LABOR'S MAGMA CFfARTA.

The more labor studies ths
treatment which labor has re
ceived at the hands of William FL.
| Taft, both on and off the bench,
the more evident it becomes to
every fair-minded worker that
Judge Taft has not only been just
and impartial in dealing with the
interests of workingman, but that
his decisions, followed as prece-
dents by other courts, has been
of inestimable value to labor in
upholding the rights of railway
workmen to leave their employ-
ment where theysee fit, irrespect-
i've of the consent of the en-
ployer. 1t is well known that
even in England, where labor
possesses more rights than in any
other country of Europe, differ
ent rule prevails, and the crew of
a train quitting without giving
several days notice can be pros
ecuted criminally. Some Amer
ican railways sought to maintain
a similar rule, but Judge Taft, in
the Toleuo and Ann Arbor rail-
road case, held that the relation
of employees to railway compa-'
nies is one of free contract, and
is not analogous to that of sea-
men in the maritime service, who
to a certain extent, surrender
their liberty in their employment
and are punishable for desertion. |
The employment, therefore, in
the case of railway service, was
terminable by either party. The
court could not compel the en-
forcement of personal services as
against either the employer or the
employed, against the will of
either.
1t was this decision which
prompted the head of one of the
'ailway labor organizations, few
lays ago, to write to Mr.. Taft

'ailway controversy the railway

Be Base Bali Booster

Idaho Springs will be treated to
some good games of base ball this sea-
son. Thomas Bonner and the Idaho
Springs Athletic ASSOCIATE are
thoroughly interested in this move.
He will push the work with his charac-
teristic energy which means success
Arrangements are now being made
to erect grand stand and make other
improvements at the ball grounds.
The promoters of this enterprise have
already two batteries signed up while
players for other positions are signing
up SO that within the next three weeks
there will be something doing. There
should be hearty cooperation on
the part of the citizens who enjoy
game of ball for this move means the
bringing here of teams from other parts
of the state for the entertainment of
the public. There should be no hesi-
fancy on the part of the votaries of
the base ball to come to the assistance
of Mr.. Bonner and others in the way
of subscribing to fund to place the
grounds in suitable condition and also
towards assisting to defray expenses.
Any one who has had experience in this
line knows thatit requires quite an out
lay to keep a good team in a town
this size during the season. This
should appeal to pleasure-lovers as
business proposition and every
possible assistance should be forth
coming. Let's have interesting ball
this season and let's have concerted
action. Stand up for Idaho Springs
and good ball team.
