The purpose Of men acting In con-
cert. who desire to talk" with others
is a fair subject for court inquiry. In
the case Of strike 1t is known that the
purpose Is unlawful. It Is 10 be re-
membered, also, that the nan who
does not want to be talked to has
some rights under the law.
It has been found in Chicago that
the conversational powers Of labor
unionists are very great. After lis,
tening to the persuasive eloquence Of
peaceful strikers for a few minutes
non-union men have been known to
pack up and with their families move
to parts unknown before sunrise.
Possibly they may have acted under
q misrepresentation, but probably not.
They found object lessons emphasiz'
ing the conversation in the hospitals
and the morgues.
There will be no solution OF these
strike problems until all the parties
thereto are compelled to obey the
laws. There will be no abatement 81
the intolerable p~retensions Of the
strike societies until every lawless
%rufian who operates in 9heir name is
made to understand that the rules and
regulations Of labor unionism dosnot
snpersede the law Of the land.
