UNCLE SANS LATEST JOB

Now comes to the front another no.
table consequence of the trivial affair in
San Francisco whereby property OF
Japanese restaurateurs was damaged
by a mob. The United States govern
ment, as announced from Washington,
will lead in prosecution for damages on
behalf of the Japanese sufferers.
Such action on the part of the federal
government is recognized as close ap-
proach, at least, to an extrajudicial pro-
ceeding. That is apparent from the ad-
mission that 1.-THE necessity of resorting
to this course of action is deprecated"
together with the intimation that con-
gress will be asked, in the next ses-
sion, to provide by law for the handling
of all treaty right cases by the federal
courts.
An issue similar to the one raised in
San Francisco, but Of much greater i'm
portance, occurred about a dozen years
ago, caused by the killing of several
Italians by New Orleans mob. The
Italians were in Jail charged with the
assassination of a police official and
they were shot down in their cells. The
incident came near being casus belli.
That New Orleans incident brought
prominently to notice a defect in our
governmental relations with foreign
powers. Under our system of govern
ment the city of New Orleans, or the
state of Louisiana, was solely respon-
sible for the murderous doings Of the
mob. The federal government had
nothing to do with the case.
But a foreign power looks for re-
dress, in such cases, to a national gov
ernment, ignoring subdivisions. The
method of governments dealing directly
with one another in such cases is rec
ognized in many United States prece-
dents. The New Orleans incident
demonstrated the necessity for a
change whereby the federal govern
ment should deal with foreign powers
in case of ruptures involving treaty
rights.
Recognizing this need the secretary
of state, during Mr.. Cleveland's second
administration, endeavored to secure
an act of congress calculated to remedy
the defect. The effort was a failure,
however, and the defect still exists.
The idea that the proposed change
would conflict with the fundamental
principle of states rights was partly
accountable for the failure. But since
the United States has become a recog-
nized world power, with territory in
parts of the earth, it is gem
orally conceded that Secretary Olney's
suggestion, on behalf of the Cleveland
administration, has become national
necessity.

PERHAPS A BOOMERANG

1t is question whether the union
labor leaders are not throwing a
boomerang in their appeal to President
Roosevelt relative to the grievances of
the telegraph operators. The point of
their contention calls to mind the say
ing that cts a poor rule that won't
work both ways"
On behalf of the telegraphers' or
| ganization the Central Labor union OF
Washington has asked the president
"to institute an investigation to de-
termine if the telegraph companies
have entered into a conspiracy in re-
straint of trade in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law" The basis of this
action is the charge that business of
national Importance is being interfered
with because OF the strike"
No doubt a wide interruption of tele-
graph service would interfere seriously
with national business, but where
would blame therefor properly attach
The suspension of service would result
primarily from the action of the ope-
rators, not from any action of the COM
concede a demand-however righteous
the demand may be-for higher wages,
under threat of a strike, could hardly
be recognized as an offense against
the government.
But this phase of the situation in the
telegraphers' case is widely important
because of it's bearing on the question
whether trade unions are amenable to
both federal and state antitrust laws.
The Herald recently called attention to
this question in discussing the anti
trust act passed in the last session of
the legislature.
The situation in the telegraph ser
vice seems to afford a test case to de-
termine whether certain features of
trade unionism involve conspiracy in
restraint of trade" The telegraph
operators in San Francisco, as union
organization, have engaged in strike
for higher wages. There is no question
about their legal rights to that extent.
But their leaders intimate that it is
necessary only for them to give the
word in order to "call out" other unions
the linemen, electricians, etc. Further
more, it is saiu that similar unions in
Los Angeles and other cities would re-
spond at once to a strike call from San
Francisco.
nf fha TNY1hltC &C. M
doubt with the telegraph operators in
their demand for better wages or
shorter hours. How long that SYM
pathy will remain if the public shall be
seriously injured by the strike is of
course question. But public sympa-
thy and the strike are not connected
with the legal question which may be
otherwise involved in the situation.
According to the phrasinS of the Cali
fornia antitrust law definition of the
word trust in its application to the law,
it is very broad. 1t covers not only the
association of material interests but
"skill' as well, which it specifically
names. A large majority of trade
Unions make skill a prerequisite to ad-
mission.
In appealing to the president for ac-
ton against the telegraph companies
under the federal trust law the trade
union element seems to have precipi-
tated official inquiry regarding the LA
bility o. such unions under the same
law.
