Show EXPEREWENTINQ ,WITH STRIKES IN THIS COUNTRY It Is a well known principle of I. W. W.lsm to bring about a striko by any means whatever. Strikes means disorder, bitterness, tlrlfo, losses to workers and employers employ-ers and destruction of industry, j There Is ovldonce says the St. Louis Times that certain union leaders lead-ers nro experimenting In strikes and a striko is n most dangorouo thing with which to experiment. Tho walkout of tho telegraphers seems to havo been ordered with llttlo regard to tho strength of tho union or tho nttltudo of niembeis. Tho striko has resulted merely in confusion, 111 feeling, congestion and general chaos. I The union Is not making Its point and it is encouraging public disapproval disap-proval through its Interference with .business. ' I Where a'unlon Is able to gather but a halt heaited support from Its members or workers tho public Immediately Im-mediately scents the tlngo or experiment experi-ment in tho strike order nnd balks not at tho theory of the strike but at the haphazard manner of its conduct and the resulting anonyance. The national telephone strike was oidercd postponed for reasons which wero commendatory. But some union un-ion leaders ordered a walkout and with nothing to bo gained, caused untold turmoil nnd business conges-.tlon conges-.tlon on tho wires. Trying to force nnd terrorize the country by strikes Is too closely nl-.llod nl-.llod with the former kaisor's method lot trying to terrorize the world it can't be done and the public will turn against a system which causes' it so much suffering and Inconven-J lence, Just ns It turned against militarism. mili-tarism. J The Scnttlo and Winnipeg rovolu-' tlons havo mado the publlo tHnk and union labor has suffered much as a1 result. |
