English view Of the Steel Strike.

The London Evening News, in an edi-
torial ON the United States steel strike,
sees in the strike nature OF revolution
against plutocracy The paper says:
"The contrast between great wealth
and sordid poverty is greater in America
than in England. This is accentuated
by the vuglar ostentation Of the Ameri-
can pultOcrats The relations between
employer and employee are very bitter.
The human factor has been eliminated.
The real issue in the present contest IL
the continued existence OF the labor or
carnations.
"The spirit in which J. j. Morgan
met the representatives of the workmen
showed that he wished to provoke fight
with the object of destroying the trades
unions Which ever side wins the ulti-
mate victory, the contest will prove dis
astrous to America.
"The fact that it may be to our com
merical profit is one we cannot consider
az we contemplate the possible results.

LABoRGENERALLYTHE SUFFERER

LABORGENERAILY THE SUFFERER
The Pierpont Morgan syndicate
and the steel strikers have failed OF
agreement as was confidently eN-
pected last week and now the strike
will become general throughout the
country. We are not familiar with
the merits of the trouble. nor does
any know Of the inside truth except
the steel magnates and the head
officers OF the labor organizations
Minor stockholders of the steel trust
and the hundred thousand workers
are almost rs ignorant OF the true
inwarlness of the trouble aS are out
siders They hear it only as trans
mitted to them from higher sources
on each side.
Labor has suffered much IN this
gigantic battle and capital but very
little. From the standpoint ofhuman-
ityit is to be deplored that the nego-
tiations should have fallen through.
Labor will suffer UNNECESSARILY, and
thousands of families of the strikers
will have to befed by those uniOnlstS
that are still at work throughout
various parts of the United states.
The mill operators will continue to
suffer but little. They can make
needed repairs and improvements
and the fact that the output OF steel
will largely cease will cause prices to
advance sufficiently to give the oper-
ators good returns for what they
have ON hand and for orders placed
which will take the output Tor many
months after work is resumed. 80
view it in any light we may the poor
laborer is the sufferer That he Will
have to eventually give III Is almost
foregone conclusion.
1t is a question that has long puz-
zled the brightest minds and it is yet
unsolved whether labor is benefited
or injured by the operation OF
unions. The walking delegate, who
orders a strike sometimes upon the
least provocation will have to be
repenerated before labor can ever
expect to net the highest resultsirom
organization. Given honest and true
men in the officialpositions theumor
mnst prove a beneiactor TO labor.
