As to Fireworks and Accidents.

From the New York Times.
The relaxation of wise laws in regard

PROGRESS OF THE STRIKE.

DETECTION from the ranks of the strik-
ing mnchniSts was To be expected. There
are always some men who start well i'll
a good cause hut who fall out on the
march. Patriotic armies have stragglers
and desprtcrs, and churches have back
sliders. So il is with all human efforts
The detection, however, does not alter
the facts of the c,ise--does not make the
right, wrong: nor does it, in this case,
condemn the strikers or justify the two
firms who have refused to grant what the
strikers have demanded. The strike has
been success. OF the 10000 men who
struck for nine hours day. without loss
of pay. $4,000 OF them are at work having
gained what they struck for In tins
city nineteen firms have acceded to the
demand of the strikers, and the machin-
lists with the exception of those employed
by two firms. are ut work on the nine
hour system. I he list stands 10 firms
who have granted the mems requests
against two refused. So we count the
strine Il success. About the men who
have gone to work we have no criticism
10 make except to say we think they have
made il mistake. lilat they had right
to do what they did, is beyond dispute
but that does not make what they did II
enter into the circumstances ms they an
pealed to these men. Doubtless they
decided that the sacrifices demanded of
them by continuing with the strikers
We're too great to be borne; that the
general good was to them. not worth
what it was costing. We think they did
wrong. and that sometime they will
agree with MS in that matter. There
cannot possibly be the same confidence
and respect felt in and toward these
men that there was previous to their de-
fection. In the future when matters are
being discussed, looking to the benefits
of the men. these men will he left ont

ness induces and which is sure to be

of good cause. Having invited that
these men have doubtless concluded to
accept the consequences. Their detection
has not settled any Of the questions in
volvcd in the strike 1t has not proved
the strike to have been promoted for a
wrong purpose, nor Ms having been in
OPPORTUNITY projected. The general sue
cess of the strike d:sproves all that. The
men who hold ont are right. They rep
resent broad principle of righteousness.
They have the popular sympathy. They
have conducted themselves well. They
are submitting to sacrifices in a good
cause. They not only have the sympathy
of the people with them. but ought t.
have, ana we believe will have, the sup
port and Sustcnance of the public il
maintaining the strike. TO deserve sue
cess is to win it, and these strikers de
serve to succeed.
