leads the country IN iron making but
we have the Illinois Steel company here,
which is one Of the largest In the world.
We do more packing than any other
city, and we have car works, furniture
works and, In fact, almost every kind
OF works. The result Is that II there is
strike/in any branch Of business the
Chicago branch Of that business strikes
in sympathy, This gives us q variety
Of strikes. which are magnifed by some
OF the newspapers, whose sensational
reports are telegraphed all over the
country"
PICKETING THE DEAD.
"Then Chicago Is not as bad as II Is
painted2" said ],
mo. II Is not" replied Mayor Harrl-
son. 1T is not an angel city, but II Is
far from being the devil city that some
people who have never been here think
il TO be, On the whole II is about as
good city as any In the country and
Just about as full OF Christian charity
common decency, good order and broth
erly love-
but you certainly have many violent
| labcring men, Mr. Mayor. How about
| this stopping funerals and statoning
| pickets about the houses Of the dead
| TO keep non.unlon men from aiding In
| their interment.'
Most OF those stories are lies" said
Mayor Harrison THE union drivers
| did not refuse 20 drive hearses. az has
| been alleged, They would not drive the
| carriages, but IL was the liverymen
who held back the hearses, saying they
would not let them go out without the
| carriages went, too, All such state
| ments were exaggerations, As TO pick
| citing the dead. as soon as ] heard
there was any danger OF such a thing
/ ordered the police to see that no
stragglers or persons with evil intent
were allowed to linger about within
two blocks Of any house In which there
was death or within that distance
OF a church where funeral ceremony
was being held
"And then" continued the mayor,
"why single out Chicago for the sole
condemnation OF the public when other
cities have been equally guilty as to
strikes In respect to funerals The
same was the case IN St Louis; but so
far Chicago has received all the op-
probrium and 81. Louis Is hardly men,
toned"
THE -UNIONISTS IN CHICAGO.
How does your labor compare with
that Of other cities as to peace and
quietness?
1T is just about the same said
Mayor Harrison II we have more
strikes 1t Is only because we have more
men and more business"
How about the non-unlon man; has
he any chance for work in Chicago?'
YES. We have large number of es-
Establishments which employ non-unior
men only, and many which employ botl
unionists and non-unonists The non.
union worker not only gets job here
but he is protected in II, all statement:
TO the contrary Notwithstanding
Gould a non-unlon factory be started
In Chicago with any hope Of success
Eyes. II that success depended solely
or the use Of non-union workmen. IL
men would not be molested and 4
would have as fair show In that re
gard as any union factory. AS to tn,
financial results. these would lie Will
the owners Of the business and thei
! management thereof"
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1904-03-26

II then called out the police force. !
put a certain number of officers In cltl-
zcns clothes IN each car, and they
went with such passengers or nom
union men as rode on the cars 20 their
homes 10 insure their protection. The
property owners, the public ana the
non-union workmen certainly had the
protection of the city in that strike II
was the same IN the Kellogg Switch
board company strike, where we pro-
hibited any outside teams coming With
I'm certain distance Of the factory
But do not the courts here discrim-
mate in favor of the trades unlons?'
THE trades unionists are always
claiming that the contrary Is the fact"
said the mayor. "No, | don't think so.
We have bad system Of punishments
here, allowing the judges to give indie
terminate sentences--that is. they send
a man TO prison for term based upon
good behavior, and this opens up
chances for Influence. or pull as 1t is
called, to aid in his release That, how
ever, is an evil OF the law and not of
the executive.

zone ofthe great troubles in these
conflicts Of labor and capital Mr.
Harrison went on, is that both labor.
er and capitalist are too often illiberal
brutal or, to say the least, too inconsid

'Do you think, Mr. Harrison, that

ganized labor has abused its privileges.

ton performed is that OF the state.
Though the ownership is private, the
use is public.
Thus it seems to have been settled
that the title of the railroad companies
to their property is that of trustees,
charged with the duty of administer
ing the property for the benefit OF the
public.-What's The Use
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-11-24

a few months in the year. was so
plainly a private enterprise that the
sovereign power of eminent domain
could not be invoked in aid Of it.
AS to the issue of public bonds in
aid of railroad construction, the case
of Town CT Duanesburgh VS.. Jenkins
CT N. Y, 177-18S) may be cited in
which the court of appeals, in 1874,
after referring to former decisions up
holding such issues, added: That in
the absence OF special constitutional
restraints, the state itself may build
and run railroad. or may take shares
in it, is obvious Indeed, in. the in
fancy of such enterprises, the grant of
the right of eminent domain to rail-
road companies was sustained upon lie
idea that railroads were, in their own
nature, public undertakings and of pub
lie use, as other highways. It was
considered mere prudential question,
to be decided by the state itself, wheth-
er it would construct them as public
works. by the state officers, or commit
that power to private individuals who
should do the work and derive their
remuneration from the profits of the
enterprise. With these views, the state
made loans and subsidies in aid of
such undertakings; and in the earlier
laws for the incorporation Of railroad
companies, provided for the assump-
ton by the state Of the whole enter
prise, upon terms of payment pre-
scribed in the acts of incorporation. =
(See New York Laws of 1888, p. 462).
For the legal effect of this doctrine
that railroads are public highways, it
is enough to refer to one or two of
the scores Of cases which assert the
power of the state to regulate rail-
road charges and management.
Justice Emmons, in Talcott VS.
Township Of Pine Grove Il Flippin,
U. S. Circuit Ct. Rep, 144): The road
once construed is, instanter, and by
mere force of the grant and law, en-
bodied in the governmental agencies
of the state and dedicated to public
use. All and singular its cars, IN
gines, right of way and property Of
every description, real, personal and
mixed, are but trust fund for the
political power. like the functions of
a public Office"
In 1883. the supreme court Of New
York compelled the New York Cent al
and Hudson River Railroad company,
which had partly suspended business,
owing to strike by it's freight hand
lers, to resume operations or incur the
risk of forfeiting it's charter. Rail
roads," said the court. "are, in every
essential quality, public highways, Gre
ated for public use, but permitted to
be owned, controlled and managed by
private persons" and it is the duty of
the state to see to it that "the fran
chise SO put in trust be faithfully adj
ministered by the trustee" people
VS.. N. Y. C. & H. r. r. r. Co.. % Hun,
543).
Supreme court of the United States
in Olcutt VS.. Supervisors &c Wall
678-694): Whether the use of a rail-
road is a public or private one de-
ponds in no measure upon the question
who constructed it or VINO owns it. 1t
has never been considered a matter of
any Importance that the road was built
by the agency of private corporation.
No matter who is the agent, the func-
