THE RIGHTS OF LABOR.

Just at this time questions affecting
the rights of labor are being ventilated
in the courts. Nobody questions the
right of wage earners to organize for mu-
tual benefit, nor does any one doubt the
right of every man to refuse to work for
a lesser sum than he deems sufficiently
remunerative. But il workingmen have
the right to organize, so too have manu-
facturers and employers, and SO also
have other men to either join or decline
to join either a trade union or a manu-
facturers' association.
But when there are controversies be-
tween employers and employed and the
latter leave the service of the former
they have exhausted their only right.
They have no right to prevent, except by
the exercise of moral suaslon, the en-
gagement of others to fill their places.
The troubles of the Ann Arbor railroad
show to what serious extremeties labor
organizations will sometimes 90. The
men engaged by that corporation had a
misunderstanding with the company and
left their places which were then filed
by others. To bring the Ann Arbor
people to terms and to secure the dis
charge of the men who had taken the
positions they had voluntarily abandoned
the employees who vacated them, through
the organization to which they belong,
caused the PRONUNCIATION of an order
forbidding members of the brotherhood
on connecting roads to handle Ann Arbor
cars. Proceedings were at once institut-
ed against employees of the Lake Shore
company under the federal commerce
act. Injunctions were granted by United
States Judge Taft and United States
Judge Kicks, practically restraining rail-
read employees from striking or cooper
ating with their brethren engaged in
strikes on other roads. The iniunctions
were issues to compel Chief Arthur of
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Enei-
neers and Chief Sargent of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen to refrain
from from any action that would promote
the strike on the Ann Arbor road. No
set of men, no matter how numerous or
important they may be, have a right to
paralyze the commerce and iniure the
welfare of half continent, or even of a
limited number of other and innocent
persons, in order to compel compliance
with tbs claims they may make, no mat
ter how just it may be. 1t is assuming
altogether too much when the head of a
labor organization may command that
certain trains, or certain cars, or certain
freight, shall not be moved by railroad
corporations because some other corpo-
ration by which they have been previ-
ously moved employs men who do not
belong to that labor organization. The
litigation which has been going on in the
United States district court at Toledo for
several days raises questions of great
The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1893-04-07

importance which are to be passed upon
for the first time by the United States
courts.
Judges Kicks and Taft yesterday an
nounced that they would render decis-
ions on April 3D. Their findings will be
awaited with great interest.
But there is still another case which is
exciting iterest in labor circles which
has been passed upon by Justice Adams
of Rochester Charles Curran,a compe-
tent engineer secured employment of the
Miller brewing company of Rochester,
but because he did not belong to l.. A.
1,796. X. of L., the president of that or
ganization secured his discharge. Curran
thereupon sued Louis Galen, as president
of the assembly, for $40, 900 damages. In
his defense Galen set up that there was
no malice intended toward the plaintiff
and maintained that Curran's discharge
was in pursuance of an agreement enter
ed into between the local assembly and
the Brewerc' association, of which the
Miller brewing company is member,
that no workman should be employed in
the brewery who was not member of
the union. To this answer A, G.. Warner
attorney for the plaintiff, interposed a
demurrer.
Justice Adams, in sustaining the de-
murrer, takes broad and high ground in
behalf of individual liberty and against
the exactions of trade unions. His de-
cision and the accompanying opinion are
destined, in all probability, to exercise
great weight in determining the right of
honest labor to earn a livelihood. The
defendants" says the court, chad per
feet right, as we have seen, to unite with
this or any other organization, but they
have no right to insist that others should
do so, and when they make, plaintiffs re-
fusal to join it a preteXt for depriving
him of his right to labor, they interfere
with his personal liberty in manner
and to an extent the law will not counte-
nance, and their action, instead of afford
ing Profession to.operates as restraint
upon honest labor"
1t is understood that the question in
volved in the Curran-Galen case will be
taken to the court of appeals for final adj
judication.-Tr Telegram, March 3Oth.

was less than the average yearly con-
sumption for the past decade. Average
exports for the years 1882 to 1891 inclu.

2s per cent of the average crops grown.
The Danubian annual exports average
nearly half as much as America. Russia
exports about % per cent as much as we

about one-quarter as much as United
States. Germany has more than dozen
mills grinding corn for human food.
Corn is now cheaper than any previous

United States grew on an average, the

export but few oats. Every State grows
some oats for home uses, except Nevada

HOW TO MAKE A PLUM PUDDING.

INV IL n LIZ III
The English make their plum pudding
some time before it is to be used, and
then it must be put on early in the morn
ing and boiled for many hours. The re-
ceipt we here give and have often used
ourselves is an American improvement,
we think, and has the advantage of be-
ing so digestible that dyspeptics may
partake of it, in most cases, with impu-
nifty. Two honrs' steady boiling is
enough to cook it to perfection, although
it will not be hurt by being kept longer
over the fire. The size given is for a
company of twenty persons, and if any
is left, it is always better the second day,
sliced and stewed in sauce. Seed enough
raisins to fill quart measure heaping
full; prepare pint of dried currants, a
half-pint of preserved citron cut into
small pieces, and pint of peeled apples
chopped fine; add a pound of butter,
creamed, or the same quantity of fresh
beef suet nicely shredded, and heaping
quart of stale light bread crumbs. If 1t
is more convenient to measure than
weigh pint of butter or suet is the
right quantity. Beat up light and sep
arately the whites and yolks of eggs
mix them in a large bowl or tray, with l
teaspoonful of salt, without which in
gredient the best-made plum pudding
will be insipid. Add half-pint cup of
sugar and l nutmeg grated very fine.
Have ready a light quart of sifted flour;
with some of it flour your fruit thorough
ly. Proceed to mix as follows: having
your well-beaten eggs r. ady in their
proper receptacle, add to them pint of
milk, then stir in the Toured fruit,
creamed butter, and bread crumbs, last
ly putting in just enough sifted flour to
make the mass stick together IN lump.
This will probably consume about the
quart provided. Next dip your pudding
cloth of stoutest mnslin or jeans in boil
ing-hot water, and dredge over the in
side thick coating of flour. Put your
pudding into it; tie up tightly, but at
the same time leave room for it to swell.
Have plenty of boiling water in roomy
pot, which must be filed up again with
the same if it boils away too much. By
inverting plate in the bottom of your
pot you will be sure the pudding cannot
stick to the bottom and burn, and if you
have strong cloth tied with trust
worthy Irvine, water cannot get in-the
two worst mishaps that can befall the in
experienced cook. Resume of ingredi-
ents; quart of raisns, pint of sliced
citron, pint of chopped apples, pint of
dried currants, pint of milk, a teaspoon
full of salt, l quart of bread crumbs,
| quart of flour, eggs, l pint of butter,
cupful of sugar. -Harper's Bazaar.
