The Yellow Journals and Labor Strikes

If some of the “yellow journals” were eliminated from this capital-and-labor contest, the strikes would be much sooner settled. They keep more bad blood stirred up between the parties in dispute than any other element. Every sensational thing said by leaders on either side is made the most of, and sometimes much more of than was intended, and explanations rarely ever follow. We are profoundly convinced that the employers and employed would much sooner get-together if it were not for the self-assumed mediators, the sensational journals aforesaid.
