stipulation being that those who have been
recognized as guilty by the Chinese Govern

suit was a compromise in that form, and the
severity of the punishment 10 he inflicted

SOME AFTERTHOUGHTS ON
THE SANTA FEE STRIKE.

Ihe article on the santa Fee operat-
ors' strike in today's paper is sug-
gestiye in more ways than one. In
worst features of the trade organiza-
lions of the present day, in which. the
Individual has very little to say, and
tremendous responsibility is vested in
the executive officers. AS these officers
are frequently elected through meth
DDS similar to those that decide politi-
cal elections, and are not necessarily
the men best fitted for the positions
they hold, the result is tnat great in
justice is often done to the members
of the guild. by hasty. injudicious. and
LII considered action on the part of the
officers.
In the second place it illustrates the
unfairness and bad policy Of the black
list on the part of the railroads. The
blacklist is indefensible, and its use
invariably sets public sentiment
against the corporations that employ
It. 1t is unnecessary. and it is unjust.
The railroads cannot break up the
trade unions in such a way. even were
such an end desirable. The punish
ment inflicted falls not upon those
officers of the order, but upon many
innocent men, VINO are dependent upon
their regular employment for support
for their families. These men, many OF
them, went out against their will and
their judgment, in obedience to the
order from the superior whom they
nominally helped to elect. The idea
Of unionIsm is so hrmly grounded in
the minds Of wage earners. that when
men go out on strike in this way they
can Hardly be called to account indi-
vidually; at any rate. they are suffi-
GENTLY punished in being shut out and
replaced in their old positions, and
forced to seek work elsewhere in an
already overcrowded profession.
Hence to attempt to carry out the pun
ishment of individuals indefinitely by
blacklisting them is decidedly against
public policy. .
In the third place, the article leads
to reflections upon the morals of trades
unions, and the underlying motives
that prompt certain acts. Many oper-
ators express it as their opinion that
the executive officers of the trainmen's
unions constituting the committees
that met with the railway officials and
President Dolphin. were bought OF"
by the railway people after they had

given the telegraphers assurance of
their cooperation. 1t is not known
what grounds these men may have for
the statement. 1t may be that they do
not mean to say just that. But it is
unfortunate that members of one union
should be placed in the position of ac-
cusing members of a brother order with
having acted il bad faith. 1t tends to
throw discredit on the whole system
in the minds of outsiders, and causes
the average reader to wonder what sort
of men the orders put at their head
If they can be corrupted so easily. Like
Bryan, when he charged that the re-
publIcans were buying democratic vot-
ers by the hundred thousand, the men
who make such charges foul their own
nest. and dlscredit their own organiza-
lions.
There must be a greater respecting
of rights on both sides. The trades
unions must have a livelier sense of
their duty to the public and to the
employers. The executive officers of
the unions should be elected for their
fitness alone, and they should always
think of the consequences of their acts.
No general strike should be ordered
submitted to a vote of all the local
unions, and not less than two-thirds of
all the members should be required to
ratify the strike before it should be de-
clared.
On the other hand. the railroads and
other employing corporations may as
well recognize at once that their deal
ings must be with trades unions. which
will always. in some form or other,
control every highly organized bust.
ness enterprise employing large num-
bers of people. And they must recog-
nize the rights of the laboring man.
not the right which the laboring man
asserts of managing his en-
ployer's business, not the right the
man sometimes assumes OF
blocking and injuring his employers
business and keeping other men out of
work; but the right that the laboring |
man has of securing employment |
where he can without outside interior |
ence.
The blacklist is indefensible, but |
so is the coercion often en-
ployed by labor unions to keep nom
union men out of work. There is one |
principle that labor unions must re-
,ognize before they can hope to gain |
mat dignified status in law and in
public opinion that they should have
% be most effective. That principle |
s the one of the freedom of men to
work where they please, and the free
lom of employers to employ whom they
please. Over against this must be put
he increasing of the standard of eff
.iency within the unions SO that en-
,loyers will BE obliged to employ I'M
on labor in order to get competent
vorkmen. Then with reasonable
reatment of all questions that may
rise, and resort to the strike or lock-
tut only as a last resort-not as the
will come a better under
tanding between employers and
wage earners that will be greatly to
he gain of both.
