STRIKES IN AMERICA.

( CARROLL D. WRIGHT. United
States commissioner of labor, COW
ers the strike question very thoroughly
in an article he contributes to the
North American Review for June. Mr..
Wright makes one statement that is
calculated to refute one assertion often
made by capitalists and those who de-
sire to side with capitalists whether
right or wrong. This is that only fools
strike. Mr.. Wright takes exactly the
opposite view. He says:
1T is recognized now that labor con
ficts grow out of. increasing intelli-
gence. The avoidance or adjustment of
such conflicts must be the result of
increased intelligence. Fools do not
strike; it is only men who have in
telHgence enough to recognize their
condition that make use of this last
resort. With increased intelligence they
viii look back upon the strike period
as one Of development; and when they
shall have accommodated themselves
to the new conditions, and when en-
ployers shall have recognized the in
creased intelligence of their employees,
these matters will be handled in such
a way as to prevent in the future a
repetition Of incidents like those which
are chronicled in the statistical his
tory Of the strikes of the last twenty
years.
In his article, Mr.. Wright reviews the
history Of strikes in this country since
that method Of settling disputes be-
tween employers and employees was
first adopted, The original American
strike occurred, he says, in 174O or
17h. when the journeyman bakers Of
New York declined to bake any more
bread until they were granted an in
crease Of wages. From that time on,
the strike method has been resorted
to, but it is only within the last TWEEN
ty-two years that it has become fire.
quent.
Mr.. Wrights statistics show that
from 1880 to 1900 there were $4,000
strikes of greater or less Importance
in the United States. They lasted an
average Of about twenty -four days, and
/ involved more than 5000 600 employees.
4 OF the total number, 81 per cent were
successful in every respect, 10 per cent
succeeded partly and IS per cent failed
/ absolutely The strikes caused a loss
Of $25S.0OO. 900 i'm wages to the workers
and about 1928, 100000 to the employers.
Most of the strikes were the result of
demands for better wages or shorter
hours or both. but the percentage Of
sympathetic" strikes was consider
able.
Illinois. Massachusetts. New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania furnished 74.7S
per cent of all the strikes. one reason
therefor being found in the fact that
this group Of states contained 1892 per
cent of the manufacturing establish
ments and employed 55f5 per cent of
the capital invested in the mechanical
industries of the United states. Mr..
Wright. in common with the large ma
iority of fair-minded men, is strongly
in favor OF arbitration.

Az ovERHEARD CONVERSATION

To The Salt Lake Herald:
Would it be presuming TO much to
ask you to have inserted the following
little incident to which I was an in
terested but involuntary eavesdropper,
and. humiliadng TO relate. met the
usual fate of such, /. e., that of hearing
nothing good of oneself. The dialogue
that occurred was nearly exactly as
follows: The scene. a motor car plying
between the fort and town: the time
SIS p. m. Sunday, June Is, and the
participants. a lady CD passenger. who
got on at the fort, and the conductor:
Lady-Well, I seen the soldiers. I
don think much of 'em.
ConductOr-No. ] wouldn't be seen

thing I would do.
LADY, don't know why, but I real
ly detest soldiers.
Conductor don't see what use they
are. anyhow.
Now. what I would like is TO impress
the fact on the mind of this conductor
that low. indeed, is the American sol
der who does not feel proud and hon
ored by being permitted to wear the
uniform of his country. under the Tag
that signifies more than all the symbols
OF othes nations combined. and for the

MURDERoUs ASSAULT
Charge Upon Which Joshua Hardy IS
Held bv Police

Joshua Hardy, colored bootblack. twen-
ty-hve years old, is locked I'D at the ninth
precinct station on a charge of assault with
dangerous weapon. 1t Is alleged that he
cut and seriously wounded Edward Wa
lace' also colored. at the house of Rolly
Fortune. in Wylie court northeast Hardy
was not taken to the Police Court this
morning, as the officers were told that his
victim would probably die. His condition
improved during the day, however, and the
doctors at the Washington Asylum Hospi-
tai now express the belief that he will re-
cover.
The trouble between the men is alleged to
have been caused by jealousy on the part
of Wallace. who has been separated from
his wife for about three years. Mrs Wal
lace occupies room In Fortunes house,
and last evening her husband met her
walking with Hardy. He advised Hardy to
keep away from Mrs Wallace and Hardy
denied that he had been keeping her COM
pany. About 1890 o'clock last night Wal
lace went to the house in Wylie court and
found Hardy and Mrs. Wallace together

there to protect the woman. He admits
having struck Wallace, but denies that he
used weapon on him.

had occurred. Policemen ODonnelI, Bobo

Failure Of Strike Settlement
Weakened Stocks.
HIGH RATE FOR MONEY
ALSO A FACTOR IN PREVENTING
SPECULATION.
Closing Prices Were From / to III
Points Below Close Of
Yesterday.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. October 1Q-The unauthor-
lied coal conference Of yesterday and its
failure to attract serious consideration on
the part of the operators served to chill
speculation in today's market A second
conference in which Mr. Morgan figured
this morning was thought to have better
prospects for successful results. but this
meeting adjourned until Tuesday without
reaching a definite conclusion
NOW that M. Morgan has been consid-
cred there Is growing sentiment in favor
OF early results. The coal strike Is the
most talked-of element in the present mar
ket. but the money situation Is the real
difficulty in the way of higher prices. Call
rates carrying over until Monday ruled at
10 and IL during the active borrowing
period, and one loan for sixty days at ~
per cent was reported
The banks continue to gain from sub
treasury operations and report a total gain
since last Friday Of 81 ,4OS, 900. There is
nothing In this trend of money upon which
to base an active speculation and the
money rate will remain to be reckoned
with long after coal mining is resumed.
There are numerous operators interested in
a settlement of the coal strike, because
they have stocks for sale on the good news.
There are commission houses of expert
ence and discretion who are advising clients
to be long of money rather than of stocks
and be prepared to re-enter the market
upon the lower plane, which will follow
from the effects of the clearing
house banks to remedy the mistakes they
made in fostering an unwieldy loan account
during the expansion period. The delay in
forcing an immediate adjustment of the
banking situation Is due to the almost
unanimous belief that higher prices will be
made before any general selling movement
Is inaugurated by the larger interests.
The coal stocks opened at declines, but
were well supported in view of the mis-
leading strike prospects of yesterday.
The threat to annul the coal company
charters unless the exgencies of the state
in New York and Pennsylvania
were regarded detracted only a fraction
from recent prices Union Pacific and Atchi-
son were lower under mixed selling and the
falling off in commission house business
Canadian Pacific ST. Paul and Pennsylva-
MIA declined under moderate dealings and
there was tendency toward liquidation in
several inactive issues.
The industrial list was heavy, although
the buying of Colorado Fuel was called
good, and was credited to the Osgood fac
ton on the theory that the Gates party
needed it's resources in other parts of the
market.
Closing prices were generally from "a TO
! per cent under the final prices of yester-
day., and the volume of business was
smaller.
