In his own line the sheriff of county

house of representatives, but there is
such a thing as the assumption of too

upon himself to demand of Gallagher:

possessing the qualifications of gentle

great weight. IL is reassuring to learn
from so competent a critic that in

zens, by the strength of his own intelli-

OF the strikers will have 10 DO gotten rid

and the town will be overrun with a
host OF idle workmen until they can se-
cure employment elsewhere. In the
meantime scores OF small contractors
from among tho strikers viii tako con-
tracts, employ union labor and crowd
outth old men, who, by tho time n act.
Element Of tho present differences Is
reached, will find formidable competitors
occupying tho lelt which they might
have continued to control. .ag/
There Is doubtless much truth In tho
assertion by a contractor after the con.
ference OF Saturday that ono cool head
would have Settled the strike In five
minutes. Tho points Of difference were
80 slight that II seems to onlookers b
concession from both sides might have
been made; that tho contendins parties
might have met half way, at least, on
tho disputed proposition.
That this was not done, islargely due
to tho fact that the strikers committee
were not empowered to make concessions
and It Is unfortunate Tor allpar!ics that
they wcronot. Had they been given carte
blanche to uso their beat judgment set
Element might have been arrived at, not
withstanding the feeling that existed.
It Is admitted that tho Exchange and
Unions know their own business best
and arc not asking for advice from out
siders, but 1t must be also admitted that
tho public is greatly interested in the
dispute. The public wants the building
operations and other improvements
which have been interrupted to 20 on,
and II the gentlemen who are involved
find themselves unable to agree the
business men OF the city will feel very
much like encouraging the small con.
tractors who are being rapidly produced
by the strike.
With kindly feeling for both sides

adjustment, as well as with regard fol
tho prosperity OF the city, the 1NTELLl
oRNcER urges tho warning factions te
come together with cool heads and see

complications which it now seems Ger
tain will result from the action taken
