An injured parly may also iceover dainujies under he actIn look ing at thu labor question one fei-s that both blacklisting and boycut ting should bu avoided. One interferes with the rights uf labor and thu other with the rights of capital. Doth aro wrong. IS Nr.miAsKA to be turned into a national seminary for the educat'on of pedagogues ?
