LII iE......

shoramens strike has ended, The
five weeks during which it lasted
have been five weeks of folly. Sew
eral persons were killed as a result
of disorder and rioting, nearly two
hundred injured, the strikers have
lost tens of thousands of dollars in
wages and the port has been de-
prived of business running into the
millions. And what has been the
result of all this warfare? The
men return to work without any
material change in wages or working
conditions. The most provoking
feature Of this business lies in the
fact that the men have been neither
underpaid ncr overworked-at least
not so far as the ordinary citizens
understands the situation.
The worst part Of the strike has
been the7 disregard Of the rights OF
the public. The men injured their
cause by either participating in VIC
lencc or permitting others to en-
cauc in force without rebuke.
1t must be pretty clear by this
time that force and bloodshed can
not be tolerated in civilized COM
munity. To say anything else would
be to admit that our form of gov
crnmcnt is failure, and no Amer
lean will be willing to make that
