activities OF workers seeking to pro-
mote their individual rights by collec-
tive action.

hensive about this species of legisla-
tion. Experience has made us so''
The American judiciary, Mr.. Comp

not shown as much understanding of
the rights of workers as legislative
and executive branches of the govern

tees inquiry into charges placed be-
fore it that the coal trade in and around

the alleged combination. E. NJ VAN

testified that prices and supply in the
capital were controlled by an associa-
tion of dealers
Mr.. Ritter testified today that low
