10 advantage her "lOvey white skin, almost

THE UNEXPECTED MAY HAPPEN.

President Cleveland has two DAYS and
some hours in which to sign the Wilson
German tariff bill or to return it to the
House without his signature. If he does
neither it will become law al a certain
hour on Monday. There have been no
speculatious on the basis of veto. Sena-
tor Hill said after the Wilson letter was
published that the President would veto
the Senate bill il the House should pass
it, but Mr.. Cleveland is not bound to fulfill
Senator HIPS predictions. The veto of
the President would electrify the nation.
1t would be an assertion of principle that
is not much looked for IN these days of
politics. The veto message would remind
Congress that the Chicago platform called
for tariff for revenue only policy.
1t would inform Congress that it had not
presented such tariff bill to the Presi-
dent for his signature. 1t would further
inform Congress that the bill il had pre-
sented poured SIS, 0O0 900 into the Golfers
Of one trust and half as much into the
Golfers of another trust. 1t would also
suggest to Congress that as another cleo
tien was about to take place it would be
well to submit the whole question to the
people. If they should vote a second time
for tariff for revenue only. Congress would
be under double obligation to frame such
tariff. II, on the other hand, they should
vote to retain the protective policy. the
veto of the mongrel bill would enable the
party Of protection to carry out that pol
Icy. THE CALL does not expect message
from Mr.. Cleveland on these lines. Only
brave man, broad man and a conscien-
tious man would risk the consequences of
such rebuke to his party. If the people
do not want free trade veto would leave
the President without party; if they do
want free trade, or think they want 1t, 1t
would give them a chance to get it.

COOLEY ON STRIKES.

In his annual address as president of
the American Bar Association, Judge
Cooley shed q great deal of legal light
upon some of the complications arising
out of the recent strike. Speaking of arbi-
tration be declares that sympathetic
strikes can never be settled by arbitra-
ton, because the parties to such a strike
are not the parties to the controversy that
needs to be settled, and if the sympa-
thizers are held justified the original quar-
rel still remains undetermined.
Then Judge Cooley enters upon ques-
tion of fact in which layman may have
as sound an opinion as lawyer. Saying
nothing about the wisdom or practicability
of arbitration as general policy in the
settlement of disputes between employers
and employees, the fact remains that arbi-
tration is directly applicable TO the sympa-
thetic as well as TO any other strike. In
such case the arbitration would not be
between the sympathetic strikers and
their employers, but between the parties
To The original labor trouble which excited
the sympathetic strike. The arbitration

settlement of the sympathetic strike,

HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE

The Chicago Herald a journal which
cannot be suspected of a. leaning toward
the under party in labor fight, reported
the following from the proceedings before
! the Labor mmissioners' Investigation:
Miss Jennie Curtis, formerly a seamstress In
the repair-shops at Pullman, stated her ex-
perience as a member OF the committee that
visited Vice. President Wickes. In 1898 she
was able TO earn 81 % per day. Wages had
been cut, however, until on the day OF the
strike all she could earn was 70 cents day.
Miss Curtis stalled that her father died owing
the Pullman Company about $50 rent. "IDe
company compelled me to apply portion OF
my wages each week upon this rent" she salu'
"unti have paid all but SIS. l fear the COM
! pany Will never give me a chance TO pay this
amount"
The Herald gives full credit to The state
ment. 1t cbaracteriZes this course OF the
Pullman Car Company as 'scoundrelism
of the worst type." Says that journal:
! When the Pullman Company exacted money
| from Miss Curtis TO paw debt owing by her
dead father it did so In express violation OF
every law. moral or statutory. She was Inc
victim of an extOrtiOn compared TO when the
methods OF the highwayman and the burglar
! become almost respectable and legitimate.
The unfortunate young woman whose
father had the misfortune in life to be en-
ploved by the Pullman Company. under
compulsion paid the company portion OF
her 70 cents day, the alternative being.
so she apprehended, a dismissal from
service. IT, must have taken her a long
time to pay S45 out of a 73-cent day wage.
but the company did not undertake to
deny that she had paid the sum mentioned.
As the Herald says: at is by such meth
DDS that the Pullman Car Company has
been able to declare its dividends and
accumulate its eyer-increasing surplus"
After having so correctly stated the case
against the Pullman Car Company the
Herald assumes that Mr.. Pullman had
been Kept in ignorance of what was going
on in his model town. 1t does not quite
exonerate him from blame. but attributes
to him only such culpability as is incident
10 the vast interests under his general con-
troll Further on the Herald cha ges its
tone more decidedly toward Mr.. Pullman,
the multi-milliOnaire, and excuses him in
the following terms:
1t surely must interfere with his enjoyment
OF the millions at his command to know that
any portion of his vast wealth was, by the ras-
cally practices Of his agents, wrung dollar by
dollar from the unwilling hands of his misera-
bic tenants.
This is too much. There is abundant
evidence to show that Mr.. Pullman knew
the kind and degree of oppression that
was practiced at his model town" II he
did not know about the Individual Miss
Curtis he knows all about the system
which compelled Miss Curtis to pay her
fathers debts out of a wage-rate of 70
cents a day. The fact that a Pullman
emplOye had not invoked the law against
the company in fourteen years is &C
counted for by the other fact that system
of collecting debts more efficaciOus than
law had been discovered and practiced.

A COOLiE TRANSACTION.

A suit was decided in Judge Richards
court a few days ago which furnishes the
reason for the tremendous efforts made to
keep open the doors TO Chinese. 1t ap-
pears that q contracting firm made ar
raDgements with the noted Koopmanschap
for lot of Chinese to work on the South
ern Pacific Railroad. There was at one
time 5000 Chinese, more or less, in the en-
ploy of this firm at the wage rate of $50
per month. The firm made most of its
money by charging the Chinese high
prices for things they bought, with an
occasional perquisite In the way of charges
for things the Chinese did not buy. The
suit before Judge Hebbard showed that
the firm made about $3.50. 900 in year, and
also that the business was so demoraliz-
ing that the male partners thought proper
not to divide with the widow of their
former associate. The contract not being
of kind that would look well in print was
never reduced to writing. and consequently
did not constitute an agreement in which
vested rights could be acquired or en- forced.
The decision of the court is without dou BIT
technically correct. Contracts in VIOLA
ton of law and contrary to the public
good are properly unenforcsable.
1t Is on this principle that gam bling
debts become debts of honor Since one
cannot be collected it remains with the
person who owes it to pay or not. In the
case under consideration the firm conclud-
ed not to pay. 1t appears to have dealt
fairly with the widow so far as a division
of property in sight was concerned, but it
would not let her in with the profits of a
contract Of too delicate nature to be COM
mitted to writing. But the fact that firm
of man-dealers could realize $780, 900 or
whereabouts in year through the importa-
ton of Chinese laborers discloses some of
the influences which have kept the door
open to Chinese in spite of all our efforts
