SENATOR JONES MAKES AMENDS.

II was with some surprise that
friends of Senator Jones. of Washing
ton, read his bitter attack on the
President in the Senate in discussing
the free canal tolls question. in the
course of which he claimed that the
tolls repeal was the price to be paid
as result of negotiating with Great
Britain for non-interference by for
eign powers in Mexico. and for Eng!
lands defense OF the Monroe doctrine.
At the time this speech was made the
lntelligencer remarked that 1t was
sorry TO see the Senator's IMAGINATION
cloud his usually clear Judgment on
public matters. and it now appears
that that was just what he allowed his
imaginative powers to do.
But the true manliness Of Senator
Jones character shines out in the
amends he made 20 the Senate the
day following an interview with the
President on the subject in which he
was shown where he was in error.
His excuse was that he gained his in
formation from a newspaper OF Demo
cratic faith. but of bitter opposition 10
any Difference paid to England.
We can appreciate Senator Jones
warmth in opposing the repeal OF free
canal tolls. as his Washington con-
stituency is almost a unit in favor OF
the free tolls clause. but even that
should not have provoked him into a
statement that England was even re-
motely necessary for the preservation
Of the Monroe doctrine in all its integ.
rity. The United States has so far
been able to enforce the spirit OF that
doctrine. and is still competent to
take care OF II.

THE ULSTER CRISIS.

The suppressed anger OF the Ulster
ties. which has been smoldering for
some time over the compromise
measure OF the British government in.
jected into the Irish Home Rule bill.
seems TO have reached the breaking
point, judging from the threats OF
armed resistance by the Unionist
leaders and the action of the govern
ment in sending troops to the affected
Ulster counties. The crisis was pre-.
cipitated on Thursday night on Sir
Edward Carson's dramatic exit from
Parliament while a rancorous debate
ON the situation was in progress. The
possibility of armed rebellion in u
ster has the added color OF probability
in the significant comments of the
London Telegraph on the Ulster
leaders sudden departure for Belfast.
which says: Unless all omens are
false. blood viii be split in Ulster be-

SO. will miss a fine opportunity of

playground in some section of the

There are several such persons able
to do this in aid OF the extension

moved to action by this appeal.
AS has been explained before, the
present financial condition of the
city prohibits it from extending any
more aid than it has in furthering
the plans of the Association. which
throws the support of this enterprise
on the generosity of the public and,
as Wheeling has never before failed in

ADMINISTRATION aro eoYco11s.

The administration has declared rs
position on labor boyeotts through an
opinion OF Attorney General Mercy
nolds rendered with reference to evil
dence taken before the Federal grand
jury on complaints made against the
Allied Printing Trades Council Of
New York. where they eoncertedly re-
fused to do work on a book. part OF
which was being printed In a non
union shop. The opinion in this case
Is interesting in showing the attitude
OF the government on different forms
OF boycotting. In this case the
Attorney General practically absolves
the printing trade unions from al
Legged violations OF the sherman law
In every instance. excepting one In
this one exception II is found that
the Eiectrotypers' Union made a di-
rect threat OF reprisal in circulars
sent to affiliated organizations in
other States. against those who had
work done by a non-union shop In
and in restraint of trade.
The Interpretation of the law Is
general and applies directly TO all
labor unions. who are absolved from
violation OF the law where the mem
bers. OF such unions concertedly re-
fuse to work upon a product of a shop
which employs non-union workmen.
Again the Attorney General declares
that It Is not a violation of the trust
statute. so far as the Government Is
concerned. where unions circularize
customers OF open shops" character
izing such shops as unfair" and at
tempting to deter them from patron
izing non-union concerns. This ac-
ton. says Mr.. McReynolds. consti-
tutes threats of kind more like that
OF political action" than of a secon.
dairy commercial boycott.
This declaration. however. is quail
Ned by the Attorney General. TO this
effect. that il would be a violation of
the law for Unions to approach book
sellers with threats not to buy books
from them IL they carry in stock
books published by non-union printers.
These distinctions are important and
bear with equal force on the related
trades and their unions. their liability
and non-liability under the provisions
OF the Sherman antitrust act.
