To the Bitter End

Seattle -Intelligencer.)
 The Canadian sympathetic strike carried to its logical concuson-failure. The advocates of the general sympathetic strike longer assert that their tactics industrial war have not been given fair trial From the technical viewpoint the strike was almost all that could be reasonably de- sired The response of the organized workers was general, not alone in Winnipeg but throughout the Domln1on Outside of Winnipeg there was no re- course to martial law and in Winnipeg the mounted police were only called in during the later days, when the desperation of failure made the strikers ugly. For all practical purposes the general strike was fought out with economic and political weapons and the result should be convincingly conclusive. From simple, legitimate and perhaps entirely ustifiable strike the conflict progressed the point of revolu tion. For month past it has been a strike against the Canadian government, and the government has
 The sympathetic strike is inherently wrong, and furthermore, has inherent weaknesses which al most certain to make it end in failure. It may fail in three days it may fail in six weeks but long as the public is forcibly made party to dis pute which it did not precpitate and in which interest, the public must and will resist the strik CTS The public is unorganized in the the strikers are organized but it has organized govern ment behind it which is in duty bound to protect il and see that the public about it's lawful affairs In peace and safety. When the issue lies between the strikers and the government it lies between the srik and the public and unless the strikers can mand majority of the public they hope win their point by no other means than violence directed is revolution Only in Russia has this done sue cessfuly. and that success for the workers quick y dissipaed by the prevailing dictatorship that was not equaled in the days of Ivan the Terrible
 The strike is an economic weapon and should be used economically. Had organized labor in Canada backed the Winnipeg metal workers economically with the unanimy and generosity which they showed Tn striking for them, it is difficult to see how the metal workers could have been anything but victor ous Instead, labor backed them militantly and for the last month the battle has been one over terms Of l surrender
 The sympathetic strike in the last analysis be comes question of starvation The strikers strive to impose their will by refusing to produce and re fusing to allow any one else to produce hut in thc complex society in which live there is no way Of starving any one class. We must all starve together hn hunp uhoto,. olner inconvenience he may create. He, too must suffer He can rock the boat, capsze it if he will but, on the whole, he swim no better than any else. '

 With normal construction totang nearly billion and three quarters dollars. held by the war; and with steady increase .mdkhwhile in population the United States is than year behind in its building requirements in respect to residences, public works and railroads says the National Bank of Com merce in New York in reviewing the building and construction outlook in its magazine Commerce Monthly for July The situation is described by the bank as a complication brought about by unpre- cedented shortage of houses high building costs and the diversion capital from residential building pur pose. The bank says:
 With regard to residential construction
 difficult financial situation exists
 suit of high costs of the materials and labor
 coupled with the diversion into other chan
 nels of capital which would ordinarily
 into this class of building operations There
 is little prospect for decline of building
 costs but the building shortage must be
 met. Although expansion is in evidence the
 full solution seems to require that prospec-
 tive builders themselves carry larger share
 of the building costs than has been custo-
 mary in the past,
 During the greater part of the period

 strictions limited building and construction

 tion projects given favorable consid-
 erations only if of military importance
 The dominant factor in relation to building short age, Commerce Monthly says, is the growth in popu- lation which, although checked in this country by the allingYoft 4immigratiOn, losses and in fuenza, nevertheless probably increased from soo,- 900 to ,O00 0t0 during 1918. We now are in need of sufficient building, the bank says, to take care of portion of the population increase of 1917 provided for in the building program of 1918 and, in addition, take of the increase in 1918 The war, it says, stimulus to indus trial construction, produced over-building in some directions but this excess that the need for it is passed, in all be adapted to ordin ary requirements.

cations are that there will be
very little change in the situation
during December and the use of
storage coal will result in contin-
ued light shipments from the
mines.
The passenger travel during
the month of November was
light. This was in large part
due 10 influenza epidemic. The
cessation of troop movements to
ports of embarkation also had its
effect upon passenger earnings.
The work of rehabilitation
which is now in progress means
a heavy movement from canton
ments. Additional facilities and
ticket sellers have been installed
to handle the movement.
After the dining car service
had been in effect a month the
chief passenger traffic officers of
lines in this region were asked to
develop how the service is re-
garded by the public. Their sre-
ports indicate general approval
of the change from Ia carte to
to table d'hote lunchecns and din
ners. One road for instance, ad-
vises that in October they served
81. $50 table d'hote meals, and
during that time received but
four complaints from passengers
who stated they preferred la
carte service. Of course, this
does not indicate that all the bal
ance prefer table d'hote service,
but the fact that only this incon-
sequential number expressed dis
approval of the change shows
quite clearly that it has been re-
ceived with poplar favor.
