Criticism is worthless unless constructive work is outlined. Outside the worn out proleetive tariff promises nothing definite is orrcred. "Wo must build up our merchant marine." declares Mr Hughes, who asserts the proposal of government operated snips is a "counsel ot tolly," but he does not state how the merchant marine is to be created whether bv subsidies or unassisted private competition. Justice Hughes favors "wise conservation of our nat ural resources," but he does not define a method for their utilization and the inference is to perpetuate them as pri ... l:. ... v.... - ..l.i!.. i j . . .

Mr. Hughes declares against monopoly, but he does rot ouuino any program or action. As supreme court justice ne concurred in the Toiiaeco trust and Standard Oil de cisions, winch exalted the tudicial over the lee-islative branch of government and established the "rule of reason" wherehy monopoly was declared all right if it did not go too far. The trusts were given immunity and monopoly legal i.cii. Mr. J Inches says he stands for the " iust interests of In- nor, out he neglects to say whether he favors legislation, like the seamen's bill, which improves the condition of the workman. And Mr. Ifuirlnw in the Danburv Hitters' r.s. revealed his attitude toward labor bv depriving workmen oi I ne weapon or boycott and imposing a line of a quarter million dollars against a few poor old workmen, whose homes he confiscated, while Icttintr the multi-millionaire trusts, guilty tu tar worse crimes against the law and the aiblic, go tree. J his is evident! v his idea of social justice 1.. 1 .. X-: v.:-... i r ,. 4, "in iiiiiioiiiis iiiivc t iirni ineiiu in justice mimics is shown by his ol I lcial record. As governor of New York he vetoed the 2-cent per mile railroad fare bill, the five cent Coney Island fare and the full crew bill. As supreme jus tice he concurred in the decision which held that the shite and nation can exercise no control over railroads ex cent. in the narrow fields of transportation; that private ship pers cannot recover damages when their businesses are ruined by illegal rebates; that congress and the federal !ourt can annul state laws and commissions that compel ate reductions and that railroads in determinino- "reason able rates" can include the valuation of lands given them ly the people. This is probably what Mr. Il'uirhes referred to as "a stable basis for honest enterprise" imon which tn base "a forward movement lo promote social justice." in snort, Air. Hughes does not dcline his attitude imon the great economic and social issues of the d.-iv to ,);. over it, one must read his decisions as justice.

Whenever labor reads the record of 'liarlcs K.

The Unnliurv Halters' decision has ,i il.r..., old meaning to labor: l-'ii'M. it delinitelv deprived labor I' the li.iy. nlt, one of its most effect ive weapons. Second, it made each individual un ion mail definitely' nu-wrrablc under the Sherman Act for all the aelivitics! nt bis ol ganiution. Third, it showed labor like n Hash of lightning the ubs, ,(!,. unlaiiucss Willi which the law was enforced against labor as eonnvuv.l wi'i J ital. In addition, there was n strong sen timctitul appeal in llie fact liial in this case Ihe law ii, its uluins se verity was being enforced iigain-t a band of old and iiilirin men, who bad cii.v u giay vvbi!e the l.'i-veur eld case was Ikiu; pio-ei iited again t them.

Labor reoieiiiberml lb.il il,., .court in liaiuling down (he Standard (Ml and American Tobacco decisions had shown its complete familiarity with (he criminal careers of those corporations, had roumllv ,,.ii,mn..,.,l their praelices, and had dismissed nieni wiiiioul any punishment except a fake dissolution. Labor remembered also thai, ns shown by the congressional record, the Sherman Ac! was not intended to apply lo labor organizations. The reason that Hughes' endorse ment of labor's right to organize, as expressed in t lit- dissenting opinion in the Coppage vs. Kansas ease, car ries lillle weight vvilh the workers is very simple. "Of what use,'' I hoy say, "is an ob struct right to organize and to he protected ,.m being discharged for lieing a member of a I rude union, when the employer con fire yon for any other reason under Ihe sun on a moment's notice, ami when, by the very court thai preloads lo give ns the right In organize, every weapon except that of 'peaceful starvation' under the guise of strike is !nl.-..u r, Us? We cannot boycott, we cannot picket, under certain elri'mustanees wo ou mint even strike under the de cisions of the court without coming up against u law administered for the employer! by the employers' agents." To Ihe academic iiplifter, Hughes' continuation of the legislation in be half of women and children will carry great weight. To labor it will prob ably infer little ; partlv because bib,,,- is unable lo llielrisl.ii.il how nnv interested man could refuse the n,.. d. ed protection to women and eloblci, bill even more because it docs nol re gard Hies,, things ns fundamental, "(live us the light to organize and tight tor better wages," ihov say. mid we will protect our own women and children better than the law." i iicsc mnor law decisions, judged abstractly, do not mark l!"-gl.,.s as a political progressive, 1 take it, and especially as in every ease they re eeived the unanimous concurrence of dis- STRIKE AT HAND XKW YOIi'K, Aug. 4.
