LABOR DAY.

i '".Labor day today has this' aspect, there is but little dissension between J&bor and capital, the general prosperity of the country is being shared by the largest number In the history of ^he United States, and particularly gratifying is the nation's escape from '•*. great railroad strike. The day ^. suggests some early his.tory of the tabor movement. The first strike on 'V*-£eiord was that of the Roman flute »players of Galba. The first strike on

In the United States was that

of the New York bakers in 1741. The ^historic strike of the country is the -ft «0-called Pullman strike, the blighting 'Effects of which were felt disastrously 4.'^

^ere, many Terre Haute men being blacklisted in a profession to which tfaey had devoted the best years of their lives. The strike started in May, £V"W, in the Pullman Car company

siiops near Chicago, with a demand for higher wages.

After several weeks of struggling the strike was extended to the railroads -v. "Which had refused to cease running '•£, Ihillman cars. i, At that time nearly all the railway employes of the country, with the ex-

Caption of the engineers, were organ- •'. fafed into the American Railway Union, ^3? which Eugene V. Debs was president. The contest which followed became a test of strength between this union and the Railway General Manftgers' association. By June 28 eleven railroads centering at Chicago has been crippled. Before July 1 railroad traffic largely suspended through the VWfest and south. Chicago was the II pie of rioting, and much property 11 .destroyed. The local ^rid state authorities could not or would not preserve order. *l- On July 6, 1894, President Clevel&hd, on the ground of preventing ob-

Structlon of the mall service and for the protection of other federal inter«pts, sent a number of federal troops $ to Chicago. Almost immediately the sttike collapsed. ^This bit of history reminds us today

PRO AND CON.

Mr. Mique O'Brien in his adjacent dramatic column recounts how the English actor has a grievance. The English actor feels that American talent is usurping his field Bad depleting his earning capacity. On this side of the ocean It is the American actor who bemoans the preference of New York -•nanagers for English straight performers.

In all truth there has been a great rt:sh of English actors to this country since the war started. The average English aetor is an excellent artist, too, thorough, Blnoere, polished in his work and genuinely desirable? He can always be sure of an engagement In New York, a fact that brings many of hig profession over here. Usually he is sane and sensible in the salary he expects, even if he does know that the fact of his being an Imported article enhances his value on the American stage. Nevertheless, the American actor does not give him a very warm welcome.

The English variety artist complains that the American vaudevillian is crowding him out of his place in English playhouses, so that the whole situation may be regarded as a practical application of the good old rule that "turn and turn about is fair play." Some American actors even go,so far as to insist that their English cousins are trying to blacklist American acts. However, it is some satisfaction to American actors to know that if the English are crowding them in New York, they are getting even for it in London.

GOING IN.

Today's dispatches indicate that Greece each hour grows nearer a declaration of war. Her bed has been made for her ever since she was compelled to become the rendezvous of the allies in the east two years ago. The belligerency of Greece will doubtless close the list of entries for the European war. No other European nation is near the verge of war, nor is there at present any conceivable reason why. any of them should plunge into the fiery whirlpool.

The neutrals number six. They are Switzerland, Spain, Holland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Three of these, Switzerland, Norway and Denmark, have never even acknowledged the pos

sibility of belligerency. Spain has, at times, indicated a feeling of hostility against Germany while Sweden has not attempted to disguise her unfriendliness to England and Russia. Holland, placed in a more difficult position than any other neutral nation, has maintained her defensive force at almost full strength for instant use against whichever belligerent might Violate her neutrality.

Either one of two causes might drive any of these six nations into the war. Gross violation of their national rights might force them to fight as Belgium has fought. Hope of material territorial reward might induce them to enter the conflict, as it has Induced Italy and Roumania. It is scarcely conceivable that either of these causes will become operative. It would not be advantageous for any of the present belligerents to assail any of the present neutrals, and no rewards oould be offered which would be sufficiently valuable to make the game worth the candle.

Greece may remain the one doubtful state, or she may fulfill the expectations of the allies and'make the plunge in the near future. Only the personality of King Constantino has kept his nation from committing her future to the chances of war, and the influence of the king is rapidly diminishing.

Uncle Sam always cleans up every locality his soldiers take charge of— and does it perfectly. It suggests that Uncle Sam would be an excellent boss of street departments. For one thing, he has unlimited funds.
