ARCHBISHOP IRELANo's VIEWS
His Theory Regarding Strikes is Dis
puted by Michael Davitt.

CHICAGO. Aug. 17-''Public opin-
ion is the factor that must eventually
lead to the settlement of strike trou-
bles. The time will come when the
conviction of the mass of the intel
ligent American people will be such
, strong influence that the party in
the worng-whether capitalists or la
borers-will have to be governed by
it."
That is the way Archbishop Ire
land expressed himself when he was
asked how strikes might be averted
in the future.
Education also will be potent fac
tor in averting strike difficulties
The capitalist must be educated as to
the rights of the laborer and the la
borer must be educated as to the
rights of capital. Public opinion
the right kind of public opinion--will
see that both sides gets the education
II have no fault to find with strikes
so long as the strikers do not inter
fere with the rights of others. Any
man has the right to stop work when
he chooses, but he does not possess
the right to prevent someone else
from going to work. When such an
attempt is made to infringe upon the
rights of others the majesty of our law
is being set aside. AS loyal Amer
, Jeans we should demand that the en-
tire force of our government be at
once brought TO bear If necessary TO
protect the rights of single man
to sell his labor and skill to who ever
he wishes If trade unions would
stop at the point where they assume
the right to quit work no fault could
be found with them. 1t is only when
they attempt to stop others from work
Ing that there is reason to complain. !"
Michael Davitt agrees and dissen,s
! from Archbishop Ireland. He agrees
ideally, practically he disagrees. He
said at the Auditorium yesterday af.

Circus Engineering.

In Europe it is the custom to load
cannons and caissons over the side OF
the car. When one of the sovereigns
who visited an American circus In his
domains saw the runways placed at the
end of the cars, the block and tackle
fixed far ahead OF the runway, the rope
running through the block and attach
ell TO the heavy cages; when he saw
heavy rolls OF canvas and wagons be-
ing lifted from the ground and single
team OF horses drawing them speedily
to the cars and then all the length OF
the train, finally lowering them into the
cars. he expressed the utmost astonish-
-mcnt that his engineers had never
thought Of that before.-Collier's Week.

| also that the fact of unionism among
workingmen does limit and curtail
their personal liberty to an extent
II Is an ideal state, wherein personal
liberty should be the undiminisbe1
prerogative of every man. we would
have no unions among workingmen
nor combinations between employers
and combinations.
But condition and not theory
confronts us. The workingman finds
he has to deal with capitalistic comli-
nation. Especially is this true 4
America, where you have developed
or invented the trust or gigantic COM
bination. The purpose of the trust.
its reason for existence, is the sup
preston of competition. The trust
eXtinguishes its weaker rivals. That
is vast curtailment of personal do-
erty.
If the trust operates by suppress
ion, then the practical salvation of
the workingman lies in his associa-
ton in unions. His retention of full
personal liberty to hire out as he sees
fit would avail him little in the face
of a capitalistic combination which
dictates whom he must serve and at
what wages
Practically. then, in a society Gao
REALISTICALLY organized the theoreiic-
al objections to unions put forward
by Archbishop Ireland has no sound
basis. If capital has the right of
organization, so has labor. If cap
ital unites. SO must the wage earners.
