Amidst Prosperity (7) Men Strike to Avoid
Starvation,

1t is a bitter commentary on the
vaunted prosperity of the Mckinley
administration to record the fact
that, to-day i'll Pennsylvania, there
are more laborers facing the want
and impoverishment of strikes than
was ever known at any one period
in the history of the Common
wealth. On Monday last I42 900
Anthracite coal miners were forced
to quit work because the wages
paid were insufficient to afford the
scantiest living. On Tuesday 600
men, employed by the Danville
Steel Company refused to accept a
reduction Of IS per cent. in wages
and were compelled to seek other
employment or starve. AT other
labor centres the same condition of
affairs exists.
In the face of these facts we are
told the country is prosperous. Re-
publicans would have us believe
that the people are happy and con-
tented, and that plenty awaits all
who care to enjoy it.
This may be true of those who
are the fortunate beneliciaries of
tariff protected trusts, 1t may be
fact, SO far as that class Of people,
who neither labor nor produce, are
concerned, but with the others
the toiling millions - the weary
workers - whose only hope is to
earn enough to furnish a meagre
living to those dependent upon
them, the conditions that force
them to strike, write it down as
plain, intentional falsehood.
Men do not risk the privations,
the sacrifices and the dangers of
strikes without reason. The man
who must depend upon his daily
work for his daily bread does not
abandon his job and face starvation
Tor himself and family without
cause. Nor can there be cause for
such conditions if the country is
prosperous. as Republicans are con-
stantly telling us ours is now.
Surely, there is something wrong
in public affairs when the drones in
the industrial! hives, and the specu-
lators in our commercial marts, are
glorying in the profits they are
pocketing and the prosperity that
crowns their efforts, while those
whose labor produce the wealth of
the country are compelled to strike
to escape starvation.
But so it is. Under the guiding
hand Of William Mckinley:
Trusts have prospered.
Syndicates have flourished.
Peculation has thrived and the
rich and the indolent have been
happy.
But what of the workers and the
common people3
What of the great masses who
earn their bread by the sweat of
their brow?
Where is the prosperity for them?
Let the strikes that are paralyz-
ing business and starving labor an
swer this.-Dem. Wakchman.
