lcct it and control it, free from dictation
as to the individual persons whom he
shall employ. Such rule would be in
tolerable in its operation and eff
feet, aud, while it might benefit
few, 1t would afford to the
many Il license and occasion of abuse
that would be fatal to all business dis
cipline. Nor can it be allowed that an
industrial organization of a protective
character shall usurp the great powers of
government, and levy war on all business
under the pretext of attending to its
own.
Therefore, we say the leaders of labor
should beware lest they 90 too far and
defeat their own purposes Let them reg
ulate wages and hours and resist all OPP
preston. but the leaders even of the
most sacred of causes cannot be allowed
To proceed to the extremes of tyranny
and cXtorlion.
We want to see every man who work,
for his living have his fair share of the
profits of his labor, and we deplore any
action on the part of the labor organiza'
lions tending to defeat that end. Re
venges and reprisals upon capital are SURE
in the end 10 be quite as injurious and as
Lurtful TO the community as its worst anC
most systematic exactions and oppression
have ever been.
In this country law and order and lib
erty must be maintained at every cost.
