Great barcainx. lation is choked without a moment't nottoa. Thousands of the peoplo of this city awl eli irbere are subjected to the deepest distrain, in convenience, and persona! damage, and such ii the detriment for the time twing to business snd property that the conspirators might as well have taken the torch in their hands at once and added pillage anil destruction to their act. The motto of the Knights of Labor is evidently "The public bo damned :" It is not so long ago since The Sun frothed over in oft recurring bursts of righteous indignation at the late presi-dent of this fat headed corporation, grown saucily rich from the underpaid, over-worked toil of its myriad workmen, for using the very expression it now flaunts as tho motto of the K. of L., and The Hun would concede, if it only darod be honest enough, that the policy of this corporation today is, as it has been in the past, "The public and the workingmfcu be d " The New York Herald's dis-interested little lecture is so fashioned: It is said by the strikers that the removals were jiade became the railway nianagors have resolved to employ no members of labor organizations. We see no evidence to confirm this statement Nor does it seem plausible. The Vandnrbllt people would perhaps prefer to have their employes avoid "unions," find their firmest basis of union in harmony with their masters and comrades, and see in the Justice ud wisdom of a well gov-erned corporation an assurance of better things than any 'brotherhood" could give. We cannot but feel that the strike Is unneces-sary, and that the sympathy of the public should go out to those whose kindness to their employes has become a proverb. , Take off your hats and bow low to your masters, ye brawny toilers. For do they not give you work, not that they may become rich and loll in luxury, but that you may earn your bread bV.he ' sweat of your brow? Avoid unions, do, and then see the master's soft white hand grip yo by the throat in iron grasp and choke yo into dull submission. Proverbial kindness, forsooth! Aye, ask the unfortunates who havo received the dreaded blue envelopes, and they will tell you all about the feelings of despair har-- rowed up by the receipt of one of these blacklisting, thief branding documents so liberally bestowed through the "kind--j news" of this philanthropic corporation. The real nice New York Evening Post said: The strike on tho New York Central railroad thut went into effuct without previous notice, leaving hundreds of men, women and children stranded, bewildered, and unable to reach their dcKtlualions or to communicate with their friends, was a raw, cruel, and indefensible assault upon the public. It is to be presumed that according to tho ethics of these and similar journals it was all right and defensible when the workmen, simply because they belonged to a labor organization, Rnd dared to raise their voices in an effort to better their bad enough condition, were in-stantly discharged to discourage such "dastardly" conduct in the future. It is presumably also all right when a great corporation locks out its workers without a moment's notice because they will not accept a reduction to enable larger dividends to be paid. But there are some people alive who think that certain coal barons, mill lords and railroad corporations would have done better, and been more merci-ful, too, had they taken the torch in their hands, a la The Sun's suggestion, than to have inflicted on their locked out and black listed employes the untold anguish of beart (for they have hearts, though they be only workingmen) en-gendered by the sight of innocent, pinch ed faced babes and wives suffering from hunger, cold and despair. But evidently, according to these jour-nals, there is a vast difference between a strike and a lockout. A strike is a conspiracy of ignorant, socialistic work-men. A lockout is the unalienable, militia-backed-u- p right of a corporation to manage its own affairs free from out-sid- o dictation. Pile on the burdens thick and fast goad on! In terror soou you'll find you've put too big a load on. New York. Geo. F. Murray. MOLD WITH GRITTY SAND." Samples of the Work of New Vork't "Mohlori of Public Opinion." Special Gorrenpondeiiiv If thero is any one thing that inspires a fooling of disgust in im impartial ob-server it is the attitude that tho "mold-er- s of public opinion" jump over each other in thoir haste to assume when-ever a strike of great moment oc-curs. Hardly had the wheels of the. Central been stopped before they,' as usual, belched forth their malignant strictures on the "dastardly" con-duct of the "conspirators." A trio of examples will suffice. Quoth The New York Sun, which is advertised t shine for all: - - Without disturbing the lueriU of tlie origin: controversy in tlie least, the essential nature oi the relation borne to the public by such an insti-tution as tbo Knight of Labor was forcibly shown at the Grand Central station and along tha line of the New York Ontrul railroad A great and. essential and teajina artery ofjbumau ein:i organization, and that If they did It would punish them by dopriving them of their means of livelihood? Hold onl We are not done with this yet. Do not state and municipal governments have tho power to compel common carriers to respect the righto of the public and to perform their duties to the public or for-feit thoir charters? Then does not the power rest somewhere to compel them to respect another right of one part of the public, i. e., the right to peaceably and lawfully combine? If this reasoning is objected to the following is offered as a compromise: Let a law be enacted de-claring that no railroad or other char-'tere- d corporation shall be entitled to the service of tho police or military in any contest with employes when such contest has grown' out of the corpora-tion's interference with the exercise of its employes' right to belong to any law-ful organization. Of course in diffi-culties in which the question of wages alone was involved the night sticks and muskets could bo brought out ; but a strike in defense of the rights of American would havo to be fougbt out between the invaders and defenders. It is quite common for those writers on labor questions whoso environments influence them in thedirection of capital's side of every coutest to assert that strikes in a majority of cases are fail-ures, and long strings of ligures are fre-quently presented to show tho working-men'- s losses. A few facts on this ques-tion may bo of interest. In the seventh annual report of tho. New York Stato Bureau of Statistics of Labor tho fol-lowing figures are givon: Strikes from 18M to ISfcsO, inclusive, 0,223; successful, 2.;)33; partly successful or compromised, 1,104; unsuccessful, 1,780. There were iu the same five years 598 threatened strikes that is, demands which if not conceded would bo backed np by strikes. Of these 520 were successful, 27 partly successful or compromised and 51 un-successful. In tho face of these facts, presented by a legal representative of the state, does it not look absurd to con-tend that strikes are failures? Again, even those Btriicos which are set down as unsuccessful cannot be counted as fail-ures. Every protest made by labor, oven if practical benefits do not always accrue at once, is a blast upon the horn of freedom whether it sounds the notes of victory or temporary defeat. Tho cloakmakers of New York city waited only long enough to realize that they had won a victory in their strike for an advance in wages and then buckled on their armors afresh for a fray with a more dangerous foo than even low wages. Tho contractors, which in this cas3 is tho genteel naino for "sweaters," stand between the real wage payer and the workman, and the cloak-make-decidod that this middle man, who has been plucking both tho eagle and the hen, must go. Thero is no rea-son why tho cloakmakers should not work directly for the manufacturers without the intervention of the contract-ors, and receive in full tho price, paid for cloakm.'tking. , Tho union has como to this conclusion at any rate, and already great progress has been made in estab-lishing shops and in obtain-ing work direct from tho manufacturers. President Qompers informs mo that tho circular calling an international con-gress of labor to convene in Chicago in 1HU3 has already met with several favor-able responses from European organiza-tions. At the next meeting of the Amer-ican Federation of Labor this subject will receive special attention, and efforts will be put forth to make tho assem-blage in 1893 one that will bring practi-cal resultB in many matters which lire of great importance to tho American aud Europoan workingmen. Jos. It. Buchanan. TRAINSSiW NOTRE Some Plain Talk on the Thrice Important Subject of Eailroad Strikes and Strikers. HOW PUBLIC SENTIMENT IS MADS. And What it Amounts to How Abont '," " the Eight of the Wronged. ' Measured by the interest manifested by press and public tho most important event of the year in labor circles is tho Now York Contral striko. It should lie of the deepest importance to organized railway employes, for it has proved co-nclusivelyif proof were wanting that in only one v:;y can railway companies be compelled to concede the demands of those in their employ. The chief busi-ness of railroading is the operation of trains; every other branch of tho busi-ness is simply subsidiary. So long as a company can run its trains, or any con-siderable portion of them, its striking employes are lighting a losing battle, Of course everybody knows this, and I . am not imparting news iu Btating it here. But while it is known to every one railroad strikes are gonerally called and conducted under circumstances and in such a way as to make one think the strikers and their leaders are wholly ig- - norant on this point. The history of strikes of railway men, from 1877 down to the present time, pre-sents a list of defeats very rarely brokeu by the record of a victory, and in every case defeat was due to lack of assurance before the strike was ordered that the elements necessary to prevent the opera-tion of trains were controllable, or be-cause the couragoto use them was want-ing during tho strike. The Union Pacific strikes of May 1 and Aug. 15, 1884, wero exceptions. In tho first of these strikes the men were completely unorganized, but thoy had the courage to stop the running of all but the mail trains, and the company very wisely yielded in a few days. At tho time of the August strike the men had matters in snchshapo ;that it only took the officials forty eight hours to learn that the trains wonld not be permitted to run until the demands cf their employes wore recognized. j ' ' In a majority of cases too much has been left to bo settled after the Btrike was on. Certain departments have struck without any hope of winning un-aided by tho men in other departments, but foolishly trusting that the justice of their cause would win at the proper time the of these others. Disappointment has almost invariably followed. Too much reliance has also been placed in leaders, chiefs and execu-tive committees. These, unless directly concerned at the inception of tho diffi-culty, almost always turn out to bo very conservative and unwilling to accept tho chance of sharing in u defeat. In times of trouble many high officials in labor-do-develop suddenly great respect for "the autonomy of the local." But the greatest of all stumbling blocks In the way of tho workihgmau protesting for his rights is that bugaboo called ' 'pub-lic sentiment." It is u which has lod many a well founded striko into the slough of defeat. "If you don't allow tho trains to run you will incon-venience thousands, and then public sen-timent will be against you," is what yon Bay. You are mistaken; tho public hasn't any "sentiment." What you have taken for it has been the ranting of subsidized editors, whoso whole aim is to misrepre-sent you and frighten you. Take tho Now York daily press during the New York Central strike. With ouo exception the prominent paper of the city began a campaign of misrepresentation aud bulldozing on the second day of tho strike. Their local columns wero filled with garbled ac-counts and gross falsehoods intended to discourage tho friends of the strikers. t President Dupew has not been filling tho big editors up with wino and taffy for nothing. He knew when he ran off: to Europe to avoid tho troublo that whs sure to follow tho carrying out of tho scheme to oust the Knights from tho Central that tho press would sea to it that "public sentiment" went the right way. Ono can ulmost see the sparkle of Chauncey's chainpagno in the eyes of tho editor who writes about the corpora-tion "whose generosity and goodness to its employes has become a proverb." So long as "public sentiment" is man-ufactured by tho subsidized agents of corporations it is not entitled to the con-sideration of any work-ingma- n. Strong language? So it is, but who will say it has not tho ring of tmth in it? Implios a great deal? No, thero Is no hidden meaning. Tho point is just this: The man who lays down his tools, und thereby cuts off his income, should feel absolutely sure that his cause is a just ono, and be ready to do and dare for it, for generally thero are innocent women and children dependent upon him, and tho time may soon come to him when the cries of wife and children will be more terrible in his ears than tlie howling of tho manufacturers of "pub-lic sentiment." What has "public sentiment" to say con-cerning the massing of hordes of cut-- , throat and thieves known as ''Pinlcerton detectives" wherever workingmen make a stand for thoir rights? These offscour-ings of creation strut or stagger about public places, armed like highwaymen, threatening and frequently jeopardizing the lives of those whom they como near, and the great editors aro silent. Only the workingmen and a few "cranks" protest, and they are not recognized as 'that part of the "public" which has "sontiment." We do a great deal of. boasting about the "rights" guaranteed every Ameri-can citizen, iu the exercise of which each one is supposed to have the protec-tion of the law. Suppose we do a little thinking on this head. Is is now pretty gonerally conceded that workmen iu America have tho right to organize for mutual advantage and protection. It is also understood that a corporation has the right to conduct its business in its own way so long as itrtloes not go con-trary to law or infringe upon the rights of others. Did not the New York Cen-tral Railroad company exceed its rights when it declared that the men in its em-Blo- jr should not belonir to 3 certain labor Three Hours Is Enough. In Australia the labor organizations havo secured the eight hour day, with a half holiday on Saturday, aud now they are agitating for a sevon hour day, with no work on Saturday. Tho explanation given by the labor leaders is that they want to make a bigger demand for men, as tho Australian labor market is over-stocked. Exchange. Just I. Ike New York. Tho most horrible evidenco respecting tho way the poor are housed in tho largo towns pales before a recent case of over-crowding in a village near Bridgewator. It was givon iu evidenco that the de-fendant, an old laborer, with his wife, two daughters and eleven illegitimate children belouging to tho daughters, were herded in a hovel containing ouo room H by 1) feet and (1 foot 0 inches high, another 13 by 9 feet and a garret above, reached by a ladder. There was no ceiling to one of tho rooms and no casements to any of the windows, and the only water supply was from a neigh-boring ditch, into which tho sewago of the premises ran. Such is lifo in some of their country villages, "where health and plenty cheer the laboring swain." London Truth. Tlie Coiumuiiweulth. To put the case in a nutshell, the work-ingmen of America must either own, through tho government, the soil, the capital and tho machinery, or those who by cunning and fraud have possessed themselves of these things will own the labor also.

Kolllccl tho l.nbur Question. E. K. Watson, cashier of tho State Central bank of Waco, Texas, registered at the Grand Pacific. "We havo overcome the labor ques-tion," he remarked in conversation with a reporter, "by importing negroes from North Carolina. Our firm, which has 1.JJ00 acres in cotton, hired two car loads of hands for its own lands, and brought out four car loads for the use of neigh-bors who were willing to share in the ex-periment. We have succeeded so well that we have already made arrangements to ship in eight car loads next year." Chicago Tribune. After wrestling with tho subject for lis weeks the city council of St. Paul passed the following resolution: "That on aud after Aug. 15 eight hours .onstitnte a day's work for all mechan-ics, clerks and laborers employed by the city." ' Pittsburg's labor hosts will observe Labor Day this year for the first time. William Weihe, president of the Amal-gamated Association of Iron and Steol Workers, will be tho grand marshal. Mr. Weihe is the largost man iu the labor movement in this country, and will tower at the head of the procession. Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 1, will be observed more generally this year than ever before. The day is recognized now as a legal holiday in fourtean states. |
