Cleveland, and already he has grown
ashamed Of Reno'S divorce nOtOriety and
has caused il 10 be known that he will
endeayor TO have his state enact Il
stricter divorce law. This seems 70 10
the result of the Governors learning at
first hand what the rest of the country
thinks Of his state capitals chief indus

the greater intercourse Of Governors with

The movement toward uniformity OF
state laws has one powerful influence
behind It in addition TO the reasons that

of the country tends 10 break down the
eccentricitieS Of states. The good i'm q

The public opinion Of the entire country

amounts to a national scandal, like the
divorce mills OF Reno. Governor eddie

rRrTy or LABOR LAWLESSNESS.

FPTTT or LABOR L4WLESSNESS.
The pleas of guilty entered by the
Mcnamara brothers, one Ia the murders
in the blowing up of the Los Angeles
Times" Building and the other to the
SUBSEQUENT dynamitng of the LleWeilyn
Iron Works, in Los Angeles, bring nome
the discrcdit of these crimes, and Win
ont doubt Of series of similar ones
to the labor unions. BY this The IT'D
une does not mean TO say that any union
as a whole or even any large number oil
IFS members were cOgniZant of the dyha-
hitting outrageS. In the very nature oil
the case il was necessary 10 CONNIE the
knowledge of these crimes TO few per
sons. The safety Of their individual
necks required that precautiOn. But the
crimes were committed by members OF
a union. one of them a union oincer.
They were conceived to be in the inter
eStS of the unions. and were the natu-
rol and inevitable fruit of the unionistS
uolicv Of tolerating if not secretly en-
couraging the resort To lawless violence
10 accomplish their ends. 1t was I'M
nossiblc for union leaders to go on for
years winking at the breaking of non
union laborerS' heads and the wanton
destruction of property in strikes With
out fomenting that murderouS spirit
which entered into the heart Of John j.
Mcnamara when. as secretary OF the
Structural Iron Workers, he sent forth
his paid dynamiterS. The contempt oi
life which vas bred through the union
leaders never lifting their hands to re-
strain their followers from violence was
sure to lead to such crimes as those to
which the McNamaras have pleaded
guilty.
1t is to he hoped that the result will
open the eyes of Gompers and his associ-
ates to the damnable folly Of their
course toward lawlessness and violence.
Had the union leaders set their faces
firmly against personal assaults and the
destruction of property; had they made
their position plain by cooperating with
the authorities in bringing to justice any
of their followers who in his misguided
zeal resOrted to violence, McNamaraism
would never have developed to bring
organized labor in this country to the
discredit in which it lies to-day.
And the case Of organized labor is all
the worse for the lack of sense and de-
cency which Gompers and his associates
displayed when the McNamaras were ar
rested for the offences to which they
have just pleaded guilty. BY his utter
ances then GOmpers did his utmost TO
make The cause Of the accused dyna-
miters the cause of the labor unions
themselves. He pronounced the case
against the McNamaras a conspiracy of
capital. and left himself and organized
labor without means of retreat from
such q catastrophe as this which has
Just befaIlen them. His thunders were
calculated to inspire any murderOus
unionist Ike the McNamaras with
confidence that If he used dynamite al
the resources of organized labor in this
country would be employed in his be
half. Thus he lent encouragement TO
violence. He may now see the fruit Of
that policy long pursued and fatuouSly
adhered TO- even in the face Of what was
plainly impending at Los Angeles
