THE LABOR SITUATION.

No6ay the Courier publishes a
most interesting expression of opin--
ion by Paul Morton, vice president Of
the Santa Fe railroad, with reference
to the labor situation in Chicago. Mr..
Morton talks, good, hard, common
sense, and what he says will meet
with general approval. Few men in
the United States are better qualified
to express an opinion upon this SUBJ
ject than Mr.. Morton. He knows what
the rights of capital are and he knows
what it is to deal with both union and
non-union labor, and what it means to
fight a big strike to finish. When
Mr.. Morton says: THE present NOM
ent is one in which there should be
great Cancellation and elaboration
praticed on both Sides" he expresses
an opinion of the greatest value and
one which should be needed by every
employer and employee in the United
States. Mr.. Morton is one of those
strong men who believes in recogniz
ing conditions as they exist and the
following paragraph from his published
opinion is one which should be care
fully pondered by every citizen:
Except in cases where contracts
havebeen entered into and then repud-
lated by labor leaders, | have no sym
pathy with the position of some men,
especially those in control of large COR
porations, who say they will not deal
with organized labor. They will do it
sooner or later, and there is no ques--
tion that the labor of the country is
better off on account of organization,
but there should be nothing compulsory
about it, and the members of union
should see to it that its affairs are in
telligently and honestly conducted Or.
ganized labor is entitled to a fair show,
and SO is unorganized labor, and SO is
capital, and contracts once entered in
to should be performed

list on labor unions and is so conser-
vative in it's tone that it cannot fail
to have beneficent effect upon the
existing situation. Mr.. Blair has nc
hesitation in saying:
Another mistake many of the newer
unions make is in demanding that none
but tlnion members be employed in
their line of work. This demand has
been made here by unions which coult
not furnish men to do the work await
ing hands Under such circumstance:
the demand is unfair.
Referring to the same subject, Mr.
Morton said, 81 believe in the right o
( labor to organize. 1t has the same righ
to do that that capital has, but it ha.
no more right to prevent non-uniol
men from working than aggregated
capital has to say to private partie

count that they must retire from
trade"
This general and frank discussion o
the labor situation which appears il
the Chicago Record Herald of Sunday
cannot fail to do much good and mater
tally assist in clearing UP the industrial
atmosphere.

Senator Deboe of Kentucky accuses
w. j. Bryan with being in measure
responsible for Governor Goebel's
assassination. The senator says: Il
do not hesitate to say that the lawless-
ness in Kentucky has generally grown
from the fact that Bryan went there
at various times advocating extreme
communistic measures and also en-
couraged Goebel democrats by his
presence during the contest"

One of the most cruel propositions
ever made by legislator was that Of
Representative Rodgers in the Mich

consideration for an appropriation for

He offered an amendment to the bill
providing for the electrocution of all
children regarded as hopeless cases.
What do you think of that for brutal
