PRUssIAN PRINCIPLE IN INDUSTRY REBuKED

The Triple Alliance had it within its power up all indus
W and business in England causing neaeuabe economic loss and
radical wing OF the miners had had their way all the members
the three huge organizations would gone strike
Friday but the leaders OF the transport and railway Workers
much discussion and maneuycrng refused by the miners
because they believed the the wrong declining
treat further with The mine owners The miners still and
kaa faces very serious conditions result but the general
strike by which planned to force the acceptance OF their
demands is averted
Regardless Of the merits OF the controversy between the
miners and the mine il the transport and railway workers
had seen fit TO the which they possess they could have
brought about situation which would have been
the extreme matter what the government might have
used to mitigate its consequences The miners bent upon
having their about dispute and were ready
throw and right the winds settling b brute force
believing that with all the forces OF the Triple Alliance backing
them they could win out but fortunately Tor England and for
not prepared to stand upon the russan platform that might
crucial moment The radicals among the British miners were
simply seeking apply industry the principle which
IIohenzolern attempcd 70 pacticc when tbev aIerod ;
zation and precptated the world 1t principle
universally popular and very successfully pacticed in bar
barc and still held by many whose minds are swayed
by ideas and emotions that dominant in days when
were less civilized than they now, but it's deakne
sounded when the German army the formidable machine
which the doctrine OF right devised do its
bidding ground pieces by the forces Of right and freedom
The Pussian principle failed in international politics when the
test and failed in industry when the British miners
their employers
The Pruan idea in industry whether epoused by labor or
capital IS doomed to go the OF the ohenzoern doctrine
international relations Any class OF attempting apply it

must eventually discover that they playing losing game
because they going against mmuabc laws OF and
right which will finally compel them pay the penalty their
ghtedness ignorance and folly Organized great
America and all civilized countries organized capital
everywhere has vast power but either when
attempts make the principle of brute aber

CARNATIONS and likewise in the eaptaistc camp generally
ready to counsel force conservative leaders both sides
know there better way the way Of and that all par
ties to every controversy stand lose If adjustments are
worked in accordance with the principle right Both sides
may well have care before making the appeal force
With all business and industry going through period of
adjustment made by upheava resulting from world
war labor organizations attempting
mic laws when they declare they will submit wage
tons and will carry their resistance the point of With
the oil the farmers products and all products
sinking to lower levels inevitably must follow the
course all classes sharing the eadusnen the principle OF

complete all along the line To to hold
back prevent Of the readusment program being
carried accordance with laws which inherent in the
economic structure only result delaying return of the
conditions which make for the welfare all classes with con
tnued loss to all in the meantime That there limit which
radical labor leaders may 60 with safety their interests
and the welfare OF their organizations forcby indicated
by the experience of the British miners trade
unions which have permitted the radical element
may well learn this lesson
