a UNITED STATES TO B __STRKERS (Continued From First Page.) to giving of bail and the making of @ number of martyrs whose lips wouldn’t be sealed, but who would only gain in prestige and popularity with the mass of workers whom the daily press does not reach and who would be persuaded to believe that their leaders were being persecuted. On the other hand the Government can deny facilities to the strike lead- ers and make it virtually impossible for them to make the strike effective. The contest which has arisen be- tween the Federal Government on the one hand, and a big labor union on the other hand, {s destined to set- tle one of the most vital principles of the industrial conflict that has troubled America for the last three decades. Ever since the Sherman anti-trust law was passed, union Isbor recognized the possibility that Prosecutions could be conducted egainst labor leaders for agreements to restrain interstate commerce and @hey therefore waged a successful eampaign tn Congress whereby labor | ‘nions and farmers’ organizations ‘were specifically declared to be im- Mune from prosecution by the De partment of Justice with certain Cunds appropriated by Congress. OTHER FUNDS MAY BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE. But while such laws are on the Btatute books to-day they apply oniy to a portion of the department's funds. As President Wilson contended at the time there is nothing to prevent the Department of Justice from using other funds for that purpose. Labor was satisfied at the time with having Obtained sanction by Congress of the principle of tmmunity and didn't con- cern itself with the fact that other funds were available. The moral ef. fect wus such that labor felt sure the ¢ of Justice under no Ad- » would attempt such @ Dopartmer minist Prosecution. But ihe Lever act which was passed for the wartime emergency has been violated by the strike order, according to the view of the Depart: men! of Justice, and no matter if the Peace Treaty were ratified to mDiorrow and the law were to be held fas expired, the act of making an agreement such as the strike order would still be subject to prosecution. Ivcidentally the Congressional Ju- @iciary Committees have before them bills to prolong the term of the Lever Food and Coal Compact for one year after the war jy oMicially declared at an end * ‘Thus is labor, by forcing the issue fn a strike that affects the neces: garies of life and the vitality of in- @ustry, itself slowly alienating Con- gress which is Republican and the executive branch of the Government which ts Democratic. same Wilson Administration which has been friendly to labor and which etioned the passage of @hat famous rider to a general appro- priation bill declaring labor unions immune from prosecution and later {inserted the same sort of prevention fn the Clayton act is now planning to fieht with all its power a strike in the coal fields. While disclaiming that the night to strike itself has been fn any way abridged, it is neverthe Jess true that the Administration is being compelled to draw a distinction between different kinds of strikes Bomething it has hitherto not found necessary to do.

It is difficult to give a true picture of the damage already done by the strike leaders, On the one hand the Department of Justice has been carry- that were keeping up the cost of liv. ing.
