VICTORY FOR LABOR.

The settlement of the big strike at
the Pressed Steel Car company works
at Pittsburg resulted in a notable VIC
tory for the workingmen. All the strik-
ers were taken back and the imported
strike breakers sent back to the east
from whence they came. The demands
of the workmen were granted in the
main and now they are all back at
work once more under the promise of
improved conditions and better treat
ruent.
This is one of the greatest triumphs
in the annals of organized labor, but
it was only won at the cost of many
human lives and much suffering and
misery on the part of women and little
children. Not since the terrible Home
stead riots has there been such a de-
termined and deadly strike in this
country and in the Carnegie strike the
men won no victory.
However. the men of the Pressed
Steel company plant were aided not a
little in their struggle by the threat of
a federal investigation of the peonage
system which hung like shadow over
the heads of the cruel and selfish iron
masters, The latter surrendered rather
than submit to the federal probe.
pay small and the masters close and
stern in the big steel mills and coal
mircs and factories of the east, yet it
is doubtful If there are many of these
great corporations that treat their en-
ployes so badly as did the Pressed
Steel company according to the pub
Hshed reports of the causes of the
strike. The eastern lords of industry
are bad enough. no doubt, but they
should not be judged by this one steel
concern at Pittsburg.
Organized labor has won a great VIC
tory and wise and thoughtful labor
leaders can turn it to good account,
but on the other hand some rash and
ignorant counselors are liable to. take
false step in the hour of triumph
that will spoil most of the good effects.
Both capital and labor should have
learned lesson from the Pressed Steel
company strike and it is to be hoped
that both will profit by it.

HARTMAN.

To write of Hartman and his
achievements in high finance at this
| time is merely SUPERFICIAL grouping
of words together with adjectives in
the ascendant. This little shred of a
man was a wizard in his game of
stocks and bonds, and the men who
took cards in the game with him were
never able to fathom his style of play,
so consequently they lost more often
than they won, and many of these
men were master players, too.
To merely say that Hartman accu-
mulated a fortune of some 200 mill
lions of dollars and secured control
of more miles of railroad than any
other man living or dead, while it is
the story of his life work told in a
sentence, yet the words fail to convey
the meaning of what he really did,
how he did it and what it all amounts
to. The figures are too big.
An idea of Harriman's wealth may
be gained when one considers that all
the real estate and personal property
in the city of Topeka is assessed at
about fifty millions, one-fourth of the
Hartman fortune. An idea of his
railroad holdings is still harder to
grasp. 1t takes a big man life time
to gain control of one railroad and
yet Mr.. Hartman had gained control
of dozen big trunk lines while in his
fifties.
But Mr.. Hartman has gone on a
journey where no railroad transporta-
ton is required. His thousands of
miles of steel rails cannot span the
space between death and Immortality.
He found and won all roads but the
road to health.
Harriman'st stock manipulations
made Wall street SILVER and were felt
in all the money centers in the world.
1t is said that he reaped fortunes
where he did not SOW and that his
signals wrecked many stately ships of
finance. This may be true. But it is
not the story of his craft, his power,
his skill, his luck that counts most
now that his restless soul is at rest at
last. One of the finest things that Mr..
Hartman ever did, one that shows the
real man at his best, was when, last
Sunday, with his death sickness upon
him, he fastened the marriage of an
engineer in his employ at his noun
tain home with an Irish parlor maid,
and gave the young couple a check
for $500.
The lovers had worked for Harri-
man for many years. They had plan
ned to get married this week, but
when the railroad king, who to them
was simply kind employer, was TAX
en- worse Sunday, they wanted to
postpone the wedding. Hartman
heard of it and insisted that they get
married at once. ct will not let my
illness interfere with their instant
happiness" he said.
The approach of death lays bare
the heart and soul Mr.. Hartman was
great and good man in death, for
only such man could have thought at
that time of this humble couple and
arranged for their happiness. So love
and marriage held the stage at Mt.
Arden for moment, and then the
lights were turned low and that world
old tragedy of death was played out
with the master of millions in the
leading role.
"And they who follow me reach every
state mortals desire,
And conquer every foe save DEATH"
