UPHoLDs THE BOYCOTT.
Fiuht to Withdraw Patronage Cannot Be
EnjoIned. Says Mitchell.
r
"The fight must continue to uphold
the boycott" said John Mitchell in a
recent interview In New York. mot
United labor bulletin., 1910-01-07

because the laboring men have any
particular love for the boycott he add
ed Indeed, they have no more
love for the boycott than for the strike.
Both are extreme measures of defense
forced upon the wage earners by unjust
conditions. The workers fully realize
that the boycott and the strike are means
to be used to maintain their rights and
promote their welfare when seriously
threatened by hostile, greedy and unfair
employers when no other remedy seems
available. 1t is not the strike or the
boycott itself which matters so much as
the recognition of the lawful right to en-
ploy either or both when necessary.
with the boycott cleared OF wrong
full charges and misrepresentation and
recognized as a lawful right we will find
its use diminished. 1t will be a power
held in reserve and used only when no
other remedy is adequate.
Even if we had been guilty of unlaw-
full conspiracy and coercion and intimid-
ation-which we were not-surely there
should be some more adequate punish
ment than by process of injunction. In
fact, existing laws do not provide greater
punishments for these offenses, and l
submit that if we are guilty of them we
should be tried by due process of law be-
fore a jury of our peers and, if found
guilty punished as the law provides
rather than be subjected to the caprice
of a Judge who solely determines the
sufficiency of the charges, the guilt of
the defendant and who imposes punish
ment as his whim may prompt"
Reverting to the boycott as means
of remedyng wrongs, Mr.. Mitchell said:
I'VE have always held, and we still hold,
that laborers or other citizens have the
right 10 withhold or to bestow their pat
ronage as they choose; that they have
the right to advise friends and sym
pathizers of this action and of the rea-
sons thereof. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that in the case of the workers the
unfair attitude of the dealer in question
has always been the reason for the with
drawal of patronage.
''It has been made clear that he re-
fused to pay the standard rate of wages
and to agree to other equitable condi-
tions which the workers seek through
organizations, and hence the withdrawal
of patronage. The boycotts declared by
other citizens have sometimes been
placed for other reasons, and they can
safely be left to a defense of their own
actions
1.-The boycott is by no means a weapon
used by workers alone. 1t is one Of
those inalienable rights which are at
times used by all people The right to
wilnhold or withdraw patronage is one
of those things which can neither be en-
Joined, forbidden nor punished. Upon us,
however, the attempt has been made by
tne courts to have the boycott declared
unlawful and a conspiracy and hence
subject to a judicial decree and punish
ment.'

AN UNIQUE SETTLEMENT.
(By NJ. Grant Hamilton.)

(By NJ. Grant Hamilton.)
Some years ago the Kansas City South
ern Railway company, through subsidi'
airy corporation, purchased large tract
of land at Mena, Ark, plating into lots,
and established a division point and
shops. 1t became incumbent upon the
employees of the railway company to pur-
chase these lots and construct homes for
themselves. AS a result approximately
800 men are the owners or partial own
ers of homes in Mena.
few months ago the company de-
cided to change the location of its divi-
sion points and also decided to move its
shops. This plan if consummated,
meant an almost total loss of the prop
erty owned by its employees, provided
some plan was not inaugurated to pro-
tect them. Mena is dependent entirely
upon the railroad for its maintenance,
and with the changes noted above carried
out virtual abandonment will follow.
Fortunately, all of the employees are
members OF their respective organiza-
tions, and the national officials have just
consummated an unique settlement Rep
resentatives of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Carmen, B. r. T., Engineers, Fire
men and Conductors have just concluded
negotiations with President Edison of the
railway company, whereby all employees
of the company owning property at Mena
are to be reimbursed and the property
decided to the company.
The owners of the property are to re-
ceive the actual cost of it. The appraise-
ment has already been made, which is
satisfactory to all concerned. contract
has also been signed by the interested
parties, in which the exact amount to be
received by each property holder is stip-
ulated Fully s223,OOO is involved in the
transaction.
NJ. F. Ryan, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Carmen, just recently
elected to that Office was the central
figure in the adjustment, and presages
his ability to successfully conduct the
affairs of that organization.
This is the first instance which has
been given publicity where railroad
company has treated its servants in such
an equitable manner in occurrences of
this character.
1t also speaks emphatically of what or
sanization can accomplish.
