LAWS roK OTHER PEOPLE.

New York Times: Washington dis
patches report tho introduction of a
hill by Representative Byrncs Of Ten
nessec exemp,ins fariners and lahorers
from the sherman anti-trus, law, II
is hard To say how often this eNelnp-
tion has been attempted. but it is sure
that IL will he NECESSARY 10 oppose il
as often as it is brought forward. The
proposal to exempt anybody from any
law is an unfailins sign either that
the law or the exemption is wrong.
Any law which canine he applied uni
versally is unworthy the name Of law.
Specifically, it would be interesting
10 know why farmers Ii laborers
should be allowed 10 conspire in re-
straint of trade any more than any,
body else. So long as their conspir-
acies are for benevolent. fraternnl OH
:iects there is no danger Of the law
being applied under the lish, of rea-
son. But when night riders. boycott
tiers. dynamiters. rcstrainers of the
production Of produce, n rings to
raise the price of agricultural products
have the assurance to ask congress TO
legalize their injurious acts the time
has come to call Il halt and To ask
them to obey the laws they make for
others.
We have gone toe far along a bad
road when proposals to make laws Of
partial application are made without
shame and are logrolled through legis-
iatures. Farmers and laborers have
not been so moderate in their cXactions
from consumers Of what they sell that
those who suffer from the cost of liv-
ing can afford further indulgence. The
Way to live clleaply is not to pay more
than a fair price. and legislation for
the promotion of extortion is obnox-
louis To the general interest. even to
the true interes' Of those asking ex.
cnption from the law.

1t is to Pc hoped that the threaten
cd strike Of 10000 firemen on the
eastern railroads will not matcrializc.
1t is difficult for the general public
to understand the various demands
made by the men. their reasons for
them. and the reasons agains. them
advanced by the roads. One demand
is for TWO tirc!nen instead of one on
all engines Of more than a certain
weight. The roads conceje that in
many cases Il second fireman is needed.
but that they maintain that the matter
should not he determined by the
weight of the engine. as there are
many heavy engines where the condi-
tions of traffic are su> that one man
can perform the work as we'll as on
any other engine. and in such cases
the weight rule would result in un-
equal conditions among the men. They
say that each case should be decided
on its own merits. This and other
questions in dispute they say they are
ready to submit 70 n board of impartial
nroltratorS. Inc hrcmen nave rejected
all propositions to arhitrate, and have
authorized the calling Of a strike.
This docs 10, mean that there will in
evitably be 4 strike. Negotiations will
be continued. and it is hoped that an
amicable settlement may he reached.
But the vote of the men will make
possible a strike without further no.
tice when. in the judgment Of the
committee. that course is advisable. If
the strike is called it will mean tho
infection of great hardship on the gen.
eral public. because the work on m
$1,000 miles Of road will be disorgan-
ICED. The roads will undertake to
operate their trains without the strik-
ing men, and the raw material will be
there for a great deal Of unpleasant.

Perhaps the members of the Rookie
Teller family are themselves t. blame
for the cynical attitude of the public
toward William Rockefeller in the cf-
fort made On his behalf I o avoid being
called as a witness before the Pujo
committee on the ground Of illness.
The elder Rockefeller has had a hor-
ror Of courts and investigations. and
has given process servers no end of
trouble to find him when he was
wanted. 1t was natural to suppose
that the assertions Of illness in the
case of William Rockefeller were mere
subterfuges to keep him of the Wit
ness stand. There l. no reason now
TO doubt that. the ma is i'll, and in
a critical condition. He is an old
man, n not to be supposed to be
very robust. But the evasive tactics
employed by all the family in conner-
ton with matters of this kind have
created a firm belief that the whole
claim Of .illncss is q bluff, and It is not
likely that anything short Of death
will change this belief.

When the Mcnamara confessions
we're made public some attempts were
made to justify the ynamiters on the
ground that they were engaged in a
made to justify the dynanaiters on the
condition of the labosing man. and
that it was necessary to use violent
measures in order to enable the work
ing men to get their rights. Most peo-
pie saw through the s~hallowness of
such arguments. n took the position
that men who would deliberately conf
NIT acts of violence as those acts had
been committed. we're enemies Of So
ciety, meriting severe punishment.
and men who ought to be restrained
of their liberty for the safety Of So
ciety. Similar arguments were again
made whee the rest of the dynaniung
crew were on trial at Indianapolis.
and with similar effect on the mass Of
the people throughout the country.
And yet there are a few people who
denounced %dynamiting Of buildings
and bridges as a measure to be taken
in a labor war. who attempt to justify.
the much more generally destructive
tactics employed by the militant suf-
fragettes' in England by the use Of
exactly the n arguments that We're
used in defence of the dynamiters. We
are told by the defenders of the law
less ono who are engaged in this
campaign of terrorism that women
should have votes. and that it is prop
or for them to destroy property. risk
life and disorganize society in order
to force recognition Of their political
rights. The two sets of offenscs are
Of similar character. and the same
arguments apply to them.

The thirty thousand f1remen on east
ern railroads who have voted To au-
thorize the calling Of a strike in the
event of failure to secure an amicable
adjustment of their differences with
the arrangements have offered to have
the case arbitrated under the provis-
ions of the Erdman act. The railroad
managers reply that they are willing
to arbtirate, but they object to the
method provided in that act. They say
that the Erdman act provides for an
arbitration which is practically ar
bitratfon by u single man. and they as
scrt that the matters involved in the
present controversy r too important
to be decided in that manner. They
