Court debate on street railway receiver ruling sparks wide contrast
The discussion argues whether a street railway firm can be turned over to a receiver amid labor disputes. Critics call it a confiscation while allies claim it upholds contracts and law. Higher courts have varied on applying such doctrine to public service duties.
The Paramount Issue in the Strike and Liberty
The piece argues that the core issue is the right of every American to work under any conditions they choose and to be protected in that right. It condemns any system that denies this liberty as slavery, cites Jefferson on inalienable rights, and notes remarks by Senator Hanna in Wheeling and Lorimer in Chicago about labor, industry, and political risk.
