Society's Dilemma and Alternative
By Editor
Society's Dilemma and Alternative.—Mr. Mitchell tells us that "society's efforts should be directed not to crushing combinations of capital or combinations of labor;" but in the light of the developments of the year that has passed since Mr. Mitchell uttered those words it looks from a human view-point that society's, or the public's only way out of the difficulty is to crush or be crushed, to crush out these great combinations or be crushed by them both. In the one case it is the mere crushing of human machines, in the other case it is the crushing of men. It is the old conflict between men and things, and the organizations are bound to win, and mankind will again be crucified between the thieves of capital and labor trusts. But in Christ is there resurrection.
