organized militia and in favor of arm
ing every sober and reputable citizen
of the United States so as to be able TO
resist the militia" The passage of that
resolution would have been a very bad
thing for the American Federation of
Labor.
The overwhelming vote against the
Berger resolution shows concIusiyely
that the Federation does not stand for
the subversion of the laws Of the land.
Members of labor unions are. as a
mass, sober. industrious, law-abiding
and law-respeeting citizens Some
times, when they permit themselves to
be swept off their feet by badly bal
anced and often venal agitators, they
make serious mistakes. So do citizens
in every walk OF life. But when they
have chance to think situation over
nationally, they usually do the right
thing.
For the Federation TO go on record as
against the militia, on Berger's plea
that the militia is used only to back up
strike-breakers. would be to confess
that trades unions countenance the de-
struction of life and property. This be-
cause the militiamen are called out
only when IT becomes necessary for
them to protect life and property. The
Herald believes. and has always be-
lieved. that the disorder which so often
attends strikes of magnitude is caused
more by thugs and toughs who pretend
to be friends of the strikers. than by
the strikers themselves. In the short
strike Of the street railway men in Salt
Lake City last spring this fact was
demonstrated to the satisfaction Of all
beholders.
In that instance the strikers not only
took no part in the smashing of street
car windows, the cutting of trolley
ropes and the mishandling of the men
who attempted to run the cars, they
urged their so-called friends to desist
from disorder. The result was that
they won the sympathy of the public,
without which it is difficult TO win any
STINT anu ltlCy NClC NiClOIlOuS III InGlE
fight.
The most disastrous defeat ever adj
ministered to a labor union in the
United States was administered to the
