Johr Mitchell Is Wise.

Inter Ocean:
John Mitchell OF the miners union,
according to an indianapolis dis
patch, Is striving to prevent the
American Federation of Labor froLl'
meddling in the Miller case.
Probably Mr.,Mitchell understands
that in the nature Of THESE things
there can be no "closed shop in Fed
eral employment. AT all events, he
is credited with doing his best to
prevent the raising OF an issue which
can result in nothing but disaster to
organized labor.
The attempt of certain Washington
trades unions to force the President
to modify his "no-discriminatlon" or
der was the height of impudence. 1t
was on par with the threats of GER
tain Wall street promoters against
the President because he directed an
inquiry into the legality of the
Northern Securities company.
In both cases private interests
sought to dictate to the national
government end presumed to threat
Ell the President of the whole Amer
lean people for enforcing their laws.
In one case combination of capital,
and in the other a combination of
labor, presumed to set up private
agreements as superior to the law of
the land.
That John Mitchell would refuse
to be party to any such movement
that he would appreciate the utter
folly OF trying to substitute trades
union rules for the constitution of
the United States and would forese g
the disaster which must befall or
ganized labor from such conflict
was to be expected from his known
public record. 1t is gratifying to
learn that this expectation is not
likely to be disappointed.
John Mitchell would appear to
have learned thoroughly the lesson
which so many leaders Of both capt.
tai and labor need to learn--that on
ly within the law and in equality be-
fore the law is there safety for either
rich man or poor man, for capital or
labor. He is not fighing the Presi-
dent for simply doing his duty and
of the United States at the behest of
either capital or labor. And in alb
staining from such a contest-in pre-
venting it If he can-John Mitchell
is wise.
