ONE MANS OPINIONS

The CIaflin Failure. There's an
other side to the story of the failure
of the big Claim N. Y. drygoods
house. We read in the papers about
the $30,000,000 or $40, 900, 900 failure,
of the stores all over the country that
were involved, of the many banks that
held Claf1in paper, ETC..
Here's the other side of the story:
At least 1,4OO employees had pur-
chased stock in the Claflin concern.
The company had sold shares to them
on the instalment, employees paying
something each week out of their
wages. One estimate is that employees
had about 100000 invested. They
have been promised their money
back, but they are worrying.
The workers also contributed to
various funds, conducted by the COM
pany. 1t is reported that the money
in the vacation fund will be returned,
by court order, to about $50 girls.
There were also sick funds and old
age funds-al handled by the big
company that failed.
This money, taken from the hard
earned wages of employees, ought to
be paid back in full before one penny
is paid to those who had only prop
erty rights in the assets of the Claf1in
company. The money should not be
treated as part of the assets of the
company. 1t belonged to the employees
who were induced to put it in the
hands of the management.

Shocked and Unshocked.-F Former
Chief Judge Edgar M. Cullen of the
New York court of appeals, stand
patter, remarks thus:
Unless 1 am utterly mistaken,
there is now a strong tendency in
courts, in Legislatures and, worst of
all, in the people themselves, to dis
regard the most fundamental prin-
ciples of personal rights. Judicial de-
cisions are made, statutes are enact
ed and doctrines are publicly advo-
Gated which, when 1 was young,
would have shocked our people to the
last degree"
There have been great improve
ments since the judge was young,
due, mostly, to the monopolization of
personal rights by the five per cent
of our people. When Judge Cullen
was young corporations had some re-
spect for the law and personal rights
