TRADE UNIONS AND PICKETING.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SEECIATOR."7 SIR;—I read your frequent references to Trade Unionism and agree with most of them. Cannot some scheme be devised whereby when a strike is called, in -mine or cotton factory, those -who wish to work may be allowed to do so without interference from those who do not wish to work? The miners would have struck this spring had not their demands been conceded, but there were still one hundred thousand men who voted for "no strike," but would not have been allowed to carry their ballot principles into action. Will not Parliament make picketing illegal, and intimidation also ? There is almost sure to be a miners' strike if nationalization is rejected; why not let those win the coal, then, who want to?—I am, Sir,&c., A WORKMAN'S SON.
