Boycott Upheld

A recent rullng Dy Jne SeCOnd
Circuit Court of Appeals directs
attention to one inevitable result
of the Supreme Courts decision to
exempt labor unions from the scope
of the antitrust laws.
A New York City local of the
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers, aspiring to what the
court called exceedingly" higher
wages and shorter working hours,
entered into an agreement with New
York manufacturers of electrical
equipment. Under the agreement,
the electrical workers got the wages
and working hours that they wanted.
In return, they undertook to refuse
to work on the products of out-of-
town electrical manufacturing con-
Germs, and the union was strong
enough in the city to enforce this
agreement. This enabled the local
manufacturers to absorb their in
creased costs and probably to add to
their profits by charging two and
three times as much for their prod
ucts as ut-of-town manufacturers
were getting for similar equipment.
One New York concern actually had
two price lists, one for goods sold in
the city and a much lower one for
sales in other areas. 1t was lucra-
tive arrangement for the union and
the New York manufacturers, but
the consuming public, of course, was
being subjected to a refined form Of
extortion.
Manufacturers who could not sell
their products In New York because
of the boycott-General Electric,
Westinghouse and others-brought
suit for an injunction, and this was
granted by the District Court. But
the Court of Appeals, asserting that
the Supreme Court had held this
type of union activity to be immune
to judicial interference, decided last
week that the courts we're powerless
to protect the public against even
the most fragrant abuses OF union
power.
This is state of affairs which
ought to give pause to those who
profess to be concerned with the
welfare Of the consumer, and who
are constantly promising the more
abundant life. The fact is that the
consumer is trapped by new type
of union activity which adds enor-
mously to the price of things that he
must buy. Since the courts are un-
willing to protect the interests of the
mass of the people, the only possible
remedy lies in congressional action,
which will be forthcoming when an
outraged public opinion demands it,
and not before.

such atrocities or stand by while they
were being committed" The answer
was; We did not approve. but we acted
under government orders and had we
refused would have been shot"
Not one OF our correspondents is salts
ned with that answer. But the situa-
ton presents a very difficult problem,
which will become increasingly difficult,
in trying war criminals: What is le-
gality? What is law? Can a man be
held responsible for laws which were
made without his consent and by de-
cree. but which nevertheless had all
the appearances and paraphernalia of
legality?
I am, for instance, put to it to imagine
under what strictly legal authority Hit
ler can be tried for anything In the
conscience of mankind it has become a
crime to wage an aggressive war, but
II Is no crime IN law. Possibly he could
be tried for crimes against the state
under the Weimar constitution, still
theoretically in existence But a smart
lawyer could make a persuasive case
that everything he had done had been
formally legal.
Yet this state Of affairs is in sharp
contradiction to the feeling for justice
all over the world.
In such a situation, there is no jus
tice except revolutionary justice. All
law rests, in its final analysis, on the
state of public consciousness and con-
science. The ancient Greeks believed
that to kill a tryrant was justice, since
tyranny was the negation of justice
The basis Of the Swiss law was an illegal
act-the killing by Wilhelm Tell of the
protector" imposed upon the Swiss can
tons, whose authority the Swiss would
not accept.
1t always has been futile to believe
that Fsscism could be liquidated by the
forms of law by which We try ordinary
criminals in constitutional states. A new
justice has to be born, and new law
created, and it will be born in revolu-
tionary tribunals because there are no
other tribunals
The test of revolutionary justice is al
ways historical, not legal"

Dr.. Wiley Remembered.

~ oCCiiio AAiSlC COlblC tildb oil ClIlIC
century has passed since Harvey
Washington Wiley began his great
and useful career. But 1t is fact
that it was on October 18, 1874, that
he was born. The place was a log
cabin at Kent in Jefferson County,
Indiana, and throughout the whole
span of his life-eighty-six busy and
fruitful years-he retained in his
mind and manner some strange and
curious element Of the classic from
tier. His eyes were among the
sharpest of his generation, and they
always were directed forward He
lived ahead of the majority OF his
contemporaries, anticipating de-
velopments as the pioneers from
whom he was descended most
notably did
DR.. Wiley, however, was not
equipped merely with his inherited
endowment. He was educated in
excellent schools and subsequently
taught in number of them. When
he became chief chemist of the
Department of Agriculture in 1888,
he was thoroughly prepared for the
work which was 70 bring him fame.
The methods of research employed
by him were those of Won Hofmann,
Won Helmholtz and Virchow. His
technical approach to the analysis
Of food was that of Sell of the Ger
man Imperial Health Office in
Berlin, then the best establishment
of its kind in the world.
But DR.. Wiley went beyond his
mentors. During nearly three
decades he led the crusade for
improved nutrition. He wanted
people better fed in order that they
might have better health. Processed
foods, he demonstrated, very COM
monty were adulterated with harm
full preservatives and filters" His
disclosures were important in them
selves in that they brought about
the passage of the Food and Drug
Act of 1906. Less directly yet never
theless effectively, they led to the
correction Of mistaken policies of
processing. The campaign which
DR.. Wiley staged in behalf of these
necessary reforms led to a series of
battles with manufacturers and with
politicians who complained that he
was going "too far" He carried the
fight to the public through news
paper and magazine articles and
lyceum and Chatauqua speeches
which were of value because they
made science popular as we'll as be-
cause they accomplished the dis
ciplining of the canning and packing
industries which he concluSively
proved they needed.
DR.. Wiley, meanwhile, was good
neighbor n the District OF Columbia

A Virqiniu Gentleman

DR.. John Stewart Bryan, who
died in Richmond on Monday eve
ming, possessed to an unusual de-
gree the attributes with which ira
dition has endowed the Virginia
gentleman. He was a man of great
personal charm, graceful and witty
in conversation and really eloquent
as a speaker, gracious in his un-
conscious courtesy to others, schol-
arly in his intellectual pursuits,
we'll read and we'll bred. He had
the true Virginian's deep devotion
to his State and sense of RESPONSE
bility for public service that as
sures him high place among the
Old Dominion'S distinguished sons.
Reared and educated in an atmos-
phere of conservatism, he identified
himself and his two newspapers, the
Richmond Times-Dispatch and News
Leader, with the wholesome liberal
ism OF the New South. He was one
of the best known, and certainly one
of the best loved, of American pub
fishers, with wide and diversified
interests in that field. He will be
remembered for his service as presi-
dent and later as chancellor of the
College of William and Mary, a Serv-
ice which provided new opportuni-
ties to him in the exercise of his
profound convictions regarding the
role of education in an enlightened
democracy. His discriminating ap-
probation Of the culture which flow
cred in Colonial America prompted
his interest in the preservation and
restoration of its major achieve
ments. To these and other labors
for his State and his country, he
brought gifted talent for leader
ship, wise knowledge of his people
and his times, and rare art in
making and keeping friends. To
these, his death Is peculiarly
personal loss

reasons the japanese are determined
to oppose the British with the utmost
energy. There are political considera-
tions which lead the Tokyo rulers to
believe that even under the precarious

energetic offensive of the japanese

Hence, while they realize they have no

On the Record
By Dorothy THOMPSON

Two cases in Italy of punishment OF
Fascist criminals have obviously dis
turbed the American correspondent who
reported them. The first was the kill
Ing by mass violence of the Roman
prison director; Donate Carretta, and
the second the condemnation to 30
years imprisonment of the director of
the Bank of Italy, Vincenzo Azzolini.
In the first case, the man who had
been the jailer of the Roman anti
Fascists, and who was mistaken by
some for his superior, Pietro Caruso.

truth, nothing more terrible and insult

tacle of a blood thirsty mob.
Mr.. Matthews spontaneous reaction
was: This is worse than Fascism Here
he was wrong. Among the atrocities
committed by Fascists was the drown
ing in the Arno River of five Liberal
lawyers, in the fall of 1925, under cir
cumstances almost exactly parallel-and
with this difference, that the Florence
lynching was organized by the state.

HormfuI Attitude

1t will be both unfortunate and
decidedly harmful if the President
attempts to silence all critics of the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals by ridi-
culing them with the suggestion that
they are a bit on the weak minded
side. This is technique which Mr..
Roosevelt seems to like, and which he
has used before. But it has never
produced any constructive results,
and its application to the Dumbarton
Oaks discussion can be positively
destructive. This question, which is
of most vital concern to all of us,
should be debated on the serious
level. That debate does not mean
abandonment of the great objectives
through undue preoccupation with
details. The details are highly i'm
portant.
The people of this country are not
interested in whether the delegates
to the security organization wear
silk hats or low-neck dresses. Nor
do they care what the delegates
eat for breakfast, and it is regret
table that the President, even for
purposes of ridicule, should bring
such trivialities in to the discussion.
The American people are greatly
interested, however, in the authority
to be given our delegate to the
Security Council. The question Of
whether this delegate shall have
the power to commit the United
States to the use of force in given
case, without prior reference to
Congress, goes to the very heart of
the matter of our participation in
the security organization, and the
decision finally made with respect
to 1t may very we'll determine
whether this country is to play
real part in the keeping of the
peace. Because this is so obviously
the case, it is the more incredible
that the President should attempt
to brush the issue aside as a mere
detail, and to seem to question the
good faith of those people who are
deeply interested in it.
There should be the fullest appre-
citation of the fact that neither the
President nor any one else can fore
close full discussion of all aspects of
the problem of maintaining the
peace, On the contrary, full dis
cussion, free of petulance and bad
temper, is eminently desirable, for
it is only through that process that
we can hope to achieve the sub
stantial unanimity of opinion in
support of the obligations which
this Nation will have to assume If
we are to do our share in preserving
the peace of the world.
