THE OLD, OLD STORY.

1
of the Amalqamated Association and
iron manufacturers this AFTERNOON was
short and decisive The workers repre-
sen,a,iyes stated that The lodges had
voted upon the question OF reduction
and had decided almost unanimously 10
reject 1t. The manufacturers then stated,
in language just rs positive, That thel
would not pay present wages There
WAS bnt little discussion, AMI the con
ference adjourned after being in session
only twenty five minutes"
Thus saws a recent Pi,ishurg telegram

safely assume that even now vast muI' e

and children are thrown on, OF WORK, ana
will 20 remain until starvation or absolute
necessity shall compel them to surrcnicl
and accept any terms their monopoiis'
masters may see NJ TO impose.
This ia the same old story so often tod
in this country, 10 often forgotten, ard
no doubt, so often yet 10 be repeated. y
has long since been the regular custom o.
the monopolsts to force their employee
to strike whenever, IA the natural conso-
Quencc Of artificial protection, oyerPro'
duction has glutled the home
market. since in this way they
not only bring about a ces
sation Of production which enables then
TO work off their surplus stock at proiita-
bic prices, but at the same time they a'
saved wages and other expenses Then BY
the time their surplus has been success
fully gotten rid Of, the striking employee
have generally been starved into submis
sion. and are only too glad To go back 10
work, if al wages no better than thost
received by "the panper labor OF Eu-
rope"
This year, however, the monopoIIs S
are acting much more recklesSly tan
usual. As rule, they are very careful
Of maltreating their employees on impor-
tant election years, As Otherwise they
could not hope 10 successfully deceive
the workingmen into voting for high
tariff on tie ground that their WAGES are
protected by protection They have,
therefore. heretofore cOn!cntcd them
selves with forcing strikes either on
"oif years" or after the elections have
been decided. But now they are beard
ing the lion in his den, and either because
they have become wealthy enough 10 tie
Indifferent 10 the result, or because
they think they can easily cOncilialc their
dupes whenever inclined, they have
forced the annual strikes right In The
face Of presidential campaign In which
protection for the benefit OF monopoly j.
the battle cry on one side and "a tariff
for the benefit Of the people is he motto
Of the other.
The monopolists have evidently blum
dered. They imlgine thm they can chi

protection is a blessing 10 them But
