IMPORTANT TO wORKMEN AND EN-
pLOYFS.

Last spring The Times called pointed
attention TO the fact that a case was de-
pending before the House OF Lords in
England that involved i'm 4 very broad
way the rights OF trades unions in in
terferng with employees OF labor on be-
half OF their members who thought Them
selves aggrieved by some course Of con-
due upon the part OF the employer The
case has never been decided and is re-
ported very fully in the London Times
for December Is. 1897. We can do no more
than give an outline of it. but IT viii he
found to be a decision o: the very great
est interest and importance. The essen
tal facts of the case were these:
Two workmen named Flood and Tay-
Tor were engaged by the day at the works
Of the Glengale Company. They were
shipwrights. doing good work upon the
ship Sam Weller. The company employ
ed far larger number Of men doing iron
work than OF shipwrights: and there was a
strong feeling against Flood and Taylor
on the ground that they had previously.
being shipwrights. done iron work for an
other firm. One OF the iron men on April
H. 1894. telegraphed to Allen who was a
delegate or official of the Boiler Makers
Union. and he came 10 the dock and saw
ne man who had sent the telegram.
This plan Elliott by name. told Allen
that the men were talking of throwing
down their tools and quitting at dinner
time Allen warned Elliott TO be careful.
and said the men must not leave without
the sanction of the union. Shortly after
wards Allen saw Mr. Halkett. the manag-
ing director of the works. TO whom he
showed the telegram. observing that the
men felt aggieved at having to work
with Flood and Taylor. ard that il these
men continued on the Job the iron men
would leave off work or be called out.
Halkett therefore dismissed Flood and
Taylor and they sued Allen for causing
them the loss of their employment AT
the trial the jury found a verdict for
damages against Allen. and the judge
who presided at the trial Apr 9ved of the
findings. The case was taken to the
Court OF Appeals. and hearu there before
three judges. all OF whom agreed with the
trial Judge. making four judges who
thought the defendant liable. II was
taken from the Court OF Appeals 10 the
House Of Lords and heard there before
seven Law Lords-all most eminent Judges.
When II had been argued there was much
differences Of opinion amongst the Judges
and they therefors called IN the judges Of

HOME AND FOREIGN CAPITAL IN
THE SOUTH.

several wears sgo when Charles Dud-
ley Warner was on visit to hourish-
ing manufacturing town In virginia Tie
sxpressed himself as being amazed al 'ne
wonderful industrial development that ne
saw. and particularly so that the iac-
tories had been built up by Southern
,hrift and Southern capital He could
M, understand how a people who lad
been so recently impoverished by dis-
astrous war could so soon accumulate
the money with which to build such fac
tories as he saw.
lie was referring more especially to the
cation mills. for he. like others. had been
under the impression that the money
cmployed in establishing them had ccme
from the North. and 1t was hard TO unde-
celve him.
philadelphia newspaper recently re-
marked that the cotton mills Of South
Carolina had sl5OO0o0o invested In cotton
mills. most Of which is Northern capt.
tel" hut Mr. Walter w. Watt. of Char-
Io.ie n. c.. shows by the figures that
,bis is not true either OF South Carolina
or other Southern States. He has made
he tells MS. careful investigation with
the following result;
North Carolna-Home capital, 90 per
cent; Northern capital. 10 per cent.
South Carolina-Home capital, 80 per
cent: Northern capital 20 per cent.
Georgia-Home capital, 50 per cent;
Northern capital. Is per cent.
Alahama-Home capital. 70 per cent;
Northern capital. % per cent
He mentions only the States chiefly
representing the cotton manufacture. but
saws that the percentage in the other
states would he even more favorable TO
home capital. According to Mr.. Watt the
South now has 100000 spindles,
representing sSO,0OO0D OF capital,
only twelve per cent. OF which Is
represented by Northern capitalists. lie
makes the further interesting statement
that Northern money invested in South
ern cotton mills in partnership as IT were
xith home money. such mills being man.
aged by home talent. has brSaght better
returns in almost every case to the in
weston .han money entrusted by confiding
Northerners TO the control and direction
Of occasional Industrial missionaries or
commot cial carpet. baggers sojourning in
the South"
In conclusion, however. Mr.. Watt i'm
presses the fact that Northern capital is
very welcome in the South and he thinks
that any Northern man who will take the
trouble to investigate will find convinc-
Ing evidence that no better field for legit-
mate. profitable investment is open any
where than that offered by the manufac-
turc OF cotton in the South. and we do
not hesitate to say that we concur entire
IS In that opinion.

the lower courts TO hear another argument
OF the case with them and give them the
benefit Of their advice. At this second
hearing ten additional judges were added
TO the court.
When the case came 10 be decided II
was found that there was great diver
gence OF opinion amongst the judges. The
judges who were called in had no vote
in rendering the decision. They could only
express their opinions I'm the way OF adj
vice. The case was actually decided by
what arc called the Law Lords-that is
the judges who have seats in the House
of Lords. OF these. six were for revers-
ing the decisions Of the lower courts and
three were for maintaining them. and
amongst the judges who were called in
there was a great variety OF opinion
The net result was that thirteen judges
who heard the case thought that Flood
Allen, while eight judges thought they had
none But majority OF theseseight were
Law Lords and they decided the case. so
that the case now makes IL law that men
in the situation OF Flood and Taylor have
no right 10 sue q man in the situation OF
Allen.
We have thought OF the case good
deal and are inclined 10 the opinion that
the minority Of the judges-those who
made the law OF the case. are right
The case amounts 10 no more than this:
Some of the workmen were willing 10
work with others. They had a perfect
right 10 make this choice IL they chose to-
Having come to this conclusion they had
a perfect right TO notify their employer
that they would not remain in his employ
ment II no retained the Objectionable
ones. Having the right to notify him
themselves. they had an equal right to
send their agent Allen. with their mes
sage 10 him Allen did therefore. no more
than what the workmen themselves might
have done. and as they would not have
been liable. neither was he liable
There IS a good deal in the very elabo-
rate opinions OF some Of tho judges 10
which we arc not able TO give our assent.
But as for the particular point decided.
we thing the minority was right and that
the majority would have imposed an in
tolerable restriction upon the liberty OF
the citizen.

Our esteemed contemporary the Rich
mond Times, protests that when IL re-

Simply that protection does not protect
