SORT OF SECOND MISSOURI COM
:. PROMISE: Hs4!AANDRD DOWN
ny STATE COURT.
Master Plumbers Association il De-
clared Valid-Rtghts- of Capital
Fully Exp1a1ned-The Logic Of the
Court is Not Quite Clear ON the
tights OF Labor-state Antitrust
Law is a Gold Brick.

The court of Appeals of Missouri
has handed down . decision that
las antitrust law Of that state.
= "7"s man brought an action
against 1l,e Master Plumbers Asso-
cation to compel that body to sell him
supplies. A. lower court decided in his
favor and a shout Of joy went up from
those opposed to trusts. But those
who laugh last laugh best. The de-
cision has been reversed by the upper
court, which holds:
'"Capitalists have right to do. as
they please with their money, so long
as they do not become public charges.
"A man without capital may labor,
or refuse to labor, so long as he keeps
out Of the poorhouse.
Capitalists have the right to COM
bine capital in productive enterprises
and by lawful competition drive indi-
vfdual producers and smaller ones out
of business.
"Laborers and artisans have the
right to- form unions and fight this
competition Of capitalists by lawful
means
The logic Of the court is not quite
clear regarding the rights Of labor, al
though it is quite clear. in defining the
so-called rights of the other side.
In fact, the decision sounds decided
ly hostile to labor. "A man without
capital may labor or refuse to. labor
implies that .the scab may labor" for
wages below the living rate il he
chooses and the unions will suffer as
a. consequence.
While it is admitted that the 'labor-
ers and artisans have a right to form
unions and fight this competition OF
capitalists" Tin employing scabs),
what does the Interpretation "by law
full means" mean?
There's the rub!
The court intimates that scabs will
be protected. That legalizes the in
junction so far as the court is con-
/ cerned.
l. The court can also hold, for in
! stance, that the boycott is injurious tc
so-called property rights and fine OF

cision.

questions we cannot talk of over:pop-

Some people, admitting that there. is
no over-population, talk Of ''conges~

Now, although congestion of the pop
ulat1on at certain centers might be
given as O. reason for lack; of: work in
those .places, it does not follow that
! there must also be lack OF food. cloth
ing, fuel and shelter. r.
We have seen that the wealth of the
country has increased enormously dur
ing the last half hundred years. How
then could the fact that there were too

Of poverty and starvation?
| 1t would only prove that there We're
too many people there. There is: a
congestion Of people at Monte Carlo
in the gambling season. But there is
| no poverty, Why? Because it is a
congestion of rich people.
| Next there is "over-production. Peo-
pie are starving because there Is too
much wealth!

| But, it may be said, I'VE admit there
is plenty of wealth In the country, but
1t is of the wrong kind. We have made
too many ships too many theatres, too
many watches and clocks, too many
| books and ornaments, but we hav'n
! grown enough food or got enough coal
or made enough clothing"
It such were the fact what would ii
] prove? -:
| Now that people are starving because
of ''over-pro4uction'' Of wealth but
from the want Of organization of. the
production Of wealth. s..
| That would be a very strong argu.
ment In favor Of Socialism, or the or.
ganization of production. Under So.
cialfsm our first care would be to pro.
duce the necessaries Of life, to feed
house cloth and warm the people pro-
perly. We should think about making
guns and ornaments and theatres and
skating Kinks afterwards.
| But is it altogether true that. we have
grown enough food, not got enough
coal, not made enough clothing?
| Does anyone doubt that if the million
Of unemployed were to find a sum OF
money equal to their usual wages In
their stockings every Saturday. morning

'The miners are inevitably tending

that seems to promise relief. But the
relief they need lean be found only in

As Others Saw 1t.

The New York Tribune Of yesterday
gave the following description OF the ceie-
bration of Washington's birthday IN this
city on Monday s.o,,
i.Apcient Alexandria, awakening rom
its century long slumber, on Monday
ceI.brated Washington's birthday. The
ouiet streets, through whose maze OF royal
names Washington was accustomed 10
pick his way, we're filled by throngs,
whose uniforms represented every stage
of the nations history from colonial and
aboriginal times to the present unromantic
age, typified by modern steam engine
and detachment of Spanish war veter-
ans. Contrasting in beauty as well as
other qualities with this modern engine
was the old hand-engine Columbia once
worked by the Father of his Country in
days before the Revolution, still preserv-
ed in perfect order, and laden with decor
ations of flowers. Ancient warehouses,
erected in the days when Alexandria was
the port of Northern Virginia and Mary
land, fand the pack trains started back
over the Alleghanies from here, were
respondent in Continental colors of buff
and blue, and the significant red, white
and red banners. There was also nation
al significance in the maner in which
the Confederate veterans mingled with
the blue coated soldiers, and the gray
uniforms of the Virginia National Guard
followed the blue of the regular army
detachments under the same colors. The
Governor of Virginia reviewed the pro-
cession. Christ Church, Washington's
ancient place of worship, was surround
ed by hundreds. Scores of citizens, dis
guised as Indians in full war paint, add
ed realistic circumstance to the re-
production of Colonial times. The
Continental uniforms of another detach-
ment of citizens heightened the impress
sion. but there was one disturbing factor
in the illusion. At frequent intervals
some band struck up the stirring notes OF
Dixie Washington, the city modern
and material, suffered the day to pass
unobseryed, the presence of few flags
being the only visible evidence of the
holiday. But down the river, Alexan-
dria, neither modern nor material, pos
sessing buildings and streets unchanged
since the days of the great general, cele-
brated the holiday in fashion all its
own"
G"Dixie," while producing en- thus
iasm now, has long since ceased to be
disturbing factor" in any sense. 1t,
however, has played such part in past
days and in close proximity to Washing
ton, too. Dixie" has become immortal
and while it may disturb those living
north of Mason and Dixon's line, to
those on this side of the Potomac a cele-
bration minus its animating strains
synnld be Hamlet without Hamlet.
