statutory authority for these unfavorable
court decisions"
Mr., Gompers called to the attention OF
the attorney general the status Of labor
organizations of the country a result
OF the decision in the Danbury hatters
case. telling him that labor here should
be dealt with as fairly as 1t was In Eng
land as a result OF the Taft-Vale decision
against the railroad employees, which
was wiped out by the trades dispute act
passed by parliament in 1906.
THE relations between employer and
employee are personal" said Mr. Com
per9; They cannot be property, rights
until the concept Is held that there is
a vested right by the employer in the
labor Of workmen," He declared that

MIR. Gompers discussed with the attor-
ney general principles OF the Sherman
antitrust law which. in the hatters case
decision by the federal supreme court. he
said, had been given construction never
intended by congress.
