FRANK CRANE'’S DAILY EDITORIAL Strikes By ‘DR. FRANK CRANE Strikes are pure barbarism. They are an application of force, Not force on the guilty party, but force applicd to a third party who has nothing to do with th® casc. When a man has financial diiference with his neighbor he does not try to get payment by belng oifensive to neighbor's wife and children or puncturing the tires of the village physician's automobile or going around shooting up the butcher apd baker who have nothing to do with the matter. But when Labor and Capital fall out they each begin to abuse the public and hope by this means to secure their rights. Every other kind of disput¢ between men and groaps is taken before a court of law. The question is examined according to well-known rules of evidence and the only force in the case is used to compel acquiescence and resuits. “ But in disputes between employer and employee it is supposed to be the thing to do to abuse the public. Ot course that may be the only means of bringing the condition of the laborer home to us and making us realize what long hours and low wages are, but it i8 a poor means. Tt shows that so far the business world has not found itself and the rule of law and order is not complete in business. For, when it is com- plete, a man who is dggrieved can take his grievance before the proper tribunal and haVe it settied. He is not compelied to tak= his pistol and run amuck through the streets, There was a recent strike at Covent Garden, London. When it was finally settled the workmen went back at ‘about the same rates they had been getting. The curious spectacic was presented of a strike throwing thousands out of employment taking place at the same time that Great Britain is complaining of its unemployed classes. 1f the workers want the sympathy of the general public they will have to get it in some sther way than by the use of force.

The trans-continentel carriers argued for a reduction of rates from middie west points such ag Chicago, to Pacific coast terminals, in order to meet competition of the rail and water routes from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. They declared that under the present rates, steel products may be shipped from Pitts- burgh to the Atlantic coast and thence by water to the Pacific coast for less than the same products may be shipped from Chicago to the same Pacific coast points. la mation to his Oct. 16.—Premier H rriot | has a way of g the emands of the state functionarids a minimum salary of 6,000 francs. The result was attained after a confere attended by Finance Minister Clementel, the president of | the fin committee of the cham- | beg of deputies, the reporters of senate and chamber budget commit- tees and other interested parties, lasting most- of yesterday afternoon and last evening. | After studying the question from every angle it was found possible to adopt & scale of salaries rising from 6,000 to 40,000 francs without ex- ceeding the limits of the appropria- tion for that purpose in the budget. Under the plan, provisional allow- ances for the high cost of living would be included in the salaries, functionaries who are lodged free would have a proportionate reduc~ tion made at their salaries, and 20;- 000 places would be abolished.
