HerTin s HOnic Verdict
(FrOm the New York Herald }

The verdict of the Coroner's jury
which investigated" the Illinois
coal mine massacre would be re-
garded as a joke II any humor could
attach to the butchery at Herrin. Yet
II is not a surprising verdict. Every
body in the neighborhood seems to
be in sympathy with or in fear OF the
miners union, some of whose mem
bers killed score of helpless
wretches. No voice out there was
raised in condemnation Of the muir
der. not even at the funeral services
when the victims were buried in
coffins marked with the mocking in
scription. AT Rest"
The Coroner's jury. composed in
half Of union miners. held officials
of the mining company responsible
and brought in a verdict of murder
against the mine superintendent,
one of the victims of the
massacre. One witness swore that
Mcdowell shot a union miner. II
he did, that same evidence would
have brought Mcdowell to justice.

The Lining Wage
(From the New York Tribune)

What Is a living wage? No one
has yet defined 1t. 1t is a phrase
much affected by those whose SYM
pathies are tender, but It conveys
no exact meaning. The standard OF
average living varies from decade TO
decade. responding to laws that SYM
pathies cannot repeal. Happily. the
American standard has risen stead
lily during the history of the eoun-
cry But it is never absolute and
cannot be so.
All OF us except a few parasites
are engaged in producing-contrib-
ute in capital or in management or
in labor. The aggregate produced
is divided under a system of dis
tribution which confessedly is faulty,
but Is the best mankind has ever
known. But at any particular time
there is a limit inherent in the fact
that the goods distributed cannot
exceed the total OF goods created.
II the sums of the living wages ask
ed are more than the aggregate Of
current production there is no liv-
ing wage, and no labor board can
improvise one.
The notion has many adherents
that somewhere a Golconda store of
wealth exists and that when rail-
road managers deny wage requests
OF their employees they are merely
hard Of heart. Alas. the idea does
not bear examination! II a fall-off in
living wages has occurred 1t is be-
cause strikes, mismanagement and
other reasons have brought a de-
cline in production. Would we ad-
vance the average living wages?
Then let us work more steadily and
intelligently. Quitting of jobs, doing
nothing, won't lay the foundations
of a living wage.
Jumping on the railroads will not
put more food in ice boxes or
clothes on backs. The railroads, as
enterprises. have been
MIXED dry-so dry that IL railroad
employees get more 1t necessarily
means that other folks will get less.
Social justice requires consideration
Of the rights of all and a cessation
OF the habit of paying bonuses with
out inquiry as to who pays the bill. |

WOMEN AND MEDICINE.

In Europe. years ago, a woman
named Hildegarde wrote a notable

days the men were too busy bother
ing about dogmas of religion and
medicine, and the study of herbs
was thought beneath their notice.
II was the women. however, who
mostly conducted the hospitals and

MUST OBEY LAWS.
From the Minneapolis Journal.


From the Minneapolis Journal.
He who wields power must also
bear responsibility. Possession OF
one involves the burden OF the other.
That is the underlying principle of
the important decision OF the Su-
preme Court, which holds that labor
organizations, even IL unincorpor-
ated, may be prosecuted for restraint
| of interstate commerce under the
Sherman law, and may be sued in
court and held responsible for dam
age to property brought about by
their action.
Labor organizations have acquired
| power, but they have sought by re-
naming unincorporated TO escape
some of the responsibilities for the
use of that power. They have united
great bodies Of workers. created
great reservoirs OF money by the coll
lection OF dues, and developed the
possibilities of collective bargaining
TO the utmost. They have done a
fine and necessary work in bettering
the wages and the labor conditions
of wOrkingmen.
But II is manifestly necessary that
their power should be used fairly
and without oppression. 1t is need
full that when the menace of the
strike becomes a reality, 1t should be
conducted in a lawful and orderly
manner. Violence and disorder, boy
cOtting and sabotage are not only un-
lawful. but destructive OF property
rights. Yet they have often been in
voked without serious danger to their
invokers, because of the belief that
labor organizations were beholden to
nobody. 1t has been supposed that
to recover damages. It was necessary
TO sue their individual members and
to establish individual responsibility.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
brushes way this belief and supposi-
ton. If labor organization gathers
great fund and expends some OF
it in unlawful ways to gain the vic
tory in a strike, IL is suable in court
and amenable to the processes of JUS
tice.
The Danbury hatters' decision Of
IA years ago held the members of a
union individually responsible for the
damages caused by a boycott II had
decreed. In consequence, a clause
was added to the Clayton law, passed
six years later, but this did not Inn
munize labor unions from RESPONSE
bility for unlawful acts. It did con-
firm them in their right to function
and TO seek legitimate objects. But
no law could clothe the unions with
power to do unlawful things, nor
-.
doing unlawful things.
1t is probably not to be expected
that the labor leaders will find this
decision agreeable or praiseworthy.
Most Of them prefer the exercise OF
irresponsible power. But in the end
the true and just cause of labor
ought to gain by the steadying influ-
ence that will come to its leadership
the assumption of full re-
sponsibility for all its acts.

Prostituting Organized Labor
(From the. National Republican)

At the national convention of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Flremen
and Engineers. held at Houston.
Texas, last week, resolutions framed
by the close organization OF Demo-
Gratis and Socialists in charge of the
deliberations of the convention,
were passed. declaring that Warren
G.. Harding. President of the United
States, has shown himself to be
consistent and unrelenting enemy of
organized labor in particular and of
the working classes in general" and
committing the organization to op-
position TO President Harding's re-
election. The editor of the official
magazine was instructed to use the
columns of the paper to attack
President Harding and his admin
istration.

SOME "LIVE" ISSUES.

From the Spencer (W. Va.) Record.
The Democrats are trying to
evade many live issues while dis
cussing dead ones. This statement is
made as comment upon the address
by Mr.. Cox in which the league was
the most prominent subject. The
league is not an appropriate issue
in the coming Congressional cam
paign, for the reason that Congress
men have no vote on that subject
and only about one-third of the
senators are to be chosen. Moreover,
the league is not a live issue today.
II it is desired to settle real issues
by appeals 10 the votes of the
people, there are abundant oppor-
tunitles.
The Republicans are about to
pass a protective tariff law and are
opposed by the Democrats. Make
that an issue.
The Democratic administration
asked that the railroads be con-
tinued in government operation for
five years. and the Republican
congressman refused their assent.
Make that an issue.
The Democratic administration
made recommendations for appro-
priation and the Republican Con-
gress cut $2.5OO, 100000 out of the
estimates. Make that an issue.
The Democratic administration
refused to demobilize after the arm
istice until the Republicans prodded
them into activity. Make that an
issue.
The Democratic administration
dlscredited Liberty bonds as collat-
eral at banks and forced the bonds
out of the banks. with a depressing
effect upon values. The Republican
party has taken a more business
like view of the duties of the gov
ernment toward its securities and
raised the market value of bonds
some IS per cent. Make that an Is
sue.

Says THE Emporia (Kan.) Ga
zette," William Allen White, editor
concerning the threatened railwa
strike:
The boys have a kick COM
ing When they went to work
Tor the Railroad Labor Board
Two years ago they went to
work with the explicit agree
ment that a living wage should
be established upon which ad-
justments OF all disputes should
begin. The living wage was to
be guaranteed to the men at the
bottom of the industry, and for
skill, risk and length of appren-
ticeship higher than living
wages were to be paid.
Now the Railway Board de-
clares that the living wage can
not be paid until profits and re-
habilitation have been secured.
That is to say, railroad labor is
only a commodity like other
labor. IL is to be paid without
respect TO the fact that Il IS
necessary to the life of the ma
tion, and the special guaranty
Of a living wage is to be scrap
ped. That guaranty was
contract.
Perhaps II was an unwise
contract for the Labor Board to
make. But It was a contract
and the men accepted It rather
than strike when they accepted
IT, so America got value receiv-
ed, which was peace for two
years. So now that the con-
tract is to be incontinently
junked the boys have a kick
coming"
Passing over the fact that the
abroad act mentioned other things
besides the living wage" as also
'uiding when wage Adjustments
we're considered. 1t is doubtless true
hat the railway employees sincerely
eel aggrieved. Formidable tables OF
tatistics show that the men will
lot be able under the new wages to
maintain a wife and three children
n the comfort TO which they deem
themselves and their families en-
tiled.

The rank and file of the railway
brotherhood membership is waking
up TO the fact that the Democrats
and Socialists who have forced their
way to the leadership of these or
ganizations, have abandoned the or
iginal and legitimate aims of organ
vert these unions into political blocs
to be delivered at will by these
leaders on election day.
The leaders of the railway broth
erhoods. all Democrats and Social
lists. are using the funds collected
by these organizations as dues for
purposes of partisan political propa-
ganda. Just now they are seeking to
array against the Republican party
and the Harding administration the
rank and file of the railway men OF
the country. large number OF whom
are Republicans and are having
their money, collected for other pur-
poses, taken from them for partisan
propaganda.
The selfish, ambitious leaders
guilty of this perverslon OF unlonism
are running these organizations upon
the rocks. They have declared war
on a political party which at the last
general election cast two-thirds OF
the votes. They have served notice
on the country that mem bership in
one OF these. organizations must
carry with II ahiliation with either
the Socialist or Democratic parties.
This betrayal OF unionism will
soon react upon the heads OF thoss
guilty OF II. It will be resented by
OF thousands Of union men
who decline to be considered dumb
driven cattle under the lash OF auto
cratic machine bosses. II will arouse

LABOR HAS SAME RIGHT.

From the st. Louis Times.
The United Mine Workers Jour
nal tardily makes a good discovery
when it decides that "if labor unions
can be sued they also can sue"
Most assuredly there is no re-
sponsibiity placed upon organized
industry which cannot be borne by
organized business as well-and by
individuals. Nothing can be demand
ed by law in the behavior of an
emplOye toward his duties which is
not required also of the employer
and the employing corporation. And
when 1t comes TO obedience to stat
utes the burden rests as heavily
upon one as the other.
When labor has been wronged by
capital there invariably was redress
in the law. Labor's great mistake
has been in not seeking justice in
the courts instead of depending
upon its own power for vengeance.
or for reprisal. Had industry in
this country. from the very begin
ming OF our republic. taken its every
cause to the courts and there
fought out with all the resources
which il could command its battles
with capital, today's relations of the
two factors in our economic life
would be far better, and each would
occupy a stronger and happier posi-
ton than has resulted from the see
saving efforts at throttling each
other by means outside law.
The labor union, the Supreme
Court OF the United States declares.
can be sued. That means as fully
that labor can sue. 1t has its sure
defense in the courts and its as GER
tain weapon for aggressive under
