may we not hope that even in this Tn
stance, one, if not more, of Jesse's
friends may be led to more serioN
contemplation of life, and in cooss--
quence of this unhappy event, take 4he
first step in the shining path that lea5-

Parker on Rights of Orgaized Labor

Extracts from an opinion rendered by Judge
Parker in the case of National Protective AS.
ISOLATION v. Cummings, 10 n. Y, 3l5l
"Workingmen have the right
to organize for the purpose of Sc
curing better wages, shorter hours
Of labor, or improving their re-
lations with their employers.
They have the right to strike
that is, to cease working in a
body by Encouragement until
grievance is redressed, provided
the object is not to crafty malice
or inhict injury upon others. but
to secure better terms of employ
ment for themselves. A peace
able and orderly strike, not to
harm others, but to improve their
own conditions, is not a violation
Of law"
"The principles quoted above
recognize the legal right of men,
bers of an organization to strike
that is, to cease working in a
body by Encouragement until
grievance is redressed, and they
enumerate some things that may
be treated as the subject of a
grievance, namely, the desire to
obtain higher wages. shorter hours
of lakor, or improved relations
with their employers; but this
enumeration does not, / take it,
purport to cover all the grounds
which will lawfully justify MEM
bers of an organization refusing
in body and by prearrangement
to work. The enumeration is il
. Illustrative rather than compre-
hensive, for the object of such an
organization is to benefit all its
members, and it is their right to
STRIFE, if need be, in order to Sc
cure any lawful benefit to the sew
eral members of the organization
as, for instance, to secure the re-
employment of a member, they
regard as having been improperly
discharged, and to secure from an
employer of a number of them
employment for other members
Of their organization who may be
out of employment, although the
effect will be to cause the dis
charge of other employees who
are not members"

are anxious 80 see the section of
Texas with the famous metropo-
lis of which they have heard such
wonderful stories and read such
marvellous accounts.

royalty and declares that the trip
has done him physical and intel
lectual good as well as being the
means of bringing many good
people here to see what San An
CELLO and West Texas is.
Wherever Mr.. Spencer went he
was accorded the utmost courtesy
of the newspaper fraternity. The
Galveston News called attention
to his visit and its purpose in al
article of over a column. The
Houston Post, Houston Chronicle.

other papers of less Importance
in South Texas did the same.
