Give Labor's Cause a setback.

The great strike of street railway
employees in Cleveland. Ohio, has de-
veloped the greatest and most far
reaching boycott ever put to work In
this country. 1t affects not only those
in the city who ordinarily patronize
the cars OF the Big Consolidated Com
pany, but extends to all classes of per-
sons in the city and in many other
towns. The situation H. such that mer-
chants will not sell goods to any mem
ber of the family of any one who rides
ON the tabooed cars, people will not
buy from a house II any one near or
remotely connected with il as owner or
employe rides on Consolidated cars,
and men refuse. for the same reason,
to perform any service whatever for
those who defy the boycott or any of
its many requirements. The business
and social life OF great city has been
disjointed to an extraordinary degree,
and for the time being many OF the
ordinary affairs OF life cannot be trans
acted unless those concerned are pro-
nounced 20. X" by the men who are
at the head of the strike and boycott
movement. How long this will last
cannot be foretold with accuracy. But
IL is certain not to last long. Some
thing will have to give The strikers
and their sympathizers see great vic
tory ahead and are confident that the
community will insist that the com
pany make terms agreeable to them.
Others see in this extraordinary rule
OF the few over the many a situation
that can end but one way-in the dis
comfiture of those who have created
the state OF affairs that exists today
I 40 not think that the final outcome
can be other than prejudicial to the in
terests of organized labor in many
ways. The original merits of the case
whatever they are, have been over
shadowed in great degree by acts or
violence, the responsibility for which
is differently placed by the different
parties to the controversy, but which,
unless history does not repeat itself,
will ultimately have to be borne by the
strikers. So well Is this fact known
that few years ago Mr.. John Nc
Bride, then president of the United
Mine Workers of America. who were
engaged In strike that extended over
five of six states, officially proclaimed
that he would call off the strike when
ever there was serious clash Subj
sequently he did abruptly bring the
strike to an end. and in justification
for having accepted terms in many
parts disappointing. urged that IL he
had not ended matters strife would
have ensued. which would have worked
incalculable harm to the cause of the
miner in particular and labor in gen.
eral. Mr.. Mcbride knew what he was
talking about and while his act was
criticised at the time, its wisdom was
soon thereafter acknowledged. These
things being so, whether or not 1t is
right that they should be, there can be
little doubt that the effects of the Cleve-
land strike and boycott will cause
much trouble for organized labor in
the future.
