Two Labor Day utteranoes by
union labor leaders struck novel
note. They implied some recogni-
tion of the great change which has
occurred in the public's attitude
toward the claims Of organized
labor.
Mr.. Gompers said in Washington;
EVERY contest with the owners
and manipulators of Industry ac-
centuates the truth tina. the work
ers have but few outside their own
ranks who sympathize with them
in their determination to emanci-
pate mankind or support them In
their efforts"
Here q truth shines through a
sheathIng Of misleading rhetoric.
Mr.. Gompers sees that few people
sympathize any longer with the eff
forts of labor unionism. as now
practiced, to exploit the rest of the
community. He ingenuously says
that unionism is trying to "emanci-
pate mankind" But people who
have followed that effort have
wakened to the fact that the
emancipation" is not intended to
extend beyond the ranks of the

The plain English of the injunc-
/ tion granted, at the instance of the
Harding administration, by the
United States District Court at Chi
cago is that the striking unions shall
not interfere with railway transpor-
tation. The plain American OF It is
that the terms of the decree must
be obeyed. If Iabor's rights are In
any way violated by the restraining
order, its remedy lies in the courts,
and nowhere else. If It desires TO
oppose the order, II is limited 10 ju-
dlcial procedure as provided by the
Constitution and by laws enacted
under that instrument. Such rs the
status OF the injunction and Of those
enJoined under American institutions
and talk OF leaders that hints at as
sertion OF alleged rights IN disregard
of court authority and at resistance
other than IN the orderly manner
prescribed by the Constitution aud

that summons the American people
TO attention and puts them on guard
against threatened action of minor
fly elements that would deny the su-
premacy OF their government Even
though the striking unions are con-
vinced that their rights have been
violated blythe injunction, this does
not justify them in denying the au-
thority OF the United States govern
ment as embodied in that order. AS
a constituent element of the Ameri-
can they cannot refuse compliance
without placing themselves IN the
position OF denying the supremacy of
law. And such denial will not be
tolerated either by the government
or by the people.
While the public may be disposed
to concede that labor leaders and
elements opposing the injunction as
being violative of the rights of organ

contention 1t is not disposed to grant
that, in the general effect, II violates

Samuel Gompers' furious alta

from the SOutn beuu lA4puhos
Samuel Gompers' furious attack
against President Harding following
Fridays message to the Congress
should have been read by everybody
who desires 20 take an intelligent
citizens part. Everything Mr.. Com
pers says should be read for citizens
need to know what he thinks about
things; knowing they can act intel
ligently.
Mr.. Gompers' statement, one Of
the most radical and defiant he ever
made, was also the most strongly po-
liticai. For several years Il has been
more and more apparent that as
president Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor Mr.. Gompers desired
to vote the federation solid for the
democratic party. He was an un-
official member OF Presidents VIII
sons cabinet and from 1913 to 1921
enjoyed comfortable seat on the
white house steps. The landslide of
1920 was a great blow to him and
ever since then he has never lost an
opportunity to attack the govern
ment as represented by President
Harding.
About the only comment necessary
on the text of Mr.. Gompers' veno-
nous statement is to urge everybody
to read It as It appeared in the Sun
day papers. We believe that the
majority of good Americans will re-
sent the vltuperatlons of this disap-
pointed old man who insanely places
the organization he represents above
the government of the republic of
the United States.

persons to be dissuaded may law
fully be for the purpose of peace

of any person to work or abstain
from working or from ceasing to pa
tronize or employ any party to such
dispute; the payment of strike ben
efits; the peaceable assembling in a
lawful manner and for lawful pur-
poses; and the doing of anything
which might be done lawfully in the
absence OF such dispute by any
party thereto.
Here in this mass OF verbiage is
the amazing class legislation which
strike and boycott organizers have
depended upon for eight years as
their passport and protection against
the interference of the courts by
injunction or restraining order.
Section 20 of the Clayton act IS
bound to be the most prominent
feature OF the arguments OF the
protestants against the course
adopted by the Attorney General
with President Harding's approval
Now. without undertaking to dis
cuss technically the force of the
statute, there is one thing which
any intelligent layman who reads
carefully the foregoing provisions is
not likely TO overlook. The entire
prohibition OF injunctlons like the
whole body OF permissive speciflca-
tons consequent thereupon, refers
only to cases between employers
and employees o. employees and per-
sons seeking employment-private I
parties on either side. The Govern
ment OF the United States, which !
has obtained from Judge Wilkinson
the temporary injunction and asks
the court to make It permanent. is
not an employer of the striking
shopmen. II certainly is
not an employed person or in any
sense a person seeking employment.
Does the Clayton act bear on this
Ease at all? Is 1t concerned with
he present application of the Ex-
scutive to the judiciary any more
han Il would have been concerned
with Attorney-General Olney's ap-
plication TO the courts in 1894 had
he clayton act then existed?

APPALLING COST OF STRIKES
m the Albany journal.

From the Albany Journal.
Necessarily rough estimates Of the
losses which the strikes of the coal
miners and railroad employees have
already caused, directly. show ap-
pallingly large figures, which are
iikely to be greatly exceeded when
the ultimate reckoning is made.
The number OF striking miners is
estimated at 100000, aud that of
voluntarily idle railroad workers at
$4,000. On that basis there is an
average daily loss OF s7.50O,000 in
wages, making a total, thus far of
$500. 100000 or more.
Loss OF the mine operators Is
estimated at something like $780,
100000 on the basis OF 81 a ton
for the bituminous coal that would
have been mined in the time of
the strike. Estimate of the loss
of the anthracite mine oerators is
considered that intensive operation
will to a degree make up for pres
ent stoppage of earnings.
And it is estimated that the rail-
roads have already lost about ST.
100000 through diminished opera
tion facilities and conditions that
required extraordinary expenditures.
These estimates make a total loss
OF more than half a billion dollars.
of which nearly half is suffered by
the workers
Most of that loss can never be
made up. And then there are the
innumerable indirect losses from
compulsory reduction of activity in
industries which require abundance
of coal for continuous operation,
and from decreased purchasing ca
pacity of the million and a quarter
workers who are without their regu-
lar wages.
It is obvious that there isn't any,
thing that can possibly be gained by
the strikes which can compensate
the strikers for the losses which they
are sustaining, whose enormous
total is steadily growing while these
workers remain idle.

The railroads in this part of the

as many engines and cars were at

The Bearing of the Clayton Act
(From the New York Herald)

It is apparent that such resist
ance on legal grounds as the strike
leaders and sympathizers can offer
TO the Daugherty injunction is to
center upon Section 20 of the Clay
ton act. The merits or dcmerits of
that conspicuous example of class
legislation are now in question.
Congress passed the bill containing
the exemption section; II was ap-
proved by President Wilson and II
became law. It remains for the Su-
preme Court to interpret its provis-
ions again, as already once before
in the Duplex Printing Press Com
pany case. decided in January Of
last year.
Section 20 OF the Federal anti
trust law, known as the Clayton act,
was read by Mr.. Gompers on Mon
day to his audience in Philadelphia
and by him exhibited TO them as a
bar to "injunctions IN such a case
as this"
THE act provides that no court
OF the United States and no Judge
or judges thereof shall grant any
restraining order or injunction in
any case between an employer and
employees, or beteen employers and
employees, or between employees, or
between persons employed and per-
sons seeking employment, involving
or growing out of a dispute CON
cerning terms or conditions Of en-
ployment," except under certain
circumstances. The exceptions are
when such injunction or restraining
order is necessary TO prevent irrep-
arabic damage to property. or 20 a
property right, of the person max
ing the application. for which in
jury there IS no adequate remedy at
law"
Il Is important to observe the
exact language OF the statute which
Mr. Gompers and the Federation
lawyers hold to be prohibitory Of
such injunctions, for the exact Ian
guage IS vital in the present case.
Section 20 then goes on TO reclte
certain acts which cannot be pro-
hibited or restrained by judicial /
order and provides that none OF
these specified acts shall be con
sidered or held to be violations OF
any law Of the United States" The
specified acts thus said TO be legal

Mr.. Gompers admits that union

the real reason for this, which is
that the unions are pursuing an eco
