It will encourage other workers who have contracts to strike in violation of their contracts. in the belief that the Department of Labor or some other mediating authority will call them into conference and that thereby they will get a part of what they are not entitled to under their contracts. It will encourage men to act on the theory that if I sue a man for $500. when I know he does not owe me a cent. some mediating board or power will call us into conference and advise the defendant that lie would better pay me $50 that he does not owe me than to hire a lawyer and go into court and defend the case. especially if I am not good for a judgment against mue for costs. In my humble opinion. if the Department of Labor would devote more effort to deporting anarchists and less to trying to get strikers engaged in an unlawful strike a part of their demands. which are inconsistent with the terms of their contract. it would be doing more good for the country. The coal situation. in my opinion. is a situation in which a little Grover Cleveland backbone would be useful. I believe it would be more beneficial to the country tian all of the conferences that may be held.
