The scene which was enacted in

within few feet of each other. and
breaking away from the deputy who

herself into her husbands arms. They

bean held all through the East and by
good many of the railroad organs of this
Stats that the entire responsibility for the
July troubles rested upon the shoulders OF
the Railway Union and its allies. The
Labor Commission finds, however, that
the conflict was provoked by the lawless
action of the General Managers Associa-
ton. 1t was the Managers Association
that SET the example that this union OF
railway employees followed. The commits
sion finds that after setting the Railway
Union an example 1t seemed arrogant and
absurd to declare that there was nothing
to arbitrate.
One Of the conclusions of the commits
sion is that the read mess to strike sympa-
thsiically was the result of the growth of
the Managers Association. The twenty
four railroads, representing a capital OF
more than $4,000. 100000, have formed a
com bination to compel employees 10 accept
such conditions as the association might
choose 10 require. The arrival of troops at
Chicago was considered opUortune, from
the fact that the police sympal hized with
the strikers rather than with The corpora
lions. A suppression of violence py Fed
eral force was preferable to no suppress
sion at all, but the commission let's it ap-
pear that the party with which the Gov
ernment acted was in fac. the party pri-
marily responsible for the violence.

GETTING TIRED OF 1T,

There is straight issue between Clerk
Hardenbergh and Clerk Gilmore of the
Baldwin Hotel Oh one side and Jack Har-
Tigan. newspaper reporter, on the other.
MIR. Harrigan's evidence is to the effect
that Clerk Gilmore had sent up his card to
mythical persons represented as living at
the hotel just as he would to regular
guests. The point of this testimony is that
Mr.. Gilmore had on the witness-stand been
unable to remember that persons he had
admitted to be living in the hotel did live
there. 1t is no wonoer that Judge Wallace
is getting tired of the con Trajectory stories
of Witnesses. 1t must be irritating to look
on and see one so-called respectable man
after another get on the stand and perjure
himself. But we trust Judge Wallace will
summon patience to his aid. He is en-
gagged in great work. There seems now
q chance to get evidence that will consign
certain complacent parties who have had a
hand in stufing the register to the peni-
tentiarV.

NOVEMBER, 1894.
A CRY OF DISTRESS.

1t was expected that the newspaper
champion of Boss Burns would denounce
the exercise of authority by which Judge
Wallace has opened the way to a source of
information which may prove of the
greatest value to the st tt. Our Burns
contemporary laments that suffer Cohen
SHOULD have been sent to prison for his
cOntemptuous refusal to answer questions
and chides the Judge for not remaining at
home or in chambers while bail was being
sought for the witness whose 81 decline to

the court. Not a word of eensure has the
Burns organ for the Police Judge who
temporarily defeated Judge Wallace's
order by accepting defective bonds. On
the contrary. the Judge who read the pro-
visions of the code governing such cases
and followed 1t is held up to pub Gen.
sure, while the Police Court Judge who
disregarded the provisions of the code is
referred 70 as having done his duty.
The investigation now going on in Judge
Wallace's court has passed out of the
domain OF politics. The question now is if

just at the moment when a little light is

NOT LEGAL ADVICE.

The questions and answers in the stuff
ers' case are often amusing. For instance.
Lawyer Nougues and Brush Hardenbsrgh
held the following colloquy:
Nougues-Have you taken any legal advice
as to what you should say on the stand?
interchangeable, L have not.
Nougues-Have you talked over 1t with any
one?
Observation-Disclosures. Pye talked OF IL.
Nougues-With -~Rom?
Harden bergh-Colonel Kowalsky.
AS Colonel KowalskY is an attorney in
the case Mr.. Nougues would have been
justified In. asking the witness if he did
not think talk with Kowalsky was some
what in the nature of taking legal advice,
but Mr.. Nougues does not seem to have
thought that Kowalsky could impart legal
advice if SO disposed. The only thing Mr..
Harden bergh could recollect bout his talk
with Kowaisky was that be could not
recollect what it was about. 1t may have
been about the weather. 1t may have
been about anything but the matter that
Que would suppose would be uppermost in
the minds of both Harden bergh and Knw-
alsky. 1t was at this point in the proceed
tngs that the court made suggestion to
the witness to the effect that he had better
apply his Christian name to his memory.

FAULT NOT ALL ON ONE SIDE.

The repo TT of Labor Commissioner Car
roll D. Wright and his associates, John d.
Kiernan of New York aud Nicholas B.
Worthngton of Illinois. is an instructive
document. A careful perusai of 1t may
convince railroad managers that their
triumph over the American hallway
Union was after all somewhat lawless
exercise of physical power.
The report declares that the Railway
Managers Association was without
authority in law. The report says:
The commission questions whether any legal
authority, statutory or otherwise, can be found
to justify some OF the features of the associa-
tiOn which have come to light In this investi-
cation. II we regard its practical workings
rather than It's professions as expressed In its
constitution, the General Managers Associa-
ton has no more standing In law than the old
trunk-line pool 1t cannot corporate. because
railroad charters do not authorize roads to
for services and wages, nor to force their &C.
ceptance, nor to battle with strik ers. 1t Is
usurpatiOn OF power not granted.
Again the commission says that the
General Managers Association sis an
illustration of persistent aud shrewdly
disguised plan Of corporations to over
reach their limitations and to usurp indi-
rectly powers and rights OF contemplated
in their charters and not obtain able from
the people in their Legislatures" The
Labor Commission perceives in this
assumption of unauthorized powers ian
aggregation of power and capital danger
Gus to the people and their liberties as
well as to their employees and rights"
Another conclusion is that the Govern
ment must restrain corporations within
the law and prevent them from forming
unlawful and dangerous combinations"
This is the first recent intimation from
an official source that organized capital
could do wrong. We have heard much
about the restraint the Government must
impose upon labor. but very little about
the restraint that the Government should
impose upon capital The doctrine has
