N FE STRIKE.

The collapse OF tho telegraphers
strike on the Santa Fe Is another EVIL
dence OF the futiity OF a strike when
there Is no concerted action among as
ISOLATED unions. Had there been a per-
fecet understanding the result would
have been more satisfactory and the
Santa Fe company would have more
respect for organized labor as repre-
scented by the unions upon its system.
As the record of the strike proves,
the order Withdrawing the telegraph
ers from their keys on the Galveston
division was premature and In issuing
the order the committee overlooked
tho solemn compact enterd into with
the Santa Fe 10 give thirty days no.
tice OF the strike. II was this very
omission which handicapped the ON
GERS of the trainsmen's union n theiI
negotiations IN behalf Of the tsle-
sraphers at Chicago.
