opinion: "Where the employ-

themselves liable for contempt

Fnder this opinion no matter
how peaceably it inav b" done,
and no matter how far their in
tent ions may be from violence,
employes cannot quit work or
induce others to quii work
without being in contempt d'
court. In the face of this opin-
ion the News think- it absurd
for one t>> contend that the doc
trine of con tempt has been ex-
tended too far. The only court
that I have ever heard of ex-
lending the doctrine of con-
tempt this far, was an Arkan-
sas justice of the peace who,
upon learning that a lawyer
had ' (hissed" the court on the
street fan inalienable right of a
law yer who loses a case (the next
da\ entered a. line for contempt
and when the lawyer pro-
tested that it was not done
In the presence of the court, or
even w hile in session, the jus-
tire justified his decision on the
grounds that the court was at all
times and under all circumstan-
ce . an object of contempt."

d i- (oi iect ! 1 citi/' a -hip of
Texas will have to take to the
woods, or avoid railroad em-
ployes as they would viper*, or
rttu a continual risk of impris-
onment for contempt.
In the hay-day of tyrauy in
England, when the courts and
lawyers Were fhe creatures of
tli" crown, when the law of trea
son was stretched to the utter
im st limit of legal sophism and
human in;.- unity, it required
nioi' of an overt act to consti-
tute • outeinpt under this rul-
ing.
1 believe in upholding the
dignity tiiidconstitutional pow
ers of courts, and punishing all
prcqter contempts; but, under
<1 udge Pardee's opinion a little
quiet talk or ajs-acable bonfab
or confederation with a section
hand, lays a citizen liable for
the otlenme.
