THE WESTERN STRIKE,

The Washington Post thinks that
the great strike recently begunin she
West Involving 45, 900 workmen In
the great meat packing establish
ments in Chicago, Omaha, Kansas

upon the prospects OF President
Rooseyelt's election, unless the dliler-
ences between employers and employ
ees are quickly adjusted. Ii holds
that the strike directly affects these
thousands of laborers themselves,
and that In addition to that the con
sequent advance ia the price OF meat
affects thousands OF families, with
the prospect Of sympathetic strikes
in other quarters. Our contempt
rary may have added with equal
truth that the administration

this strike will present. In addition
to those who are directly concerned
there are those who will charge up
to Republican tariff laws the ao'l'ty
of this great trust to so absolutely
control the output and price OF one
of the necessities of life that when
anything affecting its operations
arises, the price of meat is advanced
at will. There is something radically
wrong in our statute laws, or in the
way they are executed, when any
man or set OF men can control abso-
lutely the price OF any of the neces-
stiles OF life. A condition OF affairs
which enables trust magnates az Will
to filch from the laboring men OF the
country their hard earned savings Is
an intolerable condition, for which
there should be a remedy.

President Roosevelt has very much
offended the accredited committee

to carry out their instructions, but

that Mr.. Roosevelt was too busy TO
be seen even upon important bust
ness, and their assertion that they
would not detsin him two minutes
and be knowing the contents OF the
paper to be presented and the con-
yentiou would remain in session to
hear the report, their reasonable re-
quest was denied and they had to re-
turn with the resolutions in their
pockets. They were angry at such
treatment, and they had right TO
be. They represented 225, 900 voters
OF the great State OF Pennsylvania
and had right to be heard, and 1t
will not be strange If those labor
unions and the thousands OF Others

the country should not resent such
treatment at the polls in November
