preme Court.
PHILADBLPHTA, April 15.-The SUI

holds that members OF the American
Federation of Labor have no right TO
entice apprentices working in a factory
to become members OF the Glass Work
ers' Union The case upon which the
opinion Is based is an appear of p. ].
Skelly and others, members of the
Glass Workers Union, from the judg-
ment of the Allegheny County Court re-
%straindng them from interfering with
the apprentices of Charles l.. F1accus.
a glass manufacturer of Tarentnn. Pa.
The Supreme Court dismisses the APP
peal at the cost OF the members OF the
union. The opinion says among other
things, that the manufacturer had the
right to employ workmen who were In
dependent of any labor union. and he
had the further right to adopt a system
of apprenticeship which excluded his
apprentices from membership in such
unions, and no n had a right to In
terfere with II to hts injury. The court
found that the interference was injur-
ious TO him, and, II allowed to continue,
would ruin his business.

l FRANK AND HONEST RAIL-
n

President NJ. q. ingalls,, of the Big
-Four, stands unique among wealthy
heads of corporations in that he ap-
proves of taxation of franchises and in
comes.
1--WE are just learning said Mr.. In
gals, addressing the Knife and Fork
Club of Kansas City, that a franchise
tax is the easiest collected of any, and
probably one of the fairest ways Of
raising evenu l have always be-
lieved in the income tax. This coun-
try is so rich that with a fair system
of taxation and economy in expenditure
the tax rate will be so low that it will
not be oppressive, and thus you will
encourage and protect your small prop
erty holders"
This fair utterance comes after the
passage of a franchise-taxation bill by
the General Assembly of Missouri. APP
proval Of this principle of taxation and
acknowledgment of its justice from so
high a source should encourage other
commonwealth and communities to
pass similar sane laws to tax fran
chises, which are the most valuable as
sets Of corporations.
1t is high time that wealth and boast
ed vested rights" were bearing their
legitimate share of the burdens of gov

THE MILK IN THE BEEF CocoANUI

THE MILK IN THE BEEF COCOANUT.
It is a suspicious coincidence that
the injunction suit at New Orleans to
compel enforcement of the neutrality
law by the United States government
and enjoin the shipment of horses and
mules from the port Of New Orleans to
the British army in South Africa. was
no sooner begun than we began to heal
talk in English official circles OF ex-
Guiding American refrigerated beef
from the supplies of the British army.
The director of contracts of the Brit
ish War Office hastens to explain that
the exclusion is merely because OF a
desire to help the home industries OF
England. But since these same nom
industries fell short of supplying the
home demand for beef last year by
some 1922, 200, 900 pounds, this explana-
ton will do to tell his majesty's ma
rines but not the United States.
The milk in the %cocoanut is that the
British attitude toward American beef
was the result of the institution OF the
New Orleans suit. eff you won't let
us have your horses and mules for use
against the South African republics,
neither will We take your beef" said
the British War Office to Uncle Sam.
1t was a very English method of bring
ing pressure to bear to prevent the en-
forcement of the neutrality law.
Now that the United States Court
has dismissed the Injunction suit and
the British are free to continue
shipping American mules to South
Africa, it will be found that all obsta-
cles and obstructive embargoes against
the American beef trust will disappear.
