LABOR'S RIGHTS
Defended by Judge of the
United States Circuit
Court.

Judge Francis e. Baker, of the
United States Circuit Court, deliv-
cred an address before the Chicago
Bar Association last Saturday that
is we'll worthy of study. He had a
message not only for the members
of the bar. but for employers and
employees. Judge Bakers address
was delivered at banquet given in
honor of Judge Julian Mack, who
was recently appointed appointed AS
sociate Justice of the Commerce
Court. Judge Baker discussed the
rights of capital and labor and said
in part:
Without the aid OF statute the
courts have long since become agreed
that workmen have the lawful right
to organize for the purpose OF secur-
ing Improvement in the terms and
conditions of labor and to Quit. work
and to threaten to quit work as
means of compelling or attempting
to compel employers to accede TO
their demands. The capitalist as
serts his right to an unobstructed
access to the labor market so as TO
get his work done and thus free him
self from the demands of his OPP
ponents. The workmen assert their
right to an unobstructed access to
the labor market so as TO keep 9TH
ers out of their places. The SYM
pathetic strike. like the spite fence.
must be suffered by the employer
without complaint. Therefore per-
suasion and picketing in order to
learn who the new employees are to
whom to present their cause are
lawful, and all judgments to the
contrary are wrong, | believe. One
set OF rules should govern the
actions OF both contestants. II the
sympathetic strike is foul blow the
sympathetic lockout is equally foul
II the boycott is held TO be an at.
tack in the rear under the circum.
stances blacklist is an attack in
the rear.

First of Big Ones.
Memphis was the first southern city
having a population in excess of 1OO,-
600 to adopt a modern commission
charter. 1t is, however, not the first
experience OF the city with commission
government Shortly after the Civil
war the affairs Of the city became so
involved under a socalled "carpetbag'
regime that bankruptcy followed The
city was thereupon dissolved by the
legislature and special taxing district
was created in its place This district
was governed for a number OF years
under. the commission system, but af-
ter the community was rehabflitated
and placed upon a firm basis, the an
Gent aldermanic system was restored.
In response to a popular cry for gov
eminent by the people" This system
obtained, with occasional variations,
until the present plan was adopted.
There is, as a matter of course. a
wide difference between the commits
sion system of today and that which
obtained in Memphis many years go.
The early commission was appoIntive,
ard the people had absolutely no voice
In the management of affairs The
commission OF today is elective and the
people retain the right to discharge
the members If they fail or refuse to
conduct the affairs of their office to
