SELFISH AGITATORs

II Is to be deplCred that the strike
so long continued is not within sight
Of adjustment The questions involved
are not understood by the average per-
son, and even tho PARTIES to the con
troversy regard the matter from the
bias of their own interests. There are
persons who, in crises of this kind, are
only too happy no in.ermeddle they
strut and pose as the friend OF tie
wcrkingman, but succeed in nothing
but intensifying the bitterness and the
dissatisfaction which have caused the
difficulty and which prevent adjust
ment.
We have ceuthin journals which pose
as friends ~ labor, and because a few
wcrlingmen read their papers to see
what sensationalism is possible, they
fondly imagine that they are leaders
OF public opinion and friends OF labor.
The workingmen are not foois. and
they will shrewdly estimate such blath-
erings at their true worth. The truth
is there is a dispute between certain
employers and their men in this city.
No one can settle that dispute save the
parties at interest. OF their chosen rep
1esentatives. For an outside party to
obtrude himself or itself into the con
tnovery is disadvaniageons to all
parties concerned. II will intensity the

compelled to pursue a curriculum de-

other branches almost without number
have been added, and the increase of
electives, has made the higher inslitu-

We may be sure that the great con-
tributors to the suppont of these insti-

in advancing all OF the sciences which

pride In adding TO their equipment. 1t
