The Labor Contempt Decision.

The decision of the United States SUI
preme court in the labor contempt eases
in more technical than substantial
victory for the American Federation of
Labor leaders. The court does not at
all go into the merits of the iniinc-
tion issued against them by the lower
court. Indeed, it is in effect assumed
by the court that the federation lead
ers, in publishing an unfair" or eve
don't patronize" list to include the COM
planning Bucks Stove company, were
an enjoinable offense; and
il is conceded that in violating the in
junction they were guilty of contempt
of court. The point which turns the
judgment against the lower court is
simply that Imprisonment was not n
proper punishment for the kind OF con-
tempt in question; the offenders should
instead have been fined for the benefit
Of the damaged complainant. But as
the original parties in controversy have
come to an agreement, the whole case
ends here. Mcssrs Gompers
and the others thus escape prison and
also fine, but their claim OF right to
publish unfair lists and the like does
not appear 10 have been vindicated.-

The People Want It.

when it comes time for new plat
form to be built by the dominant party
in Vermont, the people who supported
the last platform would like to have
some of the vital issues which were in
corporated in the last platform but
which were not enacted into laws, re-
Incorporated into the new platform and
made into laws. In short every per-
son who accepts nomination as repre-
sentative or senator to the legislature
next time should honestly declare wheth-
er or no he win support the platform.
This will save many from casting their
votes to the party, with a misleading
propaganda Windsor Journal
And it is not too early to begin to
talk about it, either. The question
comes straight home to us to-day, in
this calm before the excitement of the
approaching political eompaign is upon
US, whether we shall devote our best
energies in 1919 toward giving some good
fellow the governorship to wear in his
buttonhole, or whether we shall in our
several towns and counties, take pains
to select and elect good men and true
who may be depended upon to regard
the pledge Of party that elected them
to office as binding in personal honor as
their own promise TO a neighbor in
horse trade-St. Albans Messenger.

We have long since discovered however.
that all Of the angels are not found
in any one branch Of this industry, and
that the course of wisdom suggests
suspension OF Judgment until both
sides of every story may be heard
From these reports we are constrained
to believe that. too often, manufac-
turers fail to realize the extent of the
trouble, if not actual loss, which re-
suits to the dealer by reason of the
failure to receive shipments at the time
they were promised There are, fire.
quently, circumstances beyond the con-
troll of the manufacturer for which
any retailer would be sensible enough
to make every reasonable allowance
But when promises are made which
cannot be kept, simply to pacify the
dealer, such are no less than deception
and cannot be too strongly condemned.
When manufacturer knows positive
~ that he cannot make deliveries at
given date, it is his duty to candidly
admit it so that his customer may gov
ern himself accordingly Partially fin
