DEATH TAX BUILDS

LONDON, Oct. 20.-Unusual luck is
falling TO the Liberal government by
the deaths Of millioraires. which will
provide the chancellor of the exchequer
with a big surplus for his budget.
The seventh millionaire TO die since
April was the Earl of Leven and Mel
vile, who has left property, exclusive
OF settled estate, OF S6,5eOOJ0 This
alone would yield in inheritance tax
about S65O.OoO. but the exchequer will
probably get much more from the late
earls settled property.

into power since the inheritance tax

harvest theTefTOm.
Since The death duties came into force
eleven years ago, they have Yielded an
average annual expense Of S63 900 COO

A MOmentOuS Decision.

Two points of Importance to or
ganized labor were decided by the
supremet court of Massachusetts
Wednesday, one of them of such far
reaching potentiality as to put the
other completely in the shade. The
opinion was in answer TO an appeal
taken by the members of two Brick
layers Benevolent and Protective
Unions and a Stonemasons' Benevo-
lent and Protective Union from the
action of Judge Morton. of the SUI
preme court, who issued a perlna-
nent injunction restraining the
unions and their officers and mem
bers from interfering with four non
union men.
First is laid down the proposition
that the right of laborers to organ
ize unions and 20 utilize such organ
izations by instituting a strike is an
exercise of the common law right
of every citizen to pursue his call
ing, whether of labor or business.
as he in his Judgment thinks fit"
Few doubted that, and, although il
is gratifying To have it formulated
by the highest court of a State con
spicuous for lis leadership in iuris-
prudence, labor is none the gamer
thereby.
The thing of overwhelming signi-
ficance is this:
In our opinion. organized labOr'S right
of coercion and compulsion Is limited
10 strikes on persons with whom the
organization has a trade dispute or 10
put il another way, we are Of the
opinion that a strike on a. with whom
the striker has no trade dispute. 10 COM
pei 4 10 force b To WELD TO the strikers
demands. is an unjustifdble interference
with the rights of y 10 pursue his call
ing a he thinks best.
That means that the sO-called
sympathetic strike" must cease in
The Washington times., 1906-10-21

that State, at least whenever an in
junction is asked against it. 1t de-
prives the labor unions of a power
full weapon, for often the fear of
such a strike in shops and factories
where there has been no grievance
has influenced employers TO induce
the settlement of other strikes fay
orably to the men.
OF course, a trade dispute" can
be found, if necessary to extend a
strike to other than the shop where
it originated, but the process viii
not be easy, and to manufacture
grievances where there are none
would put labor in the wrong in the
eyes of the world. The unions are ex-
pected now to admit, with that good
sense that ultimately rules them all,
that the coercing of one employer
through the means of another can
no more be practiced in Massachu-
setts. And in the long run the de-
cision will doubtless be for labor's
benefit.
