THE CORE STRIKE.

Pittsburg has seemed for years to be the head
centre of labor disturbances. Scarcely had the
threatened strife between the Anna gamated
Association Of Iron and Steel Workers and the
employers been avoided by amicable arrange
ment. when strike in the coke works at Con-
nellsvile begins, which is now reported to have
embraced the workers at u, 600 out of II 600
ovens in that region. At the date Of the re-
port month ago about IL 600 were in opera
ton. and the weekly tonnage was about
los, 900. The failure of so large part of the
fuel supply for great iron producing and work
ing district would be serious setback, and ii
is to be hoped that the trouble may be adjusted
before supplies on hand have been exhausted.
Ii is pity that the coke producers have not
been more successful In maintaining amicablo
relations with their hands. A few years ago
when great strike occurred in the dead Of
winter the country was shocked by evictions
from tenements controlled by some companies
of many families in severe weather, and at that
time the impression prevailed that the eXac-
tions of a combination Of producers, and the
rapid advance in charges to consumers of coke,
went far to Justify the claims Of the workers
The combination went to pieces in consequence
Of the withd avail Of concerns controlled by the
Carnegie interest, and it is not known at this
time that similar occasion for a strike exists;
indeed the points at issue in this later dispute
have not been fully explained But the root Of
the difficulty is that workers, not by any means
of the best or most intelligent class, have in
times past been imported by companies iii order
TO secure production at a low cost, and though
at times the exacGons of the same producers
have embarrassed consumers in the iron man
ufactme, in general the competition has been so
severe as to make low cost of production in
diSpensable.
If this strike lasts there will presently be
free-trade foolishneSs about the tanif-protected
coke producers and their conduct. BuJ the
tariff has nothing whatever to do with the
strike. The cost of transportation would make
it impossible to use any foreign fuel where the
ConnelIsville coke is used, and it is the com
petition between the coke producers at Con-
nelsyille and various other interior points which
has made that fuel generally so cheap that the
interior iron manufacture has been materially
aided. On the other hand neither the Con-
nellsville nor any other coke-producing region
could have been developed as il has been if
inDortation of mig iron Mt low duties had Dre-

because Of the immense number of licenses re-

public. And largely in consequence OF de-

and to nearly every man and woman among the
number this divorce of beer and music must
have seemed almost a personal injury. They
could see no harm in either or both. 1t was not
for this that they had come from despotic
Europe to free America. The blow came from
their own party, too, and upon it fell their dis
pleasure. The law will stand, however, and
the position of the Republican party as the
friend and supporter of reasonable and prac-
ticable temperance laws will remain unchanged.
But the lesson is worth serious study, because
the support of the people measures the success
of any law, in this country.

The partial reaction against high license in
PENNSYLVANIA. and particularly in Philadelphia,

yocates Of temperance who, like THE TRIBUNE,
value practical results above any plan or the
Dry. Though called high license, after the Ohio
plan, the Pennsylvania system would be more
correctly described as regulated license, for the
amc mt was not made high enough to deter the
smallest saoonkeeper from applying for his
license, and for the diminutOn Of the number
Of saloons as we'll as the elimination of the
worst of them, the law relied upon the reguat-
ing power Of the license court. Probably no
Temperance measure was ever more thoroughly
drafted, and no licensing authority more care
fully and diScreetly organized An honest and
impartial administration Of the law was secured
BY placing the power in the hands Of the
Judges, elective, it is true, but under a system
that practically removes their Offices from the
field of partisan politics. Thus popular conf
dence was secured at the same time. TO pro-
tect the license court from the possible influence
Of an approaching election. it was made up Of
the Judges having the longest terms to serve
before becoming subject to the revenges Of dis
appointed applicants and their adherents.
Thus the system began its work with every
thing in its favor. In Philadelphia especially
the licensing court made thorough work. It
was impartial. 1t was honest The number
Ct saloons was cut down about one half. Among
the applications refused were those Of the most
persistent violators of the Sunday law and the
minor law, who had openly boosted of their
