veloped enough leadership to unite
the party on the controlling issue Of
the campaign.
Back to Law and Order

A large Issue Is involved In JUS
tice Fawcett's decision granting ar
injunction in the trucking strike.
Both labor unions and steamship
lines are restrained from refusing to
transport open-shop lumber. In the
broadcast terms the decision on
dennis the attempt of the trucking
unions to effect a boycott Of OPEN
shop goods and brands as an illegal
conspiracy the whole combination
against the plaintiff lumber COM
pany. OF the right to strike Justice
Fawcett says:
while a man may enter n voca-
ton he chooses, yet If he selects a
field indissolubly linked with the
rights of the public, such as a COM
mon carrier, he must subserve his
own rights to that Of the public well
fare"
It Is good to be thus reminded Of
old common law, which Is nothing
more than common morality in such
cases-the crystallized principles Of
fair dealing through many centuries.
Too quickly does each generation
rush into new legislation without
exhausting the old remedies avail
able.
There are two such points in the
current transportation war that is
tying up the trade Of the port. One
is this question of illegal boycott
which Justice Fawcett now raises in
clear and vigorous form. The other
is the question Of violence, of plain
thuggery in the interest of the radi-
cal unions. Violence and threats of
violence have alone made the strike
successful. The moment order is
restored and men can work at NOV
ing goods without being blackjacked
the strike will collapse.
There has been too long a ten
dency to condone such bald illegali-
ties by labor unions. When labor
was regarded as the under dog it
was felt by many lenient observers
that a strike should not be too
strictly held within the law. The
viciousness of this e%asy-going disre,
gard of the law is now made plain
when the unions have gained a
power to dictate life and death to
communities.
Let us then first get back to plain
law and order. A union has no
more right to boycott illegally than
any one else has. A union has no
more right to beat up scabs than any
n else has a right to be a footpad.
The sooner unions are put back to
this basis of obeying the law the
better for labor and for every one.

Ingenious correspondents In Chi
cago have discovered the existence
of a "secret wire" connecting Sena-
tor Penrose's sickroom in Phila-
delphia with Chicago. Of course, it
wouldn't be in accord with moving
picture traditions for a politician of
Mr.. Penrose's mysterious potency to
use a plain, ordinary telegraph wire.
But the correspondents would give
US a real piece Of news If they should
discover a "secret wire" connecting
the White House with Senator

OF course, in Congress it was pre-

pass the Senate until the Republicans
gained a majority in 1919. What
these suffragists can mean by hold

Perhaps the March Hare might
prove from these figures that the
Democratic party has done its duty
and the Republican party has failed
miserably, but we can think Of no
one else who could. We suggest that
the National Woman's party retain
this distinguished expert in nonsense

Horses Are High
the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The communication Of Edward
S. Field on 1.-THE Run of Horse
Prices" which appeared in your COL
umns of May 20, is a confession of his
lack of knowledge Of horseflesh. To the
inexperienced, two horses standing side
by side may seem equally meritorious,
but a horseman may value one at $25
and the other at $3.50. A man must
know horses before undertaking to make
any comments on their value. Good
horses and mules are selling high and
are in good demand. Men who have
tried to handle city transportation with
out them in tho last few years have
learned by costly experience that horses
furnish the most efficient, economical
and reliable power for all short haul
traffic. WAYNE DINSMORE,

To the Editor of The Tribune. 4
Sir: Mr.. Lodge should have touched
upon the labor question, which is the
chief trouble in our body polite at
present. Why not come out boldly and
declare for compulsory arbitration on all
public utilities between capital and
labor?
The politicians should not fear labor
too much. 1t polls a small minority of
votes and sooner or later labor must
yield to public veal.

The First Republican Convention

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the edition Of your paper
which appeared to-day, Juno 8. on the
second page, second column, under the
heading Lincoln Nominated" there is
a slight error. Your correspondent
states that at the first Republican Ma
tional Convention, held sixty years ago,
Abraham Lincoln was nominated. The
first Republican National Convention
was held in 1855, and General John C.
Fremont was nominated as the Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency.

than heretofore. For the thinking

how utterly aimless is the policy Of
Southern reduction in the natlons
convention as regards the removal u
the ground of grievance.

Hardly anybody at the convention,
the reports say, knew the second stanza
of the Battle Hymn of the Republic"
We doubt whether most persons know
the first stanza. For it is not, fine poem
though it be, a we'll written poem as to
singability. The quantities, the arrange
ment of vowels and c%onsonants and the
accents are often bad. "Terrible swift
sword" is too much of a mouthful.
