BUSINESS MEN INFLUENCED
TO KEEP OFF MOONEY'S BOND

When Commissioner Presnell COM
mitted Fred J. Mooney for tr' +; at
indianapolis on Saturday last, it was
found that the bond Of $1,000 form
erly given in behalf of Mr.. Mooney
had expired and it was necessary to
give a new bond.
A hurried effort was made to
round up the bondsmen, all of whom
had willingly and without the use
of influence gone on the first bond.
TO the surprise of Mr.. MONEYS
friends some of the bondsmen re-
fused to qualify for the new bond,
not that they lacked confidence in
The accused iron worker, but, so they
declared: business interests had
worked upon them and they could
not afford to run counter to their
wishes.
Now this is a pretty situation. Be-
cause Fred J. Mooney is a working
man, and is member of trade

MRS. PANKHTRST's ACTS
HAVE MANY PARALLELS

Evidently c. s. Mitchell, the versa
tile editor Of the Duluth News
Tribune. and Miss Mary McFadden,
the brilliant writer Of News and
Comment in the same paper, do not
compare notes before publishing
their views on public matters.
On Monday last Mr.. Michel pub
lished red hot editorial strongly
condemning the acts of Mrs. Pank-
hurst, the militant English slf-
fragette who lectured in Duluth re-
Gently, for resorting to the use Of
bricks in promoting the cause Of
woman's suffrage.
In the same issue ''News and Com
ment" printed an apology for Mrs.
Pankhurst and her followers. Miss
McFadden believes the only argu-
ment q Briton will heed is force. and
Miss MeFadden comes from race
that knows every characteristic OF
the English people.
OF course the suffragettes were

DID TAFT NAME THE WRONG JUDGED

;, lnere seems to be some confusion as to the
1aentty OF the Judge Ptney elevated to the United
States supreme bench from the state bench Of New
Jersey by President Taft
=, There are two Judge Pitneys- Judge Pitney, the
elder and Judge Pitney, the appointee
One Of the Judge Pitneys rendered decision
in which he held:
, Any person who works for another is servant
IN the eyes OF the law. Now the relation Of master
ana servant being shown to exist the law is quite
GEAR that no person has the right to entice awav
anotners servant. The right Of the master to have
ms servant continue in his employ without moesta
non or entlcement by any third party is property
r1gnt, so recognized by the law
inns decision, we are told, was made by the
Judges father: If that is the case it is quite an
parent that MIR. Taft appointed the wrong iudee.
FOR precedent bears out the decision

NEW SUPREME COURT JUDGE
HAS BAD INJUNCTION RECORD

Chancellor Mahlon Pitney, ap-
pointed to succeed Justice Harlan on
the supreme court bench, is, no
doubt, satisfactory to special inter-
ests. His injunction record is fully
equal to the one made by President
Taft.
He even went to tho extent of en-
joining strikers and strike sympa-
thizers from peaceably urging others
to strike. In one Of his decisions he
actually declared that third party
w3o tries to induce an employe to
leave the service Of an employer, in
terferes with the property right OF
the employer in the services Of tho
employe.
Perhaps this is what recommended
him to Taft. For the same reason
progressive senators should not allow
his appointment to be confirmed.
Are you one of the fellows who
doesn't agree with you?

A STEP TOO FAR AT LAWRENCE.

1t wasn't because they trampled under foot the
rights OF the people in strike that the city officials
OF Lawrence Mass, are Sin bad'' with the govern
ment officials at Washington, D. G. Treating the
Worklngmen, workingwomen and the children with
contempt has been an everyday occurrence at Law
renee since the beginning of the strike of the textile
workers.
But the injustices got little notice heretofore
because nJustices committed by officials in strikes
are common thing, and the common thing is not
interesting.
But the Lawrence officials, who had been club
blng the strikers unmolested, overreached them
selves and hit Uncle Sam lick!
Then things started!
1t is violation of the interstate commerce laws
to Interfere with interstate traffic. When the Law
renee police prevented famshed mothers from send
ing their children into another state to be cared
for these police interfered with interstate traffic.
1t might have been carpet tacks, pigs or graphic
phones that the police ''interfered" with; it would
have been all the same. It would have been VIOLA
ton OF the law, and when you break a federal law
things 60 pretty hard with you-unless you hap
pen to be trust magnate
1t would seem, however, that, whatever the cause
or nature Of the inquiries proposed it is about
time somebody in authority took hand in affairs
in Lawrence. Men, women and children work in the
textile mills there under conditions frightful to
contemplate. Their wages pitifully Inadequate
They live hudded in groups in shacks
They are not shown the scant Justice that
police laws and antcruelty societies froce upon un-
willing owners Of cattle!

NEW YORK SUPREME COURT
JUDGE ATTACKS ROOSEVELT

we knoW~of no state in the Union
from which might be expected such
an attack upon the views of Colonel
Roosevelt as came from New York
last week when w. o. Howard, as
sociate justice Of the supreme court
of that commonwealth, who in
scathing language and with a select
use OF adject1ves in the superlative
degree, roundly scored the strenuous
colonel for advocating that the peo-
pie have the final say on the consti-
tutionality Of laws held invalid by
the courts.
It was natural for a justice of the
New York supreme court to take ex-
ception to such a proposition as this
No court in America has ruled
against so many popular measure:
as has the New York court. It de-
clared unconstitutional laws designed
to compensate injured employees, and
since that time several states have
held like laws to be good.
1t declared invalid law limiting
the hours Of women laborers,, and
similar laws have since been upheld
by several other state courts, includ-
ing the supreme court of the United
States. 1t totally disregarded a
health measure fixing the hours Of
labor for bakers, holding that such
a law interfered with 1.-THE sacred
right Of contract"
1t is back-number court, getting
It's inspiration from the same atmos-
phere that creates thought in Wall
street, and we know of no other
court In America that is more de-
serving Of the peoples rebuke. Col
onel Roosevelt probably had refer
ence to some Of its decisions in his
Ohio speech.
Judge Lawrence shows his total
respect for popular rule when he
uses this language: Colonel Roose-
welt advocates that all things be de-
cided first by the state courts, then
by the United States>supreme court,
then by the mob.' Will not this be
fine campaign material for the
Roosevelt committee?

the stores and factories Of the large

In the defeat Of the bill.
His speech at Washington was no
doubt delivered at the behest and in
behalf of the great trans-continental
railroads who think they see freight

BRIEF COMMENT
ON CURRENT EVENTS
INVOKE TAYLOR SYSTEM
ON DULUTH NAIL CARRIERS

Does Postmaster Hitchcock intend
to introduce the Taylor Efficiency
System" in the Postal department?
According to a news report the Du-
luth carriers will be obliged to count
the number Of steps they take each
day on their routes. ~.
No one knows just what the post
master general il trying to do, but
1t Is generally believed that he has
a bunch that the Taylor system can
be applied to mail carriers just as
1t is worked in steel mills and else
where.
Now this is likely to happen: A
mail carrier starts from the post Of
flee In the morning and carefully
counts every step he takes. On the
next day Taylor representative will
go over the same route with we'll
measured Footsteps The number of
steps taken and the time consumed
In making them by the carrier and
the Taylor man will then be COM
pared, report will be made, and
the carrier will be told that he must
cover his route in Taylor time and
In accordance with Taylor methods.
After this shall have been tried
for time, speedier Taylor man
will give the route a test, time will be
still further shortened. and the car
rier will be obliged to speed up a
little, just as they. speed up ma
chimes.
Shorter turns around corners, no
zig-zag course, cut cross-lots when
convenient, and a. lot of other rules
will be laid down for the Increasing
of the efficiency OF the Postal de-
partment." Verify, this Taylor meth
cd Is a wonderful system. 1t ought
to be tried on race horses. Indeed
some OF us would not object if it
was applied to the machinery of
Justice, In our courts. But then this
would help rather than exploit the
laborer. and Taylor's profession does
not apply in such cases.
