ment.

New York. July u.-While King Ed
wards restoration to health is assured.
the social season is in extremls, says a
London dispatch to The Tribune.
Ofical entertaining continues in con-
nection with the colonial Indian guests
and charity fetes are conducted on an
unexampled scale, but social functions
were paralyzed by the shock of the post
ponement of the coronation and cannot
be terminated. Not only are the few
balls and parties which had not been
deferred dull and spiritless, but there also
is an unsettled feeling of restlessness.
Neither engagements nor plans can be
made for the next three months, until
the date of the coronation is arranged
for the convenience of the smart sets.
Members of parliament are not harassed
by the uncertainties of a social season;
they will be equally prepared for the
coronation in August or October, for the
session will be suspended about grouse
time and resumed after an interval of
two months, for the sake of securing the
passage of the education bill.
That measure is making fair progress,
but cannot be enacted without autumn
session.

THE INCORPORATION OF LABOR
UNIONS

1t is somewhat remarkable that with an
almost universal demand and a multitude
of plans for the regulation of trusts there
regulation OF labor unions. 1t is admitted
on all hands that labor has as much right
to organize as capital, and that it must
do so if its interests and rights are to be
properly protected, yet it does not seem to
occur to anybody that organized labor may
become a means of oppression or menace
to the common veal, well as organized
capital. Without asserting that it is such
a menace or means of oppression no one
can deny that Ii may become so. Organ
ization implies power. and power originally
designed to be used for beneficial purposes
may sometimes be used for oppression or
illegal purposes. A hundred thousand
workingmen without organization or lead
ershp, or a hundred thousand citizens of
any class unorganized, could not work very
effectively to a common end, and each per-
son would be answerabe under the law for
his individual acts. The same number Of
persons organized and with leaders of
great power for evil as well as for good
The argument against trusts and corpora
tons Is based on the theory that capital,
when distributed in many hands and ope-
rating on independent lines. is harmless
and legitimate. but when combined and di-
rected by a single executive head to a sin
gle objective point II becomes dangerous.
No such theory is applied to labor. and
yet it is difficult to see why it should not
be- If combination and organization make
capital dangerous, why should they not
operate the same way with labor and If
combinations of capital should be regulat-
| ed by law. as in fact all corporations are,
why should not labor unions be equally?
! The foregoing view of the subject fur
nishes an argument in favor of the incor-
| poration of labor unions. and there is rea-
son TO believe that the trend of public
sentiment is in that direction. Incorpora-
| ton would be step towards bringing la
