THE POSSIBLE sTKlKF..
Tie News had occasion last week
lo express the hope that, despite
well-founded rumors. there would be
no strike of shopmen on the RkK
Island lines at this particularly bad
time of a particularly bad year, but
from evidence at hand a labor un-
l.eaval of some sort appears inevi-
table.

an official statement of the Rock Is-
land lines defining the position of
the company and its officers on the
demands of Hie men, which they pur-
port to enumerate The News pub-
lishes ti is statement as a matter of
ances of the men when they feel
ready to furnian as with an official
statement, which we suppose they
will do if the order comes to strike.
In unison with every other business
institution in Shawnee, we hope the
order will never come, for a strike,
like a battle, is bound to leave a
i rail of suffering in its w&ke.

opposition was large, nearly six to

more than one hundred men voted
on the proposition renders the decla-
ration highly unimpressive, despite
the prestige of the body in whose
name it is made. As an indication
of the sentiment of the country, or
even of its commercial element, this
vote is altogether negligible, and
whatever may be the disposition of
Congress with respect to the parcels
post, it is not apt to be perceptibly
influenced by the attitude of the

gress. as disclosed by this vote. On
the subject of currency reform, the
congress recogniied the need of legis-

They are nervous and restless, being
only quiet during the night when
