CARROLL D. WRIGHT -~
 ON LABOR'S PROSPECTS

try since the period of frequent strikes began-Sa3. 1880 There is a saner con- siders$ton in all these matters. The pub
 c judges the whole question by the tur- motls that are described. when a real knowledge of actual conditions teaches the reverse.
 Nearly all the prominent leaders of la- bor organizations are in favor of these quiet and private adjustments of affairs, of all reasonable methods of concillation, and of some form of arbitration when ali other methods fail. They deprecare a strike in the abstract and only approve of 1t as a method of last resort.
 Example of the Brotherhoods.
 Of course, this is not always so. The newer unions ara more apt to inaugurate strike at the beginning of a controversy than are those unions which have had experience. All of the railway brother hoods-and they are the most conserva- tive labor organizations in the country not only oppose strikes but do all they can to prevent them. and they stand so well with the railroad managements of the country that oftentimes matters are left entirely to the oficers of the broth erhoods for adjustment
 This is the result of experience, for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers during their first years of existence re- sorted to some of the most brutal meth. Ods known in labor matters to enforce their demands; but they learned their les- son, and learned it so well that the late
