THE STi.lk y.

The railroad company and the strikers
have both acted with discretion since the
issue between them WAS joined last Mon
day and we do not hear Of any reliable
evidence a. ID the crazy threats There
never has been a strike in which an ISSUE
promised to have more sensible trial
between the parties at variance.
Remembering the sense and character
of Chief Arthur and hi, bold stand on
so many occasions, when only courage
and patriotism could have prevented
trouble. it is to be hoped that his calm
and cool declarations will carry its proper
weight with his followers
The question will be triei on the right
Of the men simply TO stop work II they
90 beyond that they will lose this great
point in the trial which is the knowledge
of the public that the position of a
locomotive engineer is an extremely i'm.
pOrtant one, mourning responsibility
hardship, and requiring nerve and skill
We have heard 50 many accidents ac-
counted for by the incapaciiy Of switch
men and such hands overfatigued by long
hours of duty, tha, it is time 10 hear
from the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
Company an answer to- the accusation
made tina; they were unjust to their en-
ployes.
The TIMES has recently criticised the
Reading strike as wrong, because ii
started with violation Of principle
But when such strike a, the present
one is started with an ayowal that the
strikers will respect all the rights Of
Others. including those OF the newly en-
ploved engineers and iremen who fiji
their plac. $, the incident brings Us face
to fac, with the grayest peril that ;he
two opposing forces Of capital and labor
haze yet caused
Il the Brotherhood Of Engineers should
succeed in bringing TO their all "a aum-
Der OF other organizations they might
not accomplish complete result this
time, bat they would in case Of fai ure
merely have been incitel to organize
such a strike as would paraiyze the bu.i-
ness of the country. We believe tia, it
depends on fair idea of waves whether
such a thing could be done. and j: 'Ae
railway companies are just it never coa.d
be done, because public opinion and Jaw
would back them
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1888-03-04
