Jn a recent issue it devotes nearly a whole column to tho railroad strike, and makes out, as it seems to believe, and probably does, that if a strike occurs, President Wilson will lie to Maine, just as he was for the Herman invasion of 15elgiuiii. The reason the brilliant writer gives is that, the act creating the com merce court was repealed during the president's term. I'll is court, the Courier asserts, was created to settle labor questions and strikes. We quote the Courier to show Mr. Hughes the wisdom of his chief .journalistic supporter: The I'nlted Slates commerce court was established lp order to make up ihe very dlfficiency In the Interstate commerce commission of which the employes today complain, and which is the chief reason for their unwillingness that the commission handle their trouble. With tlie com merce commission decisions and orders of the interstate commerce com mission were handled with expedition and the loiiK dcluv In tlie courts suffered today were eliminated. With such efficiency of business estab lished, the 4H0,imiIi emnloyes today involved would willingly have their wage and hour troubles taken up by a board of men, who are experts in all phases of railroad problems. Such men make up the interstate com mission. Four years ago we were well on needs. Constructive statesmanship of the republican party hud supplied the demands we see today. The following administration, to show Its Independence," cut off the remedy, forts to meet an emergency. .More real need of the nation. . The truth is that the commerce court had as much jur isdiction to prevent strikes and settle labor troubles' as it has to deal with pear Might and scale. The act creating the commerce court confined its jurisdiction to the re traint or enforcement of the orders of Ihe interstate com merce commission and some other matters relating to for eign commerce and commerce between the states under section ,'i of the act approved February .19, 190: 5. There is not in any statute, nor ever was, any word that gave the commerce court any jurisdiction over the strike situation. .'ot one of the boards or commissions that ex isted under the Taft administration to settle labor troubles were affected by Ihe repeal of the law providing the com merce, court. II' the interstate commerce commission had any power over such matters it still has, and if under the "constructive statesmanship" the interstate commerce commission had any such power, the commerce court could not in any way have had a voice in it, because it had no such jurisdiction under the law originally or upon appeal. Tlie act creating the court was repealed with hardly a dissenting vote, as republicans and democrats were all dissatisfied with it. During its brief period it was noted for its injurious interference with orders of the interstate commerce commission, in favor of t he raiiroads. Of seven cases appealed from the commerce court to the supreme court, but, one was affirmed, and the remainder were re versed. Before President Taft went out of office he favored the abolition of the court. AVlien it comes to politics, the. ( 'ourier is as helpless as a babe lost in the woods. Somebody should go to its rescue. Jt has probably never occurred to the Courier that to invest any tribunal with power to fix wages and working hours for the laborer is what the laborers of this country will never submit to. To allow courts to reach out with the arm of the law and compel men and women to work for employers, even for the highest wages and for shortest hours, would be slavery. A slave is a slave, whether he be surrounded with lux ury and ease or exist in squalor and wretchedness, when ever he is not permitted to choose his employer, or contend against what he believes is wrong and for what he believes is justice. The quest ion of wages for the laborer must always be settled by agreement among the parties. Kven under gov ernment ownership, tin! right of the laborer who is a citizen to agitate and contend for the betterment of his condition is necessary to the existence of free institutions, for when the citizen can no. longer act in behalf of his own interest it will be useless for him to think of his own welfare. Hut these thoughts do not concern the Courier, because it doubtless believes that all questions will be settled hv "protection to our infant industries," which Mr. Hughe's is about to make his campaign issue, after finding 1 he pub lic was with the president on the Mexican question.
