The Legal View of Strikes.
When considering the legal aspects
Of strikes, say Commons and Andrews,
Joint authors of principles of Labor
Legislation" just published by Harper
E. Brothers, it is "when we pass from
the abstract theories of the courts to
their practical conclusions that diver
sity OF statement is encountered. In
part this is due to real differences in
the conclusions reached. In different
states the rights of organized labor
differ widely. Even in the same state
II is often quite impossible TO recon-
ellie the several decisions. Dissenting
opinions are very common. The confu-
sion which exists, however, is due not
only TO real differences as TO the law,
but also 10 the use Of common terms
in divergent meanings. Neither the
term strike nor the term boycott has
a standard meaning in law Some
courts speak Of the strike as involv-
ing only the collective quitting Of
work; others include within that term
not only the collective quitting, but
also the agreement which precedes H..
Even this conception is too narrow. To
it must be added the idea that the
quitting is but temporary, that the
strikers do not consider that they have
permanently quit, but that they expect
10 be employed again on different
terms, through coercion Of their en-
ployers."
Industrial Arbitration
Under this title Carl II. Mote has
written and the Bobbs Merrill Com
pany has published, a useful book for
ready reference on a timely subject.
1t deals with all phases Of the cues

ton, trade agreements, and includes in
its scope not only the experiments

differences between employers and la
Dor, but also the measures introduced

WASHINGTON is
WATCHING THE
MEXICO MURDER

Washington, Jan. 11.-Consular dis
patches to the state department from the
border tonight told Of reports reaching
there that III American mining men had
been taken from a train and killed by
former Villa soldiers near chihuahua.
Mexico. Secretary Lansing. who was at
tending the cabinet dinner at the White
House, kept in touch with the develop
ment throughout the evening and brought
the reports to the attention of the Pres
ident.
Representatives Of the United States
In Mexico and along the border were in
structed to investigate and rush any in
formation available to Washington.
If the reports are true, and on ac-
count of the circumstantial stories
they tell, officials fear they are, urgent
representations probably will be sent to
Gen. Carranza at once demanding that
he hunt down the murderers and take
steps to prevent the preparation of
such crimes In the future. Such a
tragedy, it is pointed out, would DEM
onstrate that so far as Americans and
oher foreigners and heir property are
concerned. the situation is worse in
stead Of better since the main body
Of the Villa forces surrendered to the
defacto government.

"Progressivism has won great
victory. 1t has gripped the minds of

delibly impressed upon every forward

have exercised a most wholesome in

All candidates and all parties now
vehemently protest they are progress
sive and progressivism thus has part
ly done it's work.
Another telegram to which the COM
mitteemen listened was from Charles

said:
Welfare and security of the coun-

ITO accomplish that, we ought to
put the responsibility up to the Re-
publican leaders. l am for a third
ticket rather than for reactionary
or second rate candidate. My regards"
Every state in the Union with the
exception of Arizona and Mississippi

NEARLY $4,000 IN
HAND FOR THE
AERIAL PATROL

Portland, Me-, Jan. 11.-Nearly $4,000
has been raised up to this afternoon
for the Aerial Coast Patrol Station in
Casco Bay. The amount would have
been decidedly larger, but for the fact
that there were so many bank meet
ings today, over half Of those who vol
unteered to solicit subscriptions were
unable to be present. Reports on to-
days work were made at a dinner at
the Falmouth Hotel this noon, and ev-
eryone present was enthusiastic over
the project. 1t was the unanimous eX-
preston of opinion that the PROPOSE
ton must be carried through to a sue
cessful termination, that the honor Of
the city and Of the Chamber Of Com

that the project was one Of the best
for Portland that had been put up to
it, and that as an advertising medium
for Portland and for Maine, 1t had
been the most successful ever carried
out in this vicinity.
One Of the important points in the
erection Of this station, which the pub
lie has not seemed to appreciate, ac-

the many things that might develop
from the establishment of the station.

the Republican convention is respon-
sible to the patriotic spirit that
brought the Republican party into be-
ing and that made it dominant for
half a century, if it meet this crisis IN
the spirit Of broad patriotism that
rises above partisanship. the effort for
q common leadership will BE success
full.
AS. a result when the conventions
Of the two parties adjourn, the spirit
of confidence and victory for the lead
er thus selected and the principles to
which he is committed will in itself
go far for insuring victory in Novem-
Der. Should the effort fail. the respon-
sibility for the result will not rest on
the Progressive National convention
or on the 100000 voters who sup
ported Progressive candidates in 1912.
"They, when called upon again to
do so will as firmly refuse to surren-
der to party machines. The respon-
sibility will rest on other shoulders
than ours and this will be so appar-
ent to the voters as to result In VIC
tory for the National Progressive
party in next falls election. In this
turning point in world history we will
not stick on details. We will lay aside
craftsmanship and prejudices.i But we
will never surrender those principles
fer which we stand and have stood.
We will follow only q leader who we
