A common sense view is the best to
take of everything. The books are
full of laws that never were enforced
and never will be enforced, and there
are evils in every community that new
err have been and never will be elimi-
mated, however much these laws should
be enforced and however much the
evils should be eradicated. There are
various classes and elements in every
community, and what suits one will
not always suit the other To expect
to have things all one way is as i'm
possible as tine millennium itself. Strife
never helps any community, and its
effects are often worse than the evil
effects of many things complained Of.

LOOKS LIKE FAILURE
Striking Hotel Employees Not
Succeeding Well.
Help From Other Cities Is Pouring
into Chicago.

Chicago, June 15-The second day
of the strike of the hotel and restaur-
ant employees in twenty-six Of the
hotels brought assertions from the
ranks of the unions and increased de-
termination in the minds of the hotel
owners against what they term the
arbitrariness of the striking employees.
Vigorous efforts Of strike pickets to
interfere with delivery of coal, meats
and grocery supplies created some ex-
citement around many of the hotels,
but every such effort was baked by
business agents Of the various unions
involved in the attacks. and even the
milk wagon drivers, who had declared
in favor of the strike, were forced by
officials of the National Teamsters'
union to obey the general laws of the
organization and to refrain from a
sympathetic strike. Attempts Of the
strike leaders to enlist the teamsters,
engineers and firemep failed.
AS soon as these tactics were made
known at the Teamsters' union 100
rival piokets were started through the
downtown district to combat the
efforts of the strikers and to assure the
delivery of hotel supplies. Before the
end OF the day the cooks and walters
abandoned the hope of support from
other unions. 49,
A canvass of the hotels where
strikes have occurred shows that most
of them are in fair working condition.
Against total of a,bi7 employees who
have gone out, the hotels in the sg-
gregate have q working force of 1852.
Three hundred men have arrived in
Chicago from outside cities, sent here
by agents Of the hotel men, who were
sent out several days ago.
Every hotel owner has arranged
with correspondent hotels in other
cities for all the help that can be
spared.
Bartenders who went out yesterday
in many instances returned to work
today and tore up their union cards.
