Manufacturers is not opposed to or
ganizations of labor as such, but it
is unalterably opposed to boycotts,
black lists and other illegal acts of
interference with the personal lib
erty of employer or employe.
"3. No person should be refused
employment or in any way discIm-
mated against on account of men,
bership or non-membership in any
labor organization" etc.
There is substantial and we'll
grounded public opinion that courts
of last resort, and particularly the
federal courts, are too eager to null
lily remedial and regulatory legisla-
tion enacted by state legislatures un-
der their police power in the interest
of the public peace, safety, life, limb,
health and morals. The law is not a
mummy nor a straight jacket. 1t is
presumably live, elastic thing, ad-
justing itself to the changed and
changing conditions of our social, po-
litical, industrial and commercial
life. 1t must of necessity, therefore,
be a growth, an evolution, keeping
pace with the advancement of our
twentieth century civilization.
This attitude of our courts toward
the legislative exercise of police
power by the states, in matters that
are purely state affairs, has caused
a substantial loss of public confidence
in court that is too patent to be de-
MED. While courts are unanimous in
holding that such statutes should not
be declared unconstitutional unless
there is an "obvious repugnance" be-
tween the statute and the constitu-
tiOn, or unless the statute is uncon-
stitutional beyond all reasonable
doubt" yet an analysis of too many
decisions of our courts would seem to
indicate that the statute was declared
unconstitutional, not upon such clear
conflict, but upon some whim, caprice,
prejudice or prediction of the court
rather than by sound reason or the
laws of logic.
The decision in the Coppage case is
peculiarly unfortunate, not only be-
cause it nullifies the Kansas statute
and the Ohio statute, but in a large
number of other states similar
statutes that have been in force for
years are also nullified
Millions of workingmen and work
ing women, and even working chill
dren, not only those who are now
members of some labor organization,
local, state or national, but those
who may hereafter desire to become
such, are all most intimately, seri-
ously and prejudicially affected by
this decision.
In the hope that the law made by
the supreme court of the United
States in this case may not become
the fixed and settled policy of our
courts, but that the same may in due
course be reversed and labor be given
its equal rights with capital, this dis
senting opinion is respectfully SUBJ
mitted
1t would be impossible to endorse
too favorably the very able dissenting
opinions of Justices Day, Holmes and
Hughes.

Silver Starts to
The Melting Pot
Large Amount Sent to Assay
Office To~Be Converted
Into Bars


Transfer of 2500o,OOO of the 90,-
100000 of silver dollars stored in the
vaults of the Sub-Treasury to the
melting pots of the Assay Office next
door began yesterday. From now on
the machinery of the local plant will
be operated twenty-four hours day,
converting the coin into bar silver.
This represents a portion Of the $780,
100000 silver dollars that are to be
melted down in several government
plants throughout the country in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
silver legislation enacted by Congress
at the request of the Treasury Depart
ment.
The first of the silver dollars to be
converted into bullion were shovelled
into the melting pots early yesterday
afternoon, and it is expected that dun
ing the course of the next few weeks
the crucibles will be kept red-hot turn
ing coin into bar silver. Superinten-
dent Bowie said yesterday that 1T is
estimated that the Assay Office can
about 100000 silver dollars a day.
At the same time, the normal activities
in the way of melting and refining
metal will be continued. The plant is
being used on an increasing scale IN
melting and refining the platinum that
has been commandeered by the govern
ment.
Whether the whole 90,0Oo,0oo of sill
YER dollars held in the Sub-Treasury
vaults will be melted down is no,
known at the local Offices, the present
programme calling for handling only
25,ooo,ooo of the total: Officials of the
Assay Office admit that the task of
melting down the coin presents serious
difficulties owing to the limited equip
ment of the local plant and the short
age of labor Greater operations, it is
stated, will be undertaken at the Phila-
delphia and Denver mints, where the
facilities are much greater.
The Pittman silver bill. which be-
came law this week, provides for the
withdrawal from the Treasury of $780,
100000 silver dollars, to be melted
into bullion to meet foreign trade bal
ances The silver to be used repre-
sents metal that has heretofore been
! held on deposit with governmental
I agencies against silver certificate
circulation. The silver thus with
drawn and melted down must be re-
stored through the purchase of metal
in the open market at 81 an ounce
Federal Reserve banknotes will be sub
stituted for the silver certificates with
drawn from circulation.
