A PerilOus Labor Strike.

The present labor strike is not
only the most causeless but the
most perilous of all the labor
strikes of our history, and it is
even more p%erilous to the strikers
themselves and to organized labor
than it can be to the railroads.
Of all the thousands of men who
have stopped work and seek to
hinder others from taking their
places to move railway trains,
there is not one who has a dis
pute with his employer either as
to wages or terms of labor. They
have been called out by an arbi-
trary despot who happen to have
the power to control these rail
way men, and all of them would
willingly return to their posts of
labor it permitted to do SO, as
they have no differences what
ever to adjust with their employ
erS.
The Pullman Car Company
employs, several thousand men
when business is ordinarily pros
porous, and has not only paid
liberal wages, but has provided
the best homes for employees to
be found on the continent. The
year of severe depression that
has fallen with especial severity
upon the railways of the country
has necessarily deprived the
Pullman Company of orders for
cars. All railways in the land
have ample cars to move the
lessened trade and travel in the
present demoralized condition of
industry and the trade, and
there has been little or nothing
for the Pullman Company to do.
Rather than discharge the men
who have been employed by the
Pullman Company, it was decided
to keep them at somewhat re-
duced wages, but the employees
themselves solved the problem
by demanding an increase, ane
thus relieved the Pullman mana
gers of the necessity of providing
for their helpless people. They
could find no employment else
where, as no a establishments
need workmen when the Pull
man shops are idle.
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-07-05

By the strike of the Pullman
employees they served the Pull
man Company in the best way
possible, as it could have no pro-
fit in manufacturing cars when
there is no sale for them. Be
cause the Pullman employees
chose to strike, a boycott has been
ordered by the railway labor or
ganizations against the use of
Pullman cars, and thus tens of
thousands Of workmen have been
forced into a strike without any
dispute whatever with their en-
ployers, to compel the Pullman
Company to employ men at in
creased wages when that COM
pany does not desire to employ
any, for the reason that it has no
work for them to do.
There have been many suici-
dial labor strikes in the country
ordered by hot-headed labor Off
Gals, but never before has one
been ordered that did not have
some shadow of justification or
excuse. We casnot conceive of
any method that could have been
adopted by the foes of organ
lied labor to wound organized
so deeply. When labor is
striking against starvation and
wages it always enlists public
sympathy in it's favor as long as
it is law-abiding, but when a la
Dor strike is arbitrarily ordered
to disturb the trade and travel of
the whole country with no issue
whatever between the workmen
and their employers, public SEN
timent must be speedily and
sternly crystallized against the
tolerance of such wrongs against
all public and private interests.
This strike is entirely causeless,
and it is especially perilous to
the strength and permancy of
labor, for organized labor, NO
matter how thoroughly cemented,
like everything else is dependent
upon public sympathy for it's
continued existence.
This railway strike is SO peril
Gus to public comfort and safety
and SO far-reaching in it's aim
that it must be r~esolutely met
and overthrown. It is the one
strike. of the last generation
that cannot be temporized with,
for to temporize with such a
power would be to endanger the
whole industry and commerce OF
the country. The railroad mer

repetition Of such strikes. The
duty of the railroads is clean
and imperative. They must ut

has ordered this strike or they
must give up all hope of the sue

every condition and class Of the
countryside poor quite as much
as the rich, and the battle should
be short, sharp and decisive.
