SATURDAY EVENING. DEC. 17. 1904 -
VIOLENCE ,1N LABOR CON
FLICTS In the forget tiling number
of tbo Outlook a writer has com
piled statistics of violence , in la
bor ron flirts in thn TTnitad
States. He shows that during
tug ii) uiuimis cuueu jauuary
30. 1904, 193 men were killed,
1 o .i . i t
1966 were wounded, . and 6Q44
wore arrested by reason of labor
conflicts.
These losses bear an alarming
resemblance ,to, real war, and the
fucts make it clear that this war
fare is between opposing camps
of workingmen rather than be
tween labor and capital Of the
killed, 125 were nonuuion men,
56 were union . strikers and 17
were officers of tbe law. O
the injured 1626 wer nonnnion
men, 173 .were - union strikers
and 167 were officers of the law.
Of those arrested, 415 were non
union men and 5629 were union
strikers.
Judging from these statistics
organized labor has frequently
assailed the law as well as, the
forces of nonunion workiugmen,
for it appears that union men
who were arrested outnumbered
the nonunion men by more
than 13 to 1. Right here is
where the public rights are in-
Tolved, for when, union or non
uiiioa, : working men resort' to
violence, their offense against
orderly society is the same as
that Orising when two farmers,
for example, try to eettle a
boundary dispute with clubs or
shotguns.
