The strike Ended

The wharf laborers' strike is over. 1t
virtually ended Saturday, but those who
saw the mistake they had made did not then
dare antagonizs the leaders Of the move
ment Yesterday morning hundreds Of
laborers returned to work and many more
would have done SO could they have OBJ
tanned employment The leaders, however, ,
were unwilling to give in and fought
against the inevitable until last night, when
the president and chairman Of the labor
union officially declared the strike off.
The ili-aivised movement has made
break between tie business men and their
colored labo-eEs which it win take time to
mend. Il viii be difficult TO forget that
men who had for years been faithful to their
trusts deserted their posts az the dictates Of
those Of whose very names even they were
ignorant. Those who were true 10 the best
interests OF the community, however, will
not be forgotten.
Were it not for the strong commercial
position which Savannah has established
for itself the strike would have done much
injury TO the city's business interests Yes
terdsy business resumed its former activity,
and to-day every trace Of the recent troub-
les caused by the arrangement Of labor will
doubtless disappear.
While the MORNING News, as usual, has
kept abreast Of the news every day. its con-
servatism III handling the grave issues did
much to allay the antagonism which the
strike engendered. A single ind!screet para
graph would have infamed the minds Of
either side, aud might have brought about
collision. In the interest Of law an / or
der much that was talked abou! by the
strikers and the thousands OF wild rumors
were suppressed. The trouble is over, and
it is hoped that such state Of affairs will
never again be known in Savannah.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-10-06

The Smith substitute for the Berner bill
will come before the Senate committee this
week. The impression seems 70 prevail That
i. will no: pass that body. It's friends, how
ever, are making extraordinary efforts In
its behalf. They seem determined to get
the railroads affected by It mo the courts
Tor some reason or other
Ii is clear that the kind Of legislation pro-
posed by the Till is 10: necsss lry for the
/ protection Of the interests OF the people,
and il il certain taat the holders OF the
secur. ties OF the roads are not demanding 1t.
VINO, then, are the friends Of the bill repre-
senting.
There are features OK the bill to which
there are no serious objections. These feat
ures are found il the Cdappel substitute.
That su5stitu e is wholly satisfactory to the
people and the security holders. 1t gives
the railroad comm ssion power to regulate
the roads when by combination they could
prevent desirable competition and impose
higher transportation rates than there
would likely be if there was competition.
But then the railroad commission has abso-
Lutte control Of transportation rates. II can
fix their maximum limit When the peo-
pie are in dagger OF suffering from a CON-
bination OK railroads it can give them all
the protection they may ask for or are en-
titled to. Why. then. should the commission
be given power 70 drag railroads into the
courts for the purposs Of breaking up their
combinations
Every one knows that litigation is ex-
tremely damaging to arailroad or a railroad
system. 1t destroys confidence in its
securities. and the amount of securities held
in Georgia that would be injured by MAX
ing the Smith substitute q law is simply
enormous. And what would be accom-
phshed, that is helpful to tho people. by
the Smith substitute that could not be ac-
complished without it, Absolutely nothing
The Chsppel substitute carefully guards
the rights Of minority stockholders ID the
railroads. Without the consent OF the
commission no bonds or stocks could be
issued by any railroad company chartered
By the state if it should become law.
The watering of stocks would be impossible.
The chief argument advanced in behalf
Of the. Berner bill and the Smith substitute,
when those measures were discussed in the
House, was that legislation such as was pro-
posed In these measures was necessary to
insure healthy competition, but those who
advanced this argument failed 10 show
that such legislation would bring about
lower rates than would exist without it. In
fact they failed to advance any convincing
reason for legislation OF that kind. Their
motive seemed to be to strike a blow at the
big railroad system that has obtained con-
troll of large number Of the railroads of
the state, regardless of the question whether
such blow would benefit the people or
not.
1t cannot be predicted with any degree Of
certainty what the Senate will do with re-
gard to the Smith substitute. but the indi-
cations are that its action will be dictated
by broader and more liberal spirit than
was that of the House in dealing with the
same matter.

Rode with the Crown PrIpcs.

A pretty story Of the late Emperor Fred.
erickfs told in one OF the German papers. says
the Pail Mall Gazette. Some years ago, shortly
before the death Of the old Emperor of Ger
many, tall, handsome gentleman jumped into
third class carnage of local railway at Der
lin just as the train was leaving the station.
An old flower seller With a baskstfuI Of newly
cut hyacinths was the only other occupant OF
the compartment
He asked the old dame to sell him a bunch,
ana, molhded by his suave manner, she chose
the tresher and largest and handed il 10 him
It's price was penny. but as the gentleman had
no coppers and the old woman no change, not
having sold any Of her goods yet, she was paid
with marx piece, which, as she said at once,
was tDlng that had never been heard of before
IN third class railway carriage.
presently the stranger aud the flower seller
were deep IN conversation, and il turned out
that the poor woman was the only bread winner
of a family of four Her son was crippled her
granddaughter little school girl, and ber hu ;
oand had for some mouths been out of work
since new railroad official had dismissed him
as being too old TO do much work
The stranger then suggested that she should
Apply, on her husbands behalf TO the railroad
authorizes. That is no good whatever, = she
rePhed, as she wiped her tears with her apron
III you haven't the pope for your cousin nova
days you can't get anybody 10 listen to you. -
Inen try the emperor" the stranger went on
Alas :. she sighed, 'if the old gentleman was
allowed to see the petitions that are sent il
might do some good but he does not get to
KIN ow about us poor people"
We'll, then, let your husband write to the
crown prince" yes" she said ''he' might do
that. and she would tell him so as soon as she
had sold her flowers. BY this time the train
mad got to the terminus, the old dame bundled
out her basket and noticed with astonlshIuent
that the officials and the crowd on the platform
looked at her carriage and salnted and chserei
what's up?" she asked. why the crown
prince was IN tie same compartment with
you"
Then the flower seller held her head high and
told every syllable of what had happened to the
Delighted crow Her flowers were sold before
nve minutes were over. and fortnight after
her husband was at work again In his Old place
