W|CKERSHAM TAKES
SIDES WITH LABOR
Former Attorney General Holds
Clayton Law LegaIlzes Right
Of Boycott. =.

American Federation of Labor Of
ficials are greatly pleased over an
Interpretation placed on the labor pro-
visions Of the Clayton law by Former
Attorney General George w. Wicker
sham.
Mr.. wickersham holds that the Clay
ton law reverses the principles OF the
decision in the Danbury hatters' case.
Coming from a lawyer Of his standing
and in view Of the assertions in some
quarters that the Clayton law has
accomplished nothing for labor. the
Federation deems the views Of the for
mer Attorney General as Of much mo-
ment. His opinion is being widely
distributed by tho Federation.
In brief, Mr.. wickersham holds that
tho Clayton law legalizes tho boycott.
-,.. Takes Labor's Side. ...
It Is significant. in the opinion of
President Gompers and other leaders
of organized labor, that. though Mr..
Wickersham Is not in sympathy with
their ideas as to what should be the
law, he agrees with them as to. what
the Clayton law means.
The opinion Of Mr.. Wickersham Is
ist and in other official publications
of the Federation. 1t originally ap-
peared in the Alumni Register of the
University of Pennsylvania.
"The ex-Attorney Generals refer
ence to President Gompers indicates
his views Of organized labor" says
the Federationist, 'and emphasizes
the declaration of this trained lawyer
that the American Federation Of La.
Dor won the worlds greatest legisla
tive victory when Congress declared
that: The labor of a human being 1,
not a commodity or article Of com
merce.'"
Handed Gold Brick.
1t was widely insisted in and ou
of Congress when the Clayton law wa
passed that. with reference to IT.
! labor provisions, labor had been hand
| ed a gold brick.
This Is clearly not the opinion o
the man who as Attorney General Ii
| the Taft Cabinet came to be known n
| one of the ablest heads the Depart
ment Of Justice has had in years.

JUDGMENTS FEWER,
BETTER TIMES SEEN
County Clerk Reports 3,46l New
Corporations, An Increase
of 241 Over 1914.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Reasoning from
the fact that judgments filed are fewer
in number than in the corresponding
period of 1914. w. F. Schneider, county
clerk. says business is better. In the
first six months of 1915. there were 1877
fewer Judgments filed than in the first
six months of the preceding year. ac-
cording to the clerks report.
This means that business has become
more stable" says Schneider. IF bust
ness men are not making as much
money as they did year ago, 1t Is
apparent they are not indulging in VEN
lures that would lead to judgments
against them"
During the same period, 3,461 new
business corporations went on file. an
Increase Of 241 over the corresponding
half of 1914.
New suits begun. the majority of them
for alimony, numbered lS.46o. or forty
more than in the first six months Of
last year.
