The followiic' statistical rendi-
t ion of strikes is :rom the -Waii
and Express-
"In the six years preceding 17
, ' .
t.icre occurred in the. Uniteu states
.'.: strikes, or an average of two
strikes a dav for everv working
dav ot all that period, this !otks
'
almost as if a strike mania had

;;U these strikes the numb, r of em-

workers refuse to concede some de- M"'N'''f ' : of d-ca-es t

the working people was out of;

S'.).SS2, an enormous njr. rebate, but (
tririe- short of $1U,0'.'M),CK).) a year!
ia order to corny on disputes with !
t:u:ir employer.-, they evidently:
h.ive a comfortable sense of the;
regular receipt of a superfluity i'i i
wages. The losses of . employers ;
for the same period were '.'4.1ti4,-'
!14. One melancholy tact is mani
fested in strike statistics, a id that
is the dreadful contract between ;
the amount of wages lo.-t by work-:
inguien thus out of Jahor and thci
amount contributed as a :si-tar.ce
to vard their support. The total of ;
this is $4,4S ),."'"). They gave npj
$'0.01)0,001) a year and received i
!fSH,;.K)0. It is, (.f course, the!
tiieoiy of every strike t'-at the nu n
who make it are fig-ting for tiie
the interest of the whole trade.;
and Uiu-; hr the welfare oi every ;
man; and consequently, tliat what!
tuey snail lose. shab not come out ;
of th Mr own pockets, but out ot the ;
Waole fund of wag-: earned in that ;
trade. Tliis is go ? in theory, bi t
does not prove t ,n;. In the i x
perience of :;;):! strikes it turns:
o il that wht' re a mm forhsts j
twenty dollars ia want's, he re- j
cei-es ;is :;i irontniuioti towani ,

This view of the matter may lie :
the extreme on one side, hut it!
.... '
presents i-jo;I lor serious retlrctioti. ;
It is certainly apparent toyery ;
t-areful observer that the sinkim: ,
business has not woiked sati.-j
factory for those who have been :
engajreil in it. That want and suf-
fering have been entaile i upon in- j
not-ent parties cannot be denied. !
Neither can it be show, that any ;
adequate benefit has accrued to the j
working class by their institution. !
indeed the preponderance of evi-1
dence oi benefit is upon the other,
side of the house so far. AVith a
full view of these facts it does seem j
as though the labor 0 '.man could i
find some better and more prac-j
tical method of g... the results j
heaiuisiit. ;
Strikes of a neccssi'y engender j
antagonism and create a distrust j
between employer n.-, d employe, !
whereas the ai-v, shouhi be to j
create a more ha ".onioits feeling!
and a clo,er uiion. An action j
that begets antagonism cannot le
expected to produce a condtTio:- oi
