The Law as to Strikes.

HE New York court of ap-
peals has decided that work.
Il ingmen organized into la
Dor unions have the right to
strike to prevent the employment of
workingmen not so organized. The
opinion of the court says:
"They (workngmen) have the right
to strike, provided the object Is not to
crafty malice or innct injury upon
others, but to secure better terms of
employment for themselves. y peace
full and orderly strike is not in viola
ton of the law. A body of men. hav-
ing organized for purposes deemed BEN
eficial to themselves, have the right, if
they feel it is detrimental to interests
of their organization, to refuse to
work. Their reasons may seem mad
equate to others, but if it seems to be
in their interest as members of an or
sanzation to refuse longer to work. it
is their legal right. So long as work.
men must assume all the risk of injury
that may some to them through the
carelessness of coemployes, they have
the moral and legal right to say that
they will not work with certain men,
and the employer must take their die
tation or so without their services. A
labor organization is endowed with
precisely the same legal right as is an
individual to threaten to do that which
it may lawfully do
This is sound law. The converse of
it is also sound: namely. that if an
employer does not wish to employ ex-
clusively workngmen organized into a
union he can dismiss the union workers
and take the consequences. In that
event, his property is not to be injured
and men whom he hires are not to be
attacked or intmidated. Liberty with
in the law is the fundamental rule in
this country and it works both ways.
In the long run, dictation on either
side, enforced by threats or the might
of superior strength, is a poor basis OF
prosperity, since it leads to
almost endless i'll will. sullenness and
friction Much the better plan is for
both employers and employees to try to
be Just to each other: to cultivate
friendly instead of hostile relations.
and to desist from recklessly rocking
the boat that holds both. The Golden
Rule is the best rule, notwithstanding
it's apparent absence from many yey-
ing situations

matter of the CrumDackel

pear to have carried their point, which
was to scare the Republican managers
into pigeon-holing the whole matter.
The excuse given for postponing the
proposed investigation is that public
opinion has not vet ripened," but it
would be interesting to know by what
process of reasoning it is assumed that
public opinion needs to ripen before
congress shall be warranted in inuuir-
ing into an alleged state of facts in
direct conflict with the constitution of
the United States.
The fact which seems most closely to
fit the attitude of the majority is that
among the men now in the lead in the
house are some who lack either the
courage of their convictions or are de-
ficent in convictions. Their view IS
too closely at the immediate and too
little at the ultimate effect. The de-
nial of suffrage to the negro, as prac-

point of the Southern white: but there
is no possible defense OF using the
negro to get a large representation in
congress and then disfranchising him
by grossly unfair Determinations. Eth
er the negro must have the vote which
the highest law of the land declares
that he is entitled to, or the men who
restrict the suffrage must restrict their
representation in proportion. That is
the lawful and the equitable view:
therefore, it is also, in Il broad inter-
probation, such as statesmen should
take of public issues, the eXpedient
View.

who politically profit by it's continu-

If IL great and notorious wrong can

those who know it to be a wrong and
whose sense of fairness calls for its

an inquiry into the matter lest it should
offend the beneilciaries OF that wrong,
a condition of affairs is indicated which
we should hesitate to believe true OF

N THE excavations made in the
vicinity of the court house square
Il, large quantities of peat have
been removed. 1t may be inter-
esting to know that two uses for this
substance have recently been found.
One, by q process not divulged, con-
verts the peat into "a highly carbonized
fuel resembling coke but much more
lasting in combustion and also cheaper.
The claim is made in behalf of this dis
covery that it will provide Il superior
substitute for anthracite coal when
the supply of the latter becomes eX-
hausted. The attention of men of large
wealth has been turned toward the
process and the information which we
have is that they are favorably i'm
pressed with it.
