Will Do All in His Power to Make the
Strike a Success

VIII DO All in His Power to Make the
Strike a Success.
New YORK. July 7.-President Samuel Com
pers, of the American Federation of Labor.
returned to-day from Philadelphia, where he
had been to assist in the settlement of a
local strike. He was in a very cautious
mood and expressed himself with delibera-
tion on matters lertaining to the railroad
strike.
When questioned as to the probability of
the strike reaching this city, he said: 81
should prefer not to venture my reputation
as a prophet. New things are dairy happen
ing to change the situation"
He expressed himself as decidedly in SYM
patty with the strikers. and said if his asso-
citation could be OF any assistance in bringing
the strike to successful end it would do so,
He was strong in his denunciation of the Fed
eral government in ordering out the regulars
before the state troops had been called and
found to be inefficient. This, he said, was a
Volation OF one of the fundamental princi-
piles upon which this government is founded.
Arrangements are making for monster
labor demonstration to be held Monday
evening at Cooper Union. The purpose of
the meeting is to protest against the inter-
ference by the national government in the
present strike. A number of prominent
speakers will be secured. President Debs. of
the American Railway Union, will be invited
to speak. Among others thus far secured
are President Gompers, Master Workman
Sovereign, of the Knights OF Labor; H. B.
Martin. OF the general executive board: Pet, 7
J. MCGUIRE. general secretary of the United
Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Joipers; H. b.

FEDERAL ENcRoACHMENr.

Indianapolis Sentinel-It is noticeable that
all the Judges who are fairly falling over
themselves 10 aid the railroads in the struggle
with their employees are Republicans.
Chicago T.mes.-The injunction is becom-
ing menace TO liberty. 1t is a weapon ever
ready for the capitalist. and there should be
more careful Federal legislation limiting its
use.
Newburg Register-One danger Of it all is
the appearance OF soldiers. These latter e.
resent force. and force means suppression.
Take il all in all. the test of the republic is
as great now rs it was in the civil war.
Springfield Repubiican.-We have said be-
fore and now repeat that the government can
not justly Interfere against railway strikes
unless il is also prepared to protect employees
in their rights against railway managers.
Evansville Courier.-If Attorney General
Olney's decision is right, any citizen may call
for national troops to take his side in pri-
vate difference with his employees. This is a
declaration of Federal authority which has
not been made before.
Syracuse Herald-This Injunction is ono
OF the most radical Judicial acts ever taken
by the Federal courts. 1t is certain to be
made a political issue. Its consequences will
WORK long after the present strike has be-
come only memory.
Rochester Times-The government can
not in any sense be criticized for restoring
peace after the state militia has been tried
and found wanting. but thers are circum-
stances in eonne:tIon with the present ac-
tion OF the Washin ton authorities which
will draw censure from q great many peo-
pie.
Buff no Enquirer.-A judicious abuse Of
legal process coupled with the employment of
United States troops to turn an occasional
switch ami couple a car now aud then when
necessary would bring the strike to speedy
termination. But what profit would there be
TO the people of this country to settle the
strike by such methods? The anarchy to
which such proceedings would tend would be
infinitely more dangerous than al strike that
