At critical moments the court has even reversed itself, as in the income tax cases. In ,a .judicial: way. its members freely combat one another’s views arid publish conflicting opinions.' And after they have rendered decisions it has happened more than once that congress has passed newu legisla tion to get around those decisions and has submitted amendments to the constitution which state legis lature^ have ratified, to the end that measures banned by the su preme court shall be made pos sible.^ What has happened be fore "may happen many times againr . “The constitution is not un changeable and the supreme court is not an immovable bar to prog ress under the constitution,” says the World. “But what seems so terribly to alarm Mr. Coolidge is ihe suggestion that one- justice, or possibly two, serving to make up a narrow, majority of the supreme courtr^^ir not necessaril^be al ways; cm obstacle that cbngress jan not eu,rmourif.

A. Appleton, secretary cf. the General Federa tion of "Trade Unions, in the quar terly report of that organization. Secretary Appleton refers to this oversight as “A Neglected Centenary.” “Perhaps this year- of 1924 finds us too busy trying to dis cover why the millennium has not arrived-—as the result of the political changes which have tak en place-^-to leav,e any time to celebrate the centenary of the greatest liberating event of all time,” Secretary Appleton said. “I wonder whether many peo ple realize today how tragic’ were the industrial conditions prior to the passing of the act of 1824? Not only were trade unions illegal ittstitiitidhs whose existence were condemnablexby laws passed dur*. Ing centuries of feudal control ' ifrcff: antaednistic legisl^ton,/ but the penalties against those who | attempted to form trade unioiis were savagely drafted and sav agely executed. f # “t was. illegal even to hold ; meeting to consider, wages dr to collectively approach an employ er for the purpose of drawipg his attention to wages, or hours, or working conditions. Whatever then existed in the shape of trade unionism, existed Illicitly, in se cret, and in fear. Whatever wages were agreed upon were subject to wicked depreciation through the truck system, which .employer powder, to *sirt>r stitute jirbbish for- cash. “Tiroes were as bad as bad could be.. People were almost made with suffering. - Compari sons between prices and wages indicate the depth to which the standard of existence had fallen for most of the people engaged in industry. Improvements Were imperative, fyut improvements were almost impossible in view • of the 'brutal ignorance prevail ing, "of the legal restrictions and i the cultivated antagonisms. “If there is one thing above all others which trade unionists ought to rejoice over, ahd to celebrate, iSjfhe centenary of the passing of an act that repealed those Haws which,; for so many years, pre vented any collective expression of working-class opinion or any collectiye action on matters con nected with employment, with ' wages and with conditions.
