SAFEGUARDING AMERICAN LABOR.

American labor has never had a more
earnest friend han President Roose-
welt. He has always urged the duty Of
safeguarding that labor and making it's
betterment a cardinal principle In the
economic policy Of the country. In his
first message to congress he said that
with the sole exception of the farming
interest, no one matter is OF such vital
moment to our whole people as the
welfare of the wageworkers. "If the
farmer and the w~ageworker are well
Off, it is absolutely certain that all
others viii be well OF, too" He de
clared that our labor must be protected
and that every effort Of legislator and
administrators should be bent to secure
the permanency of the favorable con-
ditions for labor that exist in this
country-conditions that are better than
ever before in our history and far sur
passing those enjoyed by the wage
workers of any other country.
American workmen should regard
with great interest what was said by
Mr.. Roosevelt in his speech at Mime
apolis on Saturday. Referring to re.
publican tariff policy, he said it is fund
amentally based upon ample recog
milton Of the difference between the cos

The chief of the bureau of foreign
commerce finds In his latest review of
the worlds trade substantial encour-
agement regarding the permanence of
the export movement of this country in
manufactured goods and Of the sue
cess of the American competitor in the
markets Of the world. He says that
not only has the foreign customer been
tempted into buying from us, but he
has been so impressed by the superior
ity of things American as to bid against
the domestic purchaser, thus demon
strating the fact that the export trade
Is to become a stable factor in the
country's Industrial and agricultural
prosperity.
While there has been a subsistence of
export activity in certain lines of goods
in which the home demand has in.
creased, it appears that there has been
no general neglect Of foreign mar
ket for home market. 1t is expected
that the large Increase Of productive
energy will result in over-production
which is altogether probable, but the
opinion is expressed that an antidote
will be found in the progress of the
American invasion Of foreign markets
which is being manifested even in sucl
countries as Turkey, East Africa ant
Korea. Chief Emory says that to thi:
fact rather than to any diversion from
the home market is due the recovery il
the export Of factory products. The
reassuring view Of the export move
ment expressed by the head Of the blu
reau of foreign commerce seems very
likely to prove correct since the exports
thus far in the current fiscal year show
a quite marked increase and there ap
pears to be good reason to expect tina
this will be at least maintained. 1t Il

Incidentally 1t is worthy Of note that the
CWabash) temporary injunction seems to
have resulted in positive benefits to both
sides, instead Of even a passing injury to
either. Having failed to establish it's case
Of conspiracy against the officers Of the
brotherhood, the company is now willing
to negotiate further with Its employees.
While waiting for a decision from the court,
the edge has worn off the fine frenzy OF
the men, and they are willing to discuss
the matter further with representatives OF
the company. II this restraining order
finally results in a peaceful settlement OF
the difficulties, a plausible showing might
be made that we need a little more of the

Justice for All.

ANNSDhA . AoRLNSA
This decision goes further than merely
UNFOLDING the right to peacefully withdraw
from employment. 1t sanctions the action
Of union officials when acting in accordance
with the wishes of their members. Much
has been heard Of the supposed hostility
Of the courts to labor, but this decision
ought to be convincing that there is justice
for all. AS the preliminary injunction was
one Of the most sweeping ever issued upon
the petition Of capital, its reversal is also
the most -far-reaching ruling upon behalf
Of labor. In a way it may be taken as the
last word in labor injunctions, defining the
limitations Of that process. For that rea-
son it should act as a deterrent against fu-
ture attempts to settle disputes upon that
line and should the more foroibly impress
upon both capital and labor the wisdom OF
the courts advice to adjust differences
upon the more logical and more profitable
plan.

An Error Corrected.

BALTIMORE AtneTlCdns |
Had the rule OF the court been made
permanent a precedent would have been
established under which a condition Of in
dustrial slavery would have been created.
Labor would by the courts be denied the
right to relieve itself when oppressed, and
the corporations would have had open to
them at all times the power to prevent
labor disputes, strikes and the like by
merely getting a duplication of the Wabash
injunction. They could By such a rule have
kept their men at work as long as they
pleased. at whatever wage they elected to
pay and under such conditions of employ
ment as they might prescribe. The rule
would thus have made the employer abso-
lutte master Of the employe. Any such
rule would have given the radical element
Of our citizenship just ground for COM
plant, and the court is to be congratulated
for seeing its error and setting itself right

No Surrender of Judicial Power.

The decision does not recede one inch
from the most advanced position Of the
courts in the matter Of injunctions to re-
strain strikes. On the contrary, the opin-
ion of the court may be quoted by other
Judges in defense Of the most extreme ex-
ercise Of the power of injunction to re-
strain strikes or to restrain anything else
without giving the persons restrained any
notice of opportunity to be heard and upon
ex parte afidavits which would hardly war;
rant an arrest for petty larceny. The labor
men ave gained nothing but a decision
that in this particular case the ex partc
a~fidavits were not sustained upon the
hearing. There is no surrender of any
part of the judicial power claimed and ex-
ercised when the temporary injunction was
issued.

TERRoRzlNs H LIQUOR DEALERS

TERRORLZING II LIQUOR
In the face Of the law that makes the
threat to do injury to the business OF
another a penal offeuse the acting chair
man of the police commission continues
to swing the police club over the heads
of Omaha liquor dealers and to threaten
them with police persecution IL they
dare to exercise their rights as Ameri-
can citizens at the republican primaries
and coming election. While the records
of the police commission do not show
that any action has been taken by the
board officially to authorize such fla
grant lawlessness in it's name, yet the
fact that the associates Of w. j.
Broatch on the police commission have
not raised their voices against the law
less course that is being pursued in their
name justifies the conclusion that they
are in full accord with MI. Broatch and
should be held equally responsible for
his lawless acts.
Before entering upon their official du-
ties zach member of the police board
took the oath that he would in the ap-
pointment, discipline and discharge Of
police officers act without prejudice and
bias and solely in the interest Of good
government. The fact that the board
reinstated as officers some Of the most
VIGOROUSLY disreputable men who had
been dismissed by former police boards
very naturally created distrust in the
sincerity Of its professions in favor of
reform. While everybody knows that
the present police commission was
foisted upon Omaha at the dictation of
the railroad managers to assist the cor
porations in dominating Omaha politics
of all parties, the citizens of Omaha had
a right to expect that some regard
would be paid by the commission to the
plain letter of the law. If 1t is a crime
for any private citizen to levy political
it for an officer sworn to maintain law
and order?
Nobody who knows William J. Broatch
will be amazed at any outlaw work that
he may do when he is in public office,
but yet it is simply astounding that he
would threaten to punish liquor dealers
with an enforcement Of the law If they
did not use their influence to promote
his political schemes and support in the
primaries and at the general election
the political faction with which he is
identified. Such threats are a public
confession that outlawry will be toler.
ated by the present police commission
providing the law-breakers are willing
to become political serfs.
Is 1t not high time for Governor
Mickey, who is indirectly responsible fol
the acts of the commission whether ap-
pointed by him or not, to issue peremp-
tory instructions that he will not toler.
ate such conduct? Is 1t not also about
time for the county attorney to institute
proceedings against William ]. Broatch
and his associates for the violation OF
the Notwithstanding statute? While II
is not to be expected that the terrorized
saloon keepers and brewers will enter

that are being made by Broatch to CO
