Labor Boycotting Labor.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2d.-The Times saws
editorially: Unreasonable as are many of
the boycotts lately ordered by incopsiderate
labor organizations, it would naturally be
expected that labor would not boycott
labor, but several recent boycott orders are
neither more nor less than labor boveotting

In ninety-nine cases out of one hundred it
must boycott labor much more than cap
ital. In nineteen cases out of twenty il is

them best, regardless of labor The boycott

Henley's Charges Against the Union Pa
sific.
New YoRK, April 2d.-The Tribune has
an editorial which speaks of the charges of
Congressman Henley, of California, that
the Union Pacific had spent $500, 600 in Ie-
gal expenses in past years, and says: The
zeal of the excellent Representative of Cal
ifornia needs 10 be tempered with a little
more judgment. Investigations show that
the gifted Henley has been indulging in
multiplication. He multiplied the actual
figures by ten and added cipher. The
legal expenses of the company at Boston.
New York and Washington, and in four
States and four Territories, were actually
$50. GOO, instead of $500 600. Editors who
may be tempted hereafter TO get excited
over Henley's figures of arithmetic or
speech, will do well to divide him by ten
before they begin.
