The "bread money" bill in the

A Strike for Power.

From the New York Tribune.
Ther~is no dispute as 10 the immediate cause
Of the strike II is not matter Of wages Nor

question is merely whether or not the steel com.

hitherto been union, though union men we're not
barred from them and union rates OF wages were
paid Under such circumstances unionizatior
would simply mean that the steel companies

less Of their desire, to join the association This
the manufacturers would not agree TO, and in
justice could not agree to. 1t would have been
an act Of tyranny on their part quite as indefen-
sbe an absolute refusal to let those Of their
employees who wished join the union. They treat.
cd their employees as free men, recognized the
labor organization fully, allowed il to dominate
most Of the mills, and only insisted that they
would not themselves become instruments OF co.
ercion in the hands Of the association 10 force
the minority who preferred to be free workers
into the organization or out OF the steel business
The only excuse which the union gives for this
seemingly unreasonable and un.Amcrican demand
is the charge that the manufacturers give these
free mills preference in the distribution Of work
and al slack times force the men in the union
mills TO idlenesS. This is denied by the COM
panies Even If the charge is true, in the pres.
cnt and Immediately prospective state Of the steel

The South and the Chinese.

q T THIS TIME. when the
~ American Chinese are MAX
Il ~ ing A concerted movement
to petition congress next
winter not to extend the provisions of
the Ceary Chinese exclusion act, and
the Far West is beginning to urge
that very extension, there comes a
Southern voice that will gladden. the
Chinese and anger the Pacific coast
states and those lying on the Sierra
slopes.
1t is the Mobile, Alabama, Register
which makes editorial declaration;
What we need in the South is a mil
lion active Chinese to work the negro
population into activity. There is
work enough for them and the negroes,
too. We ought 10 have them; yet here
is this internal un-American Chinese
exclusion law in the way. barring us
from the very labor we most need, and
condemning us to put up with incom-
retents, who know we cannot get
along without them, and take ad-
vantage of their knowledge"
The Geary exclusion law expires by
limitation next May. The treaty with
China negotiated in 1850 says: The
government of China agrees that the
government of the United States may
regulate, limit or suspend such COM
ing or residence (of the Chinese into
this country but may not absolutely
prohi ~ it, The Geary law did "regu-
late sand limit" it, in accordance
with tshe demand of California and
other Oar western states. THE law was
passe1 only after prolonged legislative
battleS The prospects at present are
for Such a battle, more stubbornIy
fought next winter. There was gem
eral unbellef, when the Chinese lead
ers engaged in organizing the prelim-
mary hight declared, few weeks ago,
that they would be able to secure a
great number of American signatures
to their petitions. The Mobile Registers
declaration will bring utter amaze
ment 90 the far west, and probably
great mdignation.
1t at just this time that China
puts % her claim for indemnity for
what pave been aptly termed by some
OF our contemporaries the White
Boxer .outrages" against the Chinese at
Butte, .Montana, lin 1856. For the in
formation of\many readers we take
a condsnsed account Of the basis OF
THE Indemnity demand from a brief
resume made by the Chicago Herald.
1t says: ut is alleged that several OF
Minister Wu's countrymen were killed,
that others lost their property, that
many were completely ruined and driv-
en- away. and there is no doubt that
the allegation can be proved. 1t was
time when white mobs were allowed
to do as they pleased with Chinese.

Bad Judgment or Worse.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The official announcement by the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron, steel and Tin Workers, when
issued, may possibly add 10 the public informa.
tion Of the causes which led up to the strike; but
so much has been said that apparently there can
be little to add The right of skilled non.union
lahorers to work seems 10 BE- the sole point al
issue. The owners Of the steel plants involved
were simply commanded TO "unonize" their es.
adjustments or take the coi,' IUcncos. No trust
has ever ossayod to do Arythrg more arbitrar
than is this undertaking Of The Labor Trust. II
has put itself in the attitude ot an enemy 10 all
labor but union labor, and has compelled the
Steel Trust TO assume an impregnibe position as
the defender Of one Of the inalienable rights
II seems hardly credible that there is not some
stock iobhing basis behind this movement of the
Amagdmsted association. Should the strike
spread it would prove ruiDous TO thousands upon
thousands OF lnrccent persons by reason Of that
comprehensive ndrection which makes all busi.
ness interdependent The stoppage would bring
on scarcityi scarcity would send up prices; high.
