of the Judgment of society" as Presi-
dent Wilson contended, there was no
cXcus" Whatever for refusing to make
the law apply to all railway employees,
hut Mr. Wilson had been persuaded
that only the brothcrhoods could de-
liver their vote solidly on election
day, and that, therefore, it was folly
to try to do anything for the less well
organized railway employees. AS
things have turned out, however, It is
not improbable that the employees not
included will have occasion to be
grateful. Present prospects are that
the brotherlioods will have to urge

Democratic efforts to injure Mr..
Hughes in the eyes OF labor have
served only to strengthen the Repub-

brought out the fact that. while Gov

commission ever created to study the
problem OF industrial accidents. This
was the Wainwright Commission. of
which John Mitchell was member.
Gov. Hughes, who had made the in
surance companies clean house and
do justice to the widows and orphans,

doctrine" was being effectively used
