THE BABE IN
TIIK special orffiin of .Mi-. 1 Inches, the (Jrants Pass
Courier, is overworking its surplus brains these
days on political editorials. 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merce court was repealed during the president's term.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.
