STRIKES IN OKNRAL.
It is no longer even a question o?
to whether the laboring classee are
benefited by strikes. It has been set?
tled time and again by actual testa
that they are not. To-day, the 18th,
it is understood that a strike is pend?
ing among the brotherhood of engi?
neers covering the entire Louisville
and Nashville system, the aim being,
aa is understood, to* force the man?
agement to allow them an additonal
half-cent for every mile's rnn made
by them. This being the case, they
make this demand of the company of
^nen who have and are daily putting
bread into the mouths of their wives
and children, and say to them "if
you don't accecd to our demands
we'll stop yojnr road, and make you
lose thousands of dollars." f|
Striken in general are strictly no
good. While in some instances it
may be nccesary to briug the wrongs
and oppression of heart loss capital?
ists?for such animals do exist?to
honest-la bor to their notice in a. very
forcible manner; still, ninety-nine in
every one hundred strikes are uncall?
ed for, and usually originate on a
beer keg in front of a back-ally dive,
or some similar place, and among the
"layers-off" or the men who work
oaly when necessity and circumstan?
ces compel them to do so.
The writer once knew an entire
union of printers thrown out of work
for days?some of them being forced
to look for work elsewhere?simply
on account of a drunken printer, who,
under the laws governing the union,
claimed he had been wronged ont of
thirty-five cents by one of the papers
of the city. He demanded that his
claim be recognized by the members
of the union, and, according to the
by-laws, he had as much right to
ask for recognition as if the amount
had been thirty-five thousand dollars
instead of thirty-five cents.
Besides, when a strike is on, or
even talked of, it brings to the front
the very worst element to be found
among the class of laborers affected,
who assume the position of leaders,
and always go beyond all bound* of
reason.
In case the present talked-of strike
should go into effect, the brotherhood
of engineers not only bring loss and
damage upon the management of the
L. & N. road, but they affect largely
the business interest of all connect?
ing roads, and bring thousands of
dollars loss upon the heads of an
innocent public.
Let labor organizations exist, for
they are a necessity, but let them be
governed and controlled by good
judgement and common sense; and
lot them approach the management
of the business, they are connected
with in a business-like and gentle?
manly manner as would be done be?
twecn two individuals, and if new
terms can't be arranged, let the kick?
ers be satisfied to step down and out
without forcing other members of
their order to step out with them,
4nd thus cut off the necessaries of
life from thousands of innocent wo?
men and feehlp children."
CORRECT,
The Bristol Courier** Green
Springs correspondent, in a letter
of the 6th inst. says: j
"1 am glad to so* things looking a Sittla
lively around Big Ston? Gap. One fur?
nace is making iron, and anothei getting
ready to do so. If the Virginia Coal and
Iron Co. would commence operations la
the proper apirit, in a short time the Gap
would begin to grow to the size it has a
right to, by virtue of its ?isvtromncrttt??0
great manufacturing city. The Virginia
Coal andiron Company alone siauds In
she way."
Exactly so: the delay of the opera- J
lions by the Virginia Coal and Iron
^ <>c lias done much to retard asd
hold .back the growth of Big Stone
f.?ap, and many peopia have suffered
financially on account of the appar?
ent slow progress of its work. Still,
it should be remembered that this
great company has had an immense
amount of preliminary work to do.
It has had to purchase its vast piece
of property in comparatively small
boundaries-; it has... had boundary
lines to .establish, hundreds of deeds
and titles to perfect, months of engi?
neering work to perform, and it has
all required time and much labor;
beside, it has had serious Saw-sutta
?
to contend with. With the large
a meant of money already invested in
Iis property here, in addition to the
vast amount to be invested hi patting
their works into operation, it could
hardly bs expected of it to proceed!
?with the work of development nsatil
60
&3_d ev??y legal defect properly ad?
jttfctetj. While a great raaoy, no doubt,
havo buffered financial l?s? from,
a? stated above, the apparent nlow
progress of the company'* work, ?tili,
the company is in no wiae to blame
for this, as it K?b never for once sent
oat any highly-colored statement* or
made any rash promises to the public.
Only await the proper time, and this
great company will do its part toward
placing the Gap in its proper position
, as a great mannfactnring city.
CLEVELAND'S BACKBONE.
No one bat the disgruntled and
disappointed politician can help but
admire Mr. Cleveland's backbone in
hin appointment of Judge Gresham
as Secretary of State. Mr. Cleve?
land was thoroughly aware of the
fact that the announcement of his
selection of Judge Gresham to fill
this important place in his cabinet
wonld bring down a tirade of abuse
like a thousand of brick on his head,
and for the very knowledge of this
fact he is more fully entitled to the
admiration and confidence of the
people of the United States. Go it,
.Grow;?you display a correct idea oi
free American principles J)o it some
more; it'll make a man of you.
SOME MORE BACKBONE.
Alongside of Cleveland's appoint?
ment of Judge Gresham to Secretary
of State, Harrison's action has ruth?
lessly slapped some of the radical
element of his party square in the
face by the appointment of Judge
Jackson, a Democrat, of Tennessee,
to succeed Justice LaniarGo it,
Ben; you're President of these United
States till the 4th of next March, and
by the eternal, we'd show 'em that a
President is entitled to just ?s much
independence as a private citizen.
