IMPoL1CY OF STRIKES.

The cases in which men who go on
strikes attain their object without
more loss than gain are comparatively
few. Only the other day the workers
in the coke region Of Pennsylvania
went on strike. We do not profess to
be familiar with the causes which led
to it nor the circumstances surround
ing the case, but we are inclined to
the opinion that the Pittsburg Dis
patch is right when it says that the
certainty about it is it is an agita-
tors strike, and that an advance in
wages could have been more easily
and promptly secured without it."
That is generally the case, not al
ways, and the men who agitate for a
strike are the worst enemies the work.
ingmen have. Workingmen too often
fail to distinguish between a mere
agitator and leader No one will
contend that employers would always
grant the just demands of laborers if
there were no organization among
them. This organization has COM
PEELED recognition of their rights, but
if it were possible to ascertain, we be-
lieve that labor organizations would
say that nine-tenths of the strikes
have been failures while nine-tenths
Of their triumphs have been

borers recognize the impolicy of
strikes save as a very last resort
they will have made big advance

WOMEN AND "THE RANK AND
FILED

The Chicago Journal, a Republican
spaper. announces with great self
satisfaction that the Illinois Demo
cratic convention which was called
in June by State Chairman Hinrich
sen, and which adopted free silver
resolutions. was a result of female in
fuence in the Hinrichsen family. The
Journal publishes the following by
Miss Savilla Hinrichsen, who is state
librarian of Illinois and a sister of the
state chairman:
There is not the least doubt in the
world that the rank and file of the
people of Illinois are in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
1 believe 1 was the first one to talk
with my brother on the subject, and
mother gave him no peace until he
became convinced that free silver
was the issue and called the state
convention.
Well and what of it? If the women
favor free silver coinage it is
a sign that the women have
good political and financial sense.
But since there is not the
least doubt that the rank and file of
the people of Illinois are in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer. the convention was all right. the
resolution it passed was all right, and
the support of the ladies is a good
sign Of the success of the cause.
It will be found when this silver
question is brought to popular issue
that 1.-THE rank and file of the people"
of other states than Illinois will be
on the silver side. We are aware that
