1T Is A NUISANCE.

A Chicago Paper says Fights Between
Capital and Labor are UnendurabIe.
CHICAGO, July 4.-The Chicago Daily
News says: The one fact which forces
itself upon the attention Of the public in
the grave crisis toward which the rail-
way strike seems to be hurrying is that,
however the problem at stake may be
regarded, the result of the strike as re-
vealed in present conditions is injustice
to the general public and menace to
the law and peace of the country.
No labor struggle of recent years has
given more impressive illustration of
the need of some legallzed agency for
the settlement of contests between the
forces of labor and capital. Wherever
justice may lie in the present dispute, it
is clear that the existing method of con-
testing differences is not, when continued
for any length of time, seeking for JUS
tice at ALL 1t is simply fight between
contestants The victory is not supposed
the right. but to the side which
puts up the strongest battle and
can force the other to accept its way of
thinking. II any one doubts that this
expedient for settling labor contrO-
versy is in conflict with the principles of
law and order, let him suppose a similar
condition between two individuals, and
imagine what would be thought were
they to fight out their contest by sys-
tenn of privately conducted reprisals in
stead OF r65CTlln4 10 tu0 courts LOT
legal determination as to the rights in
the case
The anomalous condition produced by
the present struggle Will sooner or later
bring about a demand for some national
means by which labor questions can be
adjudicated fairly and honestly by arbi-
tration. At present in such contests both
sides suffer aud the public suffers with
them. and the result Of all this violence
and disregard of law IS not dependent
upon the merits Of the case, but upon
the com mparative fighting strength of the
1fSrrf4ura

CHIcA GO, July 4.-The Fourth Of July
was almost a mockery In Chicago. The
day WAS made the occasion for d big bon
fire, but it was not in the way of celebra-
ton AS if in defiance OF calling
out the federal troops came an act of in
cendiarism against the allied railroads.
Almost the first news Of the national
holiday was report Of the firing of
number of cars at West Pullman in the
Blue Island district of the Rock Island
road.
The confagration took place just far
enough away to be out of quick reach Of
the detachment of federal troops sent to
the point last night from Fit Sheridan.
They report the number Of cars burned
at nearly a dozen, all Of them freight
cars.
A few passenger trains arrived at the
depots in the city and were unmolested-
Que of these was a Santa Fe train,
reaching Dearborn station at 10 a. N.
with one Pullman attached. It entered
the station with armed deputies.
