JyDISTRIlL INJUNCTTONS ~ NEW
JERSEI

Provcrbial Jersey justice" is getting
on at an impressive pace in the matter
of establishing the rules Of Industrial
rights. There has just been handed
down an elaborate opinion of the Court
OF Errors and Appeals setting forth the
reasons for its decision OF November IL.
1908. in the case of the glass blowers
strike which disturbed the industries of
New Jersey for several years. The judg-
ments expressed in il are positive and
sweeping and it may be that they go a
little further than any previously entnl-
ciatpd in Il similar case There will he
dissent from them. In fact, the court
itself WAS not unanimous in their sup
port. But they will stand as the gu
prone judicial authority of the state. and
they will certainly have much influence
i'm determining the course of future CON
troversies between employers and en-
ployes.
The court holds that as breach of
contract between employer and employe
is Illegal. it is not permissible for Il
third party 10 use either coercion or per-
Suasion 10 bring about such Il breach.
But that principle is not confined 10
cases i'm which Il specific contract exists.
It is equally applicable when there is 10

And while they might. in mild and

OUR IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS
A Suggestion for Their Elimination
Found in Recent News Items.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There are two items i'm the news

comments and warning issued by Andrew

nection with the laxity Of our federal i'm
migration laws and the alien criminal
hordes which are entering this country.
The first Is the report of the Superinten-
dent of State Prisons In New York which
states that "the trend Of foreign criminals

years IS i'm n large measure responsible for
the unparalleled increase Of tho prison pop
ulation of the state. More than - per cent
az the increase H. directly chargeable' to
This cause. and IL is undoubtedly true that
the influence and example of this class OF

other classes mentioned were imprisoned"

KEEPING DOWN THE DEATH RATE


The federal Census Bureau has just
made a provisional estimate of the death
rate for 1910 With complete returns
from few parts of the country lacking
the rate indicated for the entire regis
tration area is II 1000 and the rate
for the registration. states is 14S. There
are eighteen states which keep complete
records of deaths. and in addition, COM

frict of Columbia and seventy-fOur cities
I'm non-registration states the population
OF the registration . being in 1903
bJ.3 ppr cent of the g. rated total pop
ulation Of the United states. Using its
own estimates of population. the Census
bureau found that the denth rate for
1909 in the registration area was IL a
100. But the census Of 1910 showed
that the population Of many OF the
STATES had been underestimate and that
thc real rate for 1909 was only IA.
That WAS the lowest rate ever known in
This country. the rate for 1908 being
1913. for 1907 1914. for 1906 16.1 and for
the five years from 1901 To 1905 10.
The indicated rate for 1910 is therefore
lower than that of any previous year
except 1909.
Evidently the better living conditions
are having their effect on the death rate
I'm this country. The highest mortality
still occurs among children under one
year due chiefly TO prevcntable causes.
Ignorance Of proper methods Of feeding
and caring foi. infants is doubtless chief

ART IN CARTOONS.
Herbert Adams Finds Tribune's Worl
Among the Best in the World.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: ! beg to offer you my hearty con-
CALCULATIONS on your recent cartoons. AS
a citizen Jealous for my countryS stand
ing i'm Journalism and as an artist welcom-
ing every sign of growth in our national
art, I rejoice that a great American news
paper Is daily printing cartoons equal IL
not superior both in intention and express
sion TO the best work now being done
abroad
Mr.. Robinson is too much the artist TO
offer US the merely obvious, the eXtrava-
gantly self-explanatory. The tack-in-the-
chair-seat type of humorous situation does
not appeal to his pencil But alusion such
as that in his clever cartoon THE Judg-
ment OF Paris" with Mr. Murphy as Paris,
is quite within tho reach of most OF us.
Titles like Help Me, Cassius. or | Sink,
"TilI Death Us DO Part and After Teach
ing Him to Eat Peas with Fork may
well serve to back UP the pencils laugh
without laying any unkind strain on the
readers intellect. And the pencils laugh IN
all of these cartoons is human and healthy;
it is ironical but not envenomed.
In word, | regard these drawings AZ
admirable examples Of the modern cartoon
and I heartily thank you for the pleasure
they have given me.

conditions among the poor Will ulu-
mately check this enormous waste OF
life. and an annual death rate reduced
perhaps 10 less than 10 1000 VIII he
enc of the greatest achievements OF
which modern civilization can boast.
1t is encouraging TO find that in con-
gested city like New York the death
rate Is falling steadily and is now only a
little above the rate for the country as a
whole. Between 1881 and 1885 the per
centage of mortality here was 21.o a
1000. Between 1891 and 1895 it was
246. and between 1901 and 1905 $50.
In 1909 il had fallen TO 1862. and in
1910. according 10 figures Just given out
by the Commissioner OF Health. 1t was
only 1898. compared with rate Of ID
for the country at large. The city's
death rate last year was lower than the
rate for New York State, which was
l62-a striking tribute TO the efficiency
Of the crusade here for better air. light,
sanitation and food and the more intell-
gent care Of very young children. There
is great encouragement in that showing
for those who labor so jealousy to I'M
