Labor Trouble. In Italy.

While the industrial war in Spain appears to be subsiding, curiously enough similar troubles are in prog ress in Italy. The danger is growing steadily without attracting attention outside of Italy, and the international indifference will probably continue un- til the storm bursts. The movement is undeniably in the hands of the social ists, and it is of a revolutionary char acter, Every industrial town is in ferment already, and fights have taken place at a score of places, where loss of life has been involved. The storm center is in Milan. At that place 15,- 900 men left work. They have mili- tary organization, divided into 15 bat talions, each 1000 strong, and subdi- vided into 150 companies. All this playing soldier is grossly illegal, yet the authorities hesitate to act, as they are afraid of precipitating crisis. Mean time an exodus of well to do people is in progress, and the whole city is in a state of painful excitement. The central government is quiescent in the face of this really serious danger London Dispatch.

Be1sium,s New Labor Law.

Belgium, which was one of the first European states to provide for govern ment intervention in the interest of la Dor, has now before it's chamber a new bill which makes long step in ad- vance. The bill is expected to become law without modification. As the law now stands a workman, in case of bodily injury, can only claim compen- sation if he can show that the injury was due to negligence on the part of his employer. According to the new measure, an employee who receives an injury which incapacitates him for more than fortnight shall be paid by the employer even should the accident be traced to the fault of the claimant. The amount of indemnity is fixed at half the sufferers average earnings in case of total disability, or, in case of partial incapacity, to half the differ ence in his wage producing power for which the accident is responsible.
 The bill in dealing with the liability of the employer gives the latter the op- tion of insuring himself either in the National Caisse d'Epargne or in a pri- vate company approved by the state, and the contracting society is bound to take over all responsibility on the score of accidents, in respect of which the employers liability henceforth ceases, or he may decline to insure, and in this case the workman's claim for indemni- ty becomes first charge on the estate after the payment of ordinary wages, and he is further obliged to capitalize certain sums for future compensation and pay the amount into a state bank or insurance company approved by the state

BLACK LIST UPHELD.
Decision of Chicago Judge Is a Blow
 to Union Labor.

Decision of Chicago Judge Is a Blow
 to Union Labor.
 In a noteworthy decision Judge Baker holds the stockyards packing firms had a right, according to law, to agree to refuse to employ certain persons. The decision is important in labor litiga- tion. This is the first time in a west ern court the so called "black list" by which man who leaves one firm and is kept out of employment in his trade by any other firms, has been given the legal sanction of the courts.
 The case was one of a series brought by girls employed as labelers and can painters by Libby, AcNeill S Libby un- til the strike of February, 1900. At that time they quit work on account of cuts in their wages. In June they att tempted to secure work in other pack ing factories. but were unable to do so. The plaintiff in the suit was Miss Annie Condon. The defendants, were Libby, McNeill & Libby, Armour & Co, Nelson Morris & Co. and the Fairbank Canning company. Miss Condon tes- tified she had applied for work to the Fairbank Canning company and Ar mour & Go, and at the latter place was informed she could not be em- ployed on account of her connection with the. labor troubles at Libby, Me Neill & Libby's factory.
 The defendants contended that the combination, even if it did exist, was lawful. They did not deny the girls had sustained damages, or that on ac- count of the alleged "black 1st''' they were unable to obtain work at their trade in Chicago. The girls showed that where they had been. earning $15 weekly at trade which it had taken them years to learn since the combina- tion to keep them out of work by the only firms which needed that kind of skilled. labor they had not been able to earn more than $4 weekly.
 Attorney William J. Strong, who rep resented the girls, contended that though one firm might have the right to refuse to employ certain persons, a com bination of all the firms engaged in that business to keep certain persons out of work was criminal. Judge Baker held that several corporations acting together had the same rights as a single corporation in protecting it's in- terests. He summarized his decision, saying:
 "One has the right to decline to en- ter the service of another, and several persons acting jointly, in pursuance of an agreement to that effect, have the right so to decline. So one has the right to decline to employ another, and several persons acting jointly in the pursuance of an agreement to that eff feet have the right so to decline."
 Attorney Strong announced he would carry the case to higher court--Chi- cago Tribune.

ALittIe Too Much.

In Daleville, Ind, a peculiar thing happened the other day. It was a strike, but the peculiar thing about it was the cause of it. The Barber Stove company wanted to build a storage room, and the holders were asked to contribute toward the building fund. Some of the men, through fear of los ing their jobs, consented, but more of them refused, and then the trouble arose. There was no work one day, and it looked as though a long shut down would ensue, but tile trouble was finally adjusted.

labor Win. This Time.

Although the appellate division in a decision handed down practically up- held the eight hour law. the consfitu- tionality of the law was not discussed nor gone into thoroughly, and Corpora ton Counsel Whalen awaits with much interest the opinion of the court of ap- peals on this subject. The decision of the appellate division was on an appeal made by Eugene Lentilhon, the con- tractor for the removal of the Forty second street reservoir. The comptroller held up his bills on the ground that he had not complied with the labor law, and the contractor asked for a man. damus to compel payment.
 The application for mandamus was refused by the lower court, and the ap- pellate division says the application was denied properly. On the point of the eight hour law the opinion says:
 .It is difficult to see why the city of New York, which has the absolute con- trol of it's own property, had not the legal right to contract with the relator as to the number of hours which should constitute a days labor or the maximum number of hours which Iaborer should be employed in one day and why it has not the legal right to in- sist upon the relator's performing the contract in this respect or in default' thereof subject himself to the penalty therein provided, according to the let ter and spirit of the contract. t.'-New York Press.

ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE

One of our ultra conservative papers was kind enough this week to speak as follows of the veteran au- thor and actor, James A. Herne: "The thousands of people to whom he.has given evenings of innocent pleasure and laughter will keep a kindly thought of James A. Herne. He was, in his way and degree, a public benefactor."
 Much more than this is due the memory of this good man. James A. Herne cared not so much to make men laugh as he did to make them think. This was his mission. His plays were written for purpose. And that purpose was the service of humanity And so much was the bent of his inclination in this direc- ton that the covert style of the

drama was insufficient to satisfy his ardent nature and he would often break out in plain terms on the econ omic questions of the day. Even did he hold public meetings for the purpose. And to bring the matter home especially to the actor fraternl- ty, he invariably strove to lnculcate the point among them that ot all people 1t was to their self interest to aid the cause of the poor man. for prosperity for him must essentially mean better times for 1he actor; pow erty and depression the lot of the working people could only mean poor business and stranded compan- ies for the playwright.
 MT. Herne was an ardent advocate of the Single Tax doctrine and an intimate friend of Henry George himself. But when the savant made the great mistake of following Cleve- land into the Democratic party of that day to seek the fruition of Single Tax philosophy through "tarif re- form," the actor didn't follow the prophet but gave his voice and vote to the Peoples party, where that voice and vote then properly be-

WHAT binding power the decis- ion of the United States Supreme court is calculated to have upon the conscience of its people where its members disagree in halves, just as near as those halves can exist. Here we have five deciding that a certain thing is right and four con- tending that it is wrong. Then a re- versal of one member on himself in two separate cases of exactly tLe same nature, contending that a cer- tain thing done at one date of the year was wrong but done at a later date was right, although the resul, at one time and the other was pre- cisely the same. What a precise, absolute, unchangable thing the law must be surely; and what study, learning and great mental power is essential to profound knowledge of the same.

"This notice have given you, before you have taken vote, is as binding on you as though the sheriff had served the writ, the mayor interposed. "It has the effect of nulhfying any action you may take.'
 No answer was made and the aud itors proceeded. They finished before Deputy Sheriff Jack Nancy arrived. He served the writ on Auditor Craig as chairman of the board. Craig said he would consult with County Solicitor Kaiser before certifying the appraise- ment to the state board. The auditors then raised the appraisement of the road from $2, ,2O3, 149, the company re- turn, to $2, 367, ,OOO. This was equal to an increase of 11.6 per cent over the re- turn of last year, or from 1E.5 per cent of the true value of the road to IF per cent.
 The mayor claimed that the real mar ket value of the road was $13.OO0,0 ,000 as shown by it's bonds and stocks. The physical property of the road, he said, applying to the rule observed by the railroad company in making its return, was several times more valuable than given by the road. Much of it's prop erty was omitted, he said.r
 road should be assessed at $71, ,058 a mile instead of $11 ,028 a mile, which was the figure it returned. The aud itor of the road and it's general counsel, J. M. Lessick, refused to make any at tempt to refute the mayors statements.

OH FOR FOUR YEARS OF TOM
 JOHNSON.

The railroad tax dodgers of Ohio must surely be contemplating rather seriously just now that they have run&up against a case of "Too Much Johnson" How the old dry bones of the corporation tools are made to rattle by this one determined man inspired to speak on behalf of the rights of the people. We realize that we can furnish nothing from the humble pen of the editor of this paper this week that can in any degree ap- proach in interest and importance a citation of some of the exercises wit messed in Cleveland of late, since the great Single Tax and anti-monopoly mayor became the chief magistrate. We quote from The Public, edited by that old-time and sterling re former, Louis F. Post :-
 The fight between Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland, and the Ohio railroads, which is stirring public sentiment throughout the state and attracting marked attention all over the county, becomes hercer every day, and of greater general interest. The fight turns, as we have already explained, upon the refusal of the county audi tors tt to -szfssssss cad property at as large a proportion of market value as residence and farm property Is as- sessed at. The usual assessment of the latter Is 60 per cent. of actual value, whereas railroad property Is kept down tosthe neighborhood of 10 or Is per cent. Mayor Johnson has proved by the market value of rail- road stock and bonds that the rail- road property they represent Is worth many times the amount for which 1t Is assessed, but the county auditors have stolidly ignored this proof He has demanded that they bring in the railroad officials to disclose the real value of their respective roads, but the auditors stolidly ignore the de- mands. Finally he has instituted mandamus proceedings to compel them to examine the railroad officials. We told briefly of the first of these legal proceedings last week, but our information on that point was lim- ited to what had come over the wires in press dispatches. which was some what defective. Quoting now from the full reports of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, we are able to explain the matter more correctly.

The weekly examiner., 1901-06-08

The case of the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling railroad was before the board of county auditors for as- sessment. The mayor tried to exam inc the auditor of the road with reference 70 the accuracy of his tax return. The railroad auditor would not answer, and the board refused to grant the mayors demand that they compel him to. The railroad audi tor finally explained that he could not testify as to his return, because he had to rely upon figures given him by others. The mayor then de- manded the names of those others. and that they be required to appear and testify. The board of county auditors ignored the demand. At this point the director of law of the city applied to one of the judges for mandamus to compel the board of auditors to investigate the truth of the railroads return. While he was gone, Prof. Bemis and the mayor argued the matter with the board until the latter, apparently suspect ing that these speeches were made to secure delay for some purpose, abruptly refused to listen any longer. and were about to fix the assessment. when a mess enger informed the mayor that mandamus had been granted. We quote now from the Plain Dealer:
 The mayor jumped to his feet.
 "Gentlemen, he cried, "a writ of mandamus has just been granted or derlng you to call in the auditors of the road and examine them as to the true value of this property
 For a moment the auditors sat as though stunned, and then Auditor Laws, of Harrison county, growled: Let's go ahead with the assessment"
