The Coming Coal Mine Strike

L nC SOIlIuS val a
While tens of thousands of men are
suffering poverty and p~rivation for
lack of any work at all, several thou
sand soft coal miners of Pennsylvania
are selfishly, madIy, criminally de-
termined to stop work next Satur-
day, abandoning all pay themselves
and throwing many thousands OIL
other men out of employment in the
course of the following week. From
this act there must flow incalculable
sorrow and loss. Even in times OF
great prosperity, such a strike would
be a desperate blow to the country
The positive loss of wealth from the
cessation of industry, the stoppage OF
production, would be most serious
The blow to credit and confidence
would be severe. The check to n
terprise would be felt far and widefor
many months.
How much more deadly is the in
Jury at this time, when Industry is
hardly recovering from the paralysis
of a business panic. How much more
cruel is the wrong to other working
men, whose savings are exhausted by
months OF idleness, whose families are
lifted and ill-clothed from long lack
OF pay.
And, withal, how hopeless is a strike
at this time when so many men are
eager to take any chance OF work, at
n sort Of pay that may be offered.
The prospect is for a repetition ofthe
Conne1lsville collapse. All the harm
will be done, and nothing will be
gained.
This is the sort of strike, ill-timed,
ill-judged, selfish, ruinous, hopeless,
which raises up hosts OF enemies to
the cause of organized labor among
those who look at only side of a ques-
ton, and who contract permanent i'm
pressions from single instances.
1t is worth remembering. too, that
these same men who are about TO
strike are the same who are mar
shalled to the polls by thousands to
vote for protective tariffs, to yoke
ABOUT their own necks by their own
votes the thralI of slavery. For, il
there were free trade in coal, the mine
bosses dare not let this strike take
place. The foreign producers would
rush in and seize the markets. To
keep their control the mine owners
would be obliged to grant their opera
tives any reasonable demands they
might make. Competition Is the true
protection of the wage Garner, and
there can be no competition while
trusts and high tariffs create
monopolies.
