Labor’ 3 critic goes further. He not only says that men have no right to strike, but that when they do sm'ke, their aim is to injure the commun- ity He speaks of their action as a. “conspiracy against [the industrial welfare of the country ” His lan- guage would lead the umnfotmed to suppose that striking workmen m According to an article from the Finance Chronicle and published else- where in this issue. the man who joins a labor union is one sort of individual that ought. if possihlatobesuppres- sed. If. however, that :journal’s con- ‘clusions are no better than the logic b\ which they are reached, it may be that the union man may still be sum red to be abroad. If the reason- ing of this financial paper, is the reasoning of capital in general con: cerning labor. the time is not near when these two great elements “ill get along am better together than ‘thc3 do today. With all its faults and fallacies. organized labor is like 1y not more illogical than the article by which it is sought to annihilate its right to exist. 11' capital is not more rational in its negbtiations with labor than in its utterances about it. there is little wonder that at. times labor has recourse to the logic of bullets and clubs. At the outset the- writer of that article sets out to settle the whole matter by proving that a body of men have no right to strike at all. One man may strike, but what for that single striker in his splendid and ineffectual isolation. is perfectly harmless, becomes, when done by his numerous conferes, an unpardonable crime. To hold this remarkable po- sition the ,writer hesitates not to set at nought the philosopher's Opinion that a crime cannot be created by multiplying innocent actions. .That dictum, says labor’s critic, is nonâ€" sense. So is the reasoning by which it is refuted. One man, says he. may get onto a. horse's back with- out sin. but if twenty men get onto the animal," they are doing wrong ; therefore one innocent action can be multiplied until it becomes a crime. It has not struck the writer that twenty times one man on one horse’s back, is not twenty men on'one horse’s back, but twenty men on twenty horses. So you can multiply one man getting onto the horse, by twenty and still have no sin : to say that multiplying that innocent action by twenty or any other number can make an immoral action, is absurd. If you multiply your innocent indi- vidual standing in a doorway by twenty, you only have twenty like 'him standing in a. score of doorways. Twenty times the man who is‘ justi- fied in refusing to peddle his bread, if 5Ust twenty men justified in refus- mg t0 Peddle bread ; and with the persons withdrawing their money from the bank, multiplication can do no m e ' - cent unci: is 33?: 32:11:89 ,thl‘: Hmo- ut a. seere without sin. Hence “A crim- a] act cannot be generated by the ultiplication of acts that are perâ€" feftly Innocent”; nor is it “triflzng W1“! words to say that because one man has the right to abstain from work in Providing coal. therefore 140 ,000 men have this right n Thus is our philosopher rescued and organ-1 . ized labor incidentally given a leg up Mathematics does not disallow its right to strike.

That is a very proper thing to do, and wholly avoids the offen- siveness of those whose gifts entail the undue prominence of their family names. No community needs gifts less than this : none more thoroughâ€" ly appreciates the good will that prompts them. nor would more promptly refuse them when that meâ€" tive was mixed with others not so ex, record a corporation recer valves the exaltati‘ family name, its ht plete.

All threo propositions are untrue, and of that spirit and reasoning. that wtrange and embitter the workingman. and widen the chasm that already yawn: between capital and labor. ; strike occurs. It can be ended by either one ; if it continues. it is be- cause neither will yield. To end the stnike is quite as much within the power of the capitalist as of the workingman. Because that is so, the responsibility for the strike must rest on both. If neither yields, it is be- cause he regards it too great a. sac- rifice for him to make, even to ~endv the evils that the strike entails. Why the employe yield ? Why not the em- ployer ? One is as likely to be in the right as the other : and nothing but prejudice or malice can charge all the evils of the strike on either one._ So then what of our champion of capitalism ? He held that men have! Nor must the whole blame for these evils be placed on the strikers. In attempting to place it upon them the writer in the Finance Chronicle does the union men another injustice.
