SYMPATHETIC STRIKES OPPOSED.
Sympathetic strikes have many adher-

peals strongly to those who. being directly
involved In trouble, do not always recog.
nize the effect OF their action upon the
public mind, hut the past history OF the
labor movement teaches lessons that
should not be forgotten today.
"As far as my knowledge goes do not
know of one solitary sympathetic strike OF
any magnitude which has been successful.
on the contrary, the most conspicuous
among the sympathetic labor struggles hnye

judgment the United Mine Workers should
