Not an Attack on Unions.

Spokane Spokesman-Rev Mr..
Gompers and a number of his sup
porters have raised the false cry that
the rights and existence of labor are
in some way bound up with his break
ing of the law and defiance of the
courts.
But the plain truth is that this
righteous purpose of the courts to en-.
force the law against Mr.. Gompers
and others who have joined him in its
violation is not in the slightest an in.
fringement upon the rights or the
welfare of organized labor.
The law plainly provides, and the
courts have held, that workingmen
have the right to organize and to pre-
scribe rates of wages and hours OF
labor, to strike in enforcement oil
their demands and to fine or expel
members who refuse to obey the law
full orders of their leaders.
None of these rights are involved
in the case against Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison. These men have been
sentenced to prison because the.
have gone fer beyond those rights
and sought to inf1ict grievous wrongs
upon others.
The law does not punish them fol-
fighting for their own rights, but fol
their intolerant attempt to ride down
the rights of others.

An Ann.st R.uision

Buffalo News; Judge Taft says that
he stands for an honest revision in &C
cordance with the pledge of the Chi
cago platform. He does not want any
pretended revision and he does not
want any that is based up the notion
that necessarily cutting down is re-
vision.
1t may be that the President-elect
has not a very clear idea of tariff
schedules in their practical working
but it Is certain that he will have in
no long time after he is able TO give
his time wholly 10 his official duties.
He may not now have the business
mans knowledge of how rate of
duty affects a particular business but
that will be mastered BY the Execu-
tive and when he is satisfied of what
is the right thing to do he will urge
its doing. and if a bill comes 10 him
that is right. whether schedules go up
or go down. as he himself said during
the campaign. he will stand for what
is right.
He has the wisdom TO know that in
some cases schedules must moved
up as Well as that in many other
cases they must be moved down in
order To reach basis that is eQuit-
ehlc between importer, dealer and con-
sumer. He is wise and brave enough
