Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1901-04-19

PLENTY of Democrats are now engaged in
kindly inviting all the Populists to join the
Democratic party. Populists who are worth the
name don't care about ''joining" any party
now. When it shall appear that the Democratic
party is working for some policy of government
that Populists approve, they will be very glad
to aid Democrats in putting 1t into operation,
but unless they do, Populists have no more
reason to want to join the Democratic party
than they have to want to join the bufaloes. 1t
isn't the highest ambition of Populist to
tjoin" something, but to accomplish something
to improve human conditions Kansas Popuist.

THE MISTAKE STRIKERS MAKE.

As the business world is now dis
turbed by a disgruntled element, the
newspapers are discussing at length
the situation pro and con. The South
up to the present time has been free
from labor troubles, and it is pretty
generally conceded that if our work
men were left alone we would have no
strikes, which always engender hard
ships on the working man. Strikes are,
nine times out of ten, brought about
by foreign interference. Men bring
about strikes who most generally are
on the make, have all to gain and
nothing to lose They come into a
peaceful working community. SOW their
seeds of discord and are soon out and
gone. The Albany Herald sizes up the
situation we'll when it says;
cit seems to be almost impossible for
band of strikers to fight the battle
against capital in manner calculated
to win the sympathy of the public and
court ultimate success. The striker
does not seem to realize that whenever
he resorts to violence he destroys his
best hope of success, for he turns the
representatives of law and order, as
we'll as public sentiment, against him
"The proneness of strikers to resort to
violence and even bloodshed has been
especially noticeable during the past
few months, when trouble between
labor and capital has disturbed the
peace and quiet and commercial and
industrial progress of nearly every Sec
ton of the country. Mill operatives
and employees of railroads, shipyards
and mines have turned against then
employers, and the battle between labor
and capital has been a fierce one. Witt
but few exceptions that go to prove
the rule, the strikers have resorted tx
questionable tactics, seeking to destroy
property and often succeeding, and do
ing many things calculated to brine
their cause into disrepute and lesser
their chances of success.
''It is all right for laborers to strike
for higher wages or shorter hours, o.
because of any grievance which the!
honestly believe should be rlghted, bu
there is no excuse for resort to violen+
measures in the hope of attaining
success. It has come to pass that 1
band of strikers in this country will no
hesitate to attack laborers who hav,
been employed in their places by firm
or corporations with important con
tracts to fill; and the mob on mischie
bent which is met with cold lead from
sherlff's posse gets little sympathy, no
deserves it, The average strike doe
not succeed, and for no other reason
than that the strikers draw upon them
selves public condemnation and tn
hostility of every representative of Law
and order"
