killed on me now said the woman. A. she could get
no redress except through the Burgess. who is friend
y to the strikers she left the tent much cast down"
The Burgess Is tho Worlds peaceful and
legal friend and presumably its present
| chief editorial writer. tho same who says
that BERKMAN served Mr.. FR1CK right.
Another instance Of the application OF the
| PULITZER doctrine of striker sovereignty is
found In the fact that tho advocates OF
peaceable and legal methods ct Homestead
have warned the engineers on certain rail-
roads that their lives will pay tho forfeit
should they switch single car in the inter-
est OF the Carnegie Company" On Satur-
day the Homestead strikers predicted that
ION Monday morning great disturbance
would be seem" Further evidence of tho
pcaceable and legal spirit Of the striker
sovereigns is Afforded in this despatch to
the Tribune. describing the ioyousncss with
which the effort of Mr. PUhITzER's pupil
was received by Mr.. PUDrTzER's disciples:
- brawny steel worker could not restrain his feel
ings but dropped his knees on the sidewalk with
clasped hands and uplfed eyesto thank Con Friends
| quickly hustled him away. while tho leaders who
| were approached by newspaper men, protested to ha
shocked at tho reports OF the shooting tho rank and
| Ge wero less diplomatic. ana expressions such as
| served him right what else could ho expectr
aud That's the stuH with muttered exscrations were
frequently heard"
"All is quiet at Duquesne." says a Pitts
burgh despatch TO the Herald. lone rea-
son for this is that tho strikers have
learned that there Is regiment un
der arms at Camp Colonel Sam Black,
ready to march on DuQucsne at mo-
ment s notice. About ten employees insisted
on going to work tonight. They ,rcrc
permitted to enter the mill. as the strikers
think such small number can accomplish
nothing tOrard running the mill" II tho
DuQucsne employees who insisted upon
their right to work without asking permits
sion from the striker sovcreigns had num-
bered ono hundred instead of ten. undoubt-
edly the sovcreigns would have tried their
familiar penceahle and legal methods. They
would have dubbed and sluSged and
kicked and killed. They would have re-
sorted to tho same gontle persuasivcs that
they used upon tho astonishcd P1NKERToN
watchmen. For the wild fury discharged
against these men was not meant for them:
1t was simply the peaceable and legal pro-
test Of tho iamblike anarchists OF Home
stead against tho right OF their employers
to employ anybody but themselves. against
the right of non-union men to earn living.
OF course the attempt to assassnatc Mr..
FRIcK was not inspired By the striker sover-
eigns. although it Is applauded by some Of
them. and II regretted by any OF them. re-
GREETED solely for selfish reasons by
such as have intelligence or imagination
enough to understand its effect upon
public opinion. But the spirit OF BERK-
MAN and the spirit Of Homestead are es-
scntally the same. 1t is no worse and no
better in any tribunal OF law or morals to
murder an employer than to murder one Of
his employees. Every blow aimed every
threat used by the striker sovereigns
against non-unon men is blow and threat
against freedom and civil order. The
cause Of O'DoNNELL. Of the World, of BERK-
MAN. and of the Freihei is the same. It is
anarchy. it is violence. it is murder. and
the shooting OF Mr.. FRIcK is technically
less crime than the strikers per-
petrated when they killed Mr.. tricks
watchmen. BERKMAN has attempted
murder. The Homestead pupils Of the
World have actually murdered. and their
attitude and their actions show that they
are only restrained from murder now by
the guns and bayonets Of the Pennsylvania
troops; and no matter how many nom
union men they main or murder. they
will be upheld as exemplars Of peaceable
and legal methods by that missionary of
anarchy, Mr.. PULITzER's World. The sane
and decent people Of this country. how
ever. are not yet ready to admit that the
power OF life and death has passed from
courts and juries to strikers. or that law
has been superseded by tho edicts Of
renegade Hun.
