PROGRESS OR RETROGRESSION?
A few days ago a Judge ia ?>?* j
Moines, la., granted the request o< U4
city government for an order sending
the strikiug street railroad men of
that town back to work on the old
terms and directiug the railroad com
pany to receive them. The order
wad obeyed, although It started a
legal fight which may be carried far
and may have interesting and import
aiu results, says the Cleveland Lead
er.
In this case the cause of the strike
was not a dispute about wages or
other conditions of employment. A
couductor had been discharged when
accused of knocking down" fares,
and his fellow workers Insisted that
he must have a hearing before losing
his place. Temporarily, at least, he
got his old job, and threefore the
strikers had no raeson to refuse to
obey the order A the court.
Labor leaders in l>es Moines hailed
this novel settlement? for the time
being?of a strike which began with
many sigus of serious trouble, as a
noteworthy victory. Samuel Gompers
president of the American Federation
of Labor says that it is a blow to
trades unions and to wage earners.
Some outside students of economic
questions call it progress; others
disagree with them. Certainly the
question is two sided.
That this is so is amply proved o>
the recent strike of the employes of
the State-owned railroads of France.
It is likely to be demonstrated again
by the strike on the municipal street
railroad system of Glasgow, Scotland.
The French government ordered
out the army reserves in the dis
tricts most affected by the strike.
That made the strikers soldiers un
der military discipline. Then they
were ordered to run the trains as
usual, and they dared not refuse.
Disobedience would have meant mu
tiny and that might mean death. In
Glasgow the strike on the oily
owned street car lines may end in
scarcely less vigorous assertion of
the power of public authorities.
In the American strike case, at I>es
Moines, the strikres were willing to
return to their cars on the terms fix
ed by order of the judge, but what
If they had not been of that mind .
The courts have only one way to en
force their edicts, and that is by fin
ing or imprisoning those who disobey
them. Are Amreican labor leaders
who say that the action taken in the
Iowa city waa a good thing for labor
ready to face the chance that many
working men might be sent to jail
because they did not return to work
when told so by a judge? ?
president Gompers considers this
question with a wider range of vision
than the conditions in one city or one
strike. He remembers what might
happen in a Southern city for in
stances which was dominated by
classes either hostile or contemptu
ous in thair atUutde toward a body
of~workmen of an alien race, such as
the Cuban Cigar makers of Tampa.
There the weight of the local feeling
atvrt the pressure of social and politi
cal influence might be adverse to the
strikers and strongly in favor of such
an order as the Judge in Des Moines
issued, sending back to work all of
the men who had quit their jobs.
Would that be good or bad for la
bor? Is the esoence of compulsoo
arbitration favorable or unfavorable
t a the progress of trades unions- In
the broadest view of the interests
and welfare of wage earners, is the
Deo Moines experiment in judicial sup
pression of strikes, progress or retro
gression?
