There is nothing surprising in the threat
that the four big railroad brotherhoods will go
on strike on January first if the railroad COM
paIies take advantage OF their constitutional
right to appeal to the courts against the So
called eight-hour labor law No rights have any
existence In the eyes of the brotherhood lead
ers except their OVID. and the constitution Is
scrap of paper when it runs counter to their de-
sires. They have hypnotized the president and
terrorized congress with success: is it to be eN-
pected that they will now permit the mere courts
to rob them of the profits of their victorys
But they know that they can neither hypno-
tie nor terrorize the courts. The judges are
not lot of politicians, hungry for votes and
READY to sell out their consciences for re-elec-
ton It is quite useless to employ either calol-
~ or intimidation against the bench. Natural
l. ", the only course is to bludgeon the other
party to the prospective suit into abandoning
his rights and accepting injustice without re
sort to the tribunals which civilization has
erected for his protection.
In truth we have in this threatened action Of
the brotherhoods return to the methods of a
thousand years ago. The rule of the strong
hand is set up instead of the peaceful and or
DERBY process Of litigation. The refusal Of the
gage of legal inquiry, the substitution of the
reversion to the methods of the dark ages as
would be a trial by combat or by the ordeal of
fire With ii the reign of law ceases and the
iron dictation of an oEgarchy sets up.
The new threat shows the futility of the
great surrender made by the politicians to these
men who care for no interest In the country but
their own After all the social political and
moral injury that the country has undergone
we are still confronted with the possibility of
industrial and commercial disaster simply be-
cause one party to a controversy will not sub

Dollar to a brother dollar who had

THE clothing store man pungled
me up along with lot of others.
And he seized the opportunity to show
the young man who was soliciting
something about buying at home. In
lots of towns the merchants haven

THE young man replied that he
had not asked it to donate. Why
not?' asked the clothier, they have
sold several suits here lately so they
ought to give something. If every
body here bought all their clothes
from them you would not have got
that subscription from me today, for
this wouldn't be clothing store but
vacant building, and l would be
working in the city myself or trying
to run a farm.
