In the Progress Toward Class Distinc-
tions In This Country.
Detroit Free Press: 1t is good news
that President Wilson has fatty re-
jected the demands of Samuel Com
pers and his associates that pending
trust legislation be amended to suit
their views. While there will still be
some surprise in old-fashioned minds
that the exexecutive branch of the
government should be deciding what
the legislative branch shall do or not
do, 1t is none the less welcome that
limit has at last been reached to the
subservience of the administration to
the men who undertake to dictate Or
ders in the name of labor.
How far domination by this special
class can go is being evidenced just
now in the dispatches from the Colo
RADIO coal fields, where a gang of law
defying rioters are reported to be de-
manding as condition of their sub.
mission to the authority of the govern
ment of the United States that the
mines In which they worked shall be
closed pending the adjustment of wage
disputes.
This demand involves the extreme
step that the non-union men who are
working in the mines shall be stopped
from earning their livelihood in the
vocation they have adopted. Ordi.
narily the supposition is that these
strikes involve only differences be-
tween the owners on one side and the
employees on the other side, but it is
lust this shOrt-sighted view of such
conflicts that leads to a misconception
of their fundamental difficulties. 1t Is
the non-union worker, the man unwill-
ing to unite with labor organizations,
who complicates the situation in our
own copper country.
Is he to be coerced into doing some

ployers 1t would still be open to criti-
cism, but when 1t stands for coercion
OF personal liberty of workers them
selves 1t is fairly astounding in a gov.
ernment that is based upon the prin.
ciple of equal rights to all.
That halt has been called in the
progress toward class distinctions and
exemuting of a privileged section Of
the people from the operations of the
laws is decidedly good news. The
president will find abundant support
If he will stick sturdily to the position
now attributed to him. The principle
must be made clear that men may join
unions or keep out Of unions. as each
one prefers, but that they shall stand
alike before the law, whether they are
in or out of the unions.

And then, IL riot should come

little posse and tend to the situation.
That, in effect. is the way Colonel

Regiment, and the other officers feel
about the apathy or even active an

men and employers have shown in

without help, but also In the face Of
