A PLEA FOR CONSERVATISM.

In another column of this issue OF
The Intelligencer appears n communi-
cation from an Ohio miner. at Rush
Run. who takes exceptions to some
statements made by this paper as to
the desire OF part Of the miners now
On . strike to have n referendum
vote as to whether the contention
shall continue or be abandoned. and
suggests that The Intelligencer send
its personal investigator into the min
ing camps of Eastern Ohio and be
convinced that none OF the miners are
in favor OF such a proposition. There
are obvious reasons why such an in
vestigation would be fruitless. The
Intelligencer's correspondent himself
admits that a referendum sentiment
does exist among the miners OF a
certain mine. which is evidence that
q spirit of concession has gained a
foothold. IL is easy to be seen that
our Rush Run correspondent is at
tached 20 the radical element In this
unfortunate labor struggle. and Il is
this element opposed to an equally
radical element among the operators
that prevents an amicable settlement
OF the existing differences. We take
the liberty of reminding our CORE
spondent that no great question or
problem has ever been satisfactorily
adjusted without mutual concessions
Two forces approaching from oppo-
site directions on the same plane Is
hound to result in injury to both. and
that seems to be the situation in the
present Ohio strike controversy. and
so long as radicalism rules on both
sides there can be no hope Of relief.
The Intelligencer believes. however.
that there is a conservative leaven
working in the strike field. which. IL
IL can only be heard. would In time
leaven the whole. Something Of this
spirit was manifested in the commu-
nication Of a Bellaire miner to an
evening paper. who said: at Is time
that whoever is In the wrong. whether
miners or operators. should lay all
feeling of animosity aside and get
together to settle this strike; that H..
in order that the right should pre-
vail" He suggests that the miners
and their officials hold a mass meet
ing and that a full and free discus
sion OF the technical differences might
result in happy conclusion. II the
conservative forces OF both sides 70
this controversy could be brought to-
Eether The Intelligencer Is confident
that some Roadway could be made to-
ward clearing away the obstacles that
stand in the way of just settlement
OF the strike. But so long as radical.
ism is maintained we can see but
little chance Of a rift in the clouds
that now hang over a very deplorabie
winter prospect.
