' ' ' - TAFT'S DANGEROUS STRIKE decision is Analyzed Lawyer Foints Out Injustice of Republican Candidate's Ruling Against Brotherhood of Etocomotiye, En- sineers Tends to Create Wage Staves. TO WG THREE AT SAME JOB At Vancouver, B. C, Two Ne groes and a Chinese to " " Die December 18. (l By John F. Robertson. Tiie decision of Judge Tart, now a candidate lor the presidency, generally referred to and complained of aa the ' one furnishing a precedent for a long line' Of other like decision adversely ' affecting organised labor, was tiVd In 1 the United States circuit court for the ' northern district of Ohio, and' it may " be found Oft. page 730 of the 64th fed- eral reporter, and Is entitled Toledo, Ann Arbor A Northern Michigan Rail road company vs. Pennsylvania Co. et 1-For the purpose of brevity I will , designate the clalntlff company as the Toledo company and the defendant as the Pennsylvania company. I think I am safe In saying that the Pennsylvania company was rKt, nor was It Intended to be the feal .defendant. Between these. companies it was very . probably a friendly suit. The defend ant. aa well aa the plalhtlffjWanted Just sucn aecision as it got. 'ine et ai, ' that waa the . brotherhood of local en filneers, were, although .not originally n the suit, or personally served with - . process, were to be tnade. and were made the real defendants against whom judg nient was. sought and finally , rendered The rules of the Order of the Brother : hood of Engineers prevented a member . 01 toe oraer irom nanaung ine prop erty (that Is, cars or freight, routed , over the road) of a railroad company i on which the brotherhood were then en . gaged la a legal strike. A legal strike would te one voted y the -erotneroooa themselves, approved, and called by the . chief. There had been such strike ', ' called on the Toledo road. The order . had a membership of 85,000, and the chief notified the different officers of ' the lodges on the Pennsylvania-railroad that a. legal strike was then on the Toledo road, and that they must com' x1t with the laws fcf the order. By the third section of the Interstate commeroe act, all common carriers. - "accord In a to their respective Dowers." were very properly required to ''afford all reasonable, proper and eoual facill ties for-the Interchange of traffic be- , tween their respective lines connecting tnerewito." section m of the act a amended (ZStn Statute at Large, d. ; S66) provides a penalty of 15,000 for the violation of this statute, by the cor poration, its orr icers or employes, ana ... tnat would include these engineers. j Employes flonnd by 3nty. .It is evident then that while the en rtneers remained in the service of the , Pennsylvania company, a rerusal on their part' to handle cars, or 'freight : routed over the Toledo road, would be a violation of tnis statute and "upon conviction -thereof In any district court of the United States within the lurts . diction of which suoh offense was com mitted, be eubleot to a nne or not ex ceeding . ts,ooo .. : ,r- , But remember that this" law did not apply to any others than the "corpora . tion Itself, and Its directors, officers, receivers, trustees, lessees, agents or persons acting for or employed by such . corporation." It would seem then that ' . the engineers might avoid a violation of the law, and consequently the pen , alty, by cuittln- uie service of the company, either singly or. in concert : ' by a general strike They would ' then ' not be employes, and this seems to be conceded by judge Taf t himself, page , HI, I quote: "They may avoid obedience to the in- v. Innctlon bv ectunJIv oeaslna to be em ployes of the company; otherwise the injunction would be in effect an order on them to remain In the service of "v the company, and no such order was -, ever, so iar as tne autnonues snow, is sued oy court or equity. This: would seem to be fair, and un- : doubtedlv correctly lays down theTaw, No court of equltv had ever issued an order that a free man should remain unwillingly In the service of another. Stick . Din here. " : . Then Judge Taf t immediately pro eeeds to pave the way to Justify him self In ignoring and disregarding this sound and salutary rule of the law. lie - "It la true that If thev eult the serv Ice of the company In execution of -rule 12, in order to procure or compel de- . pendent companies to injure tne com Dlalnant oomoanv. they are doing an un lawful act, rendering themselves liable In damages to the complainant If any ' Injury Is thereby Inflicted, and that they may pa incurring a criminal penalty, as already explained, but, no matter how ; inaaequaie tne remeay ai taw, me arm , of a court of equity cannot be extendel by mandatory injunction . to compel the .. enforcement of personal service as . atralnst either the emnlover or the em ployed. The reason la obvious. It would be Impracticable to enforce the . relation or master ana servant against the wiu oi either,'' Exceptions Axe Significant. With two slsmlf leant' verbal exceD- tlons this certainly is sound law. These exceptions are, (1) that to "quit aerv : tee" under rule 11 would be an "un lawful act," and i) that the quitters may be incurring a "criminarDenaity. These statements seem to have been made yurposelv to pave : the way for what follows on page 744. as follows: "It would seem from the foregoing authorities that we may enjoin Arthur from directing the engineers to qultj wora, ror tne purpose -or coercing tne "defendant companies to violate the law ..and complainant's rights. Though we cannot enjoin , the engineers rrora un -lawfully quitting. It does not follow that we .may not enjoin Arthur from ordering : them to do' so." Listen: "Though ' we cannot enjoin the engi neers from unlawfully quitting," those are his exact words. If the quitting would be "unlawful." 1t must violate some law. What law? But If "the aot of oultflhg service be unlawful" would It not then be proper to enjoin ltT Is not tne very purpose or an lnjuxiouoa to prevent an "unlawful act"t Tr must the act to be enjoined be a lawful aott It 'would seem so from this decision. If these railroad engineers had a right to quit tncir jods, and aid so, now could It be "unlawful quitting," or "an un lawful aot"? Or that they should there- Dy incur a "criminal oenalty'T If they had a right to quit work n.i.. I k 1 .,.n.. how could It be possible that It would be criminal in Arthur to order them to do that in concert, which they had a right to do singly or in concert? And how could he be legally enjoined from doing that which he had an undoubted right by law to do? The right to quit tne service of any Dergon or eorrora tion at will Is but a recognition of the rights guaranteed to every citlsen of the united states by the constitution. -Vet. In Dlaln violation of this con stitutlonal provision. Judge Taft de cided that ''we may enjoin Arthur from oireoting the engineers to quit work. And not only that, but he went further, and approved a mandatory Injunction ordering him to rescind aa order al ready issued. - & era el of the STata. 1 What would be the result of failure or refusal to comply with this man date? Arrest and summary punishment for contempt of court, though he had been a hundred or a thousand miles from . the Immediate presence of the court when he refused. Just here comes In tie difference btwesn the- platforms ef the , remocratlo and Republican parties. The Democratic platform says trial by' a Jury of hi peers; Republican, summary punishment by the court. ' It is this decision of Judge Taft, and others baaed on it, and the possibilities likely to grow out of it. that haa brought the writ of Injunction into dis repute, and which made It necessary for the convention that nominated htm to say in the Dlatform. "that the Jules of prooedure in the federal courts with re spect to the writ of Injunction should be more accurately defined by statute," Where the legislature, the Judicial and I executive powers of the government are j held by one person, it Is a despotism. Our fathers, to nrotect their children I from that, wisely distributed these powers Into three departments legisla tive, executive and Judicial, each having certain well defined powers, on which neither of the others might encroach. Conaress alone under the constitution can deolare what is to be considered a crime, and prescribe the punishment. But congress cannot establish slavery, or Involuntary servitude, nor make It a fTJntttd Press Lmm4 Wire.) . Vancouver, B. C, Nov. 8. Three men wlU be hanged In Vancouver, Decern bar It.

It would be uncon stitutional and void. Then can Judge Taft'a order have a areater validity and force than an act of congress? And yet that must be 'conceded If this decision Is to stand as the law Of the land. If congress should enact such a law. and It be held constitutional, the accused would be entitled to a Jury, trial. Is then a mandate of the court to have more vitality or force than a law - of congress? That would clothe the judge with legislative es well as Judicial powers. He would then be at least two thirds an autocrat. If our people lose- not their love of liberty and Justice, they will sweep this Infamous decision from the face of the earth.
