Property Rights and Human Rights.

This the great coal operators did not They
did that their property rights, which they
stoutly defended were of the same texture as were
the human rights which they blndly and hotly de-

ercsed of representing their stockholders of the
the power which the union leaders de-
manded of representing the workmen who had demo-

right to ones property will be main

rights life liberty and the pursuit of happiness or,

the chance to secure him as head of the arbitration
commission. l at once wrote him stating that would

There was no such relation between the great rail-

and the 10000 men who worked their mines, or the
10000 women and children who were dependent upon

they sought to enter wage-contract with the great
companies they could make fair only by uniting
into trade unions to bargain collectively. The men
were forced to cooperate to not only their
economic but their simple human rights. They, like
other workmen, were compelled by the very condi-
tons under which they lived to unite in unions of
their industry trade, and these unions bound

WANT THE HOUSE
TO PROBE DA YTON
Do Representatives of Labor on
Charges OF Unfriendliness to
Labor Organizations.

WASHINGTON, April Whether
or not any steps are taken to carry out
the efforts of labor leadere to bring
about the impeachment of Judge A. G.
Dayton, of the United tSates court for
the Northern district of West Vir-
ginia, the representatives OF labor are
seeing to it that Judge Dayton Is
widely advertised as being in their
opinion. at least. unfrien dly to labor.
Following their effort to bring about
his Impeachment by presenting
charges to the president, which they
found out was not the proper course
to pursue, they have now undertaken
to have an investigation of his con-
duct ordered by the House of Repre-
sentatfves. The House judiciary com
mittee, when the charges of the Wheel
ing labor leaders were placed before
it, announced its decision that 1t had
no authority to investigate charges
unless directed to do so by the
House. an dthat it would not ask for
authority to make such an investtga-
ton unless the evidence before 1t was
stronger than that in the charges
against Judge Dayton. In spite-ot this
decision of the committee, the labor
leaders have not given up their attack
on the Judge. They are now apepahng
to Congressman Nicely, member from
the First district, to make motion
in the House directing an inYest1ga-
tion of the judicial conduct of Judge
DAYTON by the House judiciary com
Tnittee. Hundreds of postal card re-
oeusts that he make this motion have
been received by Mr.. Nicely, one da's
man alone bringing in 23S of them.
