DECISIONS OF JUDGE PARKER SHOW THAT HE is A
BELIEVER IN INHERENT RIGHTS OF WORKING PEOPLE
Declares Labor Has Right to Organize and Strike to Obtain
Wages Under State Contracts

New York, Sept. 12- That
Judge Parer is a staunch ad-
with organized labor unions is conclu
sively proven by a study of the many
decisions handed down by him in the
past, among them being one in which
he holds that the sale of convict-made
goods is competition with regularly
manufactured articles is detrimental to
the welfare of the laboring class in
general.
In 1896 the so-called "convict-made
goods label act" which provided thai
all convict goods made within the state
should be plainly labeled as such and
held by the court of appeals 10 uncon
stitutional. people VS.. Hawkins, l9'
y. Y. L. Judge Parker wrote a dis
senting opinion of which the following
are extracts:
The people OF the state have forbid
den the sale of articles manufactured
in our prisons for the reason that they
deemed it be against sound public
policy to permit some of the citizens
of the state skilled in certain kinds
Il
of labor 10 be subjected TO competition
with the unpaid labor Of cOnvicts.
1t is now too late to consider the
subject generally from the point OF
view of the political economist. for the
people. in whom reside all power, have
! set at rest that question so far as this
state is concerned. 1t simply requires

so branded that our citizens shall know
where the goods they are buying were
made.
This they have a right to know. foI

in regard TO articles offered them fol
sale. that they may not, through Iacl

that which they would not buy advis
edlv.
The conclusion necessarily follows
therefore, from an examination of I'll,

cited, that the purpose of Article VIII

lawful. If the organization notifies the
employer that its members Will not

although the fact viii be to cause the
discharge of other employees who are
not members"
Another illustration of his friendli-
ness to labor is found in the dissenting
opinion written by him in the Rodgers
case GGO y. Y. II This case was to
determine the cOnstitutiOnality of sec
tion 3 of the state labor law which
was to the effect that the state must in
all instances pay to laboTeTs on public
| works the prevailing rate of wages.
| This was held to unconstitutional by
| the court, in which Judge Parker dis
sented as follows:
The legislature which is vested with
the power to direct the conduct Of the
/ business operations of the state, by
this statute has not only declared il
to be the policy Of the state as a pro
prietOr TO pay the prevailing wages
but has enjoined upon its severa
agents and agencies the duty of exc
cutting this policy. An attack upon this
statute, therefore. assails the right
of the state as proprietor 70 pay such
wages as il chooses 10 those who eithel
work for it directly or upon any worl

lengaged.
no one has presumed 10 challenge

was much excitement here yesterday
afternoon when the lookout at Point
Lobes reported a Russian cruiser en-
tering port. 1t proved to be the con-
verted cruiser Lena, direct from
Vladivostok. and it was in
here. according to Capt. Ben
linsky. because his boilers were so
defective as to make the vessel practi-
cally unseaworthy. 1t will be disman-
tied and may remain here a month.
The ship is under command of Capt.
Benlinsky, and carries u guns, 1873
men, and 16 officers.
Washington is Surprised.
Washington. Sept. 12.-Capt J. +.
Pillsbury. acting chief of the bureau of
navigation, was much surprised to
hear that the Lena was in American
waters. He said any request for her
to repair would be referred to the state
department before answer was made.
The recent complications AT Shanghai
make this delicate question.
The Lena was heard of last at Nlad-
ivostok. That she should have steam
ed the 1000 miles from there To San
Francisco is considered surprising.
Ordinarily a ship of her class would
make a northern route to Seattle, Ia
coma or Vancouver, or vcrging south
would touch at Honolulu. Why she
should be ordered to American waters
is a mystery to officials here.

is not TO crafty malice or infiict injury
