CAN'T SERVE TWO MASTERS.
Trades Unionism Considered Disloyal
by the Australian Government.

In view OF the complete victory OF
the government over the strikers. the
following from the Railway Age on
the Australian situation Is of interest:
Government railway ownership is
again shown 10 be no panacea against
labor troubles by the strike of loco
motive engineers in the Australian
state OF Victoria. As in Holland, where
the recent strike proved a failure the
government takes the stand that the
employees OF state railways are public
servants and must not he subject to
any authority which may require them
to be disloyal. The Victorian engin-
GERS having AFFILIATED themselves with
the trades hall. the center of trades
unionism In the colony. the govern.
ment notified them TO withdraw. FOR
the reason that In case OF strike In
other trades the affiliated railway men
would be obliged to strike in sym.
patty. The government does not ap'
pear TO have objected to the existing
association OF railway engineers, and
the men seem to have had no com
plant as to wages or other conditions,
but they struck on May rather than
relinQuish their alliance with trades
unionism generally. The railway sys-

eminent. represents over 5000 miles

of workmen besides the railway men

public sympathy from the strikers, and
some acts OF violence. such as the de.
railing OF locomotives, are naturally
weakening the movement. The pre-
