Counsel Against Strikes

I have always counseled against strikes. They should be used only in extreme cases. When strikes are declared, the men should go home and stay there. If any man can be secured to take their places, let them take them. They will be of a kind of no benefit to their employer or themselves. Non-union men should not be forced into a labor organization any more than a man into a certain church. Converts by force are of no value. In the past there has been too much coercion and too little instruction and education along these lines.
