THE STRIKES and disorders incident
thereto, the descriptions of which take
up at present considerable space 10 the
columns OF the newspapers, picture
condition OF affairs In come cities TO Do
deplored, to say the least. We are
not posing as arbitrators In tne
labor disputes, nor do we know that
We can suggest anything to SILL
the angry seas when they are once
set in motion. But We do believe much
can be done 10 the way OF preventing
the formation Of such tempests which
try the patience of long-suferiDg COM
muuities who are always the sufferers
In ninety.nlne cases out OF every nun
dred the working man is the loser III
these conflicts. He is invariably egged
on to radical procedures by idle people
whose mission in life Is to make those
who toll and spin dissatisfied with their
lot. That In many cases operatives
have cause for resentment none will de-
ny, but 1t is equally true that many Ia
Dor troubles are precipitated by trihing
circumstances. One Of the most pro-
trscted strikes and one that caused
the destruction of millions OF dollars
worth OF property and the loss OF ss
much more in wages grew out OF the
discharge OF an officious carpenter by
the foreman Of one of the shops of the
the Missouri Pacific Railroad. All the
other employees quit work in sympathy,
or were made to strike by walking DELE
gates. We are forbidden by holy writ
to follow q multitude to do evil, and ell
who do 30 will sooner or later reap
what they SOW. The man who preach
ed the strike and who kept it on for
weeks when last heard OF was peddling
lemons In western city. he was then
old, friendlsss and 10 poverty-as I'M.
popular among those he one time domi-
neered as be was calculated to be with
those whose property he had caused to
be destroyed. There had been some
bloodshed and an untold quantity OF
bad blood engendered by this contest.
The terrible pictures incident to the st.
Louis strest-csr strike have just faded
when the city of Albany Ia convulsed
by similar scenes, and passengers are
compelled to be conveyed BY soldiers
while riding through large and popn'
Ious city OF the United States In the
twentieth century. Bloodshed has re-
suited and more trouble seems immi'
nent. There is probability OF about
10000 New York mechanics going on
strike because some Of their number
were not paid for two weeks they laid
eff while on strike agsinst some nom
union men they found working with
them and one hundred thousand ma
chinists in the country will have struck
by the time this article Ia read. Surely
something should be done to obviate
such procedures on the part OF other
wise sensible men.
