Show A GRAVE SITUATION The industrial army situation at Ogden remains in statu quo It cannot remain so for long The men will have to be removed The return to California is not hiker to be the way out of the difficulty For though the court has issued an Injunction and an order on the Southern Pacific company it will probably be disobeyed or delayed and oven if the company showed a willingness willing-ness to honor it the men will probably ruse to go back as they have started for Washington and when they move it will be towards the east There are two ways for this to be done Either by their conveyance on the UnIon Pacific line or their march on foot toward their destination Cox cys army travel in that way and this wing is no better than that They cannot can-not be permitted to remain much longer quartered on the hospitality of the people peo-ple of Ogden and the Governor cannot be a party to a movement to forward them wnd puL them on the soil of a neighboring state But the citizens may take steps to aid in sending the men by rail to a point outside this territory and nat would be the cheapest and easiest way out of the difficulty It is not as if Utah had originated this scheme It was started in California The Executive of that state lent himself t the plan to get rid of a host of idle men and the Southern Pacific people joined in the plot The men have been forced upon this territory and if the people here in selfdefense should do something to push them forward if they cannot be sent backward small blame could be attached to them But the arrangement if effected should be made by the Southern Pacific or by the army using such aid as may be tendered ten-dered them In suggesting this The Herald does not endorse any movement < to land these misguided people at the national capital cap-ital The idea behind the whole movement move-ment is wild and springs from a misconception miscon-ception of the functions and powers of the national government But the scattering scat-tering of those men in the east would be a very different thing to their presence pres-ence in Ogden or in any part of this territory whore they would be a menace men-ace to the public peace The Governor has taken the proper and consistent course The court has done its duty also The great difficulty is the inability so far as appears at present to enforce the order of court and compel the army to return It could not be done probably without a resort to arms and that could only be justified in a great extremity The situation is grave indeed and we see ro peaceful solution of the difficulty but that which we have suggested It is a time for the exercise of the greatest wisdom and patience and rash counsels must not be permitted to prevail I |
