XKIuailTOX, PA,:
SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 28, 1877.
Ia the New York stock maikot tUo
flr& news of the strikes on the coal
railways appears to havo advanced la
tead of depressing their shares, the
street arguing that these strikes would
curtail the amount of coal sent to tide
water and tend to raise prices.
The coal sales tint were to havo
taken place at New York "Wednesday
were postponed President Sloan, of
tho Delaware Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad Company, announced that
the sale by his company was postponed
on account of tho Unsettled condition
of transportation. A similar an
nouncement was made on behalf of the
retimytvanlft Coal Company by Vice
President Iloyt.
Trade and travel have been Inter
rupted, enterprise checked, property
has been destroyed ; the peace of tho
community, so essential to prosperity,
has been widely shocked, many lives
sacrificed, and uuraoerfl of people maim
ed for life through the strike. It Is
almost Impossible to estimate the amount
of damage done to all kluds of business
by the outbreak ; and with all this evil
accomplished, iu what particular Is tho
condition of tho strikers, who have
caused all this violence and bloodshed,
Improved ?
Railroad Strikes.
During tliH latter portion of last week
1a strike occurred upon the Baltimore
and Ohio It. It., caused by a ten per
reduction In tho wages of brakemen
and firemen, which strike was followed
by that of the employees of tho Penn
sylvania and other roads. These strikes
were accompanied with great violence,
theft and destruction of property.
Martlnsburg, Va., Baltimore, Md.(
Pittsburgh and Reading, Pa., and other
important points, were especlalty noted
for tho outrages committed by the des
peradoes mllllous of dollars worth of
property having been destroyed by In
cendiarism and a large number of per-:
sons killed and wounded in the conflict I
between the rollltla nud tho people, j
TIio residents along tho line of the '
Baltimore and Ohio K. It. In the State of !
"West Virginia sympathized with the
strikers, hence Governor Matthews was
compelled to call upon the President of
the United States for aid to put down
this riot. The President of the Haiti
worn and Ohio Ballroad Joined with tho
Governor In representing the interests
which wero at stake and the powerless
rtess of the State authorities to meet the j
emergency. The President, as soon as
lie was assured of he necessity, order-!
ed General French with two hundred '
and fifty Federal troops, to inarch for
Martlnsburg, West Virginia, the centre '
of the riotous demonstration, and en- i
force a proclamation, which he sent on j
In advance, commending the rioters to I
disperse.
This ought to have ended the stilkc, j
and at one tlmo It seemed to have done !
so. But the strike had becorao Infectl ;
ous, and on Friday the train-men of tho
Pennsylvania and of the Erie ftoads be
gan to quit their trains and array them
selves against their employers. HIoU
ous demonstrations were again made on
the lino of'the Baltimore and Ohio Kail
road at Cumberland, and assumed such
proportions that Governor Carroll of
Maryland deemed It needful to Issuo a
proclamation and ordor a regiment of
soldiers to the spot. As theso soldiers
were proceeding from their armory In
Baltimore they were assaulted by
crowds of the friends of the riotous
strikers, and finally compelled to fire
upon the mob, when eight! men were
killed and a score or more wounded.
The Governor of Pennsylvania called
out the several regiments and ordered
the rioters on tho line of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad to disperse. In conse
quence of dlfilcultles on tho Pittsburgh
and Fort Waynn Railroad, Governor
Young of Ohio called out four compan
ies to suppress the strike at Newark
Ohio, and Governor Robinson of New
York Issued a proclamation and sent
the Twenty-third regiment to Ilornells
vllle on tho Krle railroad to prevent dis
turbances there.
The widespread character of these
strikes would seem to Imply a general
dissatisfaction on tho part of the em
ployees with their wages and treatmeut,
and something like a systematic plan of
operations to force the railroad cmnptv
riles to comply with their demauds at
the risk, In case of denial, ot ruining
the business of the roads nnd'lnfilctlug
Incalculable damage upon tho whole
country. Tho question which Is now
presented Is not whether the workmen
have been Injured In the reduction of
their wages, or not; they havo prevent
ed tho answer to nil such questions,
which might have gloed them public
sympathy and aid In resisting power
ful corporations, by their lawless .ao
.iiiiia
tlon. But tho question Is, whether a
body of discontented men shall bo al
lowed, In epito of all authority, to take
a railroad and Its property 'out of tho
hands of Its lawful owners ?
Tho public do not care to 'discuss tho
question of wages with men who have
armed themselves to defy tho law and
destroy private property. Whatever
sympathy may exist for worlclngmen In
hard times, and there Is no lack of It,
Is alienated from them as soon as they
becomo public enemies by acts of law
lessness and trades-union tyranny.
Any employe can appeal to the law
against a breach of contract, and can
appeal to public sentiment against In
justice and oppression, with a fair
chance of success. But when ho takes
the law Into his own hands, and by
violence endeavors to redress his real or
Imaginary wrongs, he forfeits his claims
to sympathy and help, and becomes an
outlaw who Is tho enemy of every good
citizen and dangerous to society. Tho
whole Idea of tho striker Is erroneoas.
It Is a foreign notion fostered by oar
democratic Institutions, and a licentious
freedom; but no Individual nor com.
pauy can yield to It without being for
ever in bondage. Tho Times speaks
truly when It says :
