The Press and Banner believes that the true facts in the matter would justi- ^ fy The State in bringing a further n indictment against some of the strikers in this matter. In the view of the e; Press and Banner, strikes cannot be promoted and made successful ex- jc cept through unlawful force and by unlawful methods. We, therefore, be-| m lieve that every strike is more or! ai less a conspiracy to defy the law. But it is true, as stated by The g( State, that not all the men in a giv- ^ en case take part in the violent meth- gi ods which are adopted. Perhaps ei, large numbers of them persuade themselves that such methods az^e not! )C to be resorted to. Perhaps only a|UI handful of the many hundreds in- j W( volved in a given strike resort to 'su such methods. But, it is equally true,! as pointed out by The State's edito-.ty, rial, that all the strikers share the jjr wages which such methods. are de- ^ signed to command. How then may a law-abiding citizen give his con-' r 1 V _ . I * sent to become, or tfo remain, a part1 ac of an organization which profits byjm murder and dynamite? That is a ques- j ar tion which a great many people are; asking. It is one which the law-abid-l < ing element in the labor unions mustica answer satisfactorily if they are to1 . continue to be considered "men of a'0jhigh order of intelligence and char-1 fr acter." In every other crime the man; ex who receives the loot is considered m. as bad as the man who goes out and gets it. . , br The editorial referred to is given er at length. It should be pondered and mj considered by everybody. The State says: # t pu "No more infamous crinte has ever been done in the South than the dynamiting of a freight train on the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic rail- ^ road, the killing of John Morris, the * \ engineer, and the injuring of three trainmen. 'Railroad transportation 1 ' r S6< has been calle^ a 'key industry.' When felons attack a train thpv aim not solely at the men who operate ^ ' and ride in it, but at all men, women . SOI # and children. If trains can be dynamited, men, women and children can ^ be starved and left to perish with . At cold. t "The railroad company has offered ? (a reward of $5,000 for the arrestv of v the -felons who placed the dynamite v . and the Governor of Georgia has of- ^ " fered another reward of $500. The life of the state of Georgia is at stake ^ "Lynching is a' crime evil enough, j ^ *but a man may be lynched in Georgia i V - without serious interference withjV the processes by which other men V live and earn. If trains are to be V dynamited in Georgia, the decent peo- V pie of the state would better move V out and abandon its territory to the V savages who are content with sav- V age conditions and can cope with V them. V "The strike of some of the railroad V operators had nothing to do with the V principle involved in this matter. The V question is whether the people ofjV Georgia have a right to travel on i V railroads and ship and receive goods | V hauled by them. If an engineman J V can not run his engine without the j V consent of other men and must suffer j V death because he disobeys them, civ- j V ilization in Georgia is at an end. |V '"Strike leaders in Atlanta vigor- V uosly disclaim knowledge of the out- V rage and J. R. Larrisy, an officer and V. railroad conductor, declares that the v union chiefs have sought to conduct an orderly strike.' We are entirely V willing to accept those statements as j V true but it is the business of the^V union men to see that the strike conducted in an orderly way. "If they have pride and faith their cause, it is for them to ,prot< it from disgrace. "Sympathisers with the preside of the railroad did not kill Engir man Morris. f* A 111 AC A/ fli A w AV*/?VnomIC nn/1 ?* ainci) vi IIIC niciuuaiiio anu JLC mers who live along the road did r place the dynamite on the train. "The union men were not t guilty parties. "Who did this deed? "If the union men have a cau ivhich they can not separate frc alliance with the cruelest and mo :owardly class of murderers, it is :ause that they can not afford ;upport. . "If they can not prevent the vile vretches living from striking tl 'oulest blow conceivable, in the upjtosed interest, they are place whether they will or not, in the pos ion of recipients of . the favor < hese wretches. , "What are they going to do abot V ^'Surely they will not be conter rith 'vigorous disclaimers.' Surel !iey will not be satisfied that othe ten, though unknown to them an ithout their consent or approva rigage in a campaign of assassins on because they have given up thei >bs. "Railroad conductors and engine en are not merely mechanics. The; *e men of a high order of intelli jnce and character ,as a rule. Fo jnerations here in the South the; ive enjoyed the respect and the re ird of their fellaw citizens. No oth class of men is more heartily am illy trusted. The place that the; ive won, whether organized ii lions or not, in public esteem, is orth a great deal more than th< m involved in a wage dispute. "Granting, and we gladly grant it at the railroad workers along th< le of the Atlanta, Birmingham & tlantic abhor the crimes that hav< ten done, the question arises wheth they will make that abhorrenc* tive and effective. No body of goot en can quietly wrap their cloaki ound them and accept the wages rived through murder. "If a war against Georgia shall b< rried on by the felons secretly ii ihalf of railroad operatives. thos< eratives can not save themselves om being regarded public enemies :cept by taking the field against th< urderers. "The members of the railroat otherhoods can better afford to op ate the trains of the,Atlanta, Bir ingham & Atlantic at no wages thar allow their craft to be injured ir iblic respect."
