GREAT STRIKES.

The first strike of consequence in this
ors left their employment and paraded
the streets of the city of New York, in
timidating the public and breaking the
peace. BY these means they compelled
others to join them before being arrest
ed by constables.
Between 1921 and 1921 strikes were
few and unimportant, but in the year
1895, says the report OF the commits
sioner of labor issued in 1901, strikes
had become SO numerous as to call
forth remonstrant comment from the
public presa" A number of strikes oc-

hours had grown In 1872 to the extent
of asking an eight-hour Cay.
From 1851 to 1900, according to the
reports Of the commissioner of labor,
there were 22.793 strikes, involving
1850 establishments. and 6,105 694
employees were thrown out of employ
ment. The duration of these strikes
varied within wide limits, the average
for twenty years being 23.s days. Dur
ing this period there was lost by the
employees concerned in wages, the sum
of 1857 600 900 and to the employers
$122. 100000. Considered by states, rs
per cent of all strikes occurred in New
York, 12As per cent in Pennsylvania,
11.6 per cent in Illinois, ~ per cent in
Massachusetts and per cent in Ohio.
In New York City 5000 strikes were
recorded, I'm Chicago. 1887.
The leading American strikes have
been the great strike OF 1877 on the
Baltimore & Ohio railway system
which spread to the Pennsylvania and
other railroads in which much damage
was done to property ana troops were
called out: the strike on the Gould
system, which occurred
over the discharge of a union man and
was SO complete as to cripple the sys-

EARLY DAYS IN IOWA.

All the whites along the west bank
of the river until 1893 were soldiers,
trappers, traders and hunters. Many
of them married Indian wives. AS

VIM. Kirmse, a member OF the bridge
gang working near Lttleport was
taken suddenly i'll Thursday night with
cramps and kind OF cholera. His case
was so severe that he had to have the
members of the crew wait upon him,
and Mr. Clifford was called and con-
suited. He told them he had medi-
cine in the form Of Chamberlain

that he thought would help him out and
accordingly several doses were admins

NOT AN UNCOMMON TYPE.
CpaJla blaine JJpin,


Go down the street any hour of the
day or evening, and see how many
young men you will find lounging
around the hotels. holding up the
sides of buildings, sitting in stair
ways. What are they doing? Smoking
cigarets. splitting tobacco juice on the
sidewalks and stairways. telling smut
ty stories, ogling and making remarks
about respectable women who are
forced to run the gauntlet past them.
Ask one of them why he is not at
work? There amt no work to do. I
never seen a town where it is as hard
to get job as it is here this summer
(They always say that, in every town
and every summer.) But ask one Of
them to do some honest work for you at
fair wages. and he will tell you that he
amt feeling we'll, or he has to go to
see a man this afternoon, or some
other flimsy excuse. And If perchance
one of them is tempted by the offer of
extra large pay, he will probably exer-
else so much ingenuity in doing as lit
tie work as possible that he soon finds
hirnelf fired" But instead of blaming
himself he complains that there amt
no chance a-days for young
man to get ahead in this country
This is the type of the young man
who, little later, will find Some girl
foolish enough to marry him. and they
Will live a to-mouth existence.
and bring into the world children who
will grow UP to be incompetents like
themselves, and perhaps paupers and
criminals.
And all this time the man is curs!ng
the rich and those who, by their own
industry, frugality and honesty, have
acquired competence, damning the
government, and laying on social and
economic conditions the blame that
rightly belongs on his own shoulders.

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW
War and Strikes.

On as good authority as General
Sherman, we have been told that war
is hell" We have only to call to the
witness stand the wives and children of
many strikers, living in these United
States at this moment to hear equally
strong evidence, that cause and effect
in both strikes and war, are much alike.
Both are brought about by men with
the worst of motives and both are al
ways carried on by some with the best
of principle governing their actions.
Both have camp followers" ready
alike to plumber friend or foe and both
are in the control OF capable or dis
honest officials as the case may be.
Both need money for the sinews" of
war or strikes, and no war or strike can
be successful unless it has public opin-
ion In its favor, back of it. And to quiet
many other comparisons, wars or
strikes are necessary and Inevitable.

ognize the doctrine of love, but has re-

other generalities it is easy to assert,
there is no necessary antagonism be-

golden rule was adopted by both sides.
Unfortunately, as between nations, 50
with labor and capital, force and fear
are the factors to accomplish desired
results.
A successful and prosperous nation
makes war only when prepared and
with principles involved worth fighting
for. Capital, having In it's ranks many
engaged as national governing officials,
keeps this in mind In conducting it's
business proceedings. But labor lacks
this shrewdness, and PUSHES into many
contests when they are whipped before
the fight commences" Labor suffers
