of and no program of action to cure ti.-.t ional ills. Criticism
is worthless unless constructive work is outlined. Outside

"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

on I he supreme bench, in the Weyerhauser case, he sustain
ed the' railroads claim to thousands of acres of public
lands and ejected many homesteaders, who had already re
ceived title, because the railroad had filed its desire for the
land, although the choice was not approved for many years
after the patents had been irranted the settlers.
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

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 ,);.

Whenever labor reads the record of
'liarlcs K. I Inches' decisions as u su

remember first is that he eimcuncil
in the decision of (he court in the fa

limn outweighed by the Danbury Hal
ters' decision,
In those mil in uclunl lunch willi I

ie n surprise. II will doubtless sur
prise I luglies.
To uiidoiMiuiil Ibis silualinn it is
cessiiry to M.0 what flu- Danburv
alters' iliciinn means In labor. 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

l"iv enough In. Hn-ir mcmorv -till 'i..
lie lie h. while at the -aiec time their
Xiimly farcical el'leels in iin reusing

nnd llieir own slrunglehohl on their
respective industries could be plainly

.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.

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."
