>AnEssoN IN STRIKES.

The radical element in the ranks of
organized labor may learn a valuable
lesson from the strike in the steel
mills. If the leaders of the steel
strike had possessed due regard for
the general public, they would at least
have postponed action until after the
meeting of the industrial conference
now being held.
President Wilson made an appeal
to the railroad employees which was
broad enough to include all classes.
for patience and cooperation while
the government gave its best efforts
| to stabilize conditions. The railroad
then appealed directly to the labor
leaders who were contemplating this
strike, asking that they postpone it
until after the meeting of the confer
ence which he had called.
| 1t is under these conditions that
radical leaders have forced this strike
They were under no necessity of act
ing at this time. There was no criti-
cal situation. The men had lived I'M
years, and might have lived under
them at least for time longer. No
| issues have arisen which the strikers
have not created themselves, and at a
time when they were more faVorably
situated than at any other time in the
history of their industry. and above
almost every other class of wage
earners in the country. Evidently the
strike managers have lAoked upon the
critical state of world affairs without
any interest in the common welfare
or any sense of responsibility as citi-
zens, but as affording an opportunity
for them to obtain further advantages
under the threat of increasing the
disorder.
The type of these strike-leaders is
revealed in book on "Syndicalism.' "
OF which Earl C. Ford and William
z. Foster appear as joint authors
(Foster is in general charge of the
strike in the Pittsburg district Fol

YOUTHFUL DREAMS
oh. keep your love of simple things,
The roses and the; sky: setf
Play listener when the robin siDgsN
And when the band goes by:
Let neither yellow gold nor fame,
Nor all the worlds success,
DespoA the joys you used to claim
For they are happiness.
Be quick to note friendly smile,
Be glad to walk with men:
The Joys you trade for pomp and style
VIII seldom come again;
Be gentle you go your way
And, tho you gather gold,
Don't let your loves of yesterday
Within your heart grow cold.
II as boy you loved the sky,
Still love Ii o man:
Don't let your youthful fancies die,
But keep them while you can.
II once you loved the flowers which grew
Beside cottage door.
Tho wealth and fame have come to you,
Still love them as before
For II you lose your dreams OF old,
You'll walk with solemn face
And find that neither fame nor gold
Can ever take their place;
And you shall tire of wealth and fame
And long once more to see,
And wonder why you cannot claim
The joys which used to be.

Investigation of the conspiracy
among Arkansas negroes which it is
alleged contemplated a general mas

show that the I. w. w. are the instiga-

which probably will be administered in
the customary southern style.
