THE STRIKE.

[Froji The Catholic Times.] The following wedgo of cast-iron veraoity is from the Wnmriqm daily: —" Now that the strike has collapsed there is one thing that the labour party should bear in mind, viz,, that those publio men and those journals which from the first told them what . •*"M. be, honestly and the issue wou... ' . ' , truthfully, were their triouu"' nlltl that those publio men and journals which encouraged them to proceed in » hopeless contest were thejr enemies'( s e 7 hare loved their enemies who lied to them, and hated their friends who told then, the truth I When the strike first commenced it was a question amongst thoughtful men whether it would last six weeks or eight weeks, but there was never a doubt as to its termination within some such period, We trust ppjv the labor party will be wise enough to recognise as its friends those, and those only, who have been truthful in their dealings with it, 1 ' To the foregoing we would add that those newspapers which h.ouiiiMon the Labor Party to its own lifiilfiing had precisely the samo ojij'ftHiiititics of forming a correct judgment „„ ~ nfcrike, its foolishness regarding t„u WB . ana certain failure, as tiiu^. ■ papers which warned the strikers ,tliey were making a mistake. therefore, that the pap'err'wffich encouraged the strike eithor bad no judgment to use or they deliberately 'deceived the Labor Party. The papers referred to can choose which bora of this dihitutua they like best, §!}<) roost oa it.
