DEBS HAS LOST HIS CASE
Writ of Habeas Corpus Denied
the A. R. U. Leader
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES
Important Opinion Rendered by the j
Highest Tribunal
All the Points Nade by the Government Sus
tained Without a Dissenting Opinion,
lext of the Decision
Associated Press Special Wiro
WASHINGTON. May 27.—The United
States supreme court today denied the
application of Eugene V. Debs, the strike
leader, for a writ of habeas corpus. This
is a victory for the government. No
more important question, with the single 1
exception of the income tax, baa come j
before the supreme court during the past j
year than the attempt of Dobs and other I
Officers of tho American Railway union to j
secure a reversal of sentence to jail by
Judge Woods for interfering with inter
state commerce and running of malls in
the great railway strike last summer.
The decision of the court was read by
Justice Brewer and was unanimous, there j
being no dissenting opinion. All the j
Contentions of the government were slis- .
tamed. The conclusions of the court
Were that the government of the United
btatCS has jurisdiction over every !
foot of soil and over every individual
within the boundaries of the United ;
i-Slatcs, and that while it was of limited
powers, it bad a sovereignty within those j
limitations. It has power to invoke the i
civil courts to remove obstructions to In- '
terstatc commerce, and the civil courts \
had aright to enjoin those who made ob- j
structions to such commerce. The In
junction was to be a bar to criminal 1
processes for acts done in violation of the
injunction. The circuit court having
Anal jurisdiction, its act was not review
able by the supreme court (in petition fo*'
a writ of habeas corpus, and therefore the
writ was denied.
The case has importance beyond the
question of imprisonment of A. li. U.
officials, as tnire is lirgely involved the
principle of the judges having jurisdic
tion oi large interests by virtue of receiv
erships created by them to prevent labor j
troubles through the instrumentality of I
Injunctions. Nearly ono third ot the
railway property being in the hands of j
receivers appointed by federal courts, the |
precedents to Oe established has wide ap !
plication. Technically the applicant for [
writ of ; abeal corpus and certiorari arti
cles from the case in equity ot tho Union j
Trust company against the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe road, since the re- j
ceiversbip under which the circuit court
exercised jurisdiction over the Santa Fe ;
aud its allied roads was created in tho j
ease. On on tho 2d of July, 1894, when
the great railway strike was threatened, 1
the receivers upnlied to Judge Woods of j
the circuit court for tbe northern district j
of Illinois for an injunction against tho :
American Hallway union to prevent it j
from inciting the employees to strike.
Judge Woods signed the paper presented,
which was a sweeping one, enjoining the J
officers oi the union from interfering with
the mails or interstate commerce, or
from destroying property or compelling i
or inducing tbo employees of the road t >
strike by violence or intimidation, or
from aiding 01 abetting them to do any of
these things.
The American Railway union declared
a strike oil the Illinois Central railroad, ;
one of those included in the injunction,
and the events oi that strike are matters
of general knowledge. The officers of tho
union were brought before Judge Woods
fur contempt of court, last December, HJ,
V. Debs, president, was sentenced to six
months in jail, and seven others. (». W. j
Howard, Sylvester Kcliher. L. W. Rogers,
James Hogam, William K. Burn*, Roy M.
Goodwin and Martin J, KHiott, wore ■
sentenced to three months, ft appears I
that tbo injunction had been personally j
served on tne lirst four officers, but Judge
Woods held that its publication in the j
newspapers was sufficient service in itself
for all of the defendants.
An application was made to tho su- j
prerne court for the release of the eight
officers of the union by a writ or habeas
corpus, pending decision of the supreme 1
court having been given their freedom j
under bail. Counsel for Mobs and bis as
sociates base their application on the !
grounds that their sentence without in
dictment aud trial by jury was in violation
of tbo constitution, particularly its lifth i
aud sixth amendments, that the in for- !
mation on which tuey were convicted did 1
not show any violation ot the injunciton; j
also that tho Injunction was void, be- !
cause the hill asking for it slated no case \
of which the court could take cognizance, j
and was in effect a bill by the government ;
ol the I'nited States t-maintain the pub- I
tic peace and enjoin tho violation of the \
penal bode.
The arguments before the supreme
court by C. S. Dai row and Judge Trum
bull for the A. R, 1., and Atomey-Gen
eral Olney ana Assastaut Attorney-Gen
eral Whitney attracted great attention.
The opinion of the court In substance
was as follows:
| The case presented is this: The United j
eta tea finding that tho interstate trans
portation of persons and property, as
well as the carriage of the mails, is forci
bly obstructed, aud that a combination and '
conspiracy exists to subject tho ontrol of I
such transportation to tho will of the !
conspirators, applied to one of the courts
sitting as a court of equity for an injunc
tion to restrain such obstruction and pre
vent carrying into effect such conspiracy,
The questions of importance are present
ed!
Pirst—Are the relations of the general
government to Interstate commerce and
the transportation of tho mails such as
fcUthorlze the direct interference to pre
vent a forcible obstruction thereof?
Second—l f authority exists, as authority
in governmental affairs implies both
power and duty, has a court of equity
jurisdition to issue an injunction iv aid
of the preform anoe of sucu duty?
First—What are the relations of tho
general government to interstate com
merce and the transportation of the
mails? They are those of direct super
vision, control and management. While
under the dual system which preva Is
with us, the powers of government a c
distributed between the state aud the t.a
tion, aud while tho latter is proper y
•rated a government of enumerated pow
ers, yet within the limits of such enumer
ation,, it has ull the attributes of sov
ereignty, and in the exercise of those
enumerated powers acts directly on the
citizen and not through the lintermedite
agency of the state.
Second -Under I he power veste 1 in
congress to establish postoifces and posi
roads, congress Ins by a muss of legisa
tion established the great postoffiOO sys
tem of the country with all its detail of
organization, its machinery for the trans
action of business, denning what shall be
curried and what not, and the price of
carriage and also prescribing penalties for
all offenses against it. Obviously these
powers given to the national government
nver interstate commerce and in respect
lo the transportation of the mails, are not
dormant and unused. Congress had taken
hold of these two matters and by various
and specific acts had assumed and ex
eicised tho power given it. aud was in full
discharge ot its duty to regulate interstate
commerce and carry the mails.
If the inhabitants of a single state or a
great body of them should combine to ob
struct interstate commerce or the trans
portation of tho mails, prosecutions ot
such offenses had in such a community
would be doomed in advance to failure*
And if the certainty of such failure was !
known and tho national government had ■
no other way t i enforce the freedom of [
intcrst. ts commerce an I the transportu
t o:i of mails than by prosecution and {
punishment for intenercuee (herewith, i
the whole Interests oT the nation In thdVc I
respects would be at the ah olute mercy \
of a portion of tho inhabitants of a single j
stat".
Bill there ia no such impot'ney in ihe |
national government. The entire Strength
of the nation may be used to enforce in '
any part ol the laud the full an 1 free ex- '■
erciae of all national powers and ihe se- J
OUrlty of all rights entrusted by the con- j
stitution to its care. The strong admin-
Istration of the nation may be put forth
to brush away all obstructions to the
freedom of interstate com me re 3 and the
transportation ot the mails, if emergency
arises the army of the nation aud all its
militia arc at the service of tltc nation
to compel obedience to the laws.
In the case before us the right to use
force does not exclude the right ol appeal I
to ihe courts for a judicial determination j
and for tho exercise of all their powers of j
prevention. indeed*, it is more to the
prune than to the blame of tho govern
ment th .t, instead of determining for it
self questions of right and wrong on the
part of thes petitioners and their asso
ciates and enforcing that determination j
by the club of the policeman and the nay
onet of the soldlesr, It submitted all those
questions to tbe determination of judi
cial tribunals, and invoked their consid
eration and judgment as though the mea
sure of its rights aud powers ami the co
relative- obi i gat ions ot those against
whom if made complaint. And it is
equally to the credit of the latter that the
judgment Ot those tribunals was by the
great body of them respected and tne
trouble which threatened so much disas
ter terminated. Neither can it be doubt
ed that the government has such an inter
est in the subject matter as enables it to
appear as party plaintiff in the suit. It
is said that equity only interferes for the
protection of property, and that the gov
ernment has no property s interests. A
lurncient reply is that the United states
have a property interest In the mails, ttie
protection of which was one of the pur
poses of this trial.
it is apparent on the lace of this bill j
aud we need not turn to the public his- i
tory of the day, which only reaffirms with '
emphasis all its allegations. The differ
ence between public nuisance and a pri
vate nuisance is that one affects the peo
ple at large and the other simply the in
dividual. Tiie quality of tho wrong is
the same and i he jurisdiction of the
courts over them rests upon the same
principles and goes to the same extent.
The argument in opposition does not
question the jurisdiction of the court,
but onjy the expediency of the action of
tbe government in applying for the pro
cess. It surely cannot be seriously con
tended that the court has jurisdiction to
enjoin on the obstruction of a highway
by one person, but that its jurisdiction
ceases when the obstruction is by a hun
dred persons. It may be true, as suggest
ed, that in the excitement of passion a
mob will pay little heed to processes is
sued from tiie courts, and it is said by
counsel in argument that it would have
savored somewhat of the puerilles ridt
cullis to have made a writ of injunction
to Lee's army during the late civil war.
It is douotless true that ''inter anna
leges silent," and in the throes of the re
bellion or revolution the processrs of the
civil courts are of litlle avail lot the
power of the courts rests on the general
support of the; people ami their recogni
tion of the fact that peaceful remedies
are tho true resort for th* 1 correction of
wrongs. Hut does not counsel's argu
ment imply too much? Is it to bo assum
ed that tliesb defendants weie conducting
a rebellion 01 inaugurating a revolution
or that they and their associates were
thus placing themselves beyond the reach
of the civil process of the courts? What
ever any single individual may have
thought or planned, the great bod fof
those who were engaged in these trans
actions contemplated neither rebcllifon
nor revolution and when in the due order
ot legal proceedings the question of
right and wrong was submitted to the
courts and by them decided, they unhesi
tatingly yielded to their decisions. The
outcome Oy the very testimony of the de
fendants attests tho wisdom of the course
pursued by the government and that it
was well not to oppose iorcc simply by
force, but to invoke tho jurisdiction on
ami judgment of those tribunals io
whom' by the constitution and in ac
cordance with the settled c mvictioii of all
citizens, is committed th.;
of Questions of right and wrong between
individuals, masses and states. A most
earnest and eloquent appeal was made to
us iii eulogy of the heroic spirit of those
who threw up their employment and
geV3 up their means of earning a living,
not in defeu'C of their own rights, but
in sympathy for and to assist others
whom they believed to have been
wronged.
! , We yield to none in our admiration of
any :ct o heroism or self-s icr lire, bit we
may bo permittoi to add that it is a h\--
Bon which cannot lie learned too anon n r
too thoroughly, that unuer this govei'i -
ment and by the people the means of r -
dress of all wrongs are through the com Is
and the ballot box and that wo wrong,
real or fancied, carries with it tbe I gil
warrant to invite as a means of re Ir -ss
tho co-operation of a mob with its ac- i
oompanying acts of violence.
We have given to tnis case most careful j
and anxious attention, for we realize that
it touches closely questions ol supreme
Importance to the peoplo of this c tuntrv .
Summing up out conclusions we hold I
that the government of the United States I
is ono having jurisdiction ovei every;
foot of soil within its territory and act- 1
ing directly upon each citizen; that while 1
it is a government of enumerated powers, ■
it has within the limits or those powers
all tho attributes of sovereignty ; that to it
is committed power over interstate com
merce and the transmission of the mail:
that the powers thus conferred upon the
nations 1 government are not dormant, i
hut havo been assumed and put into j
practical exercise by legislation of con- |
grass; that in the execroise ofjthose pow- 1
ers it is competent for the nation to re
move all obstructions upon highways,
natural or artificial, to the passage oi in
terstate commerce or the carrying ol the
mail; that while it may be competent for
the government (through the executive
branch and in the nss of the entire execu
tive power of the nation) to forcibly re
move all such obstructions, it is equally
within its competency to appeal to the
civil courts for an inquiiy and determina
tion as to the existence una charactei oi
any alleged Obstructions, and if such are
found to exist or threaten to occur, to in
voke the powers of those courts to remove
or to restrain such obstacles; that the

Howard Surrenders
CHICAGO, May 27.—George W. How
ard, the former vice-president of the A.
R, U., was the fir it one of the men to
offer to surrender himself to the United
States marshal and begin his uncomplet
ed sentence.
It was shortly after 2 o'clock when
Howard enV 1 Marshal Arnold's office
and said: I guess you want me, now
that the st pr me court has sustained
Judge Woods j augment."
"Not yet,' replied the marshal. "Wo
must first get the mandate of the su
preme court and that will be a week or
more in reaching here."
"You know where to find rr.e. I can
not go back to Woodstock too quick. I
want to get through with the sentence,"
replied Howard.
Debs Talks
TERRE HAUTE, End., May. 27.— Pres
ident K. V. Debs of the A. P. IT., whose
case was acted upon today by the su
preme court, was seen at his home to
night, and said:
'I expected a favorable decision, but I
am not disappointed. After the decision
by that tribunal upon the income tax bill
[am not at all surprised to see the de
cision of the lower court affirmed in our
ease. Moth decisions aro absolutely in
the interest of the corpoatlons, syndicates
and trusts, which dominate every depart
ment of the government, including the
supremo court*
Debs Will Suffer
WASHINGTON, May 27.—1t is not im
probable, in view of today's decision of
the supremo court, that Eugene V. Debs
and the other officers of the A.R.U., now
under indictment for violations of the
anti-trust and mail obstruction acts, will
not be called upon to stand trial.
Under today's decision Debs will serve
his sentence of six months 111 jail, and it
is thought the government will consider
this a severe punishment without prose
cuting the criminal cases aaginst him or
his associates.
Judge Woods Expresses Himself
CH fCAGO, May 27.— Judge Woods,
whose decision in the Debs case was sus
tained by the supreme court, said to
night : " L cannot understand why crimi
nal proceedings should now bo aban
doned. Of course it grows out of the
commission of the same act, hut in the
one case the men were enjoined from no- !
illg certain things and the punishment of
tho men was for contempt of court; in the
other cases they arc charged under the
criminal law with a violation of that
law.''
