THE SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
The great labor strike planned in
New York city. in support of the strik-
lng street railway men, has failed to
develop. instead of several hundred
thousand union workmen in a score of
trade, leaving their jobs to force re-
cognition of a single union's demands,
only at few thousand have gone out.
Tbt result is bitterness and recrlm-
inat'or. among the union leaders, and
, the complacent conclusion of many
opprnents that organized labor has
failed and discredited itself.
As, a matter of fact, the. failure of
the proposed sympathetic stlke. is one
of the best things that could have hap-
pene ‘ to union labor. Such a strike as
wasvghontemplnted in this cos; would
hav‘ necessitated the breaking of
many contracts by labor unions. Every
time a union deliberately breaks a
contract whichhns been kept in good
with by the employers, it discredits
the cause of union labor.
Or what-use to plead the merits or
collective bargaining, if the men will
not stand by their bairgains? How
.an capitalists be expected to deal
with a labor union as a business in-
stitution if the union will not practice
business principles? ‘It is unfortunate-

be suicidal now to sacrifice the ground
won and invite indiscriminate distrust
and warfare by resorting to l. W. W.
methods and treating trade agreements
as mere “scraps of paper."
