This Is tlu> summary, declared with all cmpliasia, v,itb v.hieh Frederick Judsnn* the .ujiln.'ut attorney of St. Louis, cloai'3 Ida article, ' ‘The Labor Decisions of Judge Taft," in the Re- view of Reviews, Tills defense, in answer to the re ports cimtiafcol by enemies of th e , Roosevelt administration and Secre tary Taft’s, candidacy,-that Secretary Taft was uufi loudly to organized labo r, when he sat a s "judge upon the s«. periqr and federal benches, comes- dl rect, practically, from the ranks of organized labor. Frederick Judson for year's has beep in the employ of labor unions as chief COUPSd. lie has appeared for several ' of the railway brotherhoods- recently in cases where their rights were deep ly involved. He has won legal vie* lories for them and. has gone down to defeat with them. Therefore, the foregoing defense of Secretary.Taft can almost, be termed a defense by or ganized labor, Analyzes His Decisions, in his article Mi’. Jurtson goes over - the judicial career of air, Taft and analyzes in order all Of the cases in volving labor questions he has passed on. ■ The first case was in 1S90, when ■Judge Tdft was on the sitperior hench of Cincinnati. A bricklayers’ union, after boycotting an employer with whom it was 'in dispute, declared a secondary, boycott against another firm because it sold lime to this em ployer. The unwisdom of involving innocent -third parties in labor dis putes is now generally recognized by intelligent, labor unionists. In 189,'i Judge Taft, by this time on the federal bench, reannounced practically the same doctrine in the Toledo & Ann Arbor railway case. The Brotherhood • engineers of the Toledo road were on- a strike. The engineers of connecting railways, also members of. tho Broth erhood, acting under Rule 12 of the. ' Brotherhood, refused tp receive from or deliver any cars to the Toledo road. - 1 The court’ said that while' it was the privilege of the Engineers oil .the con necting railways to quit singly, or col lectively,1s o ’ long as "they wei’o em- ■ployed ,in interstate commerce they could not combine to refuse to per-, form a duty incident to interstate' commerce sueli as the delivery of caridl to another road. The Brotherhood re- . jttde 12 , and since that gotten,;; than beta*®, f t hi row ’jfdfncnv'IeSgw that the nils was an Irritating non necessity, and- had the effect of en larging rather than of restricting the field of trouble. The third case was . the commitment ot-Phclan, one OXthe Debs lieutenants, for contempt In 1801, \yhen ho defied a restraining order forbidding illegal interference with the business of , the Cincinnati Southern railway, then in the hands of a receiv1-’ er appointed by the federal court. In this case Judge Taft made the follow ing lucid statement .of tho rights or - j —tire -labor -organizations, nften..rjnoted. by attorneys of labor unions when .urging other judges to dissolve in junctions: ^Jtights of Unions. "Tite employes of tho receiver had the right to •organize into or join a labor union Wlijch Would t&ko action as to the terms' of their employment. It is a beneflt to them and to the ptih- lic that laborers should unite for tliehl common interest and for lawful pur poses. They have labor to sell, If they stand together, they are often able, all of them, to obtain better prices f o r . their labor than dealing singly with rich employers, because the necessities of the single employe may compel him to accept any price that is offered. The accumulation of a fund for those who feel that the wages offered are below tho legitimate market value of suclr labor is desir able. They have the right to appoint officers who shall advise them as to the course to be taken in relations with their employers. They may unite with other unions. The officers they . appoint, or any other person they, choose to listen to, may advise them as to the proper course to he taken, both in regard to their common em ployment; or if they choose to appoint anyone, he may order them on pain of expulsion from the union peaceably to leave the employ of their employer because any of the terms of the em- ----- ployment nroriffiSatlrtfactor-jV- Recognition of Labor* Here la a definite recognition of the righto of labor to organize* to strike la concert, to take common cause’with other unions, and to accumulate indus trial war funds, Officers they appoint or any other person they choose to listen to may freely counsel with them. Even the walking delegate la heid within tho Jaw when he orders men to leave their employment on penalty of. expulsion from,tho union 1£they refuse. tipon tho publication of the Hudson article, tho official organs of a largo number of different labor organiza tions reprinted from it and commented upon it most favorably.
