While the dying strike drags its slow
length along, causing pain to itself and
apprehension to many persons, the
lahoring men of the country will have
time to ask whether good could have
resulted from the strike under any con-
ceivable circumstances Possibly, to
some of the strikers there might have
been transient gain in wages, and to
others a return to their old employ
ment and pay, but the majority of
them must in any event have returned
to their occupations less Independent
of their employers than before. In
isolated localities, in special trades-in
short, under circumstances having a
purely local ignificance-strikes may
gain all they are instituted for. But
these occasions, in our days of great
enterprise and close communication.
are few and of no Importance to the
great body of workers These are the
cold facts.
The reasonable wages and the 9th err
advantages of the American laborer
must hereafter be sought through
other means than strikes.-Indec- Ap-

that these young men are paying too
high price for the little sport they
are having. Some of them, we have

they are making good living to trot
around with ball team just for the
dissipation, or fun as it is miscalled,
and the necessary means to pay their
