presbyterian church when marvin hughitt president of the chicago northwestern company arose and made a vigorous reply to a statement made by professor bemis in his address on the strike and ite lessons professor bemis had said in part if the railroads expected their men to be law abiding they most get the example 1 I do not attempt to justify the strikers said he in their boycott of railroads but railroads themselves not long ago placed an offending railroad under ban and refused to honor tickets or transport of that road such boycotts arp no more to be justified than those of the strikers let there be some equality in these things As soon as the last words of the benediction edic tion had been uttered marvin made a vigorous reply to the professors statement and demanded an instance of a boycott instituted by the railroads mr bemis replied that instances were only too numerous where railroads bad associated to refuse to honor tickets or transport freight over sume of the offending linee but that is not a boycott eald mr professor bemis said that if it was not a boycott lie was willing to let the matter rest after few further remarks by mr the matter was dropped Irela

efforts of law abiding citizens and of public officials made to serve in maintaining public order and guarding at all coats the public welfare labor must learn that however eacret its rights be there ie something above them and absolutely supreme docial order and the laws of public justice there is no civil clime as hideous as pregnant of evil results as resistance to law and the constitutional authority of the country this resistance is revolution it begets chaos it is anarchy disrupts the whole social fabric labor too must learn the lesson that the liberty of tho citizens Is to be one man
