LABOR RECOGNIZED BY LAW
Union Pacific Wage Question to be De
cIded In Court

clded In Court
OMAHA, Neb, March 3l.-General
Solicitor Thurston Of the Union Pacific
yesterday proposed to the employees
that they refer the wage question to a
commissioner instead of trying it in
court Grand Chiefs Arthur, Clark, Sar-
gent, and Wilkinson ana their attor.
neys expressed themselves as not favor
able to this plan. The grand chiefs say
that they want first to have certain
principles of law laid down. The
principal questions which they wish
passed upon are the status of labor or
CARNATIONS, the question of tonstruc-
tive mileage, especially on the noun
tain divisions, and the stability of
rules and regulations governing EN-.
ployment Judge Caldwell decided
that as long as the matter had been
taken to the court 1t might as well be
settled there. This is the first time
that labor has been recognized by law.

Under the O'Neil law, the President
can appoint committee to investigate
troubles between railroads and their
employees. Under the same act railroad
companies and their employees engaged
in dispute may refer it to a board of
arbitration, who may hear evidence and
report TO the commissioner of labor at
Washington. AS an efficient means of
preventing or settling strikes on rail.
roads this act amounts to nothing, 1t
is entirely optional with the railroads
and their employees whether the board of
arbitration be called in, and if it be
called i'll and render a decision nobody
is bound to accept it, and the board has
no power to enforce it. AS to the provis-
ion for the appointment by theIPresident
of commission to investigate that
amounts to nothing as far as the settle
ment of the strike is concerned. Like a
good many other laws, relating to labor
this was passed entirely for buncomte.

1t Mr.. Pullman's statement contains
the truth and the whole truth, the re-
duction of wages in his car building es-
adjustment was forced by the dullness
OF the times, and there was no reaona-
BILE ground for complaint on the part of
his employees. When company is will
ling to share with the workmen the
effects OF hard times, as apparently the
Pullman Company was, it goes as far
as can reasonably be asked. Had Mr..
Pullman cut down wages to keep up the
profits OF the company, then he would
have been open to criticism. AS regards
his refusal to arbitrate, which is said to
have been the immediate cause of the
trouble between himself and his work
men, he undoubtedly acted within the
limits of his legal and moral rights
when he declined. 1t is question, how
ever, whether 1t would not have been wis
er on the whole to have conceded some
thing on this point for the sake of
peace. Surely if the case were SO clear
as his statement makes out he would
arbitration which his employees asked.
No board of arbitrators could have
decided against him on the point at is
sue if his statement is in strict accord
ance with the facts. On the other hand,
a decision in his favor would have had
SO great an effect upon public sentiment
that probably even so reckless a man
as Debs would not have undertaken to
espouse the cause of the workmen, and
the country might have been spared the
great loss and Inconvenience of two
weeks partial interruption of railway
traffic. But while he says this we do not
mean to convey the impression that Pull
lman's refusal to arbitrate furnishes tho
slightest defence for the sympathetic
strike engineered by Debs. Had Pullman
shut down his works without any reason
whatever, except that it pleased him to
do SO, there would have been no excuse
for this strike. Whether man shall con-
tfnue business or stop, it is clearly his
province to decide, and every attempt to
coerce him into different course from
the one he has decided upon is clearly
an invasion of his rights. 1t is just as
clearly an invasion of his rights as it
would beEan invasion of the rights of
his employees if he should attempt to
compel them to work when they did
not want to.

THE HOME.
A Woman's Vacation.

The busy woman should, but never
does, rest. With body, mind and not
infrequenly temper, all quivering from
the strain of the fall and winter work
she will cheerfully confess to a wild
longing to find herself lodged in some
vast wilderness away from the sights and
sounds of civilized existence, and draw a
free breath before she takes up the bur-
den of life again. But should you
placidly suggest her doing that same
thing, if she is able to express her scorn
at all, she will say: And leave this?
And that? And the other? Couldn't
possibly"
One cannot help wondering whether
force of habit will not bring the same
reply to her lips when the last grim
summons comes. Death is about the
only thing for which. this generation of
hustlers takes time, and that only I'M
der compulsion.
A week spent anywhere, anywhere
out of the world" where she lives and
moves and has her busy being all the
rest of the year-can make a tagged.

I am in favor of local option and

it would be much more of a benefit to

that the taxpayers of the cities should
