there are go many idle men in the coun-

QUIT This is bad time to strike.

panes were wrong when they refused
to arbitrats with their men. l recog-
nizs the perfect right of capital to an
adequate return upon its Investments
and the railroad corporations have a
right TO a reasonable compensation for
their enterprise and outlay, but on the
other hand the employees have right
to reasonable compensation for their
work.

a right to make such an outlay that it
cannot meet its obligations except by
taking it out from their wage earners.
Judge Gaynor. as understand it. has
required the Brooklyn railroadu to run
their roads or show good and sufficient
reason why they cannot. l think it
wrong IL ths court should revoke their
charter if the road can show that they
have been detained by forceful and un-
lawful means. But do blame the cor-
porations for refusing to treat in the
