THE strike FooLlsHNEss.

THE Strike FOOLISHNESS
The Homestead strike is thing Of
the past. What are It's lessons, and
are these teachings corroborated by
the facts and results of other strikes ?
1t is estimated that the Homestead
strikers lost in wages alone the sum
of s., 900, 900. This sum Is as utterly
lost to them as though it had been
flung into the sea. These 81 600, 900
came out of the mouths and from the
backs of those workmen and their
families. They represent just so
much lost comfort and opp1rtup!ty,
so much deprivation of what had be-
come a necessity through habit
This loss was entailed not for any
redress Of grievance on the part of
the great body of the workmen, but
ID enforce the demands of q very
small body of skil'ed workmen whose
wages were 70 be scaled in accordance
with the prices pei i'd for manufactured
steel. Not only was there this money
loss, but there was an attendant loss of
inner satisfaction incident - enforce l
idleness; loss to many of the work.
men of their pers onal liberty, being
held amensble for infractions of law
In the assault on the company; t.
others, q serious menace to life as
well az liberty, they being charged
with murder and held in very heavy
bonds to answer that charge and the
charge of treason to the state as well.
Tn ere was no corresponding gain, for
every thing imperilled in the strike
was lost and the very existence of
the labor organization that engineered
the strike he7 been destroyed, Ia so
far es, tie Homestead workmen are
concerned. Juds led by the results of
this Home rtead case the strike meth
cd OF settling difficulty has proved
abortive and destructive to the work
men as well. This article is not in
tended as a justification of the CarnC
gle company, or the strikers, but =,
show that the strike method of set
thing q labor difficulty does not pay,
this case being in evidence. The
same is t.ue of the great strike In the
New England Granite works, which
lasted so many months before 1t was
brought to o close. A writer in one
of the MassG ,husetts labor journals
says that strike cost the strikers
81, SO0,0 C0 in wages and assessments.
This amount would have bought out
the leading quarries in New England
end eft su rficient to operate them. 1t
is , do that the Granite companies
lost heavily, as also did the Carnegie,
Int the"e capitalists had no priva-
tions - endure, they lived comfort
ably in the meantime. 1t was, and
always is, the workmen that suffer,
and this being so it does seem that
the resort :, strike to settle labor
dispute is the resort of great unwis-
dom. How far any strike is the r.
suit OF general wish to strike on the
part of those interest d and how far
it is the result of the unrest of dis
satisfied agitators who are only too
ready to precipitate trouble, is ques-
ton. IN any event the t'story of
strikes does not jus,ly the resort
that meaus by reason of any success
attending it. Viewed in its practical
aspect successful strike is failure,

The bank clerk looked up little sur

but Fail to Wed.
NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.3
MCKEEsPoRT, April 26.-It now seems
to be almost certain that Ferdinand Koer-
her, the missing puddler who worked at the
w. Devices Wood Company works and
lived on the brow of Neil's hill, Mifiin
township, opposite the works, was drowned,
and it is now believed that he was muir
dered and thrown into the Monongahela
river at the foot of Walnut street. The
river has been dragged all day, but up to a
late hour the body has not been recovered
The skiff that he used to cross the river to
the works has not been found.
It now seems that when last seen he was
accompanied by two strange men, which was
about 10 o'clock Saturday night, and with
whom he had been quarreling About 10
o'clock watchman at the works, who had
been waiting for Koerher, went to where
his boat was tied and found it still there
He then took a walk around the works and
went back. Just before he reached the
point where one .descends to the river, he
heard a splash and saw two men come up
from the waters edge, pass up Walnut
street and disappear.
The watchman did not think anything
was wrong, although he found that the boat
was gone. The missing man is supposed to
have had between $50 and 5000 with him
at the time, with which he was going to pay
for part of lot, which makes his friends
believe all the more that he was murdered.
Another theory is that he may have fallen
into the water, and the swift current car
ried the boat under some barges which lay
below. A sad feature Of it is that his little
wife sits on the porch all day, watching the
men hunting for the body on the river
nearby. His boat is painted red and white,
and is inscribed ''Maud 81 on the side.

TROUBLE AMONG THE BROWNS.
GIasscock and werden Would Bo Thankful
for Their Releases.


CINCINNATI. April 26.-[SoeciaL l-There is q
feeling of unrest in the ranks of the st. Louis
Browns which was learned by the rumor
that John Glasscock would be benched and
Perry Werden released. In the hours of de-
feat life in the Browns camp is not quite as
lovely as promenades in a rose garden.
"I'm glad we are going home" said Presi-
dent Won der Abe this afternoon, "for then
We can get away from these stories calcu-
lated to disrupt the team. Pittsburg is full
of fakirs, and they commenced the trouble.
There is no truth in the tale about Werden
and Giasscock. Reilly has not signed, and
at the gate yesterday we talkeda bit, but did
not approach business matters. When we
get home feel sure that team work can be
got out of the Browns. The team is good
enough to win, and it will win. 1t takes
time to train lot of new men gathered from
all parts of the country to work together.
but the Browns will have long stay at
home among friends, and st. Louis will then
move up"
Some of the players, however, are bitter in
their criticism of their treatment, and it will
take lots of kind words OF encouragement to
change the feelings of resentment that have
soured them. Both Glasscock and Werden
were frank to say that they would accept
their release at once and give thanks. Cap
lain Stricken is actively engaged in the role
of peacemaker. and is doing his level best to
restore confidence among the players, who
are really blue and demoraliZed.
