THE BOYCOTT.

Strenuous efforts to outlaw boycott
ting by workingmcn are being made
by the capitalist hustlers. Yet they
are so inconsistent as to continuous
Iy practice boycotting in various
ways, such us blacklisting employees,
fellow business men, etc.
A correspondent in New York,
not wagc-workcr, sends the follow
ing:
TO the lTorhmen's Idrocate,
The courts, in dealing with boycotting,
do not at all consider the cause or reason
for the boycott-the act per Sc being lille
gal. The Times takes every means to
emphasize the illegality and Nervousness
Of boycotting; yet its editor recommends
boycotting--so has the SWt--in connec-
ton with the Richmond girl cigarette
pictures.
And the following quotation from
the New York Times bears out the
charge of: inconslstency-not to say
dishonesty-of that sheet in treating
of the boycott by workngmen:
SELF respecting people will probably
conclude that the only way in which
they can mark the disgust they feel for
his commercial methods is to abstain
from buying the wares to which their at
tention is called in this Disgusting fash
ion.
The boycott, then, is a moral
force, and is successful or unsuccess-
ful according rs the public sentiment
recognizes or rejects the claims OF
those who appeal to the public for
their verdict.
Still, there are judicial nincom-
poops who befoul the bench by rs.
Stunning to punish a crime, while in
reality they are committing a crime
against class, when they "mter
pref" the law to mean that working
men have no right to appeal to tn,
public to assist them in II just caus,
by the exercise of Il legal right,
