Light on the Boycott.

The boycott in both its primary and
secondary aspects had a hearing before
the Civic Federation in New York last
week. Whether any portion of society
had the right TO use its combined pur-
chasing power for its own benefit was
the particular question under discussion.
This was answered in the affirmative
by Frederick ]. Stimson, the Boston
authority on constitutional law, and by
Prof. John B. Clark. Of Columbia Uni
versity. Mr.. Stimson put the case thus:
You have a night TO combine TO get bsttsr wages
from your employer. but you have no night 10 com.

ployer, Or. still more. somebody else. in the belle,

Prof. Clark said. the primary boycott
was something not only to be tolerated.
but TO be encouraged. Il has an economic
effect of value, whether it takes the neg.
ative form Of not buying goods made by
nonunion labor or the positive form of
buying only goods carrying the union
label. But the secondary boycott IS or
a different footing. This forces third
parties 10 join in the controversy 70 their
injury, and is contrary both 20 law and
20 economic justice. Prof. Clark held
that the practical distinction between the
primary and the Secondary boycott is
real and large. The one imposes the
cost Of the boycott upon unionists. the
other upon outsiders by making IL
incouveRient for others than the unionists
to buy tire goods which are made under
conditions that entail smaller costs"

correspondence with Mr.. Taft on the boy
colt. 1t was sought to draw a dividing
line between different forms OF boycott

The Presidents nomination OF George

ton Of the regular organization OF Gran

the national convention, Moses followed
Senator Gallinger IN voting for Fairbanks.
Originally a disciple OF Senator Chandler,
with whose journalistic ventures he be-
came connected, Mr. Moses a few years
ago swung over to the Gallinger organ

spieJ-Sus service IN the several guberna-
tOrial campaigns that have since taken
place. Perhaps. Ike George Horton, who
was made consul at Athens by President
Cleveland and was later sent back there

In the judgment Of the Evening Post,
