THE RAILROAD STRIKE.

on with both sides of the contro-
versy determined to fight the mat
ter to the bitter end. It does not
appear unlikely that the strike will
spread all over the country and may
involve other branches of the rail-
road service. The switchmen ask
for more pay. and ask to be relieved
of so much overtime and Sunday
work by means of charging double
pay for such work. The companies
claim that they cannot afford to
pay more wages. There the matter
stands and the public must content
itself with suffering inconvenience
and financial loss until one or the
other of the parties has been pum-
melled, beaten and worn out to the
point of yielding. 1t is the Same
old story of the inevitable conflict
of capital and labor.
On such occasions as these the
necessity of more direct control of
the railroads by the state and ma
tional governments is forced home
to the minds of all.
Why wait until the sufferings of
the public have become acute and
the most dire distress forces &C.
tion? Why should it be necessary
that a number of people freeze to
death and endless suffering be en-
tailed before the government sees
fit to take hold and adjust the dif-
ferences between employer and en-
ploye? The railroads are after all
but the servants of the public. The
laws and court decisions so hold.
Why shall they then be permitted
to assume the positions of masters.
Our sympathy is in the first place
with the suffering public, the third
and by far the greater party affect
ed by the strike, to which party we
belong. In the second place we
sympathize with the workingmen.
who are forced to fight for better
conditions for themselves and their
fellowlaborers in the face of the
greatest odds. and who by the very
nature of the case are the under
dogs" in the struggle. With Lin
coin we believe THAT labor is prior
to and above capital and deserves
by far the greater consideration. "
We know that under our laws as
now administered the reverse con-
ditions exist. The railroads are
safe whatever happens. Should
they go into the hands Of receivers
the government will take charge of
them and after putting them on
;. their feet will hand them back to
: their owners again. Should the
men fail they are doomed to lose
their chance to work at their chosen
! vocation. and may become destitute
with their families with no pattern
al government to put them back in
to prosperity. Their occupation is
a most hazardous one at the lest.
c We say this without attempting to
discuss the question of who forced
!, the outbreak of hostilities. AS q
rule when war breaks out there are
underlying causes which make the
} outbreak inevitable and the details
of the first outbreak are merely in
cidental.
The only solution possible now
{ that justice may be done to all
parties is by intervention If the
proper authorities to bring about a
settlement, and we hope that this
will speedily come.

Editor S. w. Needham in Sigourney
News: In the hotel lobby Tin Des
Moines,) Sunday evening we ran across
Congressman Kennedy from the First
Iowa district. He got US into the Ma
tional Convention at Chicago one day,
and we havn't seen him since we
prowled around those corridors. He is
a dandy fellow. Always common. quiet,
dignified, 1t is pleasure to talk with
him. He came down on the train
Tuesday morning, as far as Oskaloosa
with us, and we asked him about a
bushel of questions about things, which
he answered AS we left the train at
Oskaloosa he said he gessed he'd
take a nap. We just about talked an
arm off him, no wonder he was sleepy.
He asked to be remembered to Dan
Hamilton and Will Richardson, as he
roomed at the same hotel with them
the two years they were back at Wash
sington. Congressman Kennedy thinks
lots Of the boys and Mr.. Hamilton and
VIII both told me that that Kennedy
is prince of fellow. So you see
that though these men were on sides,
that they were the very best of
friends. The Congressman went to
Canada with the boys this summer
and had q great outing.
