THE ll.YJLKOAl) STRUGGLE.
The brotherhoods on the railroad'
will complete their strike vote it
August and the railroads are malt
ing a strong plea against an indu3
trial struggle. They are publishing
quarter page advertisements in tin
papers urging arbitration preferably
by the interstate Commerce Com
mission. This advertisement ever
appears in that strong advocate o:
radical socialism the Milwaukee
Leader but—non olet.
The brotherhoods involved arc
the engineers, the conductors, ihc
firemen, the brakemen “highly pa!.
men now” according to the railroac
committee. They constitute, we arc
interested to learn, about one lift!
of the total employees and the rail
roads object to paying them si
much more wages than the rest. A’
least they claim so, but that is hard
Jy correct.
Yet it is an important point—sc
important that the shrewd commie
tee of railroad management car
scarcely be considered not to have
perceived :ts importance. It place:
the index linger with unerring aceu
racy on the weakness of the brother
hoods from the worker's standpoin
—doubtless as the railroads fully
intended.
The brotherhoods have been aris
tocrats of labor. They have no com
mon cause with the other four
fifths of the railroad employees. Ii
was immaterial how they fared,
provided the brotherhoods got theirs
They allied themselves invariably
with the companies against the
oilier organizations. The struggle
of trackmen, telegraphers, shop em
ployees to improve their condition
got no support at any time, any
where from the brotherhoods. The
brotherhoods fawned upon the man
agement. They were its spoiled
children. They find that they have
been hornswoggled by arbitrations
and they will arbitrate no more.
They are now preparing to fight
and they are preparing to secure
the sympathy and support of the
rest of the workers, including those
workers whom they betrayed in the
past.
if it wasn’t for the fact that the
c mpanies can command no sym
pathy whatever, none would be held
out to the brotherhoods—as it is,
the latter in their struggle will get
support where they themselves gave
none.
DOLLAR’S DIPLOMACY.
Robert Dollar, steamship owner,
like his class believes in physical
force. Before the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce he urge!
that for every scab attacked, the
owners slug two strikers.
Suppose this incitement to viol
ence is adopted by unionists also,
and they proceed to slug in geome
trical progression—suppose it takes
to becoming general between the
working class and the employing
class-—where does thi3 undiplomatic
Dollar think he is going to head oft
at?
MAJOR- GENERAL.
Now that the war clouds that
hovered over Mexico are drifting
away, out of sight vanishes too that
glorious vision of a major general
leading his twelve thousand stal
wart braves from the woods ot
Oyster Bay to battle with the ter
rible peon.
Almost had the stepping ctone to
imperial greatness materialized,
when mollycoddle pacificators ruth
lessly dispel the dream of might.
Logical was the conclusion that it
a colonelcy in a regiment of Rough
Riders led to the Presidency, might
not also the Major-Generalship ol
a Division lead to the throne of em
pire.
Yet are the dreams of greatness
dissipated—the hopes vanished:
I “Of all sad words of tongue or pen
The saddest are these—it might
have been.”
PREl'AKill»XESS PARADE.
It Is stated that Seward figured
upon a preparedness parade. There
is no reason why not. They have
clamored for forts and fortifications
and isn't the Gateway helpless be
for the battleships of a possible
enemy. Real estate needs boom
ing; business is dull and the con
1 struction of defense works around
Seward would further their inter
ests. Patriotism of the prepared
ness kind needs pork, and the rail
road whets the appetite.
EL PASO’S GREATNESS.
El Paso is ensconced nicely upon
the Mexican frontier. Just across
, the river is Mexico and El Paso
j would be the entry point for sup
plies for the United States army
should war result with Mexico,
j Consequently El Paso's greatness
depends upon war. Its real estate
expands in proportion to the inten
sity of the war rumors and so no
thing in El Paso would be quite so
; popular as war with Mexico. The
property owners want it, the bus
iness men want it, the dealers and
speculators want it. Right and
wrong or any ethical aspects of the
war question are not to be con
sidered. War is a cold blooded
business proposition, and to pot
with ethics!
A peace conference was to be
held near the close of last month
at El Paso Dr. David Starr Jordan
and Modesto C. Rollard, two of the
highest type3 of American citizen
ship were to attend. But El Paso
would have none of them. They
were told to get out. The civil au
thorities ordered them away and
I they had to ttee to Albuquerque.
Surely militarism is having great
results these days.
WHO SAID THIS?
“For a few years past the condi
j tion of Mexico has been so unsett
I led as to raise the question on both
sides of the Atlantic whether the
' time has not come when some for
j eign power, ought, in the general in
. terest of society, to intervene to
establish a protectorate or some
other form of government in that
country and guarantee its continu
ance there.
You will not fail to assure the
government of Mexico that the Pre
; sident neither has, nor can ever
! have, any sympathy with such de
signs in whatever quarter they may
arise or whatever character they
may take on.
The President never for a mo
ment doubts that tho republican
system is to pass safely through all
ordeals and prove a permanent suc
cess in our own country, and so to
be recommended to adoption by all
other nations.
But he thinks also that the system
everywhere has to make its wav
painfully through difficulties and
embarrassments which result from
the action of antagonistic elements
which are a legacy of former times
and very different institutions.
The President is hopeful of the
ultimate triumph of this system
over all obstacles, as well in regard
to Mexico as in regard to every
other American state; but he feels
that those states are justly entitled
to greater forbearance 'and more
generous sympathies from the gov
ernment and people of the United
States than they are likely to re
ceive from any other quarter.
I And the archives here full of
complaints against the Mexican gov
ernment for violation of contracts
and spoliation and cruelties prac
ticed against American citizens. It
is not the intention of president to
send forward such claims at the
present moment.
He willingly defers the perform
ance of a duty which at any time
would seem ungracious, untill the j
administraton in Mexico shall have i
had time to cement its authority."
Who wrote that?
That was written in 1862 when
American capitalists who sought to
loot or hold loot in Mexico demand
ed intervention of Abraham Lin
coln.
His noble attitude towards the
rest of the Americas contrasts not1
unfavorably with the blatant impe
rialism of the modern intervention
ists who abuse his name on the plat- ,
form by claiming to be his follow
ers. Was he a mollycoddle?
