JOHN W DA VIS In Congress He Took Prominent Part in Fights on Tariff, Rights of Labor, Recall of Supreme Court and Liquor Question,

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS v John IV". Davis, son of John Janies and Anna Kennedy Davis, was bom in Clarksburg. W. Va.. April 13, 1873. He received B. A. and Bachelor of Law degrees from Washington and Lee University by the age of 22. His first’wife, formerly Miss Julia McDonald of Charlestown. W. Va.. died in 1900 In 1906 Davis was elected president of the West Virginia State Bar Association. In 1910 he was elected U> Congress from the First District in West Virginia. CHAPTER V. .•J3HILE not exactly a “stormy \U petrel" In Congress. John W. Davis. Representative from West Virginia, took prominent part In at least four Important political fights, centering around the tariff, the riglits of labor, the recall of United States Supreme Court decisions and the liquor question. The first blow he struck after stepping into the national political arena was against the Payne-Aldrich bill, providing for a high protective tariff. The measure had been bitterly opposed In, both House and Senate, branded as “a rich man’s tariff.” This was the theme of his first speech in the House, delivered in June, 1911, after the tariff war had been raging for about two years. Flayed Tariff In this speech he woolen manufacturers and hinted at the influences that had been brought to bear to secure the tariff measure’s passage. Though a Democrat, he lauded Republican Senator La Follette and "other distinguished members of the Republican party who have Joined with Democrats in the great chorus of disapproval.” But despite efforts of Davis, the Payne-Aldrich tariff remained in effect until cut down by the Underwood measure, passed under President Wilson's Administration. Davis went into his second congressional battle as a champion of organized labor, upholding the right to strike and attacking the practice indulged in by many lower court Judges of issuing injunctions to prevent it. The capital-labor controversy in Congress had been precipitated by \ Judge Grosseup’s decision in , the j Debs’ case, arising from the Illinois j Railroad strike. Union workmen j were white-hot with rage. A bill was Introduced in the House to curb the use of the court injunction as a weapon of capital. Davis spoke—- " When capital and labor clearly understand each other's rights, the first step on the road to industrial peace will have been taken.” he said. ‘What reason is there for refus Ing the right of an employer to dis charge his workmen, and the right of the workmen to leave the service of an employer? These rights are hbove and beyond control bv any process of injunction. Fought Injunctions "Would any employer tan ?ly submit to a court order which compelled him to retain in his service a man whose labor was no longer useful to him? Can any man be compelled to labor again t his will?

HIS Lira STORY

If the employer breaks a contract by discharging his employe, or If the employe breaks a contract by leaving his employer, the remedy is in action for damages. "The right to strike has won its way agAinst the judicial opposition of a hundred years. The right of peaceful picketing is imbedded In the law." The anti-injunction bill passed the House by an overwhelming vote. In 1912 Davis acted as one of the seven managers for the House in the impeachment of Judge R. W. Archibald, and In scoring Archibald he laid down rules to govern all officeholders. He said: “No man can -justly be considered fit for public office of whatever rank or kind who does not realize the double duty resting upon him—first, to administer his trust with unflinching honesty; and second,. to so conduct himself that public confidence in him shall remain unshaken. “A public man, it Is true, may be chaste as ice and pure as snow and not escape suspicion. Try as he may he cannot always avoid putting iiinWelf In any position to which suspicion can reasonably attach. v "More cannot be expected of him, but nothing else should be permitted.” (More Next Issue)
