THE PEoNAGE LAW
CONSTITUTIONAL.
Live Oak Democrat.

In what is known as the Clyatt peon-
age case, originally tried before
Judge Swayne in TINS state, and in
which Clyatt was convicted and ap-
pealed to the supreme court Of the
United States, the latter tribunal on
Monday last handed down decision
reversing the case because Of certain
defects in the proof, but at the same
time announcing with emphasis the
cpstitutionality of the so-called peon-
age law under which men are indicted
and tried in the federal courts for the
crime of peonage.
On this point the court says: I'VE
entertain no doubt of the validity of
this legislation or of its applicability
to the case of any person. holding an
other in a state of peonage, and this
whether there be municipal ordinance
or state law sancuoning such holding.
1t operates directly on every citizen
of the republic wherever his residence
may be-"
Under this decision it looks like a
great many people in the South had
been innocently violating the peonage
law ana running the risk of the feder-
al penitentiary without knowing it. 1t
has been a custom in many Southern
states for years past for negroes (and
sometimes white mem convicted OF
minor offenses and unable to pay
their fines, to work out the amount in
the employ of men needing their labor,
such men of course paying the fines.
The custom has undoubtedly been
abused in some instances, but in a
large majority of cases, We apprehend,
il has been voluntary servltude on the
part of the convict and he was glad OF
the chance to save term in jail or
on the chain gang. But the federal
law, with the supreme court to back
it, evidently inten0s to break up the
system, and hereafter the man who
pays a ''nigger's" fine and takes him
in charge to have MIN work it out,
incurs all the perils of the peonage
law, and had better hunt his labor
elsewhere and let mister niger go to
the chain gang where he will get some
sure enough involuntary servitude."

STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION
WANTS NEW LIBEL LAW.

The Ocala Star says: The editor is
back from meeting with the State
Press gang at Lake City. Toe occa-
sion was a fine gathering and a strict
~ business one. The most important
work done by the association vas the
appointment of a committee to go be-
fore the Legislature and have our pres.
ent unjust and unfair libel law chang
ed. and with that end in view appoint
ed the following committee to wreStle
with the legislature, namely, Editors
Claude LEngle of the Jacksonville
Sun, Wallace Stoyall of the Tampa
Tribune and Frank L. Mayes of the
Pensacola Journal, and appropriated
enough money to pay their expenses
at Tallahassee for two weeks.
The meeting was a great success
The people of Lake City proffered us
THE glad hand and the open town. The
meeting last night at the University,
which was a veritable state fair. ard
university symposium, presented an
audience that was a delight to look
upon. The editor of the Star was
among the speakers. Great enthusi-
asm prevailed. A pleasant incident
was the presentation to the retiring
president, Tom McBeath. of the East
Florida Seminary. and editor of the
School Exponent, of a beautiful clock,
as an expression of the esteem and
love in which he is held by the .asso-
citation. Congressman Frank Clark
was one Of the eloquent orators. Aft
or the meeting refreshments were
served in Science Hall and a good so
cial time was had.

The Daily News makes a heroic eff

letter as published in Tuesdays Jour.

Senator Mallory distinctly said that

arguments of the Anti-Wnite Primary

Our evening contemporary accuses
Senator Mallory of Quitting in" to the
White Primary campaign and it init
mates that local democrats can settle
the matter without any "instruc-
tons from Washington" This is about
as bad break as the Daily News
has ever made. Senator Mallory is
about as big local democrat" as
anyone else and ne has as much right
to speak in support of the public in
terests here as the News has to oppose
them. He lives in Pensacola.

UNION SHOPS VS.. NON-UNION
SHOP.

A writer in a recent issue of the
Public sharply defines the so-called
open shop as follows:
No term has come into vogue for
establishments which exclude union
lists from employment. The reason
probably is that no employers make
this exclusion. The issue they raise
is between the CLOSED shop" which
employees only unionists, and the
open shop" which employees union
lists and non-unionists without dis
elimination. And the reason why en-
ployers. however inimical to labor or
CARNATIONS any of them may be- never
insist upon excluding unionists for be-
ing unionists, Is because freedom to
employ -unionists is, in present
conditions. sufficiently destructive of
unionism.
Both sides to the labor controversy
realize that the issue of "closed shop
versus open shop" practically in
wolves the issue of union or no union.
Consequently open shop" or CLOSED
shop has become the issue over
which workingmen's unions and en-
ployers' unions are struggling.
Without taking the space at this
time to discuss the question of moral
right or wrong, of freedom or coercion,
Of liberty or autocracy, which the Is
sue Of "open shop" versus closed
shop" involves, we invite an imparti-
nj comparison simply of the probable
industrial results of either policy.
Much that Is being said and written
about the inherent right to work Is for
the most part pure hypocrisy, when
not Grass Ignorance. Those who say
it and write 1t are usually not worth
arguing with, because in their hearts
and heads they don't mean it. What
they do mean is that non unionists
have an inherent natural right to work
when employers want to use them to
break strikes.
