Boyeotting Legal in Germany.

AT "A time when tie courts in this
country are engaged i'll their usual
pastime OF knocking out labor laws,
says the New York Worker, it is
interesting to note that in Germany
the Reichsgericht, which CORES
ponds there to the United States
Supreme Court here, and is the court
of the last resort, has decided that
boycotting on the part of strikers
workingmen is legal. The decision
went so far as to expressly declare
not only that the strikers cou d
themselves boycott an antagonistic
employer, but also that is was leea
for them to appeal to the public e
assist them and join in the boycott.
This decision of the German
court can only be modified by the
consent of the government and a
majority of the Reichstag.

TRADES, UNION PATRIOTS.
A Striking Parallel Between The Soldier
And The Union Man.

Suppose soldier, when called
upon to defend his country from n
plundering enemy, should go to his
general and ask: ''What is there
IN II Tor me!' We can imagine
that the response of the general
would be something like this:
mat is an odd question for a
soldier to ask, but since YOU
nave asked me I viii tell you.
There are toilsome days and sleep
less nights. There are great hard
ships, exposure to cold and heat
and storm. There are dangers from
disease. wounds and death all along
the path of duty. The individual
lays all upon the altar of his
country that his country may he
saved You do not come into our
ranks for what you can get, sir,
put for what you c:1n give. We
have no use for selfish skulkers and
mp-followers.'
The parallel between the soldier
ana the union man is striking.
The true union man goes into the
cause for what he can give. 1t lis
true that victory, with all its
honors and advantages, awaits him:
but these come only as the reward
OF courage aud soldierly self-denial.
The fellow who comes asking
What shall l get out of its"l is
about as worthless in the one IN
stance us in the other.
