STRIKES AND "THE PUBLIC"
W'c do not believe in strikes, hut we do believe in the
tiling for which men and women strike. One could almost
make a paradox about the strike, as an industrial weapon,
and say it is never so ineffective as when it is effective. The
strike has become so effective that we believe it will have
t" 0.
Think of 400,000 soft coal miners going on strike at
Ihe beginning of winter. No words could describe the mis
ery that would come to this county if no soft coal were to
be mined until spring. The railroads would soon have to
stop, factories would close, and we should be in about the
economic condition of Russia where people starve for lack
of transportation to bring to them the food that is near at
hand.
Vh
also of the Attorney General of the
L'nited
Slates claiming and exercising the power, under a war
statute, to attempt, by court-action, to break up the strike.
It is very (rue that the coal miners do not appear to have
paid much attention to the attorney general, but it is also
very true that the people need coal and will not forever tol
erate a lack of it. If court-orders do no good, court-orders
wiU not be tried again.
What can be tried? Can men be forced at the bayonet's
point, to mine coal? Not very well. Can the regular army
be sent: into the mines? No; shooting and digging coal are
distinct occupations and a coal miner must know his bus
ness. What can the people do, then? They can do what they
should have done long ago. They can awaken to the reali
zation of the fact that it is their business to see that-the
coal miners get a fair deal without striking. They can set
up, in their government, the machinery with which to give
the miners a fair deal. That is all they can do and that, they
must do. ' '
The measure of the people's obligation to the coal min
ers is the extent of the calamity that would follow if no
coal were to be mined. This is a fact that the public seems
never to comprehend. If it would be such a calamity for
the miners to cease working during the winter, it inevitably
lollows that the service they perform by working is as
great as l.he calamity that 'would follow prolonged idle
ness. If everything would have to stop if the mines were
in it worked, there is no escape from the conclusion that
when everything is running it is because the coal mines are
al vi running.
I '.very service carries with it a corresponding obliga
tion. This obligation exists whether it is recognized or
imt. We n, recognize- such obliga! ions. When a : trike
occurs in this industry or that, we, as "the public", always
.".ssuiue ,111 attitude of injured innocence and denounce the
sinkers ! -r inconveniencing us. 1 1 we have to walk miles
! work, because of a street railway strike, wc "demand"
through our newspapers, that this outrageous strike, which
is so much inconveniencing "the public," be stoppet
In such cases, 'the public is never innocent. Up to
the moment o! stiik;n the public has always accepted the
