FORCE. AND WHEN EMPLOYED.

FORCE, AND WHEN EMPLOYED.
In response to the senseless raving and
malice of demagogic leaders and super
fcial thinkers, the Cleveland Leader calls
attention to the fact that in no instance
were the late strikers interfered with by
authority until they committed ofenses
against the laws:
That fact not only proves the utter falsity of
the chatter of the demagogues and desperate
labor leaders TO the effect that the power of
| the Government was used to oppress work
lngmen, buI il gives the lie TO those ignorant,
thoughtless, or dishonest pessimists who say
tfat the condition Of the poor is going from
bad to worse, and that it is now more wretch
| ed than 1t was in the Middle Ages. The time
Is not far distant when 1t was common for the
Worklngman to be despoiled by his lords or
| py the State, without hope or redress or cover
| OF law. In comparatively recent times no
| poor man was sure OF his property rights or
OF his personal safety, no matter how care
| fully ne might try To avoid the wrath or no.
tice OF the great. Then the laborer who could
save himself from violent death, protect
his wife from shame and keep roof over his
head and a little food in his larder, was for
| tunate man.
Nevertheless it is common to hear in
this country the cry that labor conditions
are worse with US than in the old world
hundreds of years ago. How many peo-
pie can there be who accept as true such
falsehoods? Whoever makes the state
ment either fslsifes or proves his igno-
rance of history. The fact is that nine
out of ten who preach such falsity are
foreign ranters and the ,emissaries of in
fuences plotting to undermine American
institutions. The tenth man may be an
| American and sincere.
The truth is that the world does not GO
backward, nor are conditions growing
harder for labor in the matter of COM
fort, free action and opportunity in life
1t is in evidence to every sensible man,
as the Leader well says, that;
The time has gone by forever when the
wage-earners of civilized lands can be at
Tackled by the rich or by the Government
without the immediate ayenging of the
wrong. In this country there is no such
thing as aggressive force directed against
workingmen.
That one fact is proof of advance made
which is not paralleled in any other na-
ton. Force with us is directed only
against lawlessness. Let those who have
really believed to the contrary pause and
consider for one moment the history of
the United States to the present hour,
and ne will become convinced of his
error. Force is not employed in this land
to depress labor conditions or pro-
mote special privileges. 1t is employed
only to uphold the law and suppress law
lessness in the interest of the poorest and
humblest, as well as the richest and most
pretentious.

This great book has sold for years
at SO to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are Io4xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford sI6 and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was SO COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-bettef
than ever before-and has hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies ol
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

The assumption that railways must be
purchased by the Government because a
sympathetic strike has extended TO many
OF them and temporarily paralyzed the
business of the country is midsummer
madness. The Government would be
weaker, not stronger, if the railways were
under its control and management. The
railway workers would form an immense
Government army which would be a
standing force in political elections. II
every railway in the country were owned
by the Government, there would be an
organized force OF public empIoyes upon
which political parties would be abso-
lutely dependent, and which would be
constantly tempted to affiliate with trade
unions and the working classes. This is
the last country in the world where that
form of State socialism can be safely in
troduced.

Compulsory arbitration to be effective
would have to make its judgments en-
forceable upon employers and employees
alike. Courts enforce contracts which
the parties have made voluntarily, but
compulsory arbitration makes contract
for beth sides and then undertakes to en-
force it, which would be impossible.

If the labor organizations will make
themselves responsible in damages for the
violation of labor contracts in the same
way that the employers are responsible
for any violation of contracts that they
may enter into, long step will have been
taken toward the settlement OF labor dis
putes, and the demand for any other kind
of compulsory arbitration will probably
cease altogether.

Woodland Democrat

Tt NAV be possible that some govern
1nents have existed in the past and may
exist to-day in the world which were and
are SO vicious or inhuman that they
ought not to be obeyed, but this certainly
cannot be said of the Government of the
United States. the freest. the wisest, the
most humane, the stablest, and the best
calculated under the sun to promote
human happiness and progress and to
preserve and protect individual liberty.
HIS PLAIN DUTY.
Chicago Herald.l
In ordering Federal troops to the city
of Chicago the President was performing
his plain duty to the people, and he would
still be within the lines of his duty if he
also personally directed the course OF the
militia in the city.
NOT Il PANACEA.
louisville Courier-JournaL
1t is evident that arbitration can not be
a panacaa for all labor troubles, however
beneficent may be its operation in partieu-
lar cases. Arbitration can not force a
man to work against his will, nor can it
force another man to carry on business
at a loss. 1t is applicable to cases of
reasonable differences Of opinion, but it
can not be applied to cases of groundless
claims to control the actions of others.
1T IS NO ARBITRATION.
Placerville Democrat.
Compulsory arbitrationn is not arbi-
tration. the essence whereof is voluntary
submission of differences and voluntary
submission to judgment. If either refer
ence or obedience is enforced, the arbi-
traitors are simply court without power
to do anything but apply the law.
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.

TROUBLE SURELY AHEAD.


The Government Takes IL Hnnd ut Chicago

This mornings dispatches bring word
that serious trouble between the police
and federal troops on one side and the
strikers and their sympathizers on the
other has begun. No shooting of conse-
quence has been INDUCED in and no one
has been seriously hurt, but the efforts of
the railroad companies to move trains
have proven entirely futile, the police
and soldiers assistance notwithstanding.
The federal government seems to have
fully decided to take hand and General
Miles gives it out that elf the forces now
at command are not sufficient, the gov
ernment will furnish more" Serious
trouble at Chicago is inevitable.
At 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon this
bulletin was sent out from that city:

to fire on any one who attempts to un-

States soldiers are hooted and the police
officers do not seem to have control.

Local Effect OF the strike.

In Montana there have been no trains
from the east for over week, except
those Of the Great N Northern, and already
a shortage of staple provisions is reported
in the several distributing centers. AT
Helena, Butte and Anaconda prices have
materially advanced on Il number of food
products, such as eggs, butter, sugar, etc,
while fresh fruit is rapidly reaching an
altitude much greater than that ever at
tanned by Gilderoy's proverbial kite.
Deer Lodge merchants have already been
compelled to send freightlng outfits to
Butte for such supplies as they are short
OF, and in turn, have been called on by
merchants Of Anaconda and places of
lesser note for all the goods in particular
lines that they can spare. I tile strike
is long continued it is thought that sugar
and salt will be the first Of the staples to
give out, here and elsewhere, to be fol-
lowed closely by tea, coffee and cured
meats. Flour can be obtained within a
few days from the various mills Of the
state, and there is live stock sufficient to
supply fresh meats for an indefinite pc
riod. Local travel is not suffering to any
great extent. Horses and vehicles were
early brought into requisition and old
fashioned stagezcoachcs and imnrovised
carry-alls are already being utilized for
passenger service between various towns.
During the week the Deer Lodge livery
stables have been taxed to the utmost to
meet the demands Of travel, and every
sort Of private conveyance is being util-
lied. Deer Lodge has been practically
without mail service for Il week, the only
means Of obtaining information concern
ing the outside world being through the
Anaconda Standard which, with charac-
terstic enterprise, has inaugurated a
handcar service of distribution for its
daily editions throughout the state.

Organized Labor in Sympathy.

The press dispatches daily recite the
action Of organized labor in other branch
cs OF industry all over the United States
in passing resolutions of sympathy with
the A. r. T., coupled with offers of finan-
cial assistance, whenever called upon.
and, IN some instances, in industries
closely identified with railroad work,
with offers to strike in sympathy when
ever called upon to do so. The situation
hourly grows more serious and in the
opinion OF many, the great and long pre-
dicted fight between organized labor and
organized capital is fairly begun. Unless
a settlement of the railway strike is
reached within a few days, it seems
probable that a general strike against
every form OF corporate oppression may
be instituted at any time.
