THE sANcTrrY OF CONTRACTS.

No stronger argument has been made
against a general strike OF coal miners
than the statement by G. D. Wood, Of Ken
lucky. in yesterdays Journal. Mr. Wood
is a member Of the national executive
board of the United Mine Workers. and. of
course. speaks In the interest of the craft.
His statement was an earnest plea for
the sacredness of contracts. This point
has not received the attention in all quar-
tiers that its Importance deserves, though
it is but fair to say that a great many
miners, probably majority Of those who
will attend the convention to-day, recognize
IL. Mr.. Wood embodied in his statement
a letter which he had addressed TO Presi-
dent Mitchell. calling attention to the reso-
buttons adopted by the conference Of coal
operators and miners held in this city in
February last The resolutions were a
strong declaration in favor of observing
contracts. The February conference con-
sisted OF coal operators and miners from
Indiana, Illinois. Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The main point of discussion was a new
scale of wages but incidental to this Mr..
Justi. representing the coal operators of
Illinois, offered series of resolutions dep
recating strikes, recommending trade agree
ments for specified periods of time, and
declaring that we recognize the sacred
ness and binding nature of contracts and
agreements thus entered into and are
pledged in honor to keep inviolate such
contracts and agreements" Another reso
luton declared that "such contracts or
agreements having been entered into, we
consider ourselves severally and collective
ly bound in honor to carry them out in good
faith in letter and spirit" When they
were first introduced the resolutions were
sidetracked by being referred to the scale
| committee. That committee tabled them,
but subsequently the conference recalled
and passed them, thus giving them a spe-
cial Endorsement. Mr.. Wood makes the
point. and it is clearly a good one, that
these resolutions committed the miners of
the States above named to the faithful
observance of contracts, and that to repu-
date their contracts and the resolutions
/ Of February at the same time would be a
conspicuously dishonorable act and "a
breach Of faith so great as to amount to
a crime" He expressed the opinion that so
gross a breach of faith by miners under
contract would forfeit the confidence of the
| operators and the respect of the public,
and probably cause the disruption of the
union. 1t is understood that the entire
Kentucky delegation in to-day's convention
will take this view. and it is difficult to
see how any honest man can take a differ
ent one. Labor unions that enter into con-
tracts should be all the more careful to
observe them because they cannot be sued
/ for violation of them.

Smith guilty, on his own admission. of

"admonished" by the reviewing authority.
The President has accordingly administered
the admonition and issued an order for his
retirement under the law which provides
that officers having reached the age of
sixty-two may be retired at will by the
President The supplemental explanation by
Secretary Root shows that the famous order
did not add materially to the ordinary hor-

The strike in Chicago is off. The freight
handlers have returned TO their old places
at practically the same compensation they
were receiving when their hot-headed lead
er ordered them to quit without giving no.
tice The whole difficulty-the loss of ten
days wages to the men and OF millions in
the aggregate 10 the business and industry
of the country about Chicago. as we'll as to
the railroads-seems TO be due to the de-
sire of a person clothed with little brief
authority to play the part of dictator.
Without counting the chances of success
or of defeat he called a strike, without
consulting the men belonging TO his union.
His men reluctantly followed against their
better judgments. The end has been HUI
initiation to him, because his men came to
distrust and then to forsake him But for
the recently organized teamsters, who
broke away from the officers OF their
unions and at the same time violated
contract not a month old, the freight han
dlers' strike would have been ended after
the first day, but the teamsters were full
of the desire to strike. and so IL continued
until public opinion made itself felt. If the
leaders had made themselves familiar with
the words of President Gompers they would
NOT have struck until every other effort to
obtain what they believed 10 be justice had
failed. Unfortunately there is a class Of
unions in the larger cities which seem TO
be organized for no other purpose than to
strike and create confusion The older
unions, made up Of more intelligent men,
look upon the strike as a choice OF evils
Such experiences as that at Chicago ought
to teach even the dullest of men that the
strike is the last resort instead OF being
the main purpose of organization.

The anti-Bryan managers are making
rapid progress in this State and Illinois to-
ward getting the party organization on
basis of hostility to the Kansas City plat
form. In this State the platform was ig-
nored by the state convention. and all of
the congressional district conventions are
forgetting that the last national declaration
of the party was made in Kansas City in
1900. In the Eleventh district a man has
been nominated for Congress who was a
somewhat pronounced gold Democrat in
1896 This, however. is consistent action,
since it is the logical thing. in the departure
from Organism, to take a man as leader
who never was in the Bryan camp. or. If
there, only for a brief period To make
such men candidates is a practical confess
sion of error. 1t is an open admission Of
the Bryanites to the gold Democrats that
they were right in voting for Palmer or Nc
Kinley in 1896.
In Illinois the hostility of the present
leaders of the Democratic party to Mr..
Bryan and his platforms is more marked.
The chairman of the present Democratic
Bryan in 1896, while ex-Representative
Gable, who is looked upon as the great man
in the coming campaign in Illinois, was
openly against his party in 1896. Two years
ago, when looking for speakers for the
campaign both in Indiana and Illinois, the
Democratic managers turned to the eager
orators of the West. Mr.. Bryan was
sought everywhere, and Mr.. 'Cowne, of
Minnesota, and Champ Clark were sought
as the leaders bearing the message of true
Democracy to the people. Now the leaders
of the two States turn TO the East Illinois
has already announced that David B. Hill
will be invited-David B. Hill, 1.-The still,
the very still. Democrat of 1896. and ex-
Secretary Olney, who did not vote in 1896,
and who, as Mr.. Cleveland's attorney gem
eral, devised the plan by which the Debs
railroad strike was put down in Chicago
thus mourning the deadly hatred of the
late Governor Altgeld, who was in sympa-
thy with the mob. Mr.. Oney was the at
torney general who had the strikers en-
joined at that time, thus setting up govern
ment by injunction. Chairman Hopkins has
not yet announced the invitation of Mr..
Cleveland, but the inviting of Mr. Olney is
the same thing.
Such progress has been made in the
march toward the Eastern Democratic
leaders in this State that the announcement

speeches in Indiana would cause general
dismay. while the coming of David B. Hill.

the coming of Mr.. Bryan did in 1895 and in
1900. But is the rank and file. the thou

who were induced to purchase the preferred
stock are losers at the rate of so a
share. 1t has been found impossible TO put
up the price of cans so that dividends can
be paid on the excessive capitalization.
Should the price be put up to make divi-
dends there would be so large a profit that
plants built on a cash basis could make
money, while the inflated combination
could not. Thus the combination made by
promoters is often a losing investment.
