Are the President and "The SUM-
In Agreement Regarding the
Clayton Act?

MIR. WILLIAM LEAvITTs SToDDARD,
writing In one Of the magazines. makes
himself personally responsible for
this statement about MIR. WILSON'S
opinion of the Clayton act:
without going into the details Of tho
provision in question It may be enough
to say that the President himself has
declared that the clause which on its
face exempts labor from prosecution un.
der the Sherman trust law does Mot
really exempt. do not know II Mr.
WILSON has stated this opinion publicly,
but I heard him state It to a group Of
Newspaper men. and ! believe that there
10 . stenosraphic report Of what wal
uttered on that occasion"
II such Is the Presidents view, his
opinion Of the Clayton law comedies
nearly with that which THE Sun has
expressed. The act which became n
law by President WILSON'S signature
Is very generally assumed to license
labor organizations and the Individual
members thereof to conspire In the
name Of labor to any extent In re.
straint Of trade. We do not believe
that It has any such effect.
We do not believe that the Su.
preme Court would hold that u stat.
ute which exempts labor unions and
their members from the penalties for
combining or conspiring in restraint
Of trade while lawfully carrying out
the legitimate objects thereon con,
stitutes a warrant for thrOttling the
commerce Of q nation or threatening
the lives Of thousands Of their fellow
citizens.
We do not believe that the Supreme
Court would under any circumstances
hold that these wholesale c%Onspiracles
Of frightfulness are lawful enter.
prises for labor unions to undertake
or that such conspiracies are included
among the legitimate objects Of these
benevolent institutions.
According to Mr.. SroDDARD's very
interesting statement Mr.. WILSON
agrees with The SUN in the belief
that the Clayton act Is no barrier to
the Federal prosecution, under the
Sherman law, Of conspiracies of labor
In restraint Of trade; In other words
that he knew he vas giving a gold
brick to organized labor when hi
signed the Clayton act.
II Mr.. WILSON entertains the view
Of the Clayton acts supposed exemlp
ton which Mr.. SToDDARD says he has
expressed to at least one group OF
newspaper men, this question will
naturally be asked by those who dc
not quite understand the mental and
moral makeup Of the President:
"Why, then, did he not proceed tt
test the Clayton act by institutini
through the Department Of Justice q
prosecution Of the labor conspIrators
instead Of surrendering with hand.
up to their impudent and threatening
demands and persuading a cOwardly
Congress to do the same thing?"
This, we say, will be a natural
question on the part Of those who dc
not really understand the President
Those who do understand his moral
texture will waste no time In asking
that question.

strong that he drove part Of the barrel
of his gun, with the bayonet, into one

his gun. then saw this Scot reach
down and pick up the Germans weap-

that Germany requires just as much as

only question of time before she be-
