What Labor Cannot Do.

What they have not the right to do
is to injure their employers property, tC
lnjure their employers business by use
of threats or methods of physical duress
against those who would work for him
or deal with him or by carrying on what
ls sometimes known as secondary boy
colt against his customers or those with
whom he deals In business. All those
who sympathize with them may unite
to aid them In their struggle. but they
may not. through the instrumentality OF
a threatened or actual boycott compel
third persons against their will and hav-
ing no interest In their controversy to
come to their assistance. These princ'.
pies have for great many years been
settled by the courts OF this country.
Threatened unlawful injuries to bust
ness. like these described above, can only
be adequately remedied by an Injunction
to prevent them. The Jurisdiction of n
court OF equity TO enjoin in such cases
arises from the character of the injury
and the method of inhicting II and the
fact that suit for damages offers no adc-
quate remedy.
1.-THE Injury Is not done by one single
act. which might be adequately compen-
sated for in damages by suit at law,
but II Is the result OF n constantly re-
curing series OF acts. each of which in
itself might not constitute n substantial
injury or make n suit at law worth
while. and all OF which would require q
multiplicity OF suits ut law"

Democratic Plank Discussed.

The suggestion of the Democratic
platform that trusts be ended by for
bidding corporations to hold more than
30 per cent. of the plant in any line OF
manufacture is made without regard to
the possibility of enforcement or the
real evil in trusts. A corporation con-
trolling 10 or 80 per cent. of the products
may by well known methods frequently
effect monopoly and stamp out compe-
ttion In any part of the country as com
pletely. as If it controlled 60 or 70 per cent.

Manuel Estrada Cabrera.

Manuel Estrada Cabrera, president of
the republic of Guatemala, was born
Dec. "a, 1856, and acceded to the rul-
ership in 1898. His election followed
the assassination of President Bar
rios. Cabrera was the first president
of the republic taken from civil life
since 1899, those intervening having
been military chiefs. Cabrera was a
thorough Spaniard and an advanced
liberal. Though he has held office con-
siderably longer than the average term
enjoyed by his predecessors, his rule
has been beset with many troubles.
In 1890 an undue issue of paper mon
ey caused much dissatisfaction among
the people and the result was that
several unsuccessful attempts were
made on the life of President Cabrera.
To the internal troubles of the coun-
try were added serious disputes with
the neighboring republics of Salvador
and Honduras, which a year or more
ago assumed such threatening aspect
that the United States was obliged to
interfere to bring about peace.

George 1, king of Greece, was born
Dec. 25, 1845, the second son of the
late king of Denmark, Christian TX
When the Greeks finally succeeded in
throwing off the Turkish domination
and looked about for "a ruler they
called Prince George of Denmark to
accept the newly created throne of
Greece. He was chosen king in March,
1868, and was crowned in November of
the same year. In 1867 King George
married the Grand Duchess Olga,
daughter of the Russian Grand Duke
Constantine. The rule of King George
has been a successful one and no SOW
ereign in Europe enjoys a greater de-
gree of popularity with his subjects.
King George has six children The
eldest son and heir to the throne is the
Duke of Sparta, who has just passed
his 40th year. King George is a keen
man of business and is reputed to be
very wealthy, though his civil list is
far below that of many other rulers in
Europe.

CALLS 1T AN OUTRAGE.

Paraiso, Canal Zone, Dec. IL, 1908.
Editor, TIMES, Hammond. Ind: In ref
erence to your editorial of Nov. "a
(Which 1 have just reeeived), headed
"A Critical Procedure" I would like
to say, if you Will grant me the space.
that 1 wish some of the people who adj
vocate government ownership of rail-
roads had to live in Panama for a while
where they would have to depend on
the Panama railroad United States
government owned road, for accommo-
dations.
OF course, one does not expect to
find a frst-class railroad in this coun-
try, but, the Panama railroad is forty
seven miles long, and l will wager that
it does more business than any rail-
road tie ntimes its size in the United
States, and the charges of this road are
outrageous. Five cents a mile for first
class fare and you are not allowed TO
check your baggage on a first class
ticket; so, in order to carry your bag
gage with you. you must either have
a government pass or pay express which
is two cents per pound and freight in
like proportion.
Government employees are allowed
one pass a month gratis. and as many
half rates as they may wish, but, as all
people cannot be government employees,
think what it would he to the Ameri-
can people to have all of the roads in
the United States owned by the gov
eminent. The Panama railroad is.
technically. a private corporation, but
all of the stocks, with the exception of
two shares are owned by the United
States. and the roads officials are ap-
pointed. or rather elected, 1 should say,
by the government, and therefore the
road is, think, fair example of what
government ownership would be in the
good old u. S. A.
Yours truly,
RALPH A SCHOFIELD.

Mrs. Howard Gould spent 1924, 900
for pin money" in one year
This fact was revealed in the divorce
suit brought by her husband. She spent
this tremendous sum for dresses,
knickknacks, entertaining, ETC.
Moreover
Mrs. Gould, while making no denial
of the fact that she had expended the
vast sum on her personal wants. con-
tended through her counsel that Mr..
Gould had tried to starve her out of
Gould castle.
Two hundred and twenty-four thou.
sand dollarsl
Note a few figures:
The starvation allowance made by
Mr.. Gould would feed 100, 900 starving
poor for several whole days.
If this sum of 1924, 600 were in silver
dollars it would require 40 husky men
to carry it If each man carried 100
pounds.
That many silver dollars would
weigh seven tons, fair load for six
horses to pull.
According to the census, the average
expense of an American family is
about $500 year. Put $224,OO0 at in
terest at g per cent, and you could per-
manently pension thirteen such fami-
lies.
The census reports put the average
price of farm in this country at
| $4,000. Mrs. Gould's yearly allowance
would buy fifty-six such farms.
Put 1t in the shape of dresses The
average woman would consider sac
the maximum price for dress. Mrs,
| Gould's annual expenditure would pur.
| chase dresses for I, 1856 women.
We'll" you say, ''the money belong
ed to Mrs. Gould. Did she not have
the right to scatter it according to her
personal fancy?''
Legally. yes.
| Morally. no.
Every dollar of that money, in the
last analysis. represents somebody's
toll and sweat, somebody's short din
ners and pinching economies. 1t is
part of the capital of society, the ag
gregated savings of millions.
| Now, for instance
Has this woman the right morally
to spend S224, 900 on her petty caprices
while $1,000 school children In Chicago

The spectacle of such wanton extrav
agance in the face of so much want
