The most important LABOR decision in
years was that Of Carroll ID. Wight who
recently, IS arbitrator III the case OF
WIN. Mowry against tie Reading Coal
company held hat an employer has he
right to discharge an employe without
assigning a reason therefor. The JUS
tice OF the decision cannot be question
ed when it is remembered that the
right OF IN employc TO quit york with
out giving a reason is generally IN
coded.
Employees can and do drop their tools
often and walk out without a word on
the order of a walking delegate. Often
they do not the mseives know why they
quit other han because they were told
70 quit. As a result the employer is OK
ten seriously embarrassed. Important
work Is suspended III grave ipcon-
venience Is experienced, to say nothing
OF the heavy financial losses OF both
sides.
There Is little occasion FOR alarm
among the laboring men as a result Of

bear in mind this fact; the honest, faith
full, competent workman is never dis.
charged except for some good and sui
ficient reason. Every employer is anI-
ious to keep the individual who renders
good service because he makes money
out OF the labor Of that individual and
sane men are not in the habit 81 cutting
of sources Of evenue jlst to be doing
something.
The evil Of the decision lies III its
blacklisting possibilities. 1t makes it
possible for men to be refused employ
ment by an organization OF employers
such as the anthracite coal trust and
lack OF employment in the anthracite
region mea ruin. This was brought
out in a recent investigation. Several
miners. employed by one stripping con-
tractor, left him and secured employ
