THE STRIKE AND THE STOCKS.

New York Evening Post, July 10th.
II was characteristic OF Wall street,
in its present mood, that Mr. Morgan's
repudiation, yesterday, of the sumors
of compromise in the steol strike should
have upset the market. That his state
nent had this effect, resulted naturally
from the indulgence of the Stock Ex-
change in the luxury OF foolish dreams,
Any shareholder fearful Of the effect Of
strikes on the steel trades future for
tunes would have been wise, if the
company's managers, had surrender ed,
in selling his stock at once. By virtue
Of such surrender, Mr.. Shaffer, rather
than Mr. Schwab, would hencefoith
have been the manager OF the Steel
Trusts labor outlay. The bitterest
enemy OF the steel combination must
ccncede that the company Is today
fighting the battle for organized in.
dustry in the future. The labor leaders
frankly ayow the purpose, little enough
disguised In Mitchell's strike of year
ago. of forcing suoh recognition OF the
unions supreme position on the labor
sids. as shall hereafter make non
unionist impossible. The proposal of
Shaffer's ultimatum Is to use the en-
ployer himself as means Of suppress
ing Independent labor. The whole
undertaking terds to state of things
in which labor union, extensive as
the industry which it deals with, shall
be able, first, to withdraw peremptorily
every workman employed in given
trade, and then to prevent the trade
| from replacing them. The result would

power Of stopping at its will, for as
long a period as It chose, production
and distribution Of the necessities of
life. Control OF such necessities by
capital is restrained by law; the labor
union proposes for itself unrestrained
| control.
The refusal Of the Steel Trust
managers to compromise is the surest
quietus to this monstrous undertaking
Tho outcome OF labor disputes Is always
doubtful. But probably yesterday q
fiat announcement means the early COL
lapse Of the whole demonstration. The
industry may be- cramped awhile, and
some materials in the steel trade go to
excessive prices. But rioting is i'm
probable. The Homestead strike oil
1892 was fight against lower wages
the strikers Of 1901 have Just had their
wages raised. The tactical plumbers oil
the managers OF nine years ago will
hardly be repeated. With 250 mills shut
down on July LIST, and 10000 en-.
FILTERED laborers out OF work, the
Carnegie company, only six days later
and In broad daylight, marched regi-
ment OF Pinkertous down TO this mills
to make way for the arriving non
unionists. Mr.. Schwab will hardly
throw down the gauntlet with such
recklessness today, any more than the
strikers will seize possession Of tn,
mills. Both sides learned something
from the bloody episode of 1892. VIVA
