SOCIAL JUSTICE.


1t is good tactics to strike the frs
blow at an enemy; but men are not
justified in coming to blows until
every other means of settling a dis
pute has been exhausted. Industrial
strikes are to be deplored, as much
for the suffering they entail upon the
combatants themselves as upon the
innocent public. Nevertheless.
strikes have won many an industrial
a While arbitration by an i'm
partial public board is always de-
sirable. and doubtless should be
made compulsory, the court of last
resort, the strike, still remains.
Did you ever watch a liquid come
to a boil? First a series of very
fine bubbles will rise tc the surface.
These increase in size and violence,
now here one, now there another. un-
til the whole mass is fairly seething.
Now we who are on the outside of
Industrial connections are not usual
ly aware of anything going on until
the final ebullition. And we are apt
to regard it all as a tempest In a
teapot until some investigating Is
done.
We IN ~ A&SAN
should be so many dissolute women
infesting u cities and stand aghast
at the revelations made by Mrs.
Goode recently before the aldermanlC
committee in New York. If we knew
that the conditions that operate to
drive these women upon the streets
are the same that inlame to strikes
their sister workers who struggle to
lead pure lives, would we be likely TO
wait until the pot boiled over before
seeking a social Reimbursement?
Let US take merely a peep, then,
beneath the surface, and at one point
only, noting some Of the conditions
under which the white goods work
ers live in New York city. Their
average wages are less than S. a
week. some being as low as So a
week. Out OF this the girls are for
ced to pay So cents a week for
thread, and 40 cents a week for cleo
trio power. A system Of fines still
further ~depletes their pitifully small
wages, a few minutes l%ateness caus-
ing the workers to be locked. The
bosses slap the girls faces when dis
pleased with them. The "a hour q
week law lS nov observed, inc eHl'
| ployes who dare testify against theil
employers not only losing their Jobs
but finding themselves blacklfsted IT
the whole trade. Granted that the
employer have their grievances, ant
are many times sorely tried by theil
employees, who wants his daughter
subjected to such conditions? Ant
SO long as any mans daughter Is Sc
subjected, no mans daughter is safe
That the land Of the free should
become unto any the land Of bondage
outrages our sense of social justice
That the land whence political slav
cry has been banished should be
come the land of an equally debas
ing Industrial slavery, should aroust
US to action. That that irresponsible
| power OF capital should sit in the
| place OF the delegated power o
democracy is disgraceful. The rea
war for freedom has hardly begun
That eternal vigilance is the prize
OF liberty" is still true.
