he can no longer take advantage of the weak.
But strength is not limited to muscle. To protect
the weak mind from the strong mind is an equal
duty, and a far more difficult task"
The coal strike, as we have been trying to en-
phasize, is a new illustration of this great truth.
The law keeps within bounds the physical strength
of organized labor that would menace non-union
labor; it does not keep within bounds the
trusts strength of cunning by which it brushes
independent competition and robs the consumer.
As Mr.. Ford says, it has been the work of the
ages to work out the rights and bounds of physi-
cal force; we must now complete the work OF
keeping cunning within bounds. Our laws still
permit the strong man who completes with a
weaker to enjoy a larger share of this worlds
goods than the weakling-and it does we'll, for
any other course would be ruinous; but it does
not permit the giant to plumber the w%eakling.
Our laws must continue to permit the strong
mind that completes with the weaker mind to
get the recompense that it's strength deserves
and here, too, any other course would be ruin
Gus, but we must not be more lenient with &C
tual robbery by cunning than we are with robbery
by physical force. And right here we have the
problem of our age.

ORGANIZED LABOR AND ORGANIZED
CAPITAL: THE RIGHTS OF EACH-And

this coal trusts fight against the labor union
has set people to thinking, as they have never
thought before, about the rights of organized la
Dor and the rights of organized capital. Here,
for example, is a scene calculated to make angels
weep or dogs laugh-at any rate, it ought to
make men think: "In behalf of the coal opera
tors, David Wilcox, vice-president and counsel
for the Delaware & Hudson Railroad Company
and one of those present at the recent confer
ence called by President Roosevelt at Washing
ton, has sent to the president a letter demanding
that the Federal Government proceed against
the miners organization in the courts on the
ground that it is a conspiracy to prevent inter
state commerce."
That is to say, the Sherman antitrust law,
which has been long allowed to rest in what
Mr.. Cleveland would call "inocuous desuetude,n
being occasionally revived and exhibited for cam
paign purposes only, must now be put to active
use, must be used to crush the labor trust. Mr..
Wilcox and his friends are suffering from an
abnormal development of cheek, but not all then
efforts, we think, are likely to affect the opinion
of the American people with regard to this mat
ter-an opinion very neatly and f~orcibly set
forth by Governor Odell in his interview with
President Baer last Friday: 81 believe" said
the Governor, "that your position from a public
view, is absolutely untenable. If coal operators,
railroad men, and other business men can combine
for mutual profit and protection, there is no rea-
son why labOring men should not"

PENSIONS.-One of the most interesting
government documents recently made public is
the annual report of the Commissioner of Pen
sions, Eugene F. Ware. 1t shows that the total
enrolment July LIST of this year was 999,446,
against 997 1875 a year before. The total COM
prises TBS, 800 soldiers and 26O,637 widows and
dependents. The total amount paid for pensions
during the fiscal year was $137 504,268, and the
yearly cost of operating and maintaining the
bureau and the agencies, outside of the payment
of pensions proper, aggregates $3,59O,52aT The
pension system, says the report, since the begin
ming of the government, has cosV $2,992, 5O9,O19,
exclusive of the establishment of the soldiers
homes.
Putin a little different form, this means that
ahout one man in every twenty now living in this
country is getting a gift of $40 or more a month
from the government. The pension bill is an
enormous burden to the taxpayers, and if it
were not for fear of the pension vote, our Con-
gressmen at Washington would doubtless have
it very materially cut down.

KEEPING FORCE And CUNNING N

IN BOUNDS.-We are reminded just here of
one passage in the late Paul Leicester Ford's
book, "The Honorable Peter Stirling" which
attracted so much attention a few years ago.
Society and personal freedom" Mr. Ford makes
his hero say, care only possible in conjunction
when law or public opinion intervenes to the
degree of REFRESHING all individual acts that in
terfere with the freedom of others; thus securing
the greatest individual freedom to all. So far as
physical force is concerned, we have pretty well
realized this condition. Because a man is strong

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS

vi III liz
tration of voters is now in progress in North
Carolina, and strenuous efforts are being made
to have it complete, but interest in the campaign,
VIC think, is not intense enough to bring about
anything like a full registration. Very few ne
groes are making any effort to get their names on
the books.
While the Amendment was pending and even
since its adoption, it will be remembered, there
he's been considerable discussion as to how strict
should be the construction of the phrase, "read
and write any section of the Constitution" To
this controversy Senator Simmons last week add
ed an opinion of no inconsiderable weight. On
Wednesday, morning both the Raleigh dailies
printed a dispatch from Rutherfordton saying
that a negro preacher there had offered himself
for registration, had read a section of the Con-
~stitution beautifully" but had been refused
registration because in writing the section he
srelled divided "devided." Senator Simmons i'm
mediately wrote the Chairman of the Rutherford
County Board of Education, saying:
Neither the Legislature when it submitted the
Amendment, or the people when they ratified it,
intended that the educational clause of the
Amendment should be given any such strict inter
probation. 1 know it is hard to lay down any ex-
act rule for the Interpretation of this clause. If,

HE HAD REFUSED TO STOP
He Was Dragged
Out.

New York, May 30.-Edward Copeland
Wallace, millionaire iron merchant Of
this city, was dragged out of his automo-
bile by the son OF Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
Lovatt Of Spring Valley, Rockland county.
Just outside of Nyack the automobile SO
frightened spirited horse behind which
were Mr.. and Mrs, Lovatt, that it bolted,
throwing them both out. Mrs. Lovatt's
left arm was broken and she was so
bruised and shaken up that her condition
is serious.
Wallace paid no attention to the Lovatts
after they had been thrown from their
road wagon, but went whizzing on at great
speed. Lovatt telephoned ahead and Wal
lace was stopped several times. He said
the accident was trifling one and was
allowed TO pass on.
Then Lovaltt called up his sons house,
which is next to his own at Spring Valley.
He told his son John that his mother was
perhaps dying as the result of the acct
dent. John said the automobile would not
pass him. He, got farm hand and be-
tween them they built barricade OF
beams. boxes and barrels across the turn
pike
Leaving the farm hand to guard the
pass, John went down the road to await
the enemy. When the machine came
rushing along young Lovatt st God in the
mldle OF 1.-THE road and shouted for it to
stop. The machine kept right along and
Lovatt made flying leap over the dash
board and grabbed Mr.. Wallace by the
throat. AS the machine slowed up he
dragged his prisoner to the ground and
then, after the tussle had ended in favor of
the younger man, Mr.. Wallace was
marched to the house, where the farm
hand guarded him while Lovatt sent for
the authorities
Mr. Wallace said he regretted the acct

STRIKE; INCIDENTS
How Non-union Transfers Are An
noyed in Chicago.
THE HAMMOND co. SETTLES
Many People Yesterday Found Them
selves Unable to Buy
Meat
New York sun sneexay Service


Chicago, May 3O.-Crowding non-union
teamsters on to the curbstone, upsetting
their wagons. cutting the ropes which
held on their loads, and hurting bricks at
their heads, were some Of the features
IN the~strike of the packing house team
sters. On all sides union teamsters showed
their sympathy with the strikers, and
squads of police were kept busy extricat-
Ing meat wagons driven by non-union
transfers from positions where they were
stalled. 49,, 80. -"
Wagons belonging to Swift & Co., were
stalled on the incline o2the Lake street
bridge in the afternoon and a riot call
was, sent in to the central detail for po
lice to clear passage way. Efforts of
the policeman who stands guard at the
bridge to force a clearing were unavailing,
and it took a squad of police under Capt
Gibbons nearly an hour to- extricate the
Swift teams. In the interval the street
car lines which cross the Lake street
bridge were tied up. ..e ...-..-n.
On every side clerks acting as teamsters
met with difficulties from union transfers
in other lines of business. They were
crowded upon the curbstone, they were
"pocketed," and in one instance a wagon
was overturned by an adroit movement on
the part of a union teamster. The meat
wagon was going east on Lake street,
when one teamster drew his team in front
ard blocked way. Another teamster was
following, who drove up and accidental
ly'' caught the hub. They both moved
away together, and the contents OF the
meat wagon we're toppled into the street.
In other ways the strike Of the packing
house transfers assumed serious proper
tions and caused considerable consterna-
ton among the hotels and restaurants IN
the downtown district. Willis Howe, Man
1--WE can get along here few days with
what meat we have on hand, but If our Ice
is cut off it will place us in bad pre-.
dicament and if it extends to our coal
supply it will paralyze us.
Thousands of persons in Chicago were
unable to buy beef yesterday at any price:
Two hundred butchers on the northwest
side have decided to close their shops un-
til the teamsters shall be granted the
concessions asked, and many others Wi
be forced to close because of their inabil-
ity to get fresh meat.
The small packing firms which nave
signed the union scale, and whose team
sters are at work, are doing land office
business.
The G. H. Hammond company made a
settlement with the drivers in its local
agency late yesterday.
