HIE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-MOND AY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1900. 8 WEST SCRANTON BUSINESS MAiYS VIEW OF STRIKE THINKS THE MERCHANTS DE SERVE CONSIDERATION. Does Not Understand Why They Should Carry Customers Any More Than the Cash Dealers Do Knights of Malta Elect Offlceis Eisteddfod at Taylor Christmas Day Some of the Competitions and Prizes to Be Given Minor News Notes and Per sonals. A representative business man of this city, who Inn been following the strike situation ciy closely, pauses to toll, In his own way, Just how ho feds about it, and asks The Tribune to print his views. The gentleman has been Identified with the business inter ests of Scranton for neaily forty jears, and 1 In .a position to know what he Is tdlklncr about. Here are his views: "'Wheie nie we at?" Is at present the question that Is puzzling n great many who nre In the business worlJ. The strike among the co.il miners Is the topic all along the lino. As a re minder of the strikes of the past, we cinnot ery well let the present one go unheeded ns far as can the miner. At the present time we are facing whit, In my estimation, Is a calamity to every family who has not the where with to exist any length of time with out the aid of the storekeeper, or fall back on what resources they hae been stihlng hard to get together for a rainy day. "The operators should come man fully and willingly and meet the miners in a discussion of their alleged griev ances, such as the powder Question, semi-monthly pay and the company store, and the men should show a similar spirit toward their employers. "Since 1S63, or as you may call It. during the war, we have witnessed four strikes, all of which I am certain pioed disastrous to the miner and his associates, and especially to the mer chant of this city and adjoining towns. I'nder what Is right and just, I cannot see that It would be reasonable to ex pect the merchant to cany his custom ers any more than the cash store man, who deals for cash and cash only. To do so Is to Invite almost certain finan cial ruin. The past strikes are elo quent histories of what happened to many merchants who were prosperous and well-to-do bofoie the Industilal GRAPE ADE Ask Jenkins about it. 101 S.
