ital engaged in railroads, and in
a somewhat less degree that en-
gagged in other public utilities IS
held by the Courts and by the law
making power to be charged with
a public use" In all these cases
the interests Of the capitalists are
subordinated to those of the public.
But no such doctrine has been held
regarding the labor involved. That
is free to combine, free to fix it's
own charges, and-free to put the
public to incalculable expense and
loss if the corporations do not
grant all demands made upon them
"There is undoubtedly growing
feeling in the community that if the
capital engaged in public utilities is
enlarged with public USE" Some
restraints upon the labor engaged
in the same is iustifiable in the IN
terest of the community. This
feeling is reflected in the section of
the pending railroad bill making
striks on railroads unlawful"

the forces which have now array

the organization of tobacco pro-

"There is reason to believe that

placed squarely upon the defensive.
The same element that waged and
wou the war against liquor is now
organizing for battle against to-
bacco in all its forms, and while it
seems, off hand. that these people
