ONLY THEY FAILED.
The stereotypers Have Done
Nothing But What tho
Merchant Does.
No Applause for the Man Who
Tries and Doesn't
Succeed.

There has been a great howl
against the Chicago stereoty7
pers who struck. They were
pretty we'll paid, better than
the average, and did not have
excessive hours. They struck
not because they were impelled
by a sense of justice due them
and withheld, but because they
thought they had the publish.
ers at their mercy.
In the end they were beaten
When the typographical union
refused to enforce their de-
mands the strike was doomed
They have made a costly mis-
take. r. t"--.'
That result teaches several
things. It is commentary on
the average strike that this ac-
ton is named as on itsface ex-
traordinary. Men in the unions
know and the public by impli-
cation testifies to a general be-
lief in the same, that the usual
strike is not for possible gain
but for what the men deem
fair wages. They often strike
when it must fail because they
are getting less than what they
call a living wage. They often
stand content with what seems
to them a reasonable wage
when under the conditions they
might grasp successfully for
more. Ihis und derl ying appeal
to a fair wage has more to do
with the wage level than the
naked law of supply and de-
ma1ld, certainly when the pay
of any particular trade in any
particular district is considerd
by itself.
This strike, which has caused
such an outcry, was strictly ac-
cording to the economic code
that one is entitled to all he
can get, preached bv all ortho-
dox economists. If the men
failed that was their lookout,
and the incidental inconveni-
ence to the Chicago public was
no concern of theirs-still, ac-
cording to the code in which
men are bred but in which they
somehow do not believe when
it comes to a case like this.
Suppose instead of a lot of
stereotypers it had been, say a
retail merchant. He says: !:
Goods are getting scare; it is
good business to raise prices.
If he is mistaken in the market
he loses his sales and may have
to throw the goods on the mar
ket by and by at a sacrifice.
But who visits reproaches upon
him? Who lectures him on
greed? He has merely mis-
Judged the market which he
was bound to reckon upon ac-
cording to his best knowledge.
Or if it is a coal combination,
raising prices fifty cents ton
because the demand is brisk or
the supply is artifcially short
ened. There is, indeed, some
public clamor against the ini-
quitous trust then, but none
like this fierce denunciation we
have heard upon the Chicago
stereotypers. A few men pro-
pose impotent laws, few
threaten reprisals, but the ma
jority meekly pay the tribute
and not a few declare that it is
the will of&God andAthe law of
nature. Yet an additional tax
of fifty cents a ton bears not
less heavily on not fewer -peo-
pie than the demand of these
Chicago strikers for few cents
more an hour.

FIRST VICE President.
James 0'Connell, First Vice
President of the A. r. OF l.,
Visits Duluth.

President of the A. r. Of l.,
Visits Duluth.
A mass meeting was held at
Columbia Hall, Goth avenue
west last Saturday evening.
James O'Connell, first vice
president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, was the speak
!er Of the evening. Mr.. O'Con-
mel arrived here during the day
and the meeting was called for
the purpose of letting him ad-
dress the workers of Duluth.
w. E. McEwen and Mayor Tru-
elsen made short addresses.
Mr.. O'Connell said if you
wish to succeed in this world,
you must associate yourself
with men in like walks of life
and become organized. We
organize for the purpose of
benefiting ourselves and our
fellow men. Years ago it was
a penal ofense to organize
labor unions. One of the first
things that organized labor
strives to attain is shorter
working hours. Shorter work
ing hours means more wages,
and more wages means happy
homes. God did not create man
and give him the highest hu
man intelligence simply to
make him a drudge. tits always
the man who works the long
est that gets the smallest pay.
Shorter working hours mean
less intemperance and less
crime, and when man has a
little time it will tend to bring
out the better manhood that is
in him. Organized labor says,
secondly that the wages Of men
and women should be equal
1ized. In every walk + life
where you find women work.
ing you will find them under
paid. In some places women
are compelled to toll through
the week for the beggarly sum
Of So week, and out of this to
support and clothe themselves.
Organized labor puts a stop
to this. Thirdly, organized
labor demands that child
rem under certain age shall
be taken from the factor
les and sent to school. Today
thousands of little children are
employed in the factories, and
toll from morning to night for
wages amounting to almost
nothing. It is this kind Of
work that makes the children
grow up to be incorporate and
commit crimes, and it is also
what makes anarchists. Or
ganized labor says, "Give us
more schools and fewer jails,"
"Give. us more employment
and less charity" Organized
labor does not aim to stir up
strife between the employe and
employer; it tries to make re-.
1ations between the two as
pleasant as possible. It is
when men are unorganized that
these strained relations exist.
Some men say they recognize
that organized labor is bene-
fcial to them, but that they
cannot join the organization
because the people at the head
of it are different. This is not
right, and the sooner you get
rid of that idea the better it
will be for you, your families
and for humanity.
Mr.. O'Conne1l, in closing,
urged all present that were not
members of labor organizations
to lose no time in becoming
members.
The labor world., 1898-07-23
Indeed they we're not the

men in the world. Perhaps
when it comes to final account
ing they will stand wellin com
parison with even philanthrop-
ic Mr.. Carnegie or benevolent
Mr.. Rockefeller.
Only they failed. That is a
mistake. There is no applause
for the man who tries to be
greedy and doesn't succeed.
y y
Turn to the other side. A
few days ago the 'Atchinson
system voluntarily advanced
wages. Not much later the
Northern Pacific also voluntar-
ily restored the old scale for
some of it's men. What cho-
rus of acclaim went up for the
handed generosity of these
companies. There was even
some gentle homily on the for
bearance of the men in waiting
till the railroads could afford to
do Justice, and mild 1ecturing
on the good sense that waited
the good time of the employer
instead Of Gripping his good
intent by previous battling for
gains. #
All of which is very edifying.
We do not wish to deny any Of
this. Certainly it is good sense
often and often to accept the
half loaf. Certainly these COM
panies should have credit for
doing ungrudgingly what other
corporations have done at last
under compulsion. Yet from
our point of view it is not easy
to enter into the fulness Of en-
thusiasm for the generosity Of
the employers.
It might be said that prices
for many things are higher
than they were two years ago
and that a restoration Of the
old scale is not quite a restora-
ton Of the old wages. It might
be said that the men who have
waited uncomplainingly all this
time have received no excess
of generosity in the keeping Of
the promise that wages should
be restored as soon as possible.
We like to think it is not as.
tonishing after all, as it seems
to some of the capitalistic pa
pers, that corporations should
keep faith, with their men or
that they should pay due wag-
es instead of applying the mon
ey to unearned dividends. We
still have better faith in com
mon human nature than these
corporation organs which trum-
pet the rarity of common hon
esty.
But we have no wish to min
imize the good action. From
the corporation standpoint the
managers of these roads have
been liberal.
They would disclairn active
benevolence themselves; they
would assure their stockholders
this step was good business.
Yet there is an element of right
eousness aside from business
compulsion, there is a willing
concession that is hard to make
sometimes even when a man
knows it is soon inevitable, and
for that cordial good will, let
them have all credit.
1t is for us to learn from it,
that mort men would rather do
justly. 1t is for us to take the
hint that the nearer the en-
ployer and the union can ap-
proach to a common under
standing of each others pur-
poses, the better both can serve
common ends-for in the con-
flict of interests they still have
common interests and it is not
altogether. untruth, what the
apologists often make untruth
