Back to Law and Order

< large issue is involved in JUS
tice Fawcett's decision granting an
injunction in the trucking strike.
Both labor unions and steamship
lines are restrained from refusing to
transport open-shop lumber. In the
broadest terms the decision con-
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:
"Whilc a man may enter any 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
tluggery 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 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 easy-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
one else has right to be footpad.
The sooner unions are put back to
this basis of obeying the law the
better for labor and for every one.

Horses Are High
g Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The communication of Edward
S. Field on "The Run of Horse
Prices" which appeared in your COL
umns of May 20, is q confession of his
lack Of knowledge of horsefesh. To the
inexperienced, two horses standing side
by side may seem equally meritorious,
but horseman~ may value one at $25
and the other at $780, 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 the last few years have
learned by costly experience that horses
furnish the most efficient, economical
and reliable power for all short haul

Ingenious correspondents in Chi

Of "secret wire" connecting Sena-

wouldn't be in accord with moving

Books

If our knowledge Of the British Ian
guage were little more thorough we
would be able to tell whether Richard
Kurt, hero of the novel of the same
name by Stephen Hudson (Knopf), is a
beastly bounder or bally rotter. We
have suspicion that he is both, with
some of the earmarks of a plain, ordi-
nary saphead.
Mr.. Hudson's novel is concerned
purely with character exposition and
not at all with development. 1t hardly
seems possible that the sort Of people
he draws are capable of any develop
ment whatever.
The book deals with the waster class
OF European society that drifts from
Biarritz to Switzerland, to Brussels, to
Paris, supported by remittances from
home or good fortune at the gaming
tables.

impressive and most Of the people un-
interesting, with one stirring excep-

For a Bold Labor Plank

To the Editor of The Tribune
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 ali
public utilities between capital and
labor?
The politicians should not fear labor
too much. 1t polls small minority OF

The First Republican Convention

Te the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the edition of your paper
which appeared to-day, June 8, on the
second page, second column, under the
heading Lincoln Nominated" there is
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 1865, and General John C.
Fremont was nominated as the Repub

The Solid South
A Plea for a Republican Con
ference on the Negro
To The Editor of The Tribune

10 The Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The frequent mention Of Re-
publican efforts aimed at the breaking
of the so-called "solid South" together
with the quadrennial interest which
the pre-convention contests are wont
to excite, justifies more definite policy
on the part of the Republican party
than heretofore. For the thinking
voters in America now readily realize
how utterly aimless is the policy Of
Southern reduction In the national
convention as regards the removal Of
the ground of grievance
Inasmuch as the question Of racial
supremacy is apparently uppermost,
the unparalleled migration Of negroes
to the Northern and Western states
should offer to the South welcoms
opportunity for more natural express
sane, thinking man familiar with ths
can be no denial that in the long run
the civil and political status of the
negro must be uniform throughout tina
land; and the sooner the truth Of this
fact is recognized by the leadets Of
both races the sooner may we all ap4
proach the consideration of this vexed
question with any determination of ul5
innate justice.
-Whiteism," therefore, which
first made its appearance IN Republi.
can politics during the incumbency OF
Mr.. Taft, is not policy the sanity
and soundness Of which will appeal 70
thoughtful minds. And the Republic
can party cannot consistently yield to
it without perjuring the lofty political
principles which gave 1t birth.
Those who are earnestly striving "a
secure better understanding between
tho races are not helped by anything
which looks like encouragement OF
racial feeling. Besides, the great iht
terests of the Republican party the
country over are unjustly prejudleea
by the disproportionate interest whica
these contests excite. Whereas NJ
