When we come to deal with great
corporations the need for the govern

In the case of labor, because great
corporations can become such only
by engaging in Interstate commerce,
and Interstate commerce is peculiarly
the field of the general government.
It Is an absurdity to expect to elimin
ate tbe abuses in great corporations
by state action.
It la difficult to be patient with an
argument that such matter, should
be left to the state, because more than

unable to face call for help, then the
federal government may Interfere; but
though such Interference may be
caused by a condition of things arising
out of trouble connected with some
question of labor, the Interference
itself simply takes the form of restor

tions which have caused the breach
of order for to keep order is a pri

and violence all other questions sink
into abeyance until order has been re
