4 NEEDLESS STRIKE.

The agreement reached IN the express
strike is an agreement that should have
been reached without strike. The men

hours and wages that prevailed before.
and committees of employers and en-
nloyes are 10 consider together the ques-
tions nj issue and strive 10 reach an un-
derstanding regarding new schedule %
hours and wages to go into effect on De
cember /. That is precisely what ought
TO have heen done in the first place.
The employers and the employees ought
10 have met I'm friendly spirit and have
sought 10 adjust their relations without
resortinC 10 strike Instead Of that,
when a few minor employees Of an ex-
press company. becoming dissa tisfed
with the conditions of their employment
and presenting demands for their allevi-
alton 10 some superior without authority
to act in the premises. left their work
the strike became general and the city
was nut 10 great inconvenience for
fortnight
The very history Of the strike shows
that the relations between the employ
ing corporations and their employees were
not what wise men would cultivate.
Arrangements for the adjustment If
grievances in a business of such impor-
tance to the people should have been so
perfect that strike could only have
come after the failure Of negotiations
instead of as preliminary TO negotla-
tions. The express companies fear fhe
effect of unionizing of their employees.
and they may well dread having 70 deal
with several general unions whose lead
ers have various irons in their fire. in
Guiding that vague something. 'the inter
ests of labor" but one of the things that
drive men into unionism is remoteneSs on
the part of the employer and the lack OF
part Of the employer and the lack OF
means for collective bargaining and ne
cntiation between him and his employees
This mob-Iike outbreak of the express
men against the express companies was
the signal for national organizers of all
degrees TO come fiocking here and they
seem to have gained a considerable MUM
her of recruits. Their influence was
prohably given TO protract the strike
which the "intnreStS of labor" Doubtless
demanded-and their last move was an
attempt to induce the strikers, when
neace was in sight to hold out for rec
ognition of the union,H relying on the
mems experience to show them the ne
cessity of recognized machinery for col
lective bargaining
That effort failed, and the express
companies are free TO profit by the les
| sons of the strike and so to organize ana
systematize their relations with their
workmen that the possibility Of CLOSED
shop unionism will be averted. Other
large employers of labor have done this,
with substantial advantages and salts
ion TO both sides
