cause for resisting the discharge OF any

der again, and control of the corporation
would be transferred from It's owners TO

OF course this is not the law OF THIS

The law does not require an employer
of labor, whether having public duties to
perform or not. 10 submit 10 the de-

the employer liberty to submit to them
or 10 reject them, es 1t pleases. If 1t

inability was not its own act, but the

Brooklyn case is the fact that the strikers
have ORGANIZED themselves into mob, de-
flying the lawand the rights Of every one

all the new employees that the railroads
bring there to work In their places, and
they thereby. Of course, inteFpose the

law itself Is responsible for this being
the case. It is either weak itself, or
those who administer It are weak but IN
either event the law falls to provide that
condition Of security which II must pro-
vide before II can hold the railroad 10
any strict account for being without
complement Of men. When the law Sc
cures peace and order In BROOKLYN anu
makes il apparent that new men VIII DE
perfectIy safe in taking the places OF the
strikers. then It will be in order for the
law 10 hold the railroads UP to strict
performance Of its obligations. But when
the law allows the streets of Brooklyn to
be crowded with marauders, who are
threatening bodily injury to any who ac-
cept their former employments, 1t is no
time FOR the law to be talking about I'M
interrupted performance of public duties
