Show How "Pinkertonism" Originated. St. Paul Pioneer-Fss. The Pinkerton force Tas created to meet just such emergencies as arose at the Carnegie Carne-gie works. That agency first began to furnish furn-ish companies of armed guards when the employers of labor were compelled to ask for them, in order that their property might be saved from destruction at the hands of former employes. Before that time came thousands and million dollars worth of valuable property had vanished van-ished before the revengeful 6triker. Everywhere Every-where the succession of events was the same. Employes either demanded an increase of wages or refused to accept a decrease. They struck; and then their first act in many cases '.was to attack the property of their former employers, and to make murderous assaults upon the persons of any men offering to take their places. This is not tho story of an isolated case. It is the story of scores upon scores of strikes ever since the organization of labor became general. In a great multitude multi-tude of cases private property was not safe from the striker, nor could thn wnrlinir man who preferred to remain outside of the unions enjoy safety of life or limb. Every great strike has been accompanied by violence on the part of men who had voluntarily volun-tarily left the employ of those whose property prop-erty they sought to ruin. And nearly always al-ways the public authorities either refused to protect the property and person of those assaulted or came to their "assistance with such feebleness as to be a mark for the merriment mer-riment of the riotous strikers. This, then, was the choice offered to every employer of labor when labor became dissatisfied dis-satisfied and chose to cease. Either he j could yield to any demands, however un- j reasonable, or ho could go out of business altogether, or he could see his property wrecked and burned by vengeful hands before be-fore his very eyes without adequate protection protec-tion from the proper authorities. It was only when the choice had been made numberless num-berless times that capital sought, in self-defense, the assistance of the Piukerton force. i |
