For governor of Pennsylvania, on the
Issue of an open field and fair play,
JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana,
subject to the will of the Republican
masses.
.
The Future of Labor Unionism.
AN INCENDIARY paper, which
has Ions been sowing In this
k. community the seeds of class
prejudice, strife and strikes, to
the Injury of all permanent values, In
cluding Its own, takes excited excep
tion to our statement of yesterday that
"if the union Is to survive us a potent
factor in the Industrial life of the an
thracite region it will be with its char
acter changed from a property-threatening
to an educational, Insurance and
beneficial Institution returning to its
membership for dues exacted some
thing more than the privations of reck
less strikes, which injure all concerned,
except possibly the salaried leaders."
Tiis paper says that the miners'
union is not a property-threatening or
ganization; and we wish that this
statement were fully corroborated by
the facts, for if it were the load of ap
prehension now resting upon the busi
ness life of our valley would imme
diately disappear. Yet In every. Issue
of the aforesaid paper there is news, of
ten conspicuously headlined, of efforts
to force a breaking of the union's writ
ten contracts with the soft coal opera
tors, a threat to property whose bale
ful influence extends over every Ameri
can industry and constitutes the chief
cloud on our otherwise prosperous na
tional industrial horizon. Not threaten
property? How else can the calling out
of mine pumpmen be construed? The
men called out had no grievances. They
wanted to work. Their families wanted
thorn to work. In an overwhelming
majority of instances, if conditions In
and around Scran ton furnish a safe
criterion, the men who left the engines
and pumps at the union's orders did so
reluctantly, under pressure which they
felt unable or unwilling to resist. Their
legal right to unit work and let the
mines flood' is undeniable: nobody chal
lenges It. But there was a complete
absence of moral right, under the cir
cumstances. It was an action right
eously condemned by the best opinion
of the country, Including that of thous
ands of the;' most substantial minors
themselves.'.'
Wp are not seeking controversy In
this matter, but what wo said yesterday
we repeat today, for, whether popular
or not, u ls,gospel truth, Labor unions
have, lndeedj fume to stay; and when
they bonellt-tlabor by contributing to
the general "welfare; when their ener
gies go to make'better worklngmen and
better citizens, to care for members in
illness or other need and to help the
widowed and the orphaned in the hour
of bereavement,' then they have our
fullest approval and support, for on
those lines they can do a great work.
Hut when they set forth to interfere
with personal liberty, to practice boy
cotting, tii' co'n'HpJre, In. restraint of trade,
or to rule, or vuln, then they must be
taught tliplr errors, and ho Is no true
friend of'.tho Worklngmiin who contin
ually goads him on to commit mistakes
or tenches that he Is Infallible, On the
contrary, such n man, bo he politician
or editor, is. labor's worst enemy and
morally largeljrreBponslblo for much of
the syfferlrjfr-.e(Vuse"d by strikes uud the
evllsfthat B0 with them.
FoiCthreo or more years this commun
ity lias been, sorely and unnecessarily
vexcijjjby onabor agitation after an
otherJT mostly vvnrked up by outsiders
whoso, principal Interest was the salary
they received or the notoriety that went
with ijinklng trouble. Our people have
grown,1 tired .and sick of this kind of
thing?' They want to see It stopped, for
a generation, They regretfully reeog
nlzo jmit, it can bo stopped In just one
way;;!bMi fight to a finish. They are
preparedvfur ,sueh an ordeal and for-

The One Safe Course.
E
STIMABt.K ns Judge Penny-
packer admittedly Is person
ally nnd In his ofllclnt capac
ity its president Judge of one
of the Philadelphia courts of, common
pleas, the fact remains that his can
didacy for governor was wholly the
handiwork of Senator Quay, was not
asked for 'by any considerable number
of Republican voters, has not won the
approval of a single primary open to
direct vote nnd can be successful before
the convention next week only by a
display of despotic power exercised in
the face of public, and party opinion
which In our Judgment would tnukc it
very hazardous.
Hut for the boss-'con trolled delegation
nominally representing Philadelphia,
but In fact representing a narrow ma
chine circle, Judge Pennypacker's name
would not be considered In any plnce
In connection with the governorship of
Pennsylvania. lie has no acquaintance
among the people of the state. He Is
known by sight to hardly it hundredth
part of the voters whose ballots must
elect. In the works of political manage
ment and state-craft he Is wholly un
known. A good Judge, a bookish schol
ar and a pleasant but by no means
magnetic or brilliant gentleman, he
owes Ills entire position in the present
canvass to the fact of a remote rela
tionship to Senator Quay, combined,
doubtless, with the hitter's remem
brance of the judge's efforts as Quay's
eloquent panegyrist. We do not doubt
thut Judge Pennypacker would make,
if elected, a safe, conservative gover
nor, aided us he would be by the ad
vice, astute suggestions and practical
guidance of Senator Quay. The objec
tion to liis candidacy is that the man
ner of its promotion makes it danger
ous for the party.
On the other hand, in the candidacy
of John Elkln there Is represented an
aggressive and wholly creditable popu
lar sentiment a sentiment forcefully
expiessed wherever opportunity has
been offered for a direct poll of the
people. Mr. Klkln is today the most
popular man in Pennsylvania politics
and personally the best liked. He is
clean, brave, clever and honest; bis
word Is as good as a judgment note and
the only reason ever given for doubt
ing the expediency of his nomination
at this time the expressed fear that he
would draw the fire of those aiming at
the Stone administration no longer has
force since the manner of Senator
Quay's attempt to eliminate him
brought htm before the public for
measurement on his own feet.
The talk of compromise In this con
nection Is In our opinion academic. A
direct issue has been raised and fought
out before the people. The people -have
given their verdict. It is in favor of
John Elkln and fair play. The verdict
of the people at the primaries must be
respected in the convention. Any other
course would be full of peril, and It is
evident from the frantic consultations
going on in Washington among those
seeking to encompass mV. Elkin's de
feat that this fact is assuming formid
able proportions.
The more the President's Arlington
speech Is studied the more forceful ap
pear Its wlso conclusions. It is time
enough to consider the independence
of the Filipinos when the Filipinos are
fit to be Independent.
The Civic Federation.
I
N PEACE-MAKING as in every
thing else, discretion is often the
better part of valor. There can
be no question that the eminent
gentlemen who compose the Civic Fed
eration are sincerely devoted to the
principle of arbitration of labor difll
cultles nnd unselfishly eager to provide
a machinery for the avoidance of great
strikes. Whatever politics may bo In
their movement is, we believe, merely
Incidental an Inevitable deduction from
the fact that 'the moving spirit of the
Federation Is, nmong other things, a
politician and national chairman of one
of the great parties. Since politics en
tered Into the settlement of the last
mine strike it Is natural for Its appear
ance to be suspected inUho present one.
But the political conditions today are
so different from those prevailing In the
fall of 1900 that there would be little
room for political factors, oven If there
were a disposition to introduce them.
'We repeat that we credit the mem
bers of the Civic Federation with en
tire unselllshness and disinterestedness
In the part which they took to avert a
coal strike; and yet wo agree with the
operators that their Interposition had
exactly the opposite effect from that
which they intended. They wanted to
prevent a strike. As a matter of fact,
they precipitated one, An exaggerated
estimate of their power, current among
many mine workers, prompted the dec
laration of a strike against the best
judgment of the wisest miners, In the
vain hope that tho Federation would
force tho operators to yield, and today
the business world Is reaping the con
sequences. Had the members of tho Civic Feder
ation been acquainted with conditions
In tho anthracite region they would
havu recognized the futility of trying to
avert a light to a finish between the
operators and the United Aline Work
ers of America und would have direct
ed their energies Instead toward
minimizing the 111 effects, No
observant resident of the coal
fields has been doubted sliico the
soft coal union began Its propaganda
among tho local hard coal workers that
before there could be a basis of peace
and tranquility there would first lias-o
to be u conclusive test of strength.
Wherever the Mine Workers of'Amer
Ica bus gone, Its pathway has been
forced by strikes. The very nature of
the conflict between the two kinds of
coal ussured that u combination of tho
anthracite and bituminous workers
could not be made to cohere, without
strikes and additional turmoil,. When
a community gets Into the state of
mind characteristic of tho hard coal
fields during the pasl three years a
condition Illustrated by wholesale boy
cotting and union terrorlzatlon with In
cessant strikes over petty matters It
requires tittle knowledge of human na
ture to foresee the result. All exper
ience tenches that such u condition can
he overcome only through the elimina
tion of unionism's excesses.
Our advice to the Civic Federation Is
to make a personal study 6K,tho an
thracite region before taking further
steps toward the Interposition of Its
pacific oillces. Then It will understand
what It Is doing.
In the long run, of course, the admin
istration wilt have Its wily In the mat
ter of'Cubnn reciprocity. But It must
be udmlttcd Unit the way Is very long.
An AlUConquerlng Tongue.
T
MM Toronto Olobo expresses
cordial approval of the South
African peace terms and Is
especially glad that Great
Britain did not make a row over the
language question. On that scope It
says:
"We have but little sympathy with
the ono-hinguuge-at-any-price Idea.
The advantage of a single language In
a country Is apparent, but the Impolicy
of creating bad feeling In the attempt
to create homogeneousness of speech Is
still more apparent. It Is a matter that
cures Itself, and the supreme policy In
such cases Is to exhibit no anxiety to
produce unillnguat conditions. You
cannot by force prevent men talking
whatever language they choose. It Is
best, therefore, to accept cheerfully
what. Is beyond our power to mend
even If It were wholly desirable to
mend It, or ut least to take any set
measures to that end. It is altogether
unlikely that a language like the Taal,
without a literature, will long survive
In competition with, the commercial
language of the world. It Is far more
likely to fall Into desuetude If the English-speaking
neighbors of the Boers
show a generous sympathy with the
difllculty of becoming proficient In any
language other than one's mother
tongue. To tell a man that he shall not
speak his mother tongue is to make
him, In all probability, the more deter
mined to speak it."
The march of trade, more and more
controlled by men of English speech, is
solving the language problem In more
places than one.
Candid CoirtnKnf
flbotif the Strike
From the Washington Star.
The latest move of the hard coal min
ers In their strike is calculated to wean
from them any sympathy the public
may have felt heretofore. They have
persuaded about seventy-five per cent,
of the force required to keep the mines
from flooding to leave the works, in
volving a grave danger not only of the
destruction of hundreds of millions of
dollars In property, but of the greatly
.feared outbreak of hostilities. The
operators have met the strike of the
pumpmen by replacing the strikers with
a force composed of a few regulars sup
leniented by emergency men recruited
from the shops and even the offices of
the coal companies. These are guarded
by several bundled policemen. It tills
strike follows the usual course, the
strikers will soon begin to- adopt harsh
measures to coerce the men now man
ning the pumps to leave. Already some
thing approximating a state of siege has
been compelled in some places by the
ugly attitude of the strikers, and trouble
cannot be far off. The policy of the
operators is now to keep the pumps
going nt any cost, even If they havo to
call upon the state and the federal au
thorities for military aid. The property
Is valued at more than half a billion
dollars, and if iho mines are flooded not
only will a largo part of this value bo
destroyed, but the hard coal Industry
will bo crippled for years. The strikers
are acting In a most short-sighted man
ner in thus placing in jeopardy the very
source of their own Income when rela
tions are re-established. They have de
liberately adopted iv policy of destruc
tion which is certain to alienate public
sympathy and to place them on the de
fensive later when the account is bal
anced. Inalienable Hights.
From the New York Tribune.
It should be understood, nnd It Is to be
hoped that tho responsible lenders on
both sides will make It clearly under
stood, that there are on both sides ab
solutely Inalienable rights which must
bo respected. The miners have a right
to stop working; but other man havo
just ns good a light to continue or to
begin working. The miners have a right
to abandon the mines; but tho opera
tors have tho same right to care for the
mines nnd to protect them from Injury,
if a man, for any reason, does not want
to run a pumping 'engine any longer, he
has a right to give It up nnd retire; but
ho has no right to say that tho engine
shall stand Idle and not bo run by any
one else. With his relinquishment of
the engine his authority over It ceases,
If he wants his right to quit work re
cognized, ho must recognize tho right of
other men to work. It would bo a mon
strous thing for the operators by sheer
physical foreo to drlvo tho striking min
ers back to their places and compel
them to work, It would be equally mon
strous for the striking miners, by slieor
physical foivo or Intimidation, to drive
woald-bo workmen away and compel
them to abstain from working, These
rights should bn pelf-evident and should
be Instinctively recognized and re
spected by all. If they are respected, In
letter and spirit, pence will continue to
prnvall In tho coal regions. If they are
violated on either fdrto, thero will bo
grave danger of trouble, for which tho
violators will bo responsible,
Hard to Explain.
From a Wilkes-Harro Dispatch In the.
New York Times.
At headquarters, tho preparations of
tho mine owners to hafeguard life and
property aro resented and denounced,
but why they should bo Is not explained.
Tho miners can doubtless find trouble If
they seek It, but It will not seek thrm.
This morning I visited a number of
breakers between hero nnd Plttston,
and yesterday several near Seranton. I
nm told that they are well guarded, and
have no doubt tills Is true, but I did not
see any niou nbnut. Evidently the coal
and Iron police are not obtruding them
selves upon tho public, notice, I have
yet to see one. So far as my observa
tion In three districts warrant nn opin
ion, the operators are carefully avoid
ing giving tho miners any pretext for
disorder. President Mitchell has In
dulged In more Ill-advised talk about the
coal and Iron police, and characterizes
them us "a mob of disreputable men.
who will incite more trouble than they
will prevent." Ho tells a very Improb
able htory of how, during tho strike of
two years ago, these special pollco vls
Ited the homes of miners, and, by a
show of authority they did not possess,
coerced them to resume work against
their wll. He Is rapidly losing prestige
as u broad-minded, conservative leader.
How to End the Strike.
From the Albany Journal.
Kccauso tho capitalists who have se
cured possession of the supply of u nut-
urnl product that exists In abundance,
havo bad a falling out with tho men
whom they employed to prepare that
product for the consumer, Industry Is
threatened With paralysis. Because US,
000 men nnd boys, obedient to n major
ity vote of their representatives, have
laid down tlielr tools nnd abandoned
their work, the Interests of seventy-six
millions of human beings are placed In
Jeopardy, Manifestly this Is n prepos
terous condition, for which It should not
lie dinioult to find n remedy. ,
Let us analyze the condition n lltttc.
Of the H.I.Ouo mine workers who are Idle,
4.1 per cent, left their work against their
will, for of the delegates to tho conven
tion which ordered the strike, 43 per
rent, voted against a cessation or work.
It may bo nssumed that about 62,000 of
tho mine workers would be at work to
day If they, were not kept under re
straint by tho organization to which
they belong .
On tho other hand, the mine operators
have closed their mines and Indicated
by wbnt little they have said and by
their attitude Hint they mean to keep
them closed until tlielr old employes re
turn to work, It may be said that they
aro virtually compelled to take this
course, since experience has taught that
attempts to work the mines with non
union men would result In disorder nt
least, nnd very probably In riot and
bloodshed, And even though there was
not this probability, It would be dan
gerous to turn the work In tho mines
over to green hands. Still. If the mem
bers of the Vailed Mlnrl Workers should
be able to )iold out for an Indefinite
length of time, nnd by degrees secure
other employment, so that they would
never return to the mines, It would be
come necessary to employ other men to
do the work which tlicy have aban
doned.
For the present, between the majority
of the miners' union that will not work
and the mlnbrlty that dnro not, on tho
one hand, nnd the mine operators who
are unwilling to make nn attempt to
employ others to get the coal which
they control to the consumers, on tho
other, the people are compelled to pay
exorbitant prices for the meager supply
that they are still able to ootaln, and
In the near future wilt suffer greater
loss through Inability to secure any
coal,
In other words, n combination of labor
and a combination of capital, arrayed
against eacli other, are placing restraint
upon commerce and trade.
Is not "government by Injunction," ap
plied to both sides, the obvious remedy?
An Injunction directing President Mit
chell to call the strike order off, and
thus leave the miners who would Work
but for tho restraining force of that
order, free to do so, and another direct
ing the mine operators to resume the
production of coal with such working
force as they might be able to obtain,
should have the effect of providing the
relief which the public needs and to
which it is entitled.
In the matter of the extortion prac
ticed by the beef trust, the government
took prompt action. The condition that
has been created in the mining region
calls far more urgently for prompt and
vigorous action. It would be possible
for this nation to live and prosper with
out beef for nn Indefinite period: with
Its coal supply shut off for any consid
erable time, disaster would come upon
It. Let the miners and operators fight,
if they cannot agree, but let It be Im
pressed upon them that they must not
do it at public expense.
MTEBABY NOTES.
In the June number of Alnslee's there
are several striking short stories and
some exceptionally readable special ar
ticles. "New Orleans, tho Most Dra
matic. City In the United States," by W.
S. Harwood, Is a very picturesque ac
count of the commercial, social and per
sonal side of the South's metropolis; the
Illustrations are numerous and hand
same. A very Important articlo by John
Gilmer Sliced is entitled, "The Growth
of Luxury In America." "Mrs. Stuyve
sant Fish, Social Leader," by Charles
Stokes Wayne, Is a well-Illustrated
character sketch of this peculiar type of
New York society. "The United States
nnd South America," by If. E. Arm
strong, contains a wealth of information
Interestingly handled, about our next
neighbor and tho one from whom we
have most to gain in commercial advan
tage. Prof Felix Adler contributes to the
June Forum a paper, entitled "The
Philippine War: Two Ethical Ques
tions," in which he discusses whether it
is treason to condemn a war waged by
our country while the war Is still in pro
gress, and whether civilized nations uro
justitlcd In adopting uncivilized methods
of warfare. As far as tho first question
Is concerned, ho makes a distinction be
tween different kinds of war, but his
answer to the second is an unqualified
negatlye.
Tho issue of tho Outlook for June 7th
Is the thirteenth annual recreation num
ber. T'lie leading features are "Hunting
Klg Game with tho Camera," by A. G.
Walllhan; "When You Meet a Bear," by
W. .1. Long; "-Mountain Climbing," by
Charles E. Fay; "Camping for Women,"
by Martha Coman; "Lost In the
Woods," by George Kennan; "Behind
the Guns," by James Barnes; "Tho Sal
mon Leap,"' (a beautiful picture Illus
trating a passage from Izaak Walton);
nnd "Winning a Y," by Walter Camp.
There are ulso Dr. Hale's "Memories,"
an Illsutrnted article on Jano Austen's
Home, a good story, and interesting,
timely portraits. The number Is richly
Illustrated.
The first article In tho Juno number
of the North American Ilevlew, "Air-;
Ships nnd Flying Machines" is nlo tho
first articlo Santos Dumont has written.
It sets forth tho principals on which ills
machines have been constructed, tho
method of their management, nnd the
grounds of his confident belief that ho
Is on the way to master tho problem of
the navigation of the air. N. S. Shaler,
professor of geology In Harvard univer
sity, and ono of tho most distinguished
of living seismologists, expounds "Tho
Nature of Volcanoes"; ho shows how
the Intcnso heat, by which they aro
caused, is generated In tho under-enrth,
and what occurs when an .eruption takes
place, Illustrating Ids themo by refer
