to kill

FOR JUSTICE
SECURES PLEDGE OF FAVOR.
ABLE ACTION FROM CANNON
ON LIABILITY LAW AND PRO-
TESTS INJUNCTION PROCESS

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 20.
Pres. Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, accompanied
by a number of other national Ia
Dor officers, have secured from
Speaker Cannon declaration in
favor of a new employers liability
law to replace the act declared in
valid by the supreme court. A quail
fed statement and promise to bring
the matter before the senate was
also secured from Vice President
Fairbanks. Cannon said that the
sentiment of the house is unani-
mously in favor of the passage of
another liability act
In the face of adverse rulings
from the courts and possibility of
punishment from contempt in the
injunction cases also complained

Dor made no attempt to evade the
issue, plain language being used in

the memorial presented. In regard
to the action of the court in apply
ing provisions Of the Sherman anti
trust law to labor the protest says:
a. Labor and the people generally
look askance at the invasion of the
court upon the province of the law
making and legislative department
81 our government There is some
thing omnous the ronic manner
in which the court guarantees to
workers:
"The right to be named and kill
ed without liability to the employer.
"The right to be discharged for
belonging to union.
"The right to work as many
hours as employer please, and I'M
der any conditions which they may
impose.
Labor is justly indignant at the
bestowal of or guaranteeing OF
rights by the courts. which in the
same breath deny and forbid to the
workers the practical and necessary
protection of the laws which define
and safeguard their rights and lib
critics and the exercise of them in
dividually or in association"
Request is made for laws limit
ing the power Of issuing injunc-
tions, and the following proposed
amendments to the Sherman law
are offered
That nothing in said act (Sher-
man antitrust acD or in this act,
is intended nor shall any provisions
hereafter be enforced so as to APP
ply to organizations or associations
not for profit and without capital
stock, nor to the members of such
organizations or associations.
That nothing in said act (Sher-
man antitrust law or in this act
is intended, nor shall any provision
thereof hereafter be enforced so as
TO apply to any arrangements, agree
ments or combinations among per-
sons engaged in agricultural or hor-
ticultural pursuits made with a
view of enhancing the price of their
own agricultural or horticultural
products"
Application of the eight hour law
to all public work is also advocated.
The labor memorial made no
threats, but held that the party in
power must be held responsible for
denying just redress to labor If the
petition is rejected
Cannon mentioned only the en-
ployers' liability law in announcing
his attitude, and Fairbanks named
no specific act.

BY HENRY GEORGE JR.

1t was at the call of organized
workmen in the cities and of the
farmers of the country generally
that congress IS years ago passed
the Sherman antitrust act.
The purpose was to control the
railroads and check the trusts.
If, instead of this, the railroads
had been regarded as public high
ways-which is all they are-and
had been taken over into public
hands, as other public highways
are; and if the trusts had been
treated as the outgrowth of special
privileges, such as the tariff and
the monopoly of mineral deposits in
the earth. and those privileges had
been broken down, the evils we
now suffer from the railroads and
the trusts would have been re-
moved The cure would have been
radical, but complete. The trust
and railroad problems would have
ended there.
But instead OF such a cure, regu-
lation was attempted; with a re-
suit that the railroads and trusts
lave waxed in dimensions and pow
er. And the Sherman antitrust act,
while proving of little effect against
them-their lawyers thus far find
ing one way or another to circum-
vent it-has, on the other hand, be-
come a bludgeon in their hands
against organized labor.
At the time when the Sherman
act was being formulated. many
feared that this might be its appli-
cation. Senator George OF MISSISSIPPI
pi was one of such far-sighted per-
sons. He offered an amendment
which the senate accepted and in
corporated into the measure.
This amendment read: This act
shall not be construed to apply to
any arrangements, agreements or
combinations between laborerS
made with a view of lessening the
number of hours of labor or of in
creasing their wages; nor to any ar
rangements, agreements or cOmbi-
nations among persons engaged in
horticulture or agriculture made
with a view of enhancing the price
of agricultural or horticultural
products"
But this George proviso,' as it
was called, was stricken from the
act in the conference committee be-
tween the two houses-that fruit
full birthplace of schemes and
tricks. When objection was raised
by Senator George and others, ex-
x.1. 81
ference committee considered that
the courts might construe the pro-
viso as class legislation. and so in
validate the whole act, while it was
scarcely possible that the act, with
out the proviso, could be stretched
to apply to labor organizations or
farmers.
And so the act was passed with
out the George proviso.
Behold the result! One of its

FIVE DEADLY BLOWS AT LABOR
OR GOVERNMENT BY COURTS
-
THE CRISIS FOR ORGANIZED LABOR

earliest uses was in the interest of
the united railroads at Chicago
against railroad employees and their
leader, Debs, in the great Pullman
strike of 1898!
The federal injunctions issued in
that case gave birth to very cloud
of labor injunctions all over the
country-court orders becoming the
favorite instruments of the great
privileged corporations against la
Dor organizations in times of fric-
ton over wages, hours or other
working conditions.
And now by unanimous dictum of
the federal supreme court, acts JUS
tfiable in individuals, when done
separately, become criminal conspi-
racies in restraint of trade within
the meaning of the Sherman anti
trust act if performed by labor or
CARNATIONS!
Two hundred and fifty hatmakers
and fnishers in Danbury. Conn,
will be the first to feel the weight
of the law so construed. Attempts
will be made to make President
Gompers and his fellow officials of
the Federation of Labor at Wash
ington feel it next: and labor unions
in New Orleans the Piano and Or
gan Workers union in New York
and many unions elsewhere may
follow. for all have collectively
done, and offended in doing, what
the courts concede to be the right
of each person to do individually;
namely, boycotted.
The principle of combining to op-
pose what, as individuals, we have
a legal right TO oppose, runs
throughout our social usages.
But when labor unions, primarily
forced into existence by the neces-
sity of laborers to defend them
selves against the incursions of
Privilege. use this boycott weapon.
they are laid low by it; and this
through the reversal of former
court decisions and a strained in
depreciation of an act passed at the
urging of labor organizations to
curb privileged corporations.
w nat Sdll bt uOllC dpotN ~
Some say amend the act so as to
exempt labor organizations and
farmers from its provisions. But a
court that gave the unanimous Dan
bury halter decision might-prob-
ably would-declare the change to
be class legislation, and so pro
nounce the entire amended act I'M
constitutional!
What, then, IS possible? Aggres-
sive political warfare against the
railroads and trusts. That is what
thousands of trade unionists are
saying as a consequence of these
recent federal decisions. And they
are urging the entrance of trade
unions into politics.
