Hatters Union and the Axnorfeafi Federation of Labor was in violation of the Sherman ntltrust law is the subject of a significant editorial by Samuel Gompers president of the federa- tion in the current issue oj organ Tho article is headed Labor organiza tions must net bo outlawed and in a foot note ho says It should he borne in wind that there is no Jaw not eve a court decision com- pelling union men or their friends of la- bor to buy a Bucks stove or range No Not eien buy a Loewe bat This is followed by a personal address- to organized labor and friends stating that In view of the courts decision which must be obeyed regardless of whether or not It is Just and of the fact that it the organization and tho individuate composing it liable to monetary damages and imprisonment Mr says ho feels obliged to discontinue the publication of the fed- erations We dont patronize list A SivecnliJK Decision In the course of tote editorial Mr GoMpers that no moro swooping t farreaching and important decision had ever been Issued by the Supreme Court The Drod Scott decision he con- tinues did not approach this in scope and importance for It only decreed that- a runaway slave could be pursued if ho made his capo Into a free State and his return compelled by all the pow- ers of the government to Ids in a slave State Any person Vho asitj in Iho be prosecuted before the courts for a criminal offense That c Vision tho fuw negro stave who could make good their escape from a slaveholding State The cirtl war annulled the decision of the Supreme Court and freed the slaves It cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of brave men on both sides and emnacinated from chattel 400WQO of slaves No man now points to that famous DredScott Supreme Court decision- It then goes on to say that a study of the decision rovonls some strange pecu- liarltiee among them the fact that the complaint of the Loewe Company Is set forth in full while the response of the union to scarcely referred to that the complaint was full of the most glaring inaccuracies and misstatements that none of the precedents quoted by the paralleled the case Quoting from the opinion of the reference to the fact that seventy out of eightytwo hat manu- facturers had accepted the terms of the union and that when tho Loewe Com- pany declined to unionize its factory the boyoott bad been ordered Mr Gompors- eays The Amazing View Tho court takes the amazing view that even the most successful effort of the hatters union to obtain and maintain Industrial peaco with employers is proof of unlawful is conspiracy and under the Sherman antitrust law unlawful and punishable by being mulcted In damages and by and im- prisonment As a matter of fact neither the hatter nor any other trade over at- tempted to coorco all manufacturers against their will to mako agreements with the union Common senso teaches that a voluntary agreement between an employer and a union must be a peaceful one All union agreements with employ- ers are voluntary and mutual No union could if it tried force an employer to enter into an agreement with it No union attempts such unbuslnesslike The most any union has done is to decline to buy tho products of a firm which declined to employ union men and grant the prevailing rate of wages hours of labor and conditions of employment Supposing they wero exorcising their con etltutional right of free speech union men have asked their frierids and fellow unionists buy such goods The court is In error says Mr Gompers in denying its charge that the American Federation of Labor had declared a boycott against the Loewe Company It had never indorsed or de- clared a boycott against the company In fact no request for such action In any manner or form had ever been made to the federation nr Its officers directly or indirectly by the hatters or any one else That company had never been published- in tho Wo dont patronize list of the Court itself realized the evil consequences Wo feel it our duty In tho Interest of truth and accuracy he continued to call public attention to the error of the court in charging the American Federa- tion of Labor with being a party to the action against tho Loewe Company We can hardly believe that tho Supreme Court itself realized the evil consequences which may follow thIs decision under Its construction of the Sherman antitrust law a construction never intended by Congress It may be like the falling pcb mlcs which dislodges the avalanche gringlng ruin and destruction upon all in Its path Should this be the result it wilt Continued

depositary institu- tions into which large sums were paid near tho closo of last year to tide over the panic Secretary Cortelyou is of the opinion that a partial withdrawal of the loaned funds from the hanks into the Treasury can now bo made without harm to the financial interests of the country With this end in view he issued the fol lowing call yesterday Tbe Scenery of Ute Tram auwBces aM upon

portions of the country aro to tie ef- fect that this proportion of the govern mont funds now on deposit with these national banks can bo withdrawn without detriment to financial conditions In section Fifteen Per Cent of Whole At the close of business yesterday the amount of deposits of government mon eys in the depositary banks was approxi- mately 240000000 The withdrawals called for therefore constitute about 16 per- cent of the whole The Secretarys action was not prompt ed by any special need of money by government although the working cash balance in the Treasury is only about 24000000 The withdrawals mean that in tho opinion of the Treasury Department- the volume of money In the chief finan cial centers is now enough to Jus- tify a moderate contraction While bankers brokers and business- men generally are much at variance as to tho causes of the financial stringency of last year and no two of them meeting together to discuss the will ever agree it is a fact that con ditions affecting the use of currency at the present time show a striking contrast with those which prevailed a year ago Then business speculation and enterprise was at flood tide Greater demands upon capital were being made than ever before In the history of the world Expansion of trade industry building and enlargement- of facilities were hi the financial air The attire energies of this country and the world were abnormally vitalized and con- fidence in the prosperity of the country and the world amounted almost to mad ness 3Ioney Panic Culls Unit Then the grip of the money panic was laid upon the

taken to bring about controT of cor porations and relieve the people of burdens with which Democratic platforms have declared have long been oppressed Some of the leaders however express- a that the Chicago convention In- case of a deadlock and protracted ballot ing might go wild over the President and despite his refusal to be a candidate nominate him and adjourn thus forcing him to be a candidate They say that In such a contingency tho Democratic party would be In the attitude of Indors- ing the Republican candidate In its plat- form und a campaign against him would be hopeless

COURTS DECISION

Makes Startling Defense of

the Cause of Xabor

ADDRESS

Organizations or Unions MustNot Be Outlawed

Civil IVnr Aiizinllcd Decision of SnprcmcConrt and Freed the Slavesnt Cot of Ilnnclrciln of ThonmuidHof I iveK Declares A F of ILender In Commenting on Ilnlins Relative to Boycotts

The recent decision of tlio SupremeCourt in the Danbury hatters invblch Jt was held that the boycott estabUshed by the Hatters Union and theAxnorfeafi Federation of Labor was inviolation of the Sherman ntltrust lawis the subject of a significant editorial bySamuel Gompers president of the federa-

tion in the current issue oj organTho article is headed Labor organizations must net bo outlawed and in afoot note ho says

It should he borne in wind that thereis no Jaw not eve a court decision com-

pelling union men or their friends of la-

bor to buy a Bucks stove or range NoNot eien buy a Loewe bat

This is followed by a personal address-to organized labor and friends statingthat In view of the courts decisionwhich must be obeyed regardless ofwhether or not It is Just and of thefact that it the organization andtho individuate composing it liable tomonetary damages and imprisonmentMr says ho feels obliged todiscontinue the publication of the fed-

erations We dont patronize listA SivecnliJK Decision

In the course of tote editorial MrGoMpers that no moro swooping

t farreaching and important decision hadever been Issued by the Supreme Court

The Drod Scott decision he con-

tinues did not approach this in scopeand importance for It only decreed that-a runaway slave could be pursued ifho made his capo Into a free Stateand his return compelled by all the pow-ers of the government to Ids ina slave State

Any person Vho asitj in Iho

be prosecuted before the courts for acriminal offense That c Visiontho fuw negro stave who could makegood their escape from a slaveholdingState The cirtl war annulled the decisionof the Supreme Court and freed theslaves It cost the lives of hundreds ofthousands of brave men on both sidesand emnacinated from chattel400WQO of slaves No man nowpoints to that famous DredScott SupremeCourt decision-

It then goes on to say that a study ofthe decision rovonls some strange pecu-liarltiee among them the fact that thecomplaint of the Loewe Company Is setforth in full while the response of theunion to scarcely referred to that thecomplaint was full of the most glaringinaccuracies and misstatements thatnone of the precedents quoted by the

paralleled the case Quoting fromthe opinion of the reference to the factthat seventy out of eightytwo hat manu-facturers had accepted the terms of theunion and that when tho Loewe Com-pany declined to unionize its factory theboyoott bad been ordered Mr Gompors-eays

The Amazing ViewTho court takes the amazing view that

even the most successful effort of thehatters union to obtain and maintainIndustrial peaco with employers is proofof unlawful is conspiracy

and under the Sherman antitrust lawunlawful and punishable by beingmulcted In damages and by and im-prisonment As a matter of fact neitherthe hatter nor any other trade over at-tempted to coorco all manufacturersagainst their will to mako agreementswith the union Common senso teachesthat a voluntary agreement between anemployer and a union must be a peacefulone All union agreements with employ-ers are voluntary and mutual No unioncould if it tried force an employer toenter into an agreement with it Nounion attempts such unbuslnesslike

The most any union has done is todecline to buy tho products of a firmwhich declined to employ union men andgrant the prevailing rate of wages hoursof labor and conditions of employmentSupposing they wero exorcising their conetltutional right of free speech unionmen have asked their frierids and fellowunionists buy such goods

The court is In error says MrGompers in denying its charge thatthe American Federation of Labor haddeclared a boycott against the LoeweCompany It had never indorsed or de-clared a boycott against the companyIn fact no request for such action In anymanner or form had ever been made tothe federation nr Its officers directly orindirectly by the hatters or any one elseThat company had never been published-in tho Wo dont patronize list of theCourt itself realized the evil consequences

Wo feel it our duty In tho Interest oftruth and accuracy he continued tocall public attention to the error of thecourt in charging the American Federa-tion of Labor with being a party to theaction against tho Loewe Company Wecan hardly believe that tho SupremeCourt itself realized the evil consequenceswhich may follow thIs decision under Itsconstruction of the Sherman antitrustlaw a construction never intended byCongress It may be like the falling pcbmlcs which dislodges the avalanchegringlng ruin and destruction upon all inIts path Should this be the result it wilt

CALL BACK CURRENCY

Secretary Cortelyou Asks 25

Treasury Department Take Ilopcfalof KJnnucIal Situation Con

ilitionx in Striking Contrast withThose Prevailing n Year AKOCountry In Healthy Condition

The financial stringency wnlch becausestate Jast December has subsidgl to apoint where the SKrary of tho Treas-ury Justified in recalling approxi-mately 33500ft000 from depositary institu-tions into which large sums were paidnear tho closo of last year to tide overthe panic Secretary Cortelyou is of theopinion that a partial withdrawal of theloaned funds from the hanks into theTreasury can now bo made without harmto the financial interests of the countryWith this end in view he issued the following call yesterday

100000 of funds or in excess thereof awlwhere each withdrawal cam bo made Tritfeoot 5co-Tcnienco to the TYeasary Department In the tiusaction of public business

Payments under call win be mads AS fellowsTen per cent of the amount called en orMarch 9 and the rcmainte 1C per ctrl on or be-fore March 23

The Secretary stated that advises fromall portions of the country aro to tie ef-fect that this proportion of the governmont funds now on deposit with thesenational banks can bo withdrawn withoutdetriment to financial conditions Insection

Fifteen Per Cent of WholeAt the close of business yesterday the

amount of deposits of government moneys in the depositary banks was approxi-mately 240000000 The withdrawals calledfor therefore constitute about 16 per-cent of the whole

The Secretarys action was not prompted by any special need of money bygovernment although the working cashbalance in the Treasury is only about24000000 The withdrawals mean that intho opinion of the Treasury Department-the volume of money In the chief financial centers is now enough to Jus-tify a moderate contraction

While bankers brokers and business-men generally are much at variance as totho causes of the financial stringency oflast year and no two ofthem meeting together to discuss the

will ever agree it is a fact that conditions affecting the use of currency atthe present time show a striking contrastwith those which prevailed a year agoThen business speculation and enterprisewas at flood tide Greater demands uponcapital were being made than ever beforeIn the history of the world Expansion oftrade industry building and enlargement-of facilities were hi the financial air Theattire energies of this country and theworld were abnormally vitalized and con-fidence in the prosperity of the countryand the world amounted almost to madness
