The decision in this case, which ts
known as Loewe VS.. Lawlor, declared
that the damages in the case were $780,
600, which, under the provisions OF the
Sherman antitrust act were tnPled, and
together with the costs of the case and
the interest, made q total sum OF over
$500, 900, which the Danbury Hatters
must pay d. E. Loewe and company.
Mr.. Charles Evans Hughes was JUS

The last decision in this case, altho
it is brief, reaffirms all that the court
declared in their 1909 opinion.
There is another opinion of the Unit

Justice Hughes, which throws light upon
is of fundamental Importance to the
workers of the country. It is his opin-
ion in the case of Truax vs.. Raich, a
case which involved the constitutionality
of the Arizona anti-alien law. Under
that law all employees of Arizona VINO
employed more than five workers were
forbidden to employ less than 80 per
cent who were qualified electors or na-

In that decision Justice Hughes took the
position that the injunctive process ap-
piled to personal relations.
Justice Hughes on that occasion and
in that decision made more definite his
endorsement of the theory that injunc-
tions apply to personal relations
Mr. Hughes has taken an unequivocal
position. He indorses the abuse of the
writ of injunction against which wage
earners have vigorously protested, and
which they have tried 10 correct by rem

orator and one day he was called to the
country home of an eccentric man. faith
er of large and interesting family of
daughters.
One of the daughters acted as his
guide thru the house that he might give
an estimate for redecoration. His at
tention was caught by a motto, framed
and prominently displayed over the door
of the room of each girl, which read:
Learn to say 'yes.'"
Would you mind" asked the young
man, telling me what that motto
means?"
"Oh," explained the young woman,
with blush, that's one Of fathers

Ambulance lawyers" are going to be

their dependents from needless financial
loss thru inscriptions lawyers, the COM
mission has ruled that in no case, except
where a question Of law 10 involved,
should an attorney be allowed fees in the
settlement of compensation claims under
the law.
Instances have been found by the COM
mission where certain lawyers, by mis-
representing law and facts to those en-
titled by injuries to compensation, have
obtained large fees from clients where
their services were entirely unnecessary.
Under the law attorneys are limited to
Is per cent of the claim, the measure
being designed particularly to protect the
working man and woman against un-
scrupulous lawyers- Now, even this Is
per cent fee is denied the lawyers, ex-
cept where they can show that their
services were necessary.

names for various forms of government.
A government by one, they called "a

The Bricklayers and Masons Official
Journal presents this logical conclusion:
"If good government were possible thru
the medium of law. the United States,
individually and collectively, would have
reached the millennium, for the reason
that we have been passing laws to fit
every kind and sort of condition. Good
government does not come that way.
Every reform in history has come up
from the people, not down thru law
making power to the people. The future
of this country rests with the great
common people-the every day man who
never gets into the newspapers but who
does his days work and raises his fam
lily and lives his life. He is the man
who is the court of last resort. His
ideals are growing higher every year.
And as he raises his standard so the
standards of tho state are raised, for he
is the state"

Labor That Upihs

Much is heard, in the pulpit and pub
lie print, OF the moral advancement of
the human race.
When all is said, the credit for such
Advancement must 60 to labor.
The kind of labor that makes for hu-
man progress is not the sort that has no
association with education. Labor be-
comes uplifting in proportion to the
education that is behind it. Labor that
can appeal to the educated mind is the
greatest pleasure in the world. 1t light
ems the hours, besides commanding the
highest wage. It enlists all the resources
of mind and hand: The sins that in:
evitably follow idleness cannot retard
the progress of people whose work Is
illumined by education.
Herodotus tells of the tremendous Ia.
bors of the Egyptians who built the
pyramids. Such work was without the
inspiration of education. Consequently
the oldest pyramid carries a message of
less import than the newest skyscraper
whose cunningly wrought framework
tells of work of the brain as well as of
the hand.
1t was not until education and labor
formed their mighty partnership that
men thought of dedicating a holiday to
work. AS the science of the textbook
and the laboratory enters more and more
into everyday work, labor's holiday will
grow in significance. Labor Day will
become more and more the outward ex-
preston of mans pride in his work.
Woman will claim a growing interest in
the holiday-not only as the teacher
who carries youth to the doors of the
laboratory and the workshop, but as a
co-worker with the master workman at
desk and bench
Take the influence of the schools of
America out of labor Day and this in
spring holiday would become a mean
ingless thing. The Labor Day parade
would be robbed of the spontaneity that
is now its chief appeal. It is education
alone that has made possible the long
lines of thinking, planning freemen, de-
lighting in their work bcause they are
making each day more interesting
study than the day before.
If Herodotus. who wrote of the labors
of the pyramid builders, could only write
Il chapter on the modern workmen who
glorify education, history's most import
ant contribution would be made-Labor
Day Editorial in Denver Times.
