THE PUBLIC FORUM

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE.-The
right to strike is denied to labor by
the supreme court of the United
States. In deciding the AdamsOn
case the court UphoIds the AdamsOn
law, and adds the sting Of a dictum
that also decides that public service
employees necessarily surrender the
right to strike when they engage in
the public service.
Says Justice White: They are
comparable to soldiers in the ranks
who in the presence Of the enemy Of
their country may not desert"
This decision does not materially
alter the. economic conditions that
are day by day grinding out the lives
Of wealth producers between the
upper and the under millstOnes of
ignorance of natural laws and the
pride of wealth, race and station.
The court is logical, but its logic
leads to war and revolution. The
possessors of wealth and the owners
Of the earth possess the power of OPP
preston that makes for poverty, dis
ease, crime, premature death and
bloody revolutions.
In all history these special privi-
Ieges have never been surrendered
except when the oppressed have
united and opposed the force that is
based on right to the force that is
grounded on wrong. The decision of
the supreme court changes nothing.
1t merely grants to contain classes
of labor what protection the Adam
son law may give and declares them
traitors to the nation because they
obtained the passage of it by threats
of force at a time when we are
threatened by a foreign war.
The court is logically right. The
unions have won a bIoodless war
without the loss of a life. But that
does not alter the conditions which
seem to compel labor to resort to

power politically and educationally,
to abolish all laws that create special
privileges. It should work for the
establishment of equal rights for all
the people to the use Of the earth
and its bounties. 1t should fight the
system of ubiquitous taxation that
puts the burden of governments upon
labor and favOrs special privilege
with all sorts of Unearned wealth.
Force is of little avail in the right
ing Of wrong. The education that
enightens the minds of the OPP
pressed is the only sure road to prog
ress and justice. The unions have
opportunities to go the educational
route that no others have. May the
hint given by the supreme court
awaken them, so they will embrace
these Opportunities.-Geo. V. Wells.
POLITICS. Not long ago I was

Of my life. I was one of the Republi-

That American soldiers should
murder American women and babies

The national advisory committee for
aeronautics and the aircraft pr0duc-
ton board Of the council of national
defense have instituted a project for
q permanent exhibit Of aircraft mate
rials of oil kinds, including engine
parts and sections Of planes, to be
established In Washington for the

display will be. made available to all
aircraft manufacturers and kept up
to date as the science develops. 1t Is
expected to be of very material assist
ance to the new aircraft building pro-

manufacturers to become familiar
with the latest developments In the
art.
The latest foreign machines and

The exhibit promises to be Of particu-

trance, and the doctor yielded. Then
Hardwicke turned the key in the lock,
took off his coat, and, almost without
any preliminary, the two men engaged
in fierce fight.
They were fairly equally matched
in physique, but sheer resolution and
fiery wrath gave Hardwicke the vic
tory. and he did not leave his opponent
until the man was beaten to the
ground.
Going then to his own room, Hard
wiclse changed his clothes and re-
moved the most noticeable marks of
the contest. Feeling himself unequal
to meeting Beatrice again that after
noon, he left the hotel, meaning to
walk along an unfrequented path, and
successfully lodging Marion Miller,
who, during the past few days, had
lived in yeritable inferno of her
own creation.
She looked after him with an ex-
preston of baleful hatred, since hell
hath no fury like woman Scorned,
and encountered Doctor Merriam
while in this harpy's mood. He, like
Hardwicke, was by no means anxious
to meet any other resident in the no
tel, but the sight of Miss Miller sug-
gested a ready means of revenge Ig-
noring a stare of surprise at his bat
tered appearance, he drew Marion
aside and forthwith poured into her
eager ear the full story of the nights
doings on the island.
Three months later Mrs. Hardwicke
died and her husband and Beatrice
Tourneur had already come to their
senses. They had met often, both in
the hotel and at the girls home. and
the knowledge was slowly forced on
them that they were unsuited, both in
character and disposition, to the life
long tie of matrimony-
Moreover. another ideal had crept
