The public has n right to demand

Labor Agltators and Law.

The demand of the turbulent element
in union labor that troops should he
barred by law from UNFOLDING the civil
authorities in disorders growing out
of strikes is quite characteristic OF
that distortion of reason which aims
TO put unionism above the law. to
license as labor activities deeds which
would bring heavy penalties If commit
ted by citizens outside the organza-
lions. II Is not surprising THAT in the
same paragraph of the report presented
To the American Federation of Labor
ut Philadelphia which would dsarm
the courts and peace officers there is
an angry protest against the right ex-
orcsed by mining companies and other
large employers to protect their own
property with armed guards.
Naturally the same document extols
the parts of the Clayton act which
make unionizcd workers privileged
class, immune from prosecution for
acts made criminal when plain ordinary
citizens are guilty of them. There Is a
distinctive spirit grown up in the labor
organizations which affects all their
ideas and relations and determines
their opinions on every question and
their relation 10 every public man. The
spirit is that of class supremacy. Every
thing Is measured and tested by its eff
feet on labor interests. If II promotes
and pampers the labor caste IL is ex-
cellent; II 1t does not obviously hamper
or delimit laborism it is tolerahle: II
1t tends in any way to place the worker
on the same plane of competition as
other men or to curb his sweet will in
any way 1t is anathema.
Perhaps in asserting the position tha
