AS we view the Charlotte situation
from the angle of the people, the
outside people, interested neither in
the employees or the employers ex-
cept in the most general way, the
strikers had perfect right to quit
their jobs, and it was nobody's busi-
ness what influence prompted them
to quit. Though when they exceed
ed that very perfect right, which no
one will deny them. and attempted
violence, attempted interference with
other workmen, they not only violat-
ed obligations to society but violated
also the law, union or no union, re-

look upon the strike in Charlotte and
subsequent events. the union or the
demands of the employees. have ceased
to be the issue.
When mems nerves are strung up
to banjo string proportions, IT is
easy to excite, and the tension at the
Charlotte car barns on Monday night
was so high. that the single firing
of a revilver brought action from
dozens of others. That's the whole
situation, as we see it. Aside from
the cause which brought the crowds
to the barns. it may be said that the
riot the killing of five persons and
the wounding Of more than dozen
others. was caused by the breaking
of nerves after day OF exciting
events.
This does not alleviate the suffer-
ing that has been brought to the
families of the men killed or settle
the questions involved between en-
ployer and employe. but it does serve
to show how utterly foolish it is to
set a match to a tinder house. and

CHARLOTTE'S VIOLENCE.

The unfortunate occurrence in Char
lotte Monday night in which fvel
men lost their lives is regretted not
only in Charlotte but in the entire |
section. 1t was one of those Incl
dents where people were swept off
their feet in the rush OF excitement
and lost their heads entirely. False
leadership Of the laboring men may
have been the cause. as the Charlotte
Observer says. or lack Of wise cOun-
sci may have precipitated the trouble /
whose lives were sacrificed, the loss
is great and to the outsiders who are
permitted to look in on the matter
in q general view, the clash of work
men and their employers, or rather
the authorities is a matter of great
concern. The development Of the
riot was the natural sequence of the
doctrine that has been preached to
local labor by the foreign influencesl
which have come into this COM
munity." the Observer says. The
people of the city have been brought
into better appreciation of the bancl
ful effects of this doctrine. which is
not the sort the local labor unions
have stood for. for which we do not
ment is set against it is manifest I'M
the fact that yesterday and last night
hundreds of Charlotte citizens drop
ped their business affairs to take up
arms and patrol the treets in main
tenance of law and order. The bust
ness organizations of the city have
gone on record against the sort of
unionism that has been imported into
the city and there is determination
that this character OF agitation shall
be suppressed.
The AFFAIR at the car barns Is toI
be depiored from every standpoint.
General sympathy goes out to the
families Of the victims, but in calm
and clear analysis OF causes and con-
ditions, it is apparent that they were
victims O! False leadership the lead
ership that through misrepresenta-
tion and incitation OF class feeling
wrought up the people to a state Of
mind which led them on under the
i'm pulse that nothing was to be gained
except through violence. Thousan nds

The Observer this morning for what
1t might have to say OF the trouble.
This paper believes II may speak in
behalf OF the great body Of organized
labor in this community as well as
ia all parts OF the State when 1t says
that the organized labor is not in
sym oathy with doctrines which have
been preached in Charlotte and which
has served to disrupt the friendly re-
IdtiOns which had existed for years
past. II could give this labor advice
seeing the state OF affairs which the
following Of this doctrine has brought
about. that it would serve its own
hH"s the better by a return to the
same friendly and cordial basis of
relationship that prevailed before the
precipitation Of the present unfortun-
ate conditions. We have heard many
expressions that these leaders should
be driven out of town. That is not
the practical way. 1t is for organized
labor that has been wronged. to rid
itself of this influence and come back
