A Revolutionary Order

Federal Judge Sisk's injunction against labor union in the Plant case has gone much farther than any previous order made in labor dispute If
 should finally sustained it would be destructive of unionism. Not only does it utterly abolish the strike weapon of orgazEzed labor but seeks deprive the organization support by prohibiting the payment of dues by it's members.
 That part of the order as we'll all previous prohibiting interference by strikers with those who may take their places wen orders prohbrr- ing strikes which affect the public. pending efforts at arbitration cannot complained of as contrary to good public policy.
 But the order of Judge Sisk generally is revolu- tionary. reversal of the tendency of the last few years to recognize unionism fact, the right of labor to organize the enjoyment of that right the right to strike and maintain strike by means which are not in conflict with existing laws The right collective bargaining has not only been nized but endorsed by hundreds of employers.
 We believe that if Judge sisks order should be sustained and attempt should be made throughout the country to enforce similar orders revolution would ensue. But it will probably not be sustained. Public policy would be directly opposed to this drastic method of solving the labor problem, it would be to the permission to organized labor to riot.

 Only after they have formally ac- cepted the league suggestions are they supposed to stick to it. unless the coun- ell give consent for alterations.

REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 2 1920
The Aubrey Mules

We suppose that the verdict of the Prescott jury the the Aubrey Investment company against the sovereign state Arizona in which the plaintiff awarded a verdict of some $17,ooo, the balance of payment on a lot of mules sold by the plaintiff to the defendant confirmation of the long esab- lshed theory that the mule is mpershable insti- tuition. proof against of and the in firmities of senility
 The mules in question undoubtedly old, as minimizing given loosely to speaking of age. determined by years. But age is relative Ephemerae become aged in a few minutes hours. Elephants are mddleaged only at 100 years. Man Is old at seventy dog at fifteen and cat at ten
 But a thing which dies cannot properly be said to be aged at any time. It has neither youth middle age nor old age So what matters it that of those mules purchased by the state from the plaintiff were part of the entourage of Governor John N. Goodwin when he entered Arizona to set up a territorial government?
 The verdict in favor of the investment company, does not of course that the mule is not immune against death. Mules have been known to die by violence. But in his prime, may be cut off in the height of bodily vigor Mules may perish of an overdose of oco-weed be brought to the hour and article death by that nl-shaped green insect which turks in the succulent alfalfa But so does bounding youth succumb to over-feedng on immature apples and other underdone fruts-
 The defense could not plead these things It was not claimed by the plaintiff that the mules of which the state became the proprietor might not yield to unnatural death. But plaintiff did not sell the state dead mules-only mules which would never die of natural causes, mules whose strength would not be sapped by the passing years.
 plaintiff generously refrained from claiming additional purchase price (and we have no doubt that the Prescott jury would have allowed it if the claim had been made,) because of the historic value of the nules that sentimental value which attaches to antiques The state could have purchased haps good for general purposes of the vintage of the present century fin de secle mules T of the Nineteenth century The states of Missouri and Texas have thousands of them. But why should Arizona buy modern mules when buy for little money those over whose ears hovers halo cons
 We understand that the defense foolishly pleaded that with the Aubrey Investment company mules it did get a sufficient expectation life The jury properly disregarded that plea. What has expecta- tion of life do with a mule? Besides. certainty of life within the limits of time is better than any expectation life The except for untoward accident is of all time. Did the state want mortgage eternity with the Aubrey mules?
 Tn minor particular. believe the jury erred in taking cognzance of the fact that there were few horses in the consignment sold the state. Horses not only mortal subject decrep- ttude. It appears to that some allowance should have been made by the jury for the those horses.
