"SThlKiS CONT PAY"

Thus smoke Eugene Debs in a meet
mo of the National Labor Conference a
few days ago. saying;
"Strikes don't pay. All strikes are
lost. They are useless. They are
caused by the employing classes.
When capitalists eady r. strk
they provoke them, knowing wen
their cause is won before the con-
fict is begun. ~
"Tre various labor unions of this
country have Ill they can do to take

thy Of the public, and even or part
Of tie employing classes. rs that one
did. and when an appeal was inside
for financial old. less than seven
ccrts per striking miner was recelv-
ed"
We confess that our observation has
corresponded to that Of Mr. Dehs-that,
waving all questions of whether the
strikers were in the right. strikes have
not paid the strikers. We were mucn
surprised, however, some days ago at the
statistics of strikes, publ shed by Car
roll d. Wright, Labor Comm ssloner'
showing that, whereas ten years ago less
than one third of the strikes succeed
ed. now sixty four out of hundred sue
ceeded wholly or partially. 1t may be
truly said that the Potentially OF strike
does more to keep up wages than an
actual strike. Employers are often de-
TERED from reductions by the knowl-
edge that strike may ensue. and as a
rule employers are DESTROYS Of prevent
ing any rupture between Themselves anu
those who are in their employ.
Whether strikes pay or not. they are
always attended with much bitterness
and after with loss Of life. Nothing but
the gravest wrongs. therefore. ought to
warrant a resort to this method Of set
Ting labor disputes. The principle of ar
bitrat:on, often made while strikes are
in progress or threatened. will some day
come to be a requirement Of law.

Harrison says of it:
''If it is true that these men Eere
discharged because they were active
in organizing union for their pro-
lection, bel eve public sentiment
should support them in the event of

great deal of t,lk of railroad COM

r,ovc"l " inr;ca ton of Proviso to
Fourth Section.
Washington. ID. c.. Sept. 2S.-The In
ter-Statc Commerce Commission to-day
announced it's decision of two long and
short haul cas9s in an opinion by Com
missioner Knapp. in the case of Fewell
against the Alabama and Vicksburg Rail-
way and others in the matter of coal
rates charged by the Alabama and
Nickshurg and Alabama Great Southern
Railway companies. These cases IN
volved the transportation of coal from
Corona. Birmingham. and Blocton. Ala
hama. to local points in Mississippi on
thu, Alabama and Vicksburg Railway AT
higher rat ties than were charged for
longer distnces over the same line to
Jackson and Vicksburg, Mississippi. The
various carriers from labama mines to
Jackson agreed upon the rate to that
place. which was less for each line than
was charged on coal to shorter distance
points over the same line in the same di-
rection. This. the opinion held, violates
the fourth section of the Inter State
Comm rec Act. Coal from Alabama
mines to VickShurg must go by railroad.
The competition of such coal in Vicks-
hurg is with coal brought over long dis
tances down the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers from the Pittsburg, Pa. district.
This competition was held not to be
rail and water competition for trans
portation from the same locality. but the
competition of mines or markets for sup
plying coal to Nirkshurg, the force and
effect of which IS determined by com
mercial considerations peculiar to the
business Of shippers and wholly discon-
nectel from the circumstances and con-
diti0ns under which transportation is
conducted. The Commission further

going ashore each of the party was told
to expect to find some disagreeable
things, but to be prepared to keep Silent

found. All agreeing, the party was
landed and the search begun. When the.
expedition returned aboard it bore lot
