The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-05-01

Unfortunately for the strikers. their
battle has been marked by unusual dis
turbauccs and acts Of vioIence; men
have been beaten, assaulted and shot
and the natural result of this plan of
campaign, if continued. viii be the
alienation OF public sympathy and the
loss of their cause. Doubtless much
of the disturbance is due TO sympathfz-
ers rather than to the strikers them
selves, but the result will certainly be
disastrous to the strike if the methods
of force are continued.
There has been some talk by the la
Dor leaders OF an appeal to the nresf-
dent 10 take a hand in the trouble and
secure a settlement of the strike as
he did in the anthracite coal strike.
His visit to Chicago is scheduled for
May 10, aud if will be interesting to
note the position he takes. in the coal
strike, he had an excuse for Interior
eHce because the region involved was
so large, the interests affected were al
most national in Importance, and the
strike involved the railroads and their
interstate traffic. In Chicago, on the
other hand, the disturbance SO far has
been purely local; it originated with
an insignificant dispute, it involves no
question of interstate commerce, and
there has been no suggestion Of in
ability on the part of the local author
tiles to handle their own affairs. De
sirabIe as a settlement would be on
peaceful terms, it is difficult to see
how the president can take part in
the matter without subjecting himself
to criticism for interfering with a pure
" local affair which is entirely outside
his jurisdiction as chief executive.

HHICAGO's STRIkE.

Students of the labor situation in
Chicago have been expecting for some
time the trouble which has finally cuI-
minated in the strike of teamsters that
promises to be one of the fiercest strug-
giles of years.
Although the forces interested in the
fight involve all the union teamsters
of the city on one side, and the En-
pIoyers' association on the other, the
tEoubIe began with an insignificant
strike of garment makers working for
Montgomery Ward & Co. Their team
sters went out in sympathy with the
garment makers. This sympathetic
strike spread until it involves the en-
tire membership of the transfers
union. which includes practically all
the employees in that line throughout
Chicago.
IN addition to the men directly af-
fccted, the teamsters have the moral
and financial support of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, which represents
all the unions in the city. Arrayed
against these forces is the employers
association. embracing the largest and
strongest houses in the city, and or
ganized with unlimited means behind
- As usual in such cases, the original
issue has been obscUred by the COM
plicatious resulting. In essence. it is
a struggle on one side for recognition
OF the union. and on the other side
for the right TO employ men regardless
of their utilization with organized Ia
Dor and it is expected by today p, ZOO
men Will be out.
What such a strike means in the
great city can hardly be realized at
this distance. The coal teamsters have
already refused TO deliver coal TO firms
known to be supplying goods to the
Ward firm; hotels housing strike break
ers have been compelled to turn their
guests out: Office buildings have been
denied coal supplies, and eventually it
is supposed the food supply Of the
city will be cUrtailed seriously by the
refusal of the teamsters to work for
firms in the Employers association.
Practically every branch of business
il the city is concerned in the out
come of the struggle, with the packing
houses, ice dealers and coal firms as
the focus of the disturbance because
of the number Of teams they employ
and the demand for the articles they
supply
While an effort has been made by
the federated trades to secure arbitra-
ton, the employers take the position
that they have nothing to arbitrate,
that the law gives them the right to
employ whom they please and that
they are entitled TO the protection Of
