As to Rights.
New York Mail and Express.


Mr.. Gompers says that the public has
no right to insist that a man shall work
on terms that are unsatisfactory TO him
simply because IL needs his product He
may stop when he pleases, without regard
to the needs OF consumers
That may depend upon what he is doing;
but let us grant il. Neither the public
nor any part of II can insist that men
shall keep on working If they choose to
stop. on the other hand no part of the
public, producers or consumers-and they
are all one-has any right 10 insist that a
man shall not work when he has a chance
and desires TO DO so. There is, or should
be. the same liberty 10 work as 10 stop
working and the two liberties are uqually
entitled TO respect and protection.
If strikers, whom Mr.. Gompers is de-
Tending against the public were content
to stop work and leave others free 10 work.
most strikes would come TO a speedy end
Those which did not would probably be
justified Take of the boycott and ter
rorism in the anthracite region and the
mines would be working I'm a week 10 their
full capacity.
Give strikers and nonstrickers. union men
and nOnunion men, equal rights. "A fair
field and no favor, and the public would
have nothing 10 complain OF. It's rights
will take care of themselves when in
dividual rights are not interfered with.
