The leaders of the Labor Council practically admit that the carmen acted. in bad faith and called the strike improperly out take the position that Calhoun's attitude is a menace to organized labor and is preventing an adjustment of an industrial disturbance that is detrimentally affecting all classes in the community. We cannot help thinking the labor leaders should have exerted their influence on the leaders of the carmen before the strike was callei. We pointed out at the beginning of this unfortunate struggle that rauj tual good faith is necessarpy the basis of industrial peace and all harmonious relations between employers and employes.

Agreements anust be lived up according to their spirit and letter by both sides if peace andood will are to prevail. Compacts non-enforcible by law are worthless unless their moral obligation is regarded as binding.
