WJBRS WILL IT END?
This appears to be an era of
labor strikes. All over the ILiit-e-l
States men who lab r and are
aiJiliated with trade unions are
going on a strike. Let us con
sidar the matter seriously and
note as best we are able the con
ditions at present and hazar 1 a
guess at what the end is to b3.
In the first place all of our
sympathies go to the working
m m so long as he is in ihe
riirht. But at the present tim?
it 13 a noteworthy fact that labor,
o i the average, was never bat
ter paid. The laboring man who
is worthy of his hire need nor be
idle for want of a position, and
at a respectable stipend, too.
Bat the hog seems in the little
fallows an well as the big ones
for the demand is for more and
mire money and shorter hours
hore, there, and everywhere.
The working man is entitled to
fair compensation and this com
pensation must accrue from the
profits of the business which the
working man helps to create- No
m itterjhow much or how little
t le working man demands for
his labor if this demand be in
excess of the profits to his em
ployer it cannot be allowed and
the laborer demanding: more
wages mast be replaced by ;
cheaper man. If there be ;
union back of all this and ;
strike is ordered then the busi
ness shuts down. The proprietor
cnn better afford to go out of
Isusines than to conduct it at a
lo-ss. When it com:;s to' the gams
or starve out" the man of
means must in reason be expect
ed to have the best of it.
There is a scarcity of labor
everywhere and this makes
wages good, but when priaes for
labor become excessive there
must be retardation of genera'
advancement and depression fol
lows Close observation has
made clear the fact that in soma
instances men who were never
ia all their lives so well paid have
recently gone on strikes for
still greater remuneration and
shorter hours. Such a policy is
ruinous, not alone to the capital
nts of the country but to the
mm who must labor for the sup
port of himself and family.
With all honor to the working
man, in order to maintain the
sympathies of the thinking pub
lio he must be reasonable in his
demands. Let these demands be
just and on right lines and a
good healthy sentiment will back
him up. There must eventually
be an end to this strike business
as it is worked today. It must
result in such a manner as to dis
gust the better class within the
trade unions and then conditions
will a?ain become as they were
before the birth of unionism, by
which is provided a job for some
addle-headed boss.
Let the laborer be fair in his
demands and also demand that
the capitalist do the right thing
The interests of capital and la
bor are identical. The laborer is
but a leech on a rich man it
cannot be otherwise. Today it
seems a case, to use a slangy ex
pression, of "dog eat dog."
Where will it end?

For Colonist Rates Tom Rich
ardson Urges Action.
Th" Oregon Development
Iveague tbrougn its secretary,
lom Ktctiardson, is urging the
co-operation of all the towns in
the Willamette Valley in tht
movement to advertise Oregon in
the East, especially to secure in
creased im migration during the
petiod that the low colonist rates
are operative.
The last letter sect out by the
League urges that ministers be
! rtquesteJ to make announcement
1 irom their pulpits in regard to
these rates, and that teachers be
asked to put the matter before
the schools. The letter goes on
t say :
Every resident of Oregon
should at once m ke it his or her
personal duty to write a letter to
some acquaintance, relative or
friend, or better still to some old
home paper, advising that the
colouist rates will expire April
30th; there is no time to lse.
These are one-way Ta'es and
good to almost any point in Ore

in this state and predicts great
advancement in every portion of
the state, in which Coos Bay will
