I iveK Declares A F of I Lender In Commenting on Ilnl ins Relative to Boycotts The recent decision of tlio Supreme Court in the Danbury hatters in vblch Jt was held that the boycott es tabUshed by the 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

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
