CREEDENS EXAMPLE FOLLOWED
Police Odicor Thorne Admits the CoIIee-
tiOn of BIackmail.

New YORK, Dec. l7-Policeman Augus-
tus j. Thorne, who was for nearly thirteen
years special officer" in the Leonard

promises to be- quite as startling in its re-
suits rs that made by Timothy j Creeden.

sidewalk in front of his store with boxes
and barrels Of merchandise.
When Captain Stephenson was on trial
before the police commissioners Thorne
denied under oath that he had ever taken
messages TO Edwards, or that he had ever
seen him. When stephenson was con
victed of the otfcnse Of blackmailing Ed
wards Thorne was promptly Indicted One
nights confinement in the Tombs prison

The United States labor comw3 .uu-
Hon. Carroll d. Nrvht is co-uu .e.
a now system of worl '5 Wago3 luaa
be devised which shall DO entire ius#ca
to both capital and labor and at the
Same time recognize the moral forces at
work coutomporanaously with the in
dusuial forces
In q paper in The Forum, Mr. Wright
asks two questions; First, shall q man
conduct his business as he pleascs? Sec
ond, during periods Of depression, must
the savings or reserve fund of labor be
drawn upon while the savings of capt
tai, or its reserve fund and dividends,
remain intact? To the first of these
questions the labor commissioner finds
a ready answer A man may not con-
duct his business as he pleases when by
20 doing he interferes with the conven-
ienoe, business, health or comfort Of his
noighbors or the public. Society has al
ready displayed its right to interfere
with private business that damages the
health or interests Of the public Illus
trations of this are given in the case Of
factories whose products and refuse are
deleteriOus to t2sijn or property owners
whose land is necessary TO the public
gr5d II man seeks to make fence,
or turn a wGter course in such way as
TO damage his neighbor, tho law steps
in and says he shall not do it In the
same way society has the right to step
in nud compel a man to arbitrsta or
turn over his business to somebody else
who will arbitrate when large mum bors
Of people are damaged by his refusal to
do either ''The impairment Of capital
is the loes Of labor; the impairment of
labor is the loss of capital.
The second question, whether capital
should not draw on it's reserve funds in
hard times, just as well as labor, Mr.
Wright leaves 20 his readers to answer
He merely asks whether, when work
men are idle, they must use up all their
savings to live on, while the dividends
Of capital are the same and its reserve
fund remains full, or whether there
should not be some mutual sharing of
burdens The answer to this question
win go far toward settling the labor
question, the writer thinks.
Mr. Wright remarks incidentally that
those corporations that voluntarily raise
in good times the wages cut down in
bad times rarely have strikes. 1t is the
certainty that their pay viii not be
raised again without a strike and o
fight that makes workingmen so savage
when their wages are reduced.
