the chances are that the struggle over

REsIDEN M,BR1DEs FA1LuRE.


The appeal which the national officers of
the United Mine Workers have made in
defense Of the Columbus compromise of
Tuesday is in strange contrast with the
exultation of the fiambuoyant DEGREES with
which the strike was inaugurated. 1t is a

Stunning work are concessions by those who
confess defeat. True, these officers claim
a victory, but when they say that they
nave agreed to the terms offered, because
the manufacturing, railroad and other con-
Stunning forces were turning against them,
and that to continue the conflict ten days
longer would be to lose all. they confess de-
feat. If anything has been accomplished
by the strike it is not in the way of in
creased compensation. In few localities are
the wages of three months ago retained,
and in most of them there is a slight re-
duction compared with those in force when
the sympathetic strike in the interest
of the mine owners began. Some of the
Indiana miners could nave settled two
or three weeks ago on better terms than
| those which the national officers now die
tate. The officers claim to have prevented
a proposed reduction of wages, which may
or may not be true; but they certainly
have agreed that many miners shall go
to work for less wages than they were re-
ceiving when they quit work. In every
case the national officers have retreated
from that ultimatum upon which the strike
was based. The clearing up of coal stocks
throughout the country. which miners have
tried to prevent by derailing trains and
destroying bridges. will help to sustain
wages. and that is all the good that can
be attributed to a strike which has in
hicted so great injury.
We learn by experience. but the tuition
Is always expensive. In this ease it has
been extravagantly high; but 1t has been
demonstrated that a general strike cannot
be made successful. and that every great
strike must end in compromise after ar
bitration. 1t also teaches that the demon
strative talker and the proclarnation-mak-
ing person is not the man to be at the
head OF a vast organization. II should

The miners will have to abide by the de-

that no result could be attained, a commit

which would insure a nomination. These
rules were adopted by the convention, and
thereafter six ballots resulted in a nomi-
