Law For Strikers.
Three Reasons for Furnishing As.
saults on Workers.

To THE New YORK HERALD: What
impels me especially to write this ap-
peal for justice is having observed that
a number of milk strikers manhandled
a driver of a milk wagon almost to the
point Of death and that they were sem
fenced in one of our courts to but fifteen
days in the workhouse. Now there are
three strong reasons for condemning SO
inadequate a sentence for such seri-
Gus offence.
First. 1t was impossible to foresee how
long this strike would last therefore
the malefactors might be free to resume
their deviltry when released. The addi-
tion OF ito be confined until the strike
ends" to the sentence would have obvl-
ated this objection.
Secondly. interfering with a mans lib
erty to work for decent wages is a far
too serious offence to be so slightly
is endangered. Several years confine-
ment at hard labor would seem proper
sentence In a like case and would prove
a strong deterrent to it's repetition.
Thirdly. unlawful interference with a
mans liberty in his lawful pursuit Is
directly opposed to the Constitution of
the United States. and we expose our
selves to ridicule and even contempt by
tolerating or lightly considering seri-
Gus offences against law and order. as
appears with few good exceptions to
be the custom at the present time. r.
