Making Good for Civilization

The Grand Jury Of Williamson
county, Illinois, the scene Of tn,
atrocity commonly known as the Her
rim massacre, has already returned q
number Of Indictments against indi.
viduals charged with completely II
that crime. Other indictments arr
expected.
These indictments are the result,
of hard, conscientious, intelligent
work done by EDWARD J. BRUNDAGE
the Attorney General Of Illinois, who
when the local officials showed ,
disposition to neglect their duty II
the premises undertook the investi
cation Of the massacre and the prose
cution Of leaders Of the mob. OF hi
task he says: =.
II have had many years OF ex-
perience in handling prosecutions.
and It has been my invariable rule
not to announce each piecenneal OF
evidence gathered until Grand
Jury first considered IL.
Williamson county Is devoted al
most exclusively TO mining, and
nearly all OF the population are iden-
titled with the miners union.
I'm such a field 1t has been ex-
tremely dificuit to gather evidence.
but have now accumulated q great
mass OF facts which I shall submit
to a Grand Jury next week. and I
! have hope that a large number OF
indictments will be returned by that
| body.
"You. may inform the Merchants
Association Of New York that we are
fully cognizant OF the enormity Of
the crime and are taking every action
that can be taken to bring the guilty
persons to the bar OF Justice"
As its text shows, this messag
was written in response to an in
Quiry originating with the Merchant
Association OF New York city. Al
torney-General BRUNDAGE has bee
Obliged to obtain evidence and
procure indictments in communit
openly and boastfully in sympath
with the lawbreakers. That he ha
done so constitutes success Of n
small dimensions. The adverse fac
tors Mr.. BRUNDAGE had to overcom,
and still faces, In the performance o
his duty are succinctly set forth 4
his letter.

One or the scandals of the cit,
Department of Public Markets hal
at last found It's way into court. Thi
is the practice OF collecting 81 weel
from each pushcart peddler and ap
plying the receipts to "administra
tion" instead OF turning them init
the city treasury. In granting al
injunction to stop this evil Justice
CRoPsEY OF the Brooklyn Suprem,
Court epitomizes the history Of tn,
scandal strongly and clearly.
upon the papers presented in THE
case II Is admitted that the adninis-
tration OF the Department Of Public
Markets under the present city adj !.
sninistration has been. so far as the
matters complained Of are concerned.
lawless.
"rhe statute authorizes the Com
missioner OF that department to issue
permits to pushcart peddlers to stand
on certain public streets and to
charge therefor fee not exceeding
81 week for each vehicle claws
1924. Chapter s53). The fact that
such fees have been collected is not
the basis OF this complaint. The
charge here Ii founded upon the as
sertion that not one penny of the
large sums collected has ever found
it's way into the city treasury.
THE Charter clearly and unmis-
takably provides that all fees received
bv any public officer shall be the
p-~perty or the city and that no
officer except city marshals shall re-
ceve to his own use any fees COL
lected. All sums received as fees
from any source shall be paid over
weekly without deduction by the
officers or department receiving them
to the Chamberlain (Section 1850.
Charter).' And any officer OF the
city or person employed In It's SER
vice who shall willfully violate the
foregoing provisions or who know
ingly permits other persons to do so
is guilty of crime tSection 1551)."
The collection OF these peddlert
fees, which amount to about 5000, 0O
a year. is intended. as Justice CRopsE,
says, ito be a source OF public prom
and not Of private plumber" AS h
adds that "the lawlessness displayed
in this matter has not been exceeded
since the days OF TWEED it woult
seem that it is about time for tn,
District Attorneys Of the countie
concerned to get busy.

One Anti Trust Law.
II Would Permit No Combinations In
Restraint Of Trade.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: There Is
one question that confronts lis as a
nation: Shall the majority rule?
IL Is automatic that the whole IL greater
than any Of It's parts. Upon this I'M
questioned principle our system OF gov
eminent was founded.
The Government has practically been
defled by a minority. and against a re-
currencc OF this danger Congress- the
representative OF the people. must make
provision.
The Sherman antitrust law Is a whole
some but partial effort to check mi
nority rule and has been effective. The
law was aimed at capital to prevent a
combination in restraint of trade. When
combination of labor unions causes a
restraint of trade II is clearly an equal
offense with such a combination OF capt.
tai and should be outlawed likewise.
Let us mark every evil combination as
q conspiracy. e. d. AUSTIN.

Labor Day ID commonly taken to
mark the end OF the summer vaca-
ton season. Many New Workers will
remain for a month or more longer
I'm their homes in the country, but
for practical purposes another sum-
mer is ended.
1t Is no more possible this fall
than 1t has been at the close OF
previous seasons to say definitely
what the latest tendencies OF Ameri-
can summer life are among those
who are able TO follow their own in
clinations. We long ago became less
of a nation OF hotel jewellers in the
summer than we had been. With in
creased prosperity, the privilege Of
enjoying home life in the country is
available to more families. Thus 1t
has come about that every rural re-
gion about the large cities abounds
In beautiful homes. American archi-
tects have distinguished themselves
in this field almost beyond any OF
their colleagues OF other lands. Our
designers Of country homes regard
the English as their only rivals.
But there have been inexpIicable
manifestations In our summer life in
the last two years. Possibly during
the season which has just come to
an end these have been most marked.
One hears of historic summer city
in which homes sell for fraction OF
their value. In another famous sum-
mer town the casino closed for lack
or patronage at what should be the
height OF the season. From villa
city further north there comes the
news that forty-five. well known
houses stood unrented throughout the
year. From one or two resorts on
Long Island come reports of an un-
brecedentedly successful year. OF one
lake town real estate agents report
that there is not villa In the place
which could not be bought.
Yet the resorts now sighted were
popular once. 1t is not possible
that they have declined in beauty or
Ettractiveness. Why have they lost
their lure 10 the present generation?

New York must continue to fall be-
hind other cities in the effectiveness
of its library service unless It makes
a per capita appropriation Of at least
so cents. For 1922 the Board of
Estimate set aside $1.o32.32S for the
library system. This year 1t is asked
to increase that sum by s455,299. Is
the city Of New York to balk at an
expenditure Of one million and half
dollars for needs which are as i'm
portant as any in the lives of its
citizens?

Legal Decisions About Combinations
BY Labor Unions.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Inquirer
in his letter about conspiracies asked a
number OF questions vital to the eco
nomIc problems confronting the Ame-i-
can people. Part or his Inquiry was
answered in your editorial article on
1.-THE Bearing OF the Clayton Act" May
| add few lines. gathered from legal
sources. on this important subject?
District Judge Neterer. in the case Of
the Alaska Steamship Company VS.. In.
ternational L.onEshoremen's Association
or Puget Sound. ct al. In 236 Federal
Reporter, se4, held that cooperating and
confederating together or members Of a
labor union for the purpose of preventing
an interstate common carrier from car
rying on it's business goes beyond the
privilege extended and the license
granted by Section 20 OF the Clayton
act and infringes upon the rights Of
the carrier so as to entitle it to an in
junction.
In the case Of the Duplex Printing
Press Company VS.. Deering, 254 U. s..
443. the United states court decided that
an attempt by the International Assoc
citation of Maehinists to unioni2e the fac
tory and force the closed shop. the eight
hour day and the unions scale OF wages
by boycotting the Interstate freight Of
the Duplex Printing Press Company
was unlawful and was not protected by
Section 20 OF the Clayton act.
Furthermore. In the very recent case
OF the American Steel Foundries vs.. Tri-
City c. r. Council. decided December 5.
1921. by the United States Supreme
Court. Chief Justice Taft writing the
opinion. used the following language:
ut has been determined by this court
that the irrepafable injury to property
or to a property right In the first para
graph OF Section 20. includes injury to
the business OF an employer and that
the second paragraph applies only M
cases growing cut Of dispute concern
Ing terms or conditions Of employment.
between an employer ard employee, be-
tween employers and employees. or be-
tween employees, or between persons
employed and persons seeking employ
nent, and not to such dispute between
an employer and persons who are neither
ex-employees nor seeking employment"
From the foregoing It follows that
the Clayton act does not protect con.
spiracy on the part Of either employees
or former employees to interfere with
interstate trade and commerce. The
Clayton act does not protect former
employees who have severed their rela-
ton and are no longer employees. Con-
sequently. coal strikers and railroad
strikers are not entitled to any immun-
ity by REASON OF the Clayton act, and to
answer inquirer" specifically the same
rule may be applied to trade unionists
who announce that they are voting on
proposals to close mines or to cut on
train service. e. G. II.
