were very properly required to ''afford

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

, 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

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

would be Impracticable to enforce the

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
