The Strike.

The Strike.
A strike is on between organized
labor and the Steel Company, and
| it seems to involve the right of
labor to organize for its own pro-
teton President Shaffcr who
represents the men is confident
of success, while the officers of
the Steel Trust as yet show no
sign of weakening. Mr.. Shaffer
saws that the men will not resort
to force and that there will be no
destruction of property. AS long
as this promise is kept public
sympathy will be with the labor
ing men.
The right of labor to organize
ought not to be questioned, and
yet the growth of trusts is direct
ly opposed to the interests of the
laboring men, and, as every trust
IS a menace to the labor organlza-
tons, it is strange that any la or-
ing man votes with the trusts.
When the head of a great corpora
ton controls all the factories
which employ skilled labor in any
particular line he is very likely
to dictate terms. Capital does
not need food or clothing. If it
remains idle for month or year
its owner SIMPLY loses his income
for the period of its idleness, but
with the la boring man tits differ
ent. His hunger cannot be
suspended, his need for clothing
and shelter knows no cessation;
the children must be cared for,
and with all of the nation S boast
ed prosperity the average wage
Garner is not able to live long
without work. Heretofore, the
laborer has found his protection
in the fact that the employer
could not close down his factory
for a great length Of time with
out Toss of trade and loss of en-
ployees. In case of strike his
business was in danger of being
absorbed by other firms, and his
employees were apt to be scatter
ed. When, however, the mOnOp-
ly of an industry is complete the
employee cannot seek work of a
rival firm because there is no
rival firm and he cannot engage in
other business without losing the
advantage of his skill and exper-
fence. 1t is to be hoped that the
laboring men will win in the pres
ent conflict, but if they were as
unanimous on election day as they
are when strike is ordered they
could remedy their grievances
without strike or loss of employ
ment.
The steel trust may prove
blessing in disguise if it convinces
the wage-earnets of the country
that "a private monopoly is in
defensible and intolerablc. -

Progress OF the South.

No greater boon has ever come
to the agricultural interest of
the South than the development
OF its manufacturing industries
during the last fifteen years. As
the movement gains impetus the
farmers and landowners will
realize more and more fully the
benefits to be derived from the
widening Of their opportunities.
The South has so long been
classed as a purely agricultural
section that the change it is now
undergoing upsets accepted
traditions. That it shou d utilize
a large part of its cotton and lum-
Der and iron ore on the spot is an
evidence of the economic pro-
gress of the age.
What the South is doing and
what it aspires to do to constantly
increasing extent is to create
home markets for its raw pro-
ducts. There IS a point at which
agriculture must soon langulsh
when it is subjected to the bur
|dens of transportation. The in
evitable tendency is for the manu-
facturer to get as near as possible
to his points of supply. tits this
influence that of late years has
beer building upnew manufactur-
ing communities all over the rich
natural resources that have long
been allowed to lie neglected or
hidden. There is no good
economic reason why the South
should have waited SO long for its
cotton mills. 1t had the power
and the materials, but it was
satisfied to let trade follow the
beaten path and to ship its cotton
to New England and Great
Britain. Now that it has awaken
ed from its lethargy it proposes,
with the aid of capital and busl-
ness experience, to make the
most of the advantages that have
fallen to its part.
The staff correspondents OF
the North American have visited
many of the southern cities dur
ing the past month. They have
found that the one great need of
the south, in the minds OF its
leading business men and public
officials, is manufacturing estab-
lishments to work on native pro-
ducts. At Danville, Va, for eX-
ample, Mayor Woodlng says local
capital plentiful, but the business
men lack experience in manufact-
uring. What they desire, as he
points out, is some one to lead
the way to start and manage the
plants with cooperation of local
investors. They know their OPP
portunities, but are timid about
taking hold of them without out
side assistance and advice.
The springing up of manufact-
uring towns and cities through
out the South will stimulate every
branch of industry, 1t is not
merely question finding easier
and better sale of the few raw
materials that go into the making
of finished articles, but of en-
couraging greater diversity in
production. Immigration and
advancement in d material way
will constantly create new needs
that must be supplied and afford
new openings for profitable labor.

tall for his age; his long, thin face, his
sandy hair. his length Of limb and his
snare frame gave him lankiness OF

of the boys giving him the extraor-

name could be less appropriate, for
there was nothing inAuman or morose
or surly in his looks, and still less IN
his disposition; the temper Of bully
was utterly alien from him, and he was
