LOST THROUGH RIOTS.

The san Francisco strike is an illus
ti1tlon Of the futillty OF attempts TO ad-
just labor disputes by the aid of vo-
leuce. The strikers OF that city or
their synpathizers, have gone too far
and now public sentiment Is against
them This was In evidence the other
day, when the cars were taken out Of
the carbarn at oak and Broderick and
the boots and Misses OF the strikers
were drowned In the volley Of cheers
Of the crowd representing the public.
All along tho route, especially in the
residence district, the enthusiasm Of the
women over the running Of the cars
was something almost unanimous It
was In evidence again when women
girls and children waved their hand
kerchiefs at the men manning the cars
all along the line, and became so en-
thusastic that they presented them
with flowers.
The police department Of San Fran
cisco. 1t seems. have given no protec-
ton 20 tho property Of the company
or the men employed to break the
strike. California papers state that the
police virtually have sided with the
rioters and the thugs. II Is charged
that under the orders Of the chief Of
police, they deliberately released men
whom they caught in the act of stoning
the cars and the men thereon. At the
corner OF Devisadero and Hayes. Milton
Henry a union striker and a union
picket. it is claimed threw brick at
the men in the car. He was arrested
by an officer Chief of Police Oman,
standing by and witnessing the act,
under the threats of the crowd, ordered
his release,
But this is not gaining any friends
for the men. ON the contrary. We have
often pointed out that the element that
depends on violence and the officers who
stand by that element are the worst
enemies of the laboring men. By alien
ating public sentiment they deprive
them of the best possible support and
chance to win. That Is just what has
happened in San Francisco, it seems.
The danger of strikes always Is this.
that they SO easily bring about. in
stead of the original controversy what
eyer that may be, a conflict between or
ganized society and the layless element
that is found everywhere and particu-
larry in the larger cities. The laborers
themselves may counsel against vio-
lence They have done so in San Fran
cisco. But they have not been able TO
control the spirit coniured up by the
strike.
That is the danger OF such move
ments 1t will soon he apparent that

responsibilities for any one side of a
labor controversy to shoulder, and then
