The sense of duty held by the president of the Pullman company doubtless represents the ideal in the minds of the best of the present employers as to their obligations toward their employes, but be projected this ideal more magnificently than the others. He was unique, therefore, in the magnitude of his indulgence, and in the magnitude of the disaster which followed it.

King Lear doubtless held the same notion of a father's duty that was held by the other fathers of his time but he alone was a king and had kingdoms to bestow upon his children. We may then take the relationship of this unusually generous employer at Pullman to his own townful of employes as at least a fair one, because so exceptionally liberal in many of its aspects. We may in later years learn to look back upon the industrial relationships in which we are now placed as quite as incomprehensible and selfish, quite as barbaric and undeveloped, as was the family relationship between Lear and his daughters. Historically considered, the relation of Lear to his children was archaic and barbaric, holding in it merely the beginnings of a family life, since developed. It will probably be easier to treat of the tragedy of the Pullman strike as if it were already long past when we compare it to the family tragedy of Lear which has already become historic to our minds and which we discuss without personal feeling. The industrial claim is so difficult the ties are so intangible that we are constantly ignoring them and shirking the duties which they impose. We have all had glimpses of what it might be to blaspheme against family ties to ignore the elemental claim they make upon us, but on the whole we have recognized them, and it does not occur to us to throw them over. The minds of all of us reach back to our early struggles, as we emerged from the state of self-willed childhood to a recognition of the family claim.

A comparative study of these two relationships presents an advantage, in that it enables us to consider the situation from the known experience toward the unknown. We also bear a part in the industrial relationship, but our ethics concerning that are still uncertain.

We have all shared the family relationship and our code of ethics concerning it is somewhat settled. Her attention was caught by the similarity of ingratitude suffered by an indulgent employer and an indulgent parent. In the midst of these discussions the writer found her mind dwelling upon a comparison which modified and softened all her judgments. If the responsibility of tolerance lies with those of the widest vision, it behooves us to consider this great social disaster, not alone in is legal aspect nor in its sociological bearings, but from those deep human motives, which, after all, determine events.Дuring the discussions which followed the Pullman strike, the defenders of the situation were broadly divided between the people pleading for individual benevolence and those insisting upon social righteousness between those who held that the philanthropy of the president of the Pullman company had been most ungratefully received and those who maintained that the situation was the inevitable outcome of the social consciousness developing among working people.

Every public-spirited citizen in Chicago during that summer felt the stress and perplexity of the situation and asked himself, 'How far am I responsible for this social disorder? What can be done to prevent such outrageous manifestations of ill-will?' It is impossible to justify such a course of rage and riot in a civilized community to whom the methods of conciliation and control were open. It sometimes seems as if the shocking experiences of that summer, the barbaric instinct to kill, roused on both sides, the sharp division into class lines, with the resultant distrust and bitterness, can only be endured if we learn from it all a great ethical lesson.

Those of us who lived in Chicago during the summer of 1894 were confronted by a drama which epitomized and, at the same time, challenged the code of social ethics under which we live, for a quick series of unusual events had dispelled the good nature which in happier times envelopes the ugliness of the industrial situation. It was eventually published as a magazine article in 1912. This speech was first delivered in 1895 at the Social Economics Conference in Chicago, IL, but was delivered many times from 1895 to 1897.
