Drowatiky, Ancnt. Strikes. For tlic past live years the number and magnitude of strikes has been gradually inercasing and to-day wo find the cause for these disastrous labor disturbances and an adequate remedy for their prevention, is one of tho most engrossing and complicated questions presented to our people. It is -one of those questions that present phases and conditions that arc almost beyond legis- lativc and judicial control, as it involves the rights of both individuals and corporations to exercise tho.se personal rights guaranteed to them by the laws and the constitution of our government, as well as the inherent rights that our government recognizes as belonging to both to manage and direct their individual afl'airsi Strikes are one of the extraordinary measures that our laboring class resort to in order to protect themselves from the encroachments of organized capital in the hands of unscrupulous and grasp ing corporations. Sometimes there are just grounds for such measures, but often they are inaugurated without that Di'oiHT consideration that should be given to so grave-and stringent mcth' ods of correction.

Labor is sometimes unreasonable and too exacting in its demands, and quite often capital is too slow to rccognix) tho just claims and grievances of those whom it employs, but in all instances the consequent result of their actions should be looked at and due regard giv en to the interests of the public that are iuvolved in these disputes. But past history toadies us that botli of these elements totally disregard the third party to all these strikes. They fail to consider tho interests of tho pub' lie which almost invariably suffers the greatest injury resulting from them, when at the same time tho general pub lic are free from any blame whatever in the dispute. Not only are they entirely blameless in the matter, but they have no means of securing redress or protection, but are obliged to bear a large share of the burden of annoyance find injury arising from such measures tiie same as if they were tho direct cause of tlieni being resorted to. It is this phase of the case that demands the attention and consideration of our law makers.

While we recognize the right of every man to work for whom he pleases and to leave his work at will as well as the right of the corporation to say what remunatiou it will give its employes, we believe that some way ought to be provided whereby they could be compelled to settle their grievances aud disputes, The theory of compulsory arbitration, while it may be oh lection able on some grounds, is, be yond doubt the most plausible method of allaying the evil that has yet been suggested. We believe that if there was a law of compulsory arbitration the number of strikes would lc greatly decreased. The tak of providing a practical method is a complicated one, and will Lave to be worked out by degrees; but the subject is clearly coming to be so important that it can not be safely ig liored, and it is highly importaut that our legislators should put their heads together and give the country some wholesome legislation upon the matter.
