THE GREAT STRIKE.
The strike ankmob violence which
last week,threatened the peace and
prosperity of the whole country seem
to have spent their force, and coin
parody°. quiet again prevails through
out Pennsylvania at least. The
promptand energetic action u of :the
State Authorities and the patriOtic
and brave response or the citizen sot
diery of Sre,. Commonwealth, had a
wholes° ' influence in subduing a
spirit o anarchy and -communism,
befoie which the whole country for
a time stood dumbfounded . and ap
parently pSralyeed. Now the mis
guided menl t ithose folly led to the
terrible scenes at -Pittsburgh, Altoo
na and Reading, bave time to sit
down and calculate how much they
have accomplished in the way of
.pe
,cuniary benefit to theniselves, (Sr in
promoting the dignity and good of
labor. The lesson some of them are
likely to be taught as a punishment
for their crimes will probably . prove
a salutary lesson to theoffenders and
their sympathizers.
But innocent industrious laboring
men who are content if they can but
gain a bare subsistence foc them
selves and families during these dark
times of , business depression, are
compelled to suffer from the eitorced
suspension of business 'caused by a
set of fellows, who are innocent of toil
or any desire for occupation whereby
they might obtain an honest liveli
hood, under the specious cry of just
ice to laboring men. Let all who
desire to see our republican institu
tions upheld, honest labor made 're
munerative, and the laborer protect
ed in his rights, unite in frOwning
down the machinations and plottings
of the mischievous rabble who live
at the expense of others, and gloat
over the misfortunes of their fellows.
-1- I ' •
Sassun.r.l4sorxr.a.---The Central
Connell of the 'tLabo'League of the
United Stases 'met in Washington
r
recently, and adopted ref; utions in
reference to the prevailing del • ssion
of labor and the evils likely to • snit
therefrom. The resolutions adv
coolness and moderation, and : warn
men of the Order, as well as , working
men ip general, - 0 to beware of emis
saries. who , go around inciting to
strikes and violence,' which injure
'labor generally, and result in the
conviction and punishm9t - of the
participants therein." They -also de
clare that 0 mob Violence and riot
lead only to anarchy and the final
destruction of human liberty, and it
is better to submit to any sort of
despotips for the time being thew to
hve nci-government at all."
Tuts is a great time, says the
Tribune, for the mild idiot whose
chief business it is to predict the
overthrow of the Republic. He
thrusts his ears into 'the face of the
puolic on every ferry-boat and street l
ear. He talks loudly and in exceed
ingly bad grammar about the weak
ness of popular government and the
political corruption of the times. He
is a nuisance of the musqUitO variety
—too stnall to extirpate by force,
but too irritating to igneTe. The
worst punishment which could befall
him would, be to see himself' as
others see him. Yet this is impossi
ble, for the worst donkey is proverbi
ally the one who doei not know
enough to know- he is a donkey.
DISTRICT - ATTORNEY FINN EY Of
New-Orleans Confesses that the mem- -
bers of the Returning Board „have
not been indicted, but says the Grand-
Jury requiTes him to file the informa
tion against them, there lieing a
doubt as to the Jury's power, to make
an indictment:during a" special term.
He 'says that jn a card to the Herald,
and adds the gratuitous informatoit
that the whole proceeding originated
in his burning desire to bring guilty
men ;justice. The public woiild
take more stock in this statement
were he to accompany 'it with less
partisan,-'fervor, and were he to stir
up with his powerful and judicial
arm a bull-dozer or two in his own
party.
Ism'? it just a little bit singular
that the Democratic Gnvernor of * a_
Democratic State Cshould call on the
President for troops to suppress do.
metitic violena? It so happens, how
ever, that President HAVas' firet.use
of the Federal forces is in response
'to the call of Governor
of West Virginia, who , was elected
on a platform of "no military inter;
ferenee." It makes all the difference
in the world whose ox is gored.

, THE time for holding the 'Republi
can State Convention has been
_changed to September 5* ,
THE LAMB (11 O 1• AID THE
a oaf 111-OTa
. Labor,riots such as have °Canned'
at Martinsbri* and Baltimore alwayir
prove two tMngs'at - least, to 'wit:
That trade is unprofitable and= that
ignorance is bent 'upon Making, it
worse. Strikes.owe they existence
to a settled belief in uneducated
minds that trade is a creature of :ca
price and that-prices are subject 'to
'nothing but the will \ of certain tier
soneealled capitiliste. It is aadifil
cult :- to persuade the orkingman
who believes in strikes as a vereign
remedy that principles of Universal
application, quite independiat of
class desires, regulate- the terma\ of
exchange as it was to
,cenvince th •
old Rapti:ink t,hai the, earth did not
owe its stability, to the staying-pow
er of an imaginary turtle From this
primal error comes naturally enough
a persuasion in the lade laborer's
mind that his employer is his enemy,
and from this in turn springs the ri
otous spirit which manifests itself
when the labor market is stagnant.
The firemen and others who have
during the past three days held the
attention of the country, are in
dimbtedly operating - in the honest
conviction that they are the' victims
of tyrannical and grasping corpora
tions, and that but for the hardness
of the corporate heart they would all
have big wages arid-happy. homes.
They decline to notice the fact that
nearly all the great railroad lines of
the country have for years, past been
run at a loss to their owners, and
that the power of. the companies to,
pay anybody for abything \ depends
entirely upon the amount • and kind
of transportation they do. • There
was a time when firemen and brake
men, who are'now asked to work for
$1.50 and $145 a day got $2.50 and
$3.00 a day, but at that time coal
was sellitti for $l2 a ton and' flour,.
for $l6 a barrel. ,At present coal ie
being sold for $4 aton and flour, for
$9 a barrel. If the endeavor of the
strikers to force higher wages from
their employers means anything, it
means that the freight rates shall be
increased' nd, of necessity, the pile°
of coal, flour and other products be
raised. The 'wildest striker must ac
knowledge that whatever he receives
in wages must first of all be earned
from the publie, and therefore. that
to increase his wages the tariff on
imnspOrtatiori -must be atgmented.
A recognition of this princito e puts
the present strike in a light no con
templated by its friends. At p • : nt
there are thousands of workin
in all the cities - ot the Atlantic sea
board for a daily compensation of
$1.27, and there are,thousarids more
who would be glad to-work for less l
but can get nothing. to do. Now it
is certainly hard. for these men .tó
live as it is for the railroad. strikers,
and it is equally certain that any in
crease ,in the cost of &our, coal and
potatoes would add to their difficul
ty. If the freight rates are increas
ed a rise in the price •of these arti
des is inevitable, and hence more ,
difficulties for the'laboring men on
the Atlantic seaboard, who are ei-:
ther unemployed or working for 1
small wages. In other words, the
proposition of the strikers at best is
a : proposition to rob Peter to pay
Paul. To state the matter in anoth
er way, an increase in ,the wages of
railroad men at present involves a
decrease in t the earnings of the labor
ing populCtion of our cities,, for to
raise the price of food is the same
thing as to decree& the purchasing
power of Money,-and to decrease , the
,purchasing power of the laborers'
wages is in effect the same as to de
crease his wages. The short and the
'long of the subject Is .that tildes are
'hard and the strikers' are -trying . by
vidence to Shove their share , of the
general distress on to the shoulders
of other , men who are already bear
ing•theirc ull proportion. To speak
of such an deavorus a cofiflict 1.3 -
Om l
en capita and labor is most• ab
e
, exi d es .vo.•.-- •
merely estau...-__
propositition with which we set out
—that ignorance is the prime condi
tion of such undertakings. That the
railroad companies cannot, even if
tlwy were disposed, raise their freight
rates to any considerable 'degree, is
made clear by ; the: condition of our '
export trade. '• At - present we are
shipping thonsandsof tons of flour,! '
cheese, grain, butter, etc., to Etirope:
To increase the freight rates would
be to increase the prices. of these ar
ticles, and to increase the price would
be to destroy the advantage which
enables us to undersell the. Europe
an and that wcffild be for the rail
road companies to kill the commer
cial goose that lays the golden eggs
of freight. It is.with transportation
as with other industries, the prise o
employment goes to those who can
furnish the object desired at thelow
est price, and there is no combina
tion of capitalists or laborers who
can change the principle. ' •
Apart from the effect on the mar
ket which this railroad strike -in
volves, the rioters have set them
selves to the accomplishment of tWo
intolerable wrongs: They arc at- .
tempting to force brined. men "who`
want to work to remain idle ; they
are trying to force men to builabor
at terms which they consider disad
vantneOns. It is obviously prepos
terons to speak of , and ,undertaking
as good for the workingman .which
had for one of its purposes, the en
forcement of idleness upon men whir
have honest work offered them and
who desire to accept it ;andmust suf
fer if they cannot find employment.
It is an equally apparent outrage to`
insist that men shall be found to buy
labor Whether . they want it or no, orb
on terms which they deem minors,.
It ought by this, tune to be under
stOod inAmerica that the man who
has labor to sell and the man who
has flour, to dispose of stand upon
the same- ground, and that any
threats used to extort * big price for
the one am as indefensible an if they
were employed to force the .sale of
the other.. - \ •
As . to the riots which have taken
place at Martinsburg, Baltimore and
Pittsbdrgh, no more need be Said
than thit everything
,decent in socie
ty
is4ledged by the conditions of its
own existence to put them down. at
whateveritost. The fact that the _ -ri
oters are ignorant does not decrease
the injury which they. may do. If
they may be reasoned- with, Ahoy
must he made subinissive by force. ,

\ The southwestern part of tb city
has been in the bands Of the mob all
day, tied the gravest apprehension
have prevailedeverywhere. The
trouble began by eight o'clock , this
morning at\yirest Twelfth street, in
Turner hall, _where the communists
were holding , a\meeting. Reports
were`telegraphed tOA,be Central sta
tion also that mobs were gathering
in the vicinity of Halstead _ and Six
teenth streets. ' A small\aquad of
officers at once repaired to the Tur
ner hall and dispersed the crowd,
who passed down Llalstead street and
helped to swell the mob in that la-
Canty which was momer.tarily , in
creasing to thousands. The intelli
gence' received' at the pollee head
quarlers was of so grave a character
that the,bridges ,were ordered to be
turned and the veteran cavalry, yin
der the Cuban refugee, Colonel Ag
ramonte,' thSecOnd regiment. 1111-
nois State 'Hoard, with a battery,
were ordered to the scene Of action.
Early in' the forenoen the crowd
became very large at `the I.als'.,ead
street viaduct: The weird eras more
or less scattered all along'llalstead
street and on Sixteenth street, from
the lJalstead to the 'Jefferson Street
,viaducts, and 'as there were no pollee
present they spent the time in shout,
ing and throwifig stones at the round
house\ anitithe ears but_the mob was
constantly increasing and becoming
more and 'more boisterous. ,
. The news, of this mob and • Mt'
el
ilisorderly action was announced at
the west 'Twelfth street station, and,
Lieutenant Callahan immediately/ dis
patched Sergeant Butler, with a
squad of ,filletu men, to the viaduct
and "telegraphed' "to the Central sta
tion- Mr , help. Butler's men marched
to the viaduct and all the 'way.. were
met with derisive yells and' charged '
with being the cause of all the trou
ble:. On approaChing the viaduct' the
mob fell back somewhat; but, those
in the rear, on seeing thecominotion,
stood their ground and-prepared for
,lt. Thy wincers marelw
ofetones,.iirhich did more, damage to
the buildings near by than to the pa
lice. The police stood their ground
for about a quarter of an: hour with
out,firing 'much. They were too few
,to drive the crowd before them. All
they could possibly do, was, to hold'
their position and keep \ the , yiaduct
eleA. After faeing each other for a
time the old heads , in the mob, made
an advance forward, not in
_solid
ranks, but very scattered.
I
• At this time there were 'within a
radius of two_bloeks of the ) viadnet
7,000 men and boys. They reecmed'
to be closing up
-on the police from
all directions and- wore all the time
keeping up a lively shower of stones
and sticks. By skulking - .behind
fe_nces and freight cars they- were
able to get very near the polie.
The rioters were close enough now
fot the police to do some effective
work, but with so small -a , squad
nothing• could be done but stand
their ground - and scare them.pff until
reinforcements should arrive, so the
men fired,ui few rounds pretty close
to the thtekest past of the gathering,.
The effect was very decided, 'fPr it
caused a precipitate retreat "on the
tare of the mob. Thopolibemen from
his time on kept up a pretty con
stant firing, When the crowd would
press very - close, as= it sometimes
would, the pollce, would, sometimes

their ground much longer unless re

mob were again closing in on bis
men as if they knew thht they could
not tire many more Vibes Sergeant
Butler gave "orders to his . men to fire
off rapidly all they 4rad left and at
the same time to move north across
the viaduct toWarci the station. The
crowd seeing the police retreat grew
bold and began to attack them.
The.situation`was critical, but pis)
As the 'men were beginning todespair
Col. Agramonte's cavalry. was seen
charging, to Halstead street and the
crowd:melted away before there.
Field & Lieter't and-J. V.lFarwell 4k,
Co's heavy wagons also came up with
detachments of police from the Mad
ison and Harrison street 'statloni
The crowd then retired _to a position
out of range on all sides of the men,
who marched down the street to the
bridge toward Tweri r ty-second street,'
where - a crowd from the peeking-.
house's at the `stock yards was re- -
ported to be concentrating at 'the
rolling mills. The Combined forces
arved Justin time to save Lieuten
