ImnOliiIc Railroad Strikes.

The n. Y. Journal of Commerce says
that the railroad strike could not have
taken place at time more likely to in
vite defeat than the present. In the
first place, it is a sympathetic strike,
possessing all the weaknesses of such
movements. Then, it is an unreason-
able strike. because business is every
where under extraordinary depression,
and the corporations involved have
suffered heavy losses, which it is inevi
table that employees must feel in some
degree. 1t is also an impolitic strike,
because it is wholly lacking in the sup
port of public opinion; and, finally, it
is an unjust strike, because it inten
tionalIy inhicts injury upon railroads,
shippers and the public which have no
true interest in the dispute. In the
end it may strengthen the position of
the railroads, because defeat will enable
them to reduce wages somewhat iii pre-
portion to the reductions in traffic and
rates which have been in effect for the
last few months Since January LIST
the diminution in railroad earnings has
ranged from Is to 90 per cent, and even
more. That wages must be lowered
under such circumstances is not only
just, but inevitable, or the already long
list of bankrupt railroads will be great
ly augmented. The numbers of un-
employed in the ranks of skilled labor
is a fatal weakness in the present atti-
tude of labor leaders.
