INJURING THEIR CAUSE.

The street car strike in Cleveland, o., and It's
attendant disorders, dynamite outrages, shooting
and throwing of brick bats once more causes the re-
Fiction that organized labor and its friends its
own worst enemies That the organization of the
workers of America has resulted in improving
ditons shortening the hours of work and increasing
their wages is beyond dispute. That certain so
called leaders in the organization of laborers, as
well the scoundrels who dynamite to intim-
date the employers, have incurred the i'll will of
the public and brought discredit upon the whole
scheme of unionism is equally beyond peradven-
ture
The ill-advised policy of violence which accom-
panies great many disputes betv%,n employer and
employee has in large measure discTedited every or
ganization of labor in the country The public is
not given to fine Discrimination in such matters.
and the thousands and thousands of members of
organized labor bodies who unhesitatingly condemn
the irrational methods of a few radical members
are included in the general condemnation for the
acts of the few.
Aside from preventing violence, which should
be the first work of union in difficulties such
arose in Cleveland, the rational course to pursue
would be the avoidance of an unyieding insistence
the better argument. Conservative demands have
nearly always been met by employers. The history
of radical demands is long story of defeat for
the unions. Instances are so numerous that none
need be cited.
The efforts of organized labor have effected many
betterments In the conditions of work and rate of
pay. No one at all acquainted with the movement
viii attempt to deny that, and every fair-minded
man is ready to congratulate the unions the good
they have accomplished. As long as the individ
uals composing the membership Of any union are
disposed to give fair equivalent in quantity and
quality of work for the wages received and long
as they conduct themselves in a becoming and law
abiding manner, their organization is entitled to the
respect and good will of the public, and they have
it. Even when differences seem to justify strike
and it is not TO be presumed that self-respecting
men will submit to real grievances, the sympathy of
the public naturally with the strikers. But when
violence or unlawful interference with the rights
property of others occurs as an accompaniment
of the strike, that public sympathy is Immediately
alienated. Dynamite strike. If the
for the strike is just one, little intelli
gence and square dealing in negotiations far
more potent for settlement than dynamite bomb
or a shotgun. 1t might be mentioned also, that
CLEAN of intelligence and desire to be fair on the
part of the employer are also potent factors to the
adjustment Of differences.

The mere fact that he is off duty when drinking
therefore is not valid excuse and will not be ac-
cepted The company has also notified all the
miners that it will not knowingly employ miners
who are given.to the habit of drinking on or OF
duty, nor will it retain such miners in it's employ.
Comment is hardly necessary. Several railroads
have announced their intention to employ only total
abstainers thousands of mercantile establishments
throughout the country will retain no drinkers on
their payrolls; saloon proprietors even want
none but blue ribboqers behind the bar Now comes
a large mining company with total abstinence as
