Mr.. TAFT and AGITATORS.

"A body of workmen are dissatis-
fed with the terms OF their employ
ment. They seek to compel their
employer to come to their terms by
striking. They may legally do so.
The loss and inconvenience he suf-
fers he cannot complain of.
But when they seek to compel
third persons who have no quarrel
with their employer to withdraw
from all association with him by
threats that unless such third per-
sons do so the workmen will infict
similar injury on such third per.
sons, the combination is oppressive,
involves duress, and if injury re-
suits, it is actionable.
1T is true that the result Of the
rule is that an act is actionable or
not as the intent with which it is
done varies. This is not frequent
in civil injuries, but it is not un-
known. William Howard Taft.

Commission met here today In the office
of President B. B. Johnson, of the
American League, to discuss tentative
schedules and plans for the worlds
championship series between the win
ners of the pennants in the National
and American Leagues.
In making up the tentative schedules
for the series, four clubs were consid-
ered-Pitsburg and Chicago, in the
National League, and Detroit and
Philadelphia, in the American. The
schedules were drawn up, but the right
one only will be announced, and that
after the winner in each league Is
determined.
The question of a successor to
President John A. Heydler, OF the Ma
tional League, in handling the worlds
series, was also considered. When
Harry Pulliam was president of the
league Heydler and Robert Mercy, Sec
rotary of the American League, took
charge of the business details Of the
series. Secretary Charles G. Williams.
of the Chicago Nationals. will probably
succeed Heydler in that capacity.
