THE EMPLOYERS WILL PURSUE
LAWBREAKERS.

If the Journal understands correctly the
aim and object of the association of employ
ers which has just been formed, it is to OPP
pose and put an end to what they regard as
the illegal practices of labor unions. The
employers do not deny the right of work
men to organize fer the promotion of their
interests by legitimate means. Nobody de-
mics this, and it would be stupid for employ
ers to do so. Neither do they deny the right
of men to strike or quit work for any cause
that may seem good to them. That is an
individual right which it would be absurd to
deny.
What the employers deny is the right of
organized labor to attempt to enforce its
demands or control the action of employers
by intimidation and coercion, and by resort
to boycotting and picketing with their usual
Accomplishments of violence. When these
things are done by bodies numbers of men
acting together for common object they
constitute conspiracy in the eyes of the
law and are punishable as such. Labor
unions have a right to accomplish all they
can by legal methods, but when they resort
to illegal methods by interfering with the
rights and trying to injure the business of
others, they are in violation of law. The en-
ployers declare they only intend to oppose
these illegal methods.
AT its closing session the association
adopted the following:
Resolved, That the executive committee
shall organize a department to be known
as the law and order department, whose
duty and especial business Ii shall be to aid
the local organizations In apprehending and
prosecuting the party or parties guilty Of
violence in labor disputes.
Resolved, That no case of violence when
once taken up shall be allowed to drop un-
til the criminal has been satisfactorily dis
posed OF by the courts.
This makes the association a sort of law
and order league to secure the prosecution
of persons who are guilty of violence in labor
disputes This is a legitimate and COM
mendable purpose. During the last fifteen
or twenty years there have been dozens of
murders committed by strikers or persons
in sympathy with them of nonunion men,
and many other crimes short of murder have
been committed. 1t is not recalled that any
person has been punished for these crimes,
though possibly there may have been one
or two convictions.
This condition should not be permitted to
exist. 1t should be the duty of some per-
son to see that such crimes are punished
| and as local authorities do not act in the
matter employers have perfect right to.
| Organizations of citizens for the enforce
ment of law and punishment of crime are
always in order.
| The declaration that no case of violence
when once taken up, shall be allowed to
| drop until the criminal has been satisfac-
torily disposed of by the courts shows the
employers mean business. If they adhere to
their purpose of causing violators of the
law in labor disputes TO be prosecuted and
of pushing the cases to final decision by the
courts there will soon be an end of that
sort of violence.

Republcanism in the far and fiery South
is an article of distinctly higher grade than
it was quarter of century ago. At the
recent State convention In Louisiana a
Confederate veteran was nominated for
Governor and the remainder of the ticket
included the names of many men well-fitted
for the responsibilities of officeholding. A
New Orleans paper spoke of the conven-
ton "a body of respectable citizens -

Electrical Heating Device.

A novel heating apparatus has recently been
patented by r. A. Fliess 1t consists of an
electrical device for heating steering and other
handles which have to be grasped out of doors
in cold weather, such those on automobiles
and trolley cars. The Fliess handle simply con-
sists of a miniature electric stove inside glazed
or polished substance. which composes the grip.
In the case of electric automobile. a current
is sent through the resistance inside the handle
and the latter is thus readily maintained at a
temperature which keeps the hand and fingers
of the operator perfectly warm and supple dur
ing even the coolest weather-Electric World
