They are engaged in a strike. It Is not necessary to raise the question as to whether it is a good strike or a bad strike. or whether the aims that the strikers seek to accomplish are for the benefit of the country at large or for the benefit of those who are engaged in it. It is sufficient to know that. were it not for this law. ships would be loaded today with contract laborers brought from the Mediterranean countries to be thrown into the coal mines to take the place of the labor that is now out on a strike. Thereby. as a penalty for entering upon a strike. those who are engaged in it and their families would be literally thrust from their homes and denied. except in some other calling or in some other locality. employmeat in the future. Therefore.
