By Lewic_s Milligan
The railway strike has been
costly affair for the Canadian
people. The millions of dollars lost
to the railways and to the strikers
themselves are only a part of what
has been lost to the country gen-:
erally in the suspension of trade
and commerce. But from t}ho point

own interests.. Whatever they
may-have .gained in hiereased wage
rate, ,and reduced working hours
(and it must be remembered that
these were granted in large measure
before the strike), they have 0uf
`fared the total loss , di;. take-home
Pity, ` and they have deprived the,
railway companies of ; millions' of
dollars of income. 'So , that o the
companies are nog r less, able • to
meet the increased casts involved
in the, union, demi nds `than they
were l?efOre: Moreover, elle tempor-
ary . surpensi*n of railway services
may result in the permanent diver-
sion . of trafe to other means of
transportation. , •
The lesson 'to be learned frpin_
this strike -and it applies to all
strikes in these days of highly
organized' and inte^�rated indu.
and: services ---is that employe
can-
not injure their employers without
iii ori their ear ownvital in

All industries;- businesses and ser-
vices depend 'for their maintenance
and their very' existence _upon the
goodwill and . faithful co-operation
between employees . and manage-
ment. Antagonism between the • two
is mutually destructi�re and suicidal.
