Mr.. Skaters construction of the con-
tractual relations between the men and
their employees stamps him as man
worthy of his previous training. He adj
vises them TO violate the contracts I'M
der which they have been working and Of
which they have taken advantage-the
contracts for violation of which they
could and would have held their en-
ployers in damages before any court.
Yet these solemn legal obligations this
man shaffer advises the members of the
Amalgamated to repudiate, because the
plants have changed hands since they
were signed.
The last paragraph quoted above is
unique as an example of the code of
of ethics sought to be taught by this
new school of moralists Remember,
before you agreed to any contract you
took an obligation to the Amalgamated
association" If the obligation taken TO
the Amalgamated is of such binding
force that it will absolve all men who see
fit to make and break contracts at will,
the world ought to know it.
There has been a fight for years to
compel the employers to recognize the
unions And on the first blush, this de-
mand seems to be just. 1t would be just
if it were possible to establish among
unions the respect for contracts which is
demanded in ordinary life. But this has
not yet been done. The regard for per-
sonal and contractual rights is foreign
to the ordinary union. 1t is willing
to make agreements but is as ready to
violate them at the first opportunity.
Beng absolutely irresponsible, this can
be done with impunity, the only punish
ment being the loss of the respect and
confidence of the business world. The
struggle now on is for absolute control
of the iron and steel industry of the
country by an organization which
through its president openly repudiated
its contracts without Offering any ex-
cuse except. it's sovereign Will
We agree with shaffer that the per-
sonal liberties of the workmem depend
upon the outcome of this strike but not
in the way Indicated by him.

TIE GREET STRIKE is ON.

The expected has happened, and Shat
fer has called out the entire AmaIga
mated forces. The batteries are to be
opened Aug. 10, unless the besieged raise
the white flag and accept the terms of
unconditional surrender to the union.
How long a siege the United States Steel
corporation can stand, we do not know.
How long the besiegers can keep up the
fight is another question on which there
IS little accurate knowledge. That the

millions, we do know
The cause of the strike has become
SO familiar to the public that it is useless
to further discuss it. That Mr.. Shaffer
has no confidence in the position into
which he has forced the Amalgamated
association is manifest by the fact that
he completely ignores the cause of the
strike in his manifesto 10 his brothers
in arms
Whenever a lawyer has no case he
abuses the opposing counsel; when poi
itician has no principle to support. he

The Amalgarnated strike may do some
good. From the outward signs it is evil
dent that d number of plants will be shut
down permanently and others started up
in districts where the strike infection is
less pronounced and the public opinion
is sufficiently strong to protect ordinary
investments. Communities like McKees-
port which will sustain a mayor who
openly declares that he will arrest any
man who comes to the town to take the
place of a striker, do not deserve the adj
vantage of large industrial institutions.
We notice a report that the iron in
dustries at West Superior. which have
been Idle for number of years, are
about to start up as a result of the de-
mand for culvert pipe, which demand
was caused possibly by the present hang
up. Minnesota has few iron plants

TILLMAN Us. M,LAURIN.

As a matter of political right or au-
| thority, the executive committee of the
state committee of the Democratic party
of South Carolina had as much to JUS
tify it's reading of Senator McLaurin out
OF the party as they would have had
had they assumed to dictate absolutely
who should be chosen to fill vacancy
in the position of United States senator.
1t was an assumption of authority with
out the slightest warrant in law or usage;
and it was, moreover, a blow inflicted be-
low the belt in what Senator Tillman
wishes to have regarded as a contest
conducted on the rules of honorable po
litical conflict
Senator McLaurin's declaration, which
has just been published, is, in the present
state of the contest between him and
Tillman, fully justified in its most severe
reflections on the committee; and except
for some pardonable intemperance in his
references to Tinman, is commendabIe in
every respect
The light between these two officials is
one which goes to the root of the di-
vision in party sentiment. While the rep
utation of Senator Tillman among those
who are brought in personal contact with
him in Washington is that of a most
amiable and altogether charming man,
the character which he chooses to as
sumo in political life is beyond ques-
ton that of a bully, as Mr.. McLaurin
suggests, and runs pretty close to the
border line of indecency, which McLau-
rim says it oversteps.
The o b is altogether unwilling to
stand for much of Senator Nc
Laurin's attitude toward the present Re
publican national administration We
have seen other Southern Republicans
before today chosen to office and invest
ed with political significance by Demo-
cratic suffrages and support who under
took to, play fast ana loose with their
own political associates; but we have
never seen any man, either North or
South, ever carry any such policy to a
successful issue. If a man is holding
public station through the action of a
given political party, if he is unwilling
to act in accordance with the wishes
and policies of that party he should
have the manliness to resign; and if he
has not it is fitting tnat the operation
should be performed on him which the
executive committee of the party under
took without right to perform on Nc,
Laurin-that of kicking him out of both
Office and party.
No means of settling this issue will be
either honest or effective. which does not
remit the question involved to the people
of the state to be passed upon directly by
them. The politicians will be found. no
doubt, arrayed against McLaurin as
probably the weaker one of the two com
batants. But the two men represent the
opposite poles of public conduct within
the party; and the people of the state
viii no doubt fully appreciate the truth
that in settling the controversy between
them they put the seal of approval ir-
revocaby, for the present at least, on
one or other of the two existing divisions
of sentiment within the party, not only
in South Carolina, but elsewhere
throughout the country

LAHLER'S EFFECYIT,E ACTION.

Il
Thanks to the initiative of Police Com
missioner Lawler, there is reasonable
prospect in view of the abatement Of
what has become at once a public nuls-
ence and a menace to the safety of the
community and its people. Mr. LAWYERS
method of dealing with this problem of
overhead wires, so different from the
nerveless system which has been pursued
by ether city officials in the past, is
certain to result in settlement of the
difficulty
The Clio e has never favored any
radical interference by city authority
with those corporations authorized to
string wires necessary to the conduct of
their business. But as MI LAWYERS ex-
animation of the subject shows so clear
~, the practice of establishing such
wires has for years prevailed without
either public authorization or public ne
cessity. All of such wires must come
down at once. 1t does not much matter
more than it does who the officials are on
whom the responsibility rests for their
former maintenance. The end which Mr..
LAWYER has in mind is that every corpora
ton which has numbered the thorough
fares of the city with it's wires, without
express municipal authority, or which
maintains its wires against existing mu-
nicipal regulation, must be made to suf-
fer the consequences of its Illegal att
tude
1t is now universally agreed that cor
porations which find the use of wires on
the public streets necessary for the
transaction of their business must be-
fore long make permanent arrangements
for the burying of such wires. This is
beyond all dispute in communities like
st. Paul where the business of sucn cor
porations has reached such proportions
that no great financial hardship is i'm,
posed on them by the regulation. Public
safety as well as responsible business
methods, make that course indispensable
within the business districts No city
administration is deserving of the pub
lie confidence or can be said to be really
watchful of the public welfare which will
continue to allow the prevailing system
with regard to those wires to be MAIN
tanned
1t IS absurd to endeavor to try to give
a partisan political color to this matter,
as the Pioneer Press and the city COM
missioner OF public works evidently
wish to do. The truth of the matter is
That Commissioner LAWYER has called at
tention to a serious public grievance and
wrong, and the body OF which he is a
member proposes to put an end to the
grievance of its own action just as quick,
ly as it is advised of the exact legal
status of things.
Commissioner Lawler viii have entitled
himself and his department to positive
public Communication if he is able to en-
force on the part of the wire stringmg
corporations some substantial respect for
city regulations involving public safety
