seem to fancy that they can refuse to
be employed, and yet retain a right to
play dog on the manager, and require
that no one else shall be employed in
their stead. Nothing can be more
unreasonable or more unjust to all
unemployed labOrers. Strikers who
assert this thing are simply putting
their hands on what does not belong
TO them. These same men would not
stoop to claim as their own another
mans watch or tools. But after for
saking place and refusing to fill it
they assert that another free working
man who offers to fill it has no right
to do so. That is wrongfully claiming
part of his property. Yet this mis-
taken notion is at the bottom of most
of the acts of violence with which
strikers are disgraced, aud of most of
the difficulties in adjusting strikes.
The rule of common sense suffices
for this case. He who refuses to fill a
place knows that an employer has
from that instant a right to fill it if he
can, and that the employers first duty
will then be to stand by those who
come forward to do the work. This
is the radical error of the strike as
mode of adjusting labor difficulties.
The men abandon PAGES and stop
work, instead of submitting their
claims to arbitration, and continuing
to fill their places and do their duty
meanwhile. As long as men choose
to strike instead of arbltrating, they
make it the first duty of employers to
protect and defend the wOrkingmen
who are willing to fill the places va
