struck because some of the men
who carried bricks and mortar to
them did not belong to a union.
The contractors stood out. and in
consequence every bricklayer in the
city was ordered to quit work.
This is what is called a sympathetic
strike, and the object is to so tie up
work throughout the whole city
that the public will come to the
rescue of the strikers. The drug
gist who had granted every demand
of the workmen engaged on his job,
and who was the most valuable
friend organized labor had in the
whole city, was abandoned like
every one else. and for two long
weeks. which period included state
fair week, his store was in state
of chaos and the walk outside was
an intolerable eyesore. He was in
no way responsible for the trouble
at the postoffice building but he was
treated as though he had been the
aggressor. The sympathetic strike
is malodorous disease which vii

.lish the sight of banners bearing
offensive sentiments carried in a
parade which is largely the result
of public generosity and good will.
The public grants the right OF
laborers to organize. They have all
the rights in that respect that
capital has. They also have an un-
| questioned right to strike. But if
some one outside of the union wants
to work on the jobs which the
strikers have left the latter have no
right to interfere. Until labor
unions come around to this way of
thinking they will be without
great amount of public sympathy
which would otherwise be with
them.
HOW these annoyances between
capital and labor, and in which the
public is always a sufferer, are
going to end is question that is
talked about in business Offices, on
the lecture platform and in the pull
pit. We also read page after page
OF theories and prophecies in the
newspapers and magazines. While
writer's disagree on the result they
all agree that things can not remain
as they are. Public sentiment is
toe safety-valve, the governor, in
all matters in which the public is
interested, and public sentiment
may be relied upon to settle the
difficulties in the labor world.
| While not exactly apropos, it
might not be out of place to give in
this connection an instance which
happened, or is now in the midst of
happening, in Minneapolis, which
will show what an unmitigated out
rage is involved in a so-called
Sympathetic strike On promi-
nent business corner is a druggist
who was once a mechanic, and
while he worked at his trade was a
member of labor union. While he
has prospered as druggist he has
never lost his interest in people
who labor with their hands, or in
the organizations to which they
belong. He has rendered valuable
assistance, financial and otherwise,
to the labor organizations of the
city, and it has always been under
stood that any respectable laborine
, man in pinch for money could &C
. to this druggist and by showing q
union card get accommodated.

A short time ago the druggist
concluded to tear the old front out
of his building and put in a larger

: his men-all union men-and agreed
! to pay the regular scale Of wages.
: Every demand of the workmen was
readily granted and the work be-
+ gan. A temporary front or parti
, ton had to be set up inside the
one being torn down and this drove
the druggist into smaller quarters:
, cramping him for room and causing
great confusion. 1t was almost i'm

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.I
Sept. 9TH was Labor Day, and the
occasion was observed in the cities
by the usual parade of the different
labor organizations, with bands of
music, banners, orators, etc. The
paradeS are always formidable so
far as numbers and enthusiasm are
concerned, and all classes of people
unite in their efforts to make the
laboring mems holiday a grand
success. There were some Incl
dents in the recent parade which
were noticible as straws of the kind
which shows which way the wind
is blowing.
To begin with there is in the
breast Of almost every person an
inherent sympathy and respect for
people who live by their toll. Most
every one likes to see them enjoy
themselves when off duty, and takes
delight in contributing to their
pleasure. This feeling is taking a
very substantial form. All the
stores close every night at 6 clock,
and many of the large manufacturers
are closing down their plants at
noon on Saturday to give their en-
ployes half holiday. 1t was also
this feeling which caused the per-
manent establishment of one day in
each year to be knowna as Labor Day.
This day is recognized and honored
by the governor of the state through
an official proclamation in which he
pays handsome tribute to labor,
orders the state house closed, and
urges the business men to close
their stores and shops in observance
of the occasion. The request is al.
ways granted. Business houses
close, business is dispensed with
so far as possible, and every one
does his part to make the occasion
one of pleasure for the men who
labor. All this is the result of the
almost universal sentiment in favor
of aiding and dignifying organized
labor.
But it is question as to whether
or not this sacrifice is wholly ap
preciated The individual laborel
doubtless does appreciate it, bu1
the organizations, the so called
unions, as a whole, seem to accep
it as something which is theirs by
right. There is something abou
their demeanor while parading the
streets that savors of defiance in
stead of appreciation and reciprocal
ton. This feeling is evidenced By
the banners which they carry
There was not single banner il

No employer objects to an eight
hour day if the wages are proper
tionable, but he does object to the
law of the unions which will not
permit man to work more than
eight hours if he wants to and the
employer is willing to pay for the
extra service. To denounce court
injunctionS is to utter the most
conspicuous sentiments of anar-
chists. The right of a court to
prevent man or a society from
committing a crime or performing
an illegal act is recognized by every
civilized country on the globe. A
court has as much right to prevent
crime and lawlessness by injunction
as it has to infict punishment after
the crime has been committed.
When a man shoots another to save
his own life it is only another way
Of preventing crime by injunction,
and the law justifes him. The
scab is a laboring man who does
not belong to the union; and no
matter how good citizen or skillful
a workmen he may be the union
men hate him with a rattle-snake
hatred; and in case of a strike
neither his life nor the lives of his
family would be safe should he
undertake to do a tap OF work on a
| lob abandoned hv the strikers.

Indianapolis, March S.-The official
report of Chris Evans. who was sent
20 the West Virginia coal fields to in
vestigatc the killing of the negro min
ers at Atkinsvi!le, has been received
at the headquarters of the United Mine
Workers.
The report says that Gen. st. Clair,
the attorney for the coal companies,
created an agitation to have the men
arrested and taken to Charleston, and
that Immediately afterward arrange
ments were made with the United
States marshal by the mine workers
officials to give bond for all who We're
arrested, but later, on account of the
agitation created by Deputy Marshal
Cunningham, the agreement with the
marshal was broken and Cunningham
was sent to arrest the men.
According TO the report there was
great feeling against Cunningham. and
the men decided not to allow him to
arrest them, and he was driven away.
Mr.. Evans says he sent telegram to
the men to submit quietly, but that
the coal companies. who own all the
telegraph and telephone lines into the
town, refused to deliver 1t, and be-
fore he could get any messag e to the
men, Cunningham and his deputies,
who, he says, were the worst charac-
tiers he could collect. went to the
town a second time and killed the
miners in their beds at night.
The next day, he says, forty-eight
men were arrested for conspiring to
kill Cunningham. He says three ne
Igro miners were killed by the deputies
without being given an opportunity to
surrender. and that ooroners jury
has returned a verdict Of felonious
killing against Cunningham.

NO ACTION EXPECTED
IN THE CRUM CASE.
Not Believed That the Senate win
Confirm Him.
BY r. NJ. Larner.


Washington, March S-There ap-
pears to be a general understanding in
the Senate that no action will be TAX
en- on the Crum nomination during the
present special session of the Senate.
The name of Crur1 is again before
the Committee on Commerce, and
there is general belief that an adj
verse report will be the result. Five
vacancies three Republicans and two
Democrats, now exist in the member
ship of that committee. which will not
be filed during the special session. An
informal conference of the Republican
and Democratic leaders in the Senate
was held yesterday, and 1t was decid-
ed that vacancies in the various com
mittees need not be filled until next
winter.
The Republicans claim that the spe-
cial session was called for the con-
sideration of the Panama and Cuban
questions exclusively, and there is no
necessity for recognizing the COM
mittees at this time.
Vacancies in the Commerce Com
mittee are: Republicans, Mcmillan,
Michigan, dead; Jones, Nevada, and
Mason. retired; Democrats, Vest of
Missouri and Turner of Washington.
This leaves the membership of the
committee at twelve-eight Republic
cans and four Democrats. II Perkins
and Nelson, Republicans, vote against
Crum, as they did previously, it means
a second adverse report.
However, the Democrats are deter
mined no decision shall be reached up
on the nomination during the extra
session. THAI would leave the way
open for the President TO give Crum a
recess appointment, which would en-
able the latter to take possession of the
Charleston Custom House at once and
hold office until his successor is ap-
pointed and confirmed.
William l.. Harris, present post
master of Charleston, has been twice
nomina ted to the Senate, but he has
never been confirmed, yet he continues
to hold Office under q recess appoint
ment.
