THAT IMPORTANT DECISION.

Some days ago we had some COM
ments on the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States which pro-
nounced the Erdman act unconstitu-
tional. Respecting that decision, and
the causes leading up to it. The Brook
lyn Eagle has this to say:
One of the interesting outcomes of
this litigation is the declaration that
the American Federation OF Labor is,
SO far as the boycott Is concerned,

this decision the legal status OF the
labor unions Is changed. They cannot
enter into combinations without violat-
ing the law 1t Is true, that the decis-
ion touches only interstate commerce
Still, the declaration of the principle
involved is quite likely to influence the
action of the various states in the mat
ter. But, as a matter of fact, whether
the individual States shall or shall not
hasten to conform to the Federal law
as now interpreted, the fact remains
that the boycott is practically forbid

can be extended to ell branches of the

stacles have been removed from their
paths. Freedom Of action and the fail

the meantime the Sherman antitrust
law, the repeal or modification of which
has been demanded in certain quarters
has been all the more firmly rooted

which IL employed its power.
In order to get better understand

case we copy the following from The

recent Washington talk of Democratic
