HIRELLNGS AND HOODLUMs.

When AssemblymaD Hughes's BILL prohibit
ing persons or corporations from discriminate
ing against members of the National Guard
came up for consideration before the Assembly
Committee on Codes. 1t was hoped by many peo-
pie who think well of organized labor that
prominent labor leaders would advocate It's
passage. 1t would have been a good oppor-
tunity to show to the public that the opposition
to the National Guard did not exist among the
men who directed the affairs OF the labor Or
CARNATIONS, and that the cry Down with the
National Guardp found no echo with the higher
powers in labor circles.
But these hopes were not realized. The labor
representatives who appeared before the com
mittee indorsed the actions of their friends who
look upon the guardsman the enemy of or
ganized labor and set the seal Of their approval
on the edict which closes the doors of the labor
union against the National Guardsman. One
of the labor representatives in his argument
against the measure said THE bill insults and
hurts the men connected with the trade
unions. and he justified the labor organZa-
tions in excluding guardsmen the ground
that any secret society has the right to select
its own members. So 1t has. But it must be
remembered also that the trade societies strive
to draw into their ranks the best men in the
field of labor, and that they look down upon
those who Will NOT JOIN as 'Sca0S," unworthy
of consideration. These unworthy, unaffiliated
workmen are the men whom the labor leaders
would place in the National Guard. They are
good enough TO protect life and property IN
time of riot and disorder. but the union man
must stand aloof; he cannot be loyal TO his
union and guardian of the public peace at the
same time, and to ask union TO accept as a
member a man who in time of need would risk
his life in the cause of order would be .aTf in
suit
Another champion of the cause of labor
against the Guard said that labor men do not
incite riot; that the mischief makers are hire
lings and hoodums." If this be So why should
not an honest union man be allowed to do his
share toward restoring order and furnishing the
''hireling" and the "hoodlum"? There would
he excuse for the labor unions opposition
10 the National Guard If the rioters were union
men, if the disturbers of the peace were men,
bers of the secret labor organizations and so
long the leaders OF organized Dor oppose
measures like the one now before the legislat-
ure the public will not believe that the mischief
makers. the people who make 1t necessary to
call upon the citizen soldiery, all hireinga

shot on every corner and occasionally
in the middle of the block, and that
even the kids carried pistols. That
night they started to the theater, and
