The only thing that those who
strike can hope for is a concession
from the monopoly that is oppress
ing them. N iue limes out of ten the
strikers fail to get concessions even
when they are entirely in the right.
And when the concession is forced,
it is done at a great sacrifice of time
and money. They are still at the
mercy of the monopoly and liable to
be oppressed again at any time.
In short, no strike even if every
demand is granted can ever remove
the cause and hence as a remedy
have always been temporary, inade
quate and f utile.
There is one, and only one remedy
for the greed and oppression of mo
nopoly and that is at the ballot box.
Let the strikers use the time and
money they waste in strikes in elect
ing Legislators who will legislate
for all the people instead of monop-
lies and trusts against the people.
l-.very business and professional man
who wants to see peace and order re
