BALLOTS VS.. STRIKES.

The announcement that commission will
be appointed to inquire into the causes of the
Debs strike will not meet with favor among
wage earners, because the commission is
not empowered to arbitrate. to recommend a
method of settlement, or to do anything ex-
cept to make an investigation, which at best
is poor consolation for men who have been
wronged and VINO seek justice.
The welfare of the public, the necessities of
trade and commerce, and the general pros
perity of the country depend upon some other
means Of settling labor disputes than buIet
and bayonet force, and the revival Of an old
law authorizing a commission of inquiry that
has neither power nor jurisdiction will
never atone for the blood shed by soldiers at
Chicago and other places during the recent
strikes
The commission can report as to the
causes of the strike, and may perhaps attach
blame to the culpable parties, but it
has neither power nor jurisdiction TO
inilict penalties, and when dealing with
the Pullman and railroad corporations
will meet with nothing but defiance and dissim-
ulation. What wage earners want and must
have is fair treatment and justice at the
hands of both government and employers.
If social and economic conditions were dit-
ferent, if there was lack of abundance for all,
and if over-populaticn and other causes had
made work. ne people dependent there might
be necessity for force Of arms to keep them in
subjection. But in this land of plenty work
ing people are industrious, intelligent and in
dependent. Their rights and privileges are
equal to those OF their employers, or the rich
est to be found, and nothing but a full and
free enjoyment OF their rights and privileges
will ever be satisfactory.
Past experience has demonstrated that
workingmen ar e the tools of employers in
more ways than one. The result of their labor
builds fortunes for those who control our
commercial and industrial enterprises. and
their ballots fill congress and other legisla-
tive bodies with men always ready TO do the
bidding of cooperative power
1t is folly to seek redress in strikes or in
any other way where cooperative power is
met in an open-handed contest. The infiu-
ence Of money, the betrayal of pretended
friends, the stoppage of business, and the
prejudice Of courts of justice combine to de-
feat the cause of workingmen. But there is
redress in the proper use Of the ballot and
that alone should be employed.
Elect none but well-known friends of labor
to legislative office. and above all avoid max
ing corporation lawyers candidates for any
public office. Their entire sympathies are
with cooperative power, ard they cannot be
depended upon in times of need to do justice
to labor. Change the method of contest from
strikes to the ballot, rely upon votes to win
the fight rather than upon force. and, if
necessary lay aside political party affiliation
and unite in one great industrial party. which
shall have for its prime object the emancipa-
ton of labor and the restriction of CORPORA
tive power.

There is very different story from that
generally published, going tire rounds as TO
the reasons why Chairman Wilson abandoned
the conference meeting SO suddenly yester day.
Rumor has it that in the course OF his dis
Gu ssion on the coal and iron schedule he be-
came so disgusted with the attitude Of several
OF the Senate conferees that he could not con-
ia in himself and left the conference room
with some very plain words and refused to go
back. Then, it is said Mr.. Breckinridge, as a
friend of Mr.. Wilson. was called in and after
some talk it was finally arranged that he
should take Mr.. Breckinridge's place and the
conference go on. Just how much there is in
TIE story it is hard to tell, but 1t seemed
rather surprising that the West Virginia
member should have given up so soon for any
reasons of health, especially after so long a
vacation.
