ern houses to live in, but did it
ever occur to society and politi-
clans that you have to modernize
laws as well? The gold standard.
high protective tariff and bountiful
crop theories were no assurance OF
bread and butter this time.
What more can Bryan give us?
We can't go back to Lincoln or
Jefferson days with out modern
machinery and methods. We must
go forward in knowledge. The ma
tons of the world pattern after one
another in producing labor saving
machinery, which is in itself a
blessing to mankind if owned and
operated by the producers. l hope
someone else will try to shed some
light on what to do with the unem-
ployed. John M. Hanson.

eY HENRY GEORGE, JR.

The discrimination against men
because OF their religious beliefs
led to the slaughter of thousands
and the abject misery Of hundreds
OF thousands and even millions
through the centuries in Europe.
Likewise the discrimination
against particular workmen be-
cause OF membership in trade
unions has cost much bloodshed
and suffering in this country.
That was one of the causes of
the sanguinary strike in 1892 at
the Carnegie works at Homestead.
Armed Pinkertons met armed
workmen and II men were killed.
1t was one of the causes Of the
great Pullman strike in 1894,
with its ramifcations over the

great Colorado labor struggle in

other monopoly powers have be-
come so dominant they have striv-
en- to hold at their mercy their
employees by preventing or de-
stroying organization among
them. The employees have resisted,
and more or less constant conflict
has resulted.
To protect the workmen engaged
within federal jurisdiction, con-
gress in 1888 passed a law for the
arbitration of disputes between
common carriers engaged in inter
state commerce and their en-
ployes. For whatever reason this
law was imperative.
On June /, 1898, congress amend
ed 1t. The amendment prohibited
the discharge of employees merely
because they might be members of
unions. This law has been COM
monty known as the Erdman act.
The law looked strong: but it
interfered with the policy and in
terests Of the railroad corporations.
They resolved to attack it.
On October Is, 1906, one VIM.
Adair, master mechanic in the en-
ploy of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Co., discharged one o. b.
Coppage, for no other assigned rea-
son than that the said Coppage
was a member of the order of
locomotive firemen.
Coppage brought suit under the
Erdman act against Adair, who
was found guilty and sentenced to
pay to the United States fine OF
800.
But Adair's case was appealed
from court to court, until it
reached the supreme court of the
United States. There on the 9th
OF January, 1908, six Justices
namely, Fuller Harlan, Brewer,
White, Peckham and Day-declared
the Erdman act unconstitutional.
The ground taken was that
there is no such connection be-
tween interstate commerce and
membership in a labor organiza-
ton as to authorize congress to
make 1t crime against the
United States for an agent Of an
interstate carrier to discharge an
employe because of such member
ship on his part"
The court consequently ordered
the Judgment against Adair in the
lower court to be reversed.
Mr.. Justice Moody did not par
ticipate in the decision of the
case, but Mr.. Justice McKenna,
who vigorously dissented from the
majority, pointed out that the case
dealt with rights exercised in a

BOYS MOB POLICEMEN

BUTTE, March 14.-Policemen
Whitman and Smith attempted to
break up high school ball practice
in the streets. A crowd of 100 stu.

and made a football of Whitman.
His eyes were blackened and he
was beaten and bruised. Smith was

quasi public business and therefore
subject to control in the interest
Of the public"
Mr.. Justice Holmes, also strong
ly dissenting. believed that the con
nection Of unions to the business OF
common carriers lis at least as in
innate and important as that OF
safety couplers, and as
the liability of master to servant,
matters which, it is admitted, con-
gress might regulate, so far as they
concern commerce among the
states" He went on to say: II
could not pronounce it unwarrant-
ed II congress should decide that
| to foster a strong union was for the
best interest, not only of the men,
but of the railroads and the coun.
try at large"
But six men in silk gowns have
decided the matter and congress
appears to be without legislative
remedy.
Yet If the railroads have reached
their mark, they have also shot be-
yond it. For the decision distinctly
says that if workmen can be dis
charged for any reason, they can
themselves, for any reason, stop
work.
This strengthens the strike
weapon, which the monopoly cor
|, porations have been striving to
DESTROY: and as an unexpected
consequence of this decision in the
Adair case it needs but favorable
conditions to involve the country
in great and far-reaching strikes.
