"DUTY TO THE PUBLIC"

The Tacoma Ledger IN speaking
of the possible turn Of the present
strike, says:
PERHAPS with the IDEA that the
telegraph companies wonld oppose
such move, the operators some
time ago al San Francisco said they
would ask for government control if
their demands are not complied
with The operators should remem-
Der that the government does NOT
and cannot make distinctions
among citizens. Whether operators
are union or non-union would not
concern the government. The con-
duet of the operators at the present
time may have the effect of increas-
ing sentiment for government owner
ship of the telegraph lines. but the
probabilities are that with govern
ment ownership the operators would
not receive as large salary as they
are now receiving There is one
thing certain: If the government
operated the telegraph lines, it coul'
no more permit the operators - par

IAN INDISPENSABLE STRIKE -

There are few people now days
who are not in sympathy with the
average striker when the strike is
for higher wages and better condi-
tions for the men. But there is diff
ference when men go on sympa-
thetic strike. and the public is grow
ing out of patience with the strike
for closed shop. The public have
begun to ask themselves why man
should be compelled to join a union
and contribute TO the support OF men
at the head of the union whom they
dislike. Why should a man more
efficient than his neighbor not be al
lowed to draw more for his labor
and why should the man worth but
s per day draw as much as the man
worth S. per day to the employers?
The subject of unionism and
strikes are demanding a great deal
of attention throughout the country
since the strike of the telegrapherS.
The whole country is affected and
the whole nation has become inter-
ested in subject OF vast Importance
to the people and it is well that il
be discussed from all sides. The st.
Paul Dispatch in an editorial entitl-
ed an indefensible strike" says:

ize with itself, and with no others, as
the chief sufferer aud the one GER
tain loser. by the telegraph opera

ness and monetary loss fall on the
people who have no means of re-
coupling themselves. They are out
of pocket, whoever wins. and their
interest has been given no consid-
5eration by the contending parties, as
is too often the case.
The strikers have displayed an nm
usual contempt for public opinion,

the disloyalty would. be severely
dealt with.
The citizen owes, a duty to his
fellow man as we'll as to himself.
When he is engaged in public SER
vice, the duty to fellow men is all
the greater. These considerations
seem not to have weighed at all with
the radicals. Rather they conceived
the idea that the public character of
the service they perform would force
the public to rally to their support.
But the American people have never
been coerced. They have ever re-
scented anything having the appear
ance of coercion and will continue to
do So If they conclude that the tel
egraph operators planned to use
them as club, they will fight the
matter ont if they must lose mil
lions of dollars and suffer millions

because they have any peculitr adj
miration for the telegraph companies

a strike under such conditions IS

A strike under such conditions IS
entirely indefensible, because it in
flicts a wanton injury upon those
who have done no wrong, the peo-
pie. The injury Is wanton, because
it is not done as last resort, but
in utter neglect of the duty which
the operators, as we'll as the tele-
graph companies, owe the people.
Those who own the wires and those
who use the keys are alike public
servants, performing function
which they have no right lightly to
abandon. They are part of the
nervous system of the commercial
body. 1t is as wrong for the opera
tors to paralyze that system, by leay-
ing work without just cause, as it
would be for the telegraph COM
panies to discontinue the service I'M
der the same conditions.
THE telegraph companies ara
wealthy corporations, able to wage
such warfare for some appreciate
time. and the strikers are not with
ont funds, but neither side will be
able TO triumph over the other with
out the support of public sentiment.
Public opinion is the element that
will cast the deciding vote. will be
the determining weight in the bal
ance. And public opinion will hard
ly hold that the right of the &C Il
troversy rests with the party which
begins the struggle by doing 6
wrong"
