Justice Shlras' Advice.
WE HAVE long; maintained
that before labor unions
can attain the best re
sults for themselves and
for tho public Interest they will need to
become Incorporated. Labor unions seek
to shnre with capital unions the con
trol of industry. But capital unions art:
responsible at law, while labor unions
are not. Until this discrepancy shall
be bridged, the large employing; Inter
ests will continue In many instances to
resist the advances of the labor unions,
especially when they take the form of
demands for term contracts. Some
unions are so conservatively managed
that resistance from employers to con
tract agreements with them has partly
or wholly disappeared; but the number
of such is small In comparison with
the number of those which have not
yet won recognition and the honest
confidence of the businesss world.
We notice that George Shlras, Jr.,
Justice of the United States Supreme
court, Is credited with en opinion to
the same effect. Speaking in Pittsburg
Wednesday to a reporter concerning
the nnthracite miners' strike, he said:
"Arbitration Is the logical method of
settling labor troubles such as this one,
which affects the general prosperity
and comfort of a great section of the
country. The method and enforcement
of this arbitration Is a Subject for the
lawmakers of the nation; but arbitra
tion itself Is logical. There Is now one
great difficulty standing In the way of
nn arbitration law. Many of the labor
unions are not Incorporated. Until they
are no law can be made binding, as no
contract or agreement could be en
forced upon them, while the operators,
on the other hand, could be held liable.
Incorporation of all labor unions Is the
primary step toward the passage of an
arbitration law. The unions must be
responsible for the carrying out of an
agreement, and until they are there Is
little hope for compulsory arbitration
of labor troubles."
It is plainly anomalous that In u civ
ilized country, where courts are open
for the peaceful redress of most of the
grievances of life, no adequate provis
ion exists under seal of law for the
protection of business rights In the
event of a wholesale conflict between
capital and labor. A husband and wife
who, by prolonged quarreling, should
disturb the peace and comfort of a
community could, notwithstanding tho
legal safeguards surrounding the right
of domicile, be compelled to appear in
n court of justice to answer for their
heWlgerency, But the owners of a largo
Industry nml their employes may dis
agree, fight, and Injure not only them
selves but likewise hundreds of thou
sands of neutrals, und there la no ef
fective fonu of governmental Interven
tion, though in the latter Instance tho
need for It is manifestly larger nnd
more Imperative than In tho former.
President Roosevelt In his Incisive
speeches li New England Is calling
public attention to tho growing need of
federal supervisory control over tho
great Incorporations, commonly called
trusts, ' which In recent years liavo
sprung up with enormous power, alike
for goojl,.und for evil; and In the gen
crul view" ho Is Interpreted to refer to
combinations of capitalists for enter
prise or for extortion. Hut nothing
which ho says as to the possibilities of
mischief In vast centralizations of capi
tal Is Inapplicable likewise to tho Im
mense jtnlonsof laboring men rece'ntly
come Into being; ' nor can either bo
overlooked tf the law 'is to treat all
citizens anil groups of citizens Impar
tially. When men-combine to found nn In
dustry.'thelr Incorporation Is, or should
be, a public and tangible guarantee of
good f.jjth. U commits them, under the
law, toJ,well defined responsibility and
liability. If tho law surrounding their
Incorporation Is not sufficiently exact
to protect public Interest and afford
safeguards against public evil doing,
amendment of the law Is always pes
B(blo wlien sufllelently demanded' by
public sentiment. But the average labor
union tuay has legally no such posi
tion, It can neither sue nor be sued.
The consequence Is that when It gets
Into thq control of unfit men, its sub
stantial members are frequently power
less to bring it into a correct attitude,
and many employers are afraid to
trust It.
Justice Shlrus' advice to labor unions
to Incorporate is founded, wo believe,
Upon a rapidly growing conviction thnt
unless they shall do so they will prove
themselves unable In the long run to
cope MiocoFSfiltly with the great Incor
porations of capital which are rapidly
gaining the mastery over Aincrjcan In
dustry. It comes from a source free
from prejudice or bins nnd thereforo
merits thoughtful consideration.
There seems to bo quite a discrepancy
between tho statement of Mr. Mitchell,
"that the union minors have never tried
to prevent non-members from working,"
and the stories given by tho men who
write the pross reports of disorders In
tho Panther Creek region.
Ona Lesson Yet to Be Learned.
Pit K HIDHN'T MITCHHLL'B
statement that "the members
of the minors' organization
have never sought to prevent
non-union members from working with
them In the mines," coupled with his
assertion that "they have no Intention
of seeking to abridge the right of any
mine workers to become or not to be
come n member of the organization In
tho future," constitutes an Interesting
contribution to strike literature.
' Issued in reply to the letter of Mr.
Hewitt, It misses tho laller'n main
point, thnt non-union men are now
being prevented by union men from ex
ercising their right to work without in
terference. It would hardly be possible
for Mr. Mitchell or anybody else to
deny that there Is such Interference.
If there were not, there would be no oc
casion for troops or mine guards to be
In the field nor would the papers con
tain, as they do, dally reports of violent
Interference. Only yesterday the Phila
delphia North American, a paper cer
tainly not unfriendly to the miners'
cause, printed conspicuously this dis
patch from Mt. Carmel:
Becatibo her son wns a non-union work
man, six pall bearers at tho funeral of
the lato Mrs. Manilla WortulUH, of this
plnce. today refused to bear her body to
the grave. Tho pall bearers were all
union men, and when they were told
that the dead woman hud a son working
at ono of tho collieries, they refused to
act.
This, of course, was not an official
act of tho miners' union. It had no
sanction from Mr. Mitchell or any- of
his subordinates in the organization
over which he presides. It was Individ
ual. So are most, if not all, of the fre
quently occurring Instances of violence
perpetrated upon non-union men by
members of or sympathizers with the
union. And It may be that the numer
ous local strikes and threats of strikes
which last year took place 'throughout
the anthracite region In consequence
of the refusal of many operators
to permit representatives of the
union to 'stand at the entrance to
the mine and enforce nn Inspection of
working cards issued by the union were
due to individual and local feeling and
were not In pursuance of a policy hav
ing the sanction of the entire organiza
tion. Our information on these points
is not exact.
But a state of feeling producing such
acts must be reckoned with not less
than the authorized claims and de
mands of the miners' organization. Our
own opinion is that the union idea hus
come to stay in the coal fields. We do
not think that It can be eliminated, no
matter how the present strike ends.
And If it can be divested of unfair
features and educated Into lines of a
better usefulness, Its elimination would
be a loss, not only to the men but also
to the companies and to the public.
In the long run we think that It will
be so divested and educnted. While
perfection is hardly to be expected In
any direction, It is noticeable that ex
cesses have been fewer during this
strike, at least In the vicinity of Scran
ton, than during either of the preceding
long strikes In the history of the mining
industry fewer in number and smaller
in size. The room for improvement,
however, Is yet very large; and ono
thing especially which has to be learned
Is that no abridgement by any In
fluence of the right to work can be
tolerated in a country calling itself free.
The reports of shocking automobile
Occidents that reach us nearly every
day of course cannot bo expected to
have any effect in reducing the exuDer
miw of some of tho men who occupy
seats in those infernal machines of
snow-plow aspect. It would be no fun
fnp one of the scorching automobile
owners to travel on the streets ut a
rate of speed under fifty miles an hour.
Trusts and the tariff.
IN VIEW of the turn which the
discussion of trusts has taken
and also In view of the attempt
of certain political influences to
create a confusion In public opinion,
certain facts are worthy of frequent re
iteration, i
The first trust successfully lnsjl luted
In tills country was the Standard OH
company. There Is no tariff duty on
petroleum. Some persons say there Is
an anthracite coal trust. There is no
tariff duty on anthracite coal.
Henry W. Mncrosty, a well-known
ISngllflh authority, In his recent work
on "Trusts and the State," says:
"Great Britain has u trust movement
of her own, which does not originate
from American example, but is native
to the soil. Let It further bo remem
bered that Britain Is free trade. Tho
Nobel Dynamite trust was founded In
18S2, and Is highly successful. If wo
tako the ordinary criterion of a trust,
that H must control about 70 per cent,
of the business of Its trade or district,
then wo can reckon about forty such
combinations, whoso total capitaliza
tions runs up to 45O,00O,O00, and this
figure Is qulvalent to double tho sum
In America In tho Iron and steel In
dustries, we find Inrgo firms trying to
make themselves self-contained by the
absorption of ancillary business, so
that everything may bo In their own
hands, from tho extraction of raw ma
terial to the sale of finished articles,
A round dozen such firms have a total
capitalization of $125,000,000. This form
of combination Is spreading rapidly,"
Tho trusts of Germuny are equally
well known. Theie exists among the
coal mining Industries seventeen differ
ent combinations; in the Iron indus
try, eighty; metal Industry, fifteen;
chemical works, eighty-two, and var
ious other syndicates, ''selling agree-
menls," nnd knrlcls numbering alto
gether nearly 350. Tho effdrt now on
Toot Is to bring together the. various
kartels of the lron( metal nnd coal In
dustry. Consul General Mason report
ed nearly four hundred of such combi
nations In 1SDT, but Blnco that time, by
larger consolidations, tho number, ho
nays, has been reduced nenrly one-half.
He has nlfo explained how bounties,
up to $3 a ton, were paid by the plate
syndicate, the wlro rod syndicate, as
sisted by tho coal, coke, pig Iron nnd
steel syndicates, "when the mills
shpuld provo that their products are
shipped nbrond." It Is thus Bhown
that thpso syndicates pay heavy boun
ties on exports, and it Is further proved
beyond question that even with this
aid' tho exported product Is sold abroad
for less than cost In many cases. That
Is the kind of. competition our people
have in meet where they nre not pro
tected by tho tariff.
It may be necessary some of these
days to revise the tariff, conservative
ly. But the trusts will not be per
mitted to hide behind the tariff nnd
demand thnt it be pulled to pieces be
fore they can be reached.

Tho report goes on to say: "The In
crease of population In Germuny and tho
United States has recently been greater
than the Increase in the United Kingdom,
nnd thoso countries have rapidly devel
oped manufacturing nnd Industrial power.
As with ourselves, so with those coun
tries, the set of population litis been to
the towns; necessarily, therefore, there
has been a more vigorous search than
formerly for an outlet for tho power
ubovo referred to. We are still nhend of
either country In our power of manufac
ture for export, but beginning from a
lower level, each country Is traveling up
wards more rapidly than we are who oc
cupy a higher eminence. If peace Is
maintained, both Germany nnd the Unit
ed States are certain to Increase their
rato of upwatd movement. Their compe
tition with us in neutral markets, nnd
even In our homo matkets, will probably,
unless we ourselves nre active, become
Increasingly serious. Every year will add
to their acquired capital and skill, nnd
they will have laigor and lnrger addi
tions to their population to draw from.
"The Increase of 17,000,000 In the town
population of tho United States between
1870 and 1900 exceeds by 7,000,000 the total
Increase of tho population of the United
Kingdom In the same period.
"Both in raising coal and producing pig
iron, therefore, nn outlet would appear
to havo been found to some extent for tho
annually Increasing numbers of the popu
lation available fpr Industry nnd manu
facturing In Germany and the United
States; and It cannot be said that the
predominance or even tho pre-eminence
of tho United Kingdom are nny longer
what they were, as fnr ns these old
fields of Industry are concerned.
"Wo hnve lost ground, proportionately,
in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile nnd China,
though tho percentage loss Is in each
case small, and In each of these coun
tries tho United States have gained
ground. In the Japnnese trnde we linve
lost moro heavily, our sharo of Japan's
Imports having declined from 33 to 21 per
cent.; while tho United States' share hns
Increased from S to 15 per cent.; the vnluo
of the wholo Japanese Import trade being
now about 5130,000,000 per annum. In tho
case of our colonies, also, though we are
still retnlnlng the lion's share, Germany
has made somo trilling gnlns, while the
United Slntcs have Inci eased their hliaie
of tho Australian and South Alrlcnn
trades apparently nt our etpeii3e. The
snmo has to bo said with regard to the
United States nnd British shares of tho
trado of British North America, tho
British West Indies, and British Gulnnn."
This Inst paragraph is particularly In
teresting to us, ns It ndmlts thnt wo nro
making some headway In trade with our
water-reached customeis, but It Is easy
to foresee how much larger tho figures
will ho in our favor when wo havo n suf
ficient number of neenn going steamships,

THE PHILOSOPHY OF DESPAIR.
Dr. David Starr Jordan has In press for
publication by Elder & Shupard, San
Francisco, "Tho Philosophy of Despair,"
an essay embodying the reply of Sclonco
to pessimism, taking for his text certain
quatrains of Omar Khuyyam. Tho fol
lowing selection from his introductory
lines will best Indicate tho point of lew:
"In tho presence of tho inllnito problem
of life, tho voice of Science Is dumb, for
Science Is tho coordinate nnd coi reeled
expression of human cxpcilonce, and hu
man exporlenco must stop with tho limi
tations of human life, It Is my
purposo hero to Indlcuto somo part of the
answer of Sclonco to tho Philosophy of
Despair. Direct reply Sclonco has none.
Wo cannot arguo against a singer or a
poet. Tho poet slnss or what ho feels,
but Science speaks only of what wo Know,
Wo feel Infinity but wo cannot know tt,
for to tho highest human wisdom the tiltl
mnto truths of tho unlvorhu nio no nearer
than to the child. Science knows no ulti
ma, to truths. These nio beyond tho icueh
of mun. and all that man knows must ho
stated In terms of his experience. But
us to human exporlenco and conduct Bel
euco has a word to say, Therefore, Bel
onco can speak of tho causes nnd results
of pessimism. It can touch the practical

tain questions, tho answers to which Ho

Tho beauty and forco pf tho easny nro

hut tho following quatrains nro typical
allko of tho rugged stylo and of tho op
timism which Science has to offer!
"Tho llfo of man Is dynamic, not static,
not a condition, but a movement. 'Not

higher Judgment; tho growth of a stnbll.

rellex of It. Pessimism mlses from tie.
preHslon or Intuition or failure of the
nerves. It Is a symptom of lowered vital

"Tliera la a philosophical pessimism
over and above nil ineicly physical condi
tions nnd not dependent on them. But
tho melancholy Jacques of our ordinary
expei lenco either uses somo narcotic or
etlmubnt to excess, or clso has trouble
with his Hvor or kidneys.
"Not tho ultimata truth which Is God's
alone, but the highest nttulnuule truth
Is the aim of Science, and to trunslite
Science Into Virtue U the goal of civiliza
tion. .
"Today Is your tiny nnd mine! the only
