NOT NEW PRINCIPLE.
I would hesitate to recommend, al

| would hesitate to recommend, and
III dare say the congress would hest
tate to act upon the suggestion should
l make it, that any man In any &C.
cupation should be obliged by law to
continue in an employment which he
desired to leave. To pass law which
forbade or prevented the individual
workman to leave his work before re-
ceivinglthe approval of society in do.
ing so would be to adopt new prin-
ciple into our Jurisprudence which l
take it for granted we are not pre-
pared to introduce. But the proposal
that the operation of the railways OF
the country shall not be stopped or in.
terrupted by the concerted action OF
organized bodies of men until public
Investigation shall have been insti-
tuted which shall make the whole
question at issue plain for the judg-
ment of the opinion of the nation is
not to propose any such principle. II
lis based upon the very different prin-
ciple that the concerted action of pow
erful bodies of men shall not be per.
mitted to stop the industrial processes
of the nation at any rate before the
nation shall have an opportunity to ac-
quaint itself with the merits of the
case as between employe and employ
err time to form its, opinion upon an
impartial statement of the merits. and
opportunity to consider all practicable
means of Cancellation or arbitration.
I can see nothing in that proposition
but the justifable safeguarding by
society of the necessary processes of
its very life. There is nothing arbi-
trary or unjust in it unless it be arbi-
trarily and unjustly done. 1t can and
! should be done with full and scrup-
ulous regard for the interests and lib.
critics of all concerned as well as for
the permanent interests of society it,
self.
