The men who bring about the trouble and keep it going never suffer any hardships there­ from. They not only don’t get shot by soldiers but they don’t lose any jobs and their wives and chil­ dren don’t feel the pinch of want. If there was some way to provide that the pay of agitators stopped with the beginning of a strike and only began again after the matter was settled, there would be a decided falling off in labor troubles.
