The strike of coal porters which began on Tues.
day was a strike in support of the claim of trades
unions Of worImcn to manage the business Of both
workmen and employers Meesrs. Cameron had a
foreman who belonged to no union He had been
in their employ four years There com
plant against him by the men. No objection had
been made TO him ny the unoniss till this week
Then without notice warning the men stopped
work. As they refused 10 work. they were dis.
charged, and others were engaged. Men who be-
cause they do not submit TO the tyranny OF the
union are amiably called blacklegs The unionst
officials demanded that the old portcrs Should be
replaced This being refused, they ordered out all the
coal porerS in London. That puts the iSs;e clearly
as put il above. Are employers 10 manage their own
business or are tie presidents and secretaries Of
trades unions TO manage il for them The
men who struck at Messrs Camcrons yard had
no grievance except .he prcscnce of "a foreman
who not a Dnonisr There is question
Of hours or wages-no question at ALL in fact, en-
ccpt the one above-statcd and except the cStiOn
whether che unionst officials were treated with
proper respect by the employers whom they were
trying 10 coerce Perhaps that, after all, was
the main question. Public sympathy was divided.
Neither tyrannous trades unionsm nor the coal
merchants popular. The unions cause from
time TO time great Inconvenience. The coal mcr-
chants thought TO have an imperfect copy of
he Commandments, and their own arithmetic
is constructed on principles unknown TO Cocker
But last night the 5000 men who had been
ordered into deness TO save the dignity Of a union
| secretary were told that they might 90 70 work
| again. The strike is understood TO be over. IL
was found that the employers were able, or soon
| would he able, 70 set free aborcrs. Coalheaving
| is not fine art, trade which requires long
apprenticeship The police prevented that violence
on which the success of such strike depended.
The employers have made concession. They
will take back such men as they have room for,
| but will not discharge those whom they have en-
Gagged in the interval Mrssrs Cameron and their
men are 10 fight ont their quarrel by themselves
The Coal Porters Union is said to he the best
organized union in London. The men ohcyci
their officers as if they had been soldiers. They
have gained loss of thre, days wages, and per
hsps, a little wisdom.
