Show y ili UNION LABOR t tj lit j DEPARTMENT 1 t j 1 I Under the Auspices I of the If OGDEN TRADES ASSEMBLY 1 f 1 JUSTICE We rC hoar these days da 8 about jus Jima justice tice hut but it has lias been so 10 long since we have seen tho the real article we doubt douht very much If IC we would be able ablo to Lo o rec recognize recognize It fl it Especially Is this true trite In regard to labor disputes and wherein the poor rare are pitted against the no rich richAnd richAnd And Amid let lot us its say we have no flu objection to one becoming wealthy wealth if he does docs so honestly hones ti Y But In order to get bet a little under understanding understanding standing of what we mean lot let us de do define dofine fine the tho word vord Justice It Is first the quality of or being heng Just The rendering to everyone his duo IhlO right or desert practical conformity to the laws and principles of rectitude In the toe dealings of men with each oth other othel other er el honesty honest Integrity l In iii commerce or mutual intercourse strict conformity to right and obligation rectitude In Impartiality Second to truth and amid a lie I reality rc equal quill distribution of right In expressing opinions fair representation tion of facts respecting merit or de demerit demerit merit Now we wo wish to treat this subject in Its relation to labor hi III Im tho tIme light of recent events cents In the first place If all men were possessed pos essed of the quality of tf being just or were disposed to t render rendel to everyone his due clue there thero would would be bo no need of tile the establishment of tribunals for the administration of oc justice or equity hut but such Is not hot the case hence these tribunals The Th courts therefore are presumed to be so versed in the science of law lawor lawor lawor or to be sufficiently familiar with the tho laws customs anti and the rights of men menor menor I or possess such knowledge of them as asIs asIs asis Is necessary for tho the administration of or justice I That most courts are so informed or that they possess such knowledge I Is beyond question but that many man of oC them do clo not use equal distribution list of right In Iii expressing opinions is just as evident to us Of course courts aro are composed of human beings possessed of human bunion nature and It is ishuman ishuman human to err We Te can cnn forgive an hone hon honest I est cst mistake but bitt we cannot lightly 11 g b pass over Oer a deliberate rate violation of the tho principle Involved hence we say sa that i not all courts are sincere aud and free from the influence of those evils which surround them That this is a just conclusion may mar maybe marbe be 10 by bv b a comparison of de tie decisions rendered in trust and labor cases C It seems that some of or our courts endeavor or are arc willing to make fish fisi L I of one and ancl flesh of the other for fec some decisions handed down in iii trust cases are so dissimilar to those in labor cases For vor Instance when the thc Standard St Oil was sas brought to book hook for In I t of f trade when railroads were found guilty of ol rebating when tIme the fluent and audi other othet trusts were convicted of accepting re rebates rebates rebates bates and anti of being heing heln In conflict with the tho antitrust an law ia They Tho publish just L what they lie tho
