GOODALE, President Flowers for All Occasions Phone 193 ??- Camden, S. C. ? Violence In Strikes. European observers are almost In variably amused at* the tendency to violence which Is a characteristic of strikes as generally conducted In Amor ica. The correspondent in this coun try of the Manchester Guardian, an Mceedlngly liberal journal which Is more than friendly to labor, discusses this situation at considerable length in a recent number of that new?i?aper. Time and again, he jwints out, Ameri can labor struggles have 4>een> "-a se ries of bloody battles." Writing on July 12, he notes that "soldiers?Fed eral or State?are, or have very re cently been, on strike duty in 15 of the 48 States," In some instances suc ceeding In restoring cvalin, in other cases aggravating the situation. "Certainly nowhere else In- the world," says this observer, "Is the In dustrial struggle s<> consistently and bitterly violent. American labor has always boen conservative in theory, but violent and bloody In action. Its employers have l>een ivady to; meet .violence, or. more- often, to anticipate i it. Tiiey bine and arm their own shrike guards, and often equip and pay county sheriffs." There are. of course, many communi ties where the prevailing sentiment among men on strike is absolutely <>i> IK>sed to any resort to force. This has been true generally, we think, in the South. But the fact that in geueral major strikes in this country have been attended by outbursts of savage law lessness accounts in considera&lo meas ure for tiie deep prejudice wlileh the public at large in America feels against the strike as a weapon of T>ai>or. The Manchester Guardian's American cor respondent think* rubor would hq^e* made greater progress la this country. If Its leaders had shown more dili gence in suppressing violencv. "Per haps the extent to which, the energy of American T^ibor is burned out in these violent battles explains why in constructive statesmanship American I>ahnr is so far behind Hrltlsh lJTbor," he my*. Tho strike is a cltimsy weapou uL the best. When it is associated In the poqmlar mind with actions that horrify and terrify the public it cannot bnt suffer serious discredit. Two of the worst curses which. af flict this country are intolerance and the mob spirit. Americans arc refidy too often to condemn a cause or lynch a suspect without a hearing. Tho vio lence which so frequently accompanie* a strike is sympomatic of both these evils. They should be fought both within and -without the ranks of Labor. ?Charleston News and Courier.
