Judge Metcalf on

to Strike. R
in the trial of the strikeers convicted of sedition at Winnipeg

in which case sentence is to be delivered next week Judge Metcalf
cies tine interesting statements when charging the jury. We
oe the matter of strikes, and the contention that there was
a time when the workers could persist in claiming that they had
the right to carry on a Dominion-wide strike, his lordship said
that any man who claimed that the strike of last summer was
a lawful strike assumed great responsibility. Counsel in question
had admitted the distribution of a class of literature, a sample
of which was now in the court as exhibits, and counsel stood in
this case to justify Ivens’ action in defying the law of censorship.
The jury knew what had taken place. As a King’s counsel, he
thought Mr. Trueman had taken upon himself a grievous re-
sponsibility. “I am here for the purpose of instructing you on
the law. We all have our functions. You as the jury have to
consider the facts. But you have to apply the law to the facts,
and I have already told you that my function is to keep order in
this court and to tell you what the law is. You should take my
statement of the law as correct. If wrong, and the accused are
thereby injured, justice could be done, but the action of counsel
has been such that I feel that I must instruct you fully upon the
law. My charge, therefore, will be of great length.

Question of Law,

Not of Justice.
His lordship said the question was not whether labor was

entitled to try to better its position, or what was to become of
capitalism, or the present social system? “The question is: Are
some men guilty, under our law, of doing or going among others
to do, or cause others to do, the unlawful acts charged? That
is our question. It is very simple. This is a court of justice which
is bound by the law as it stands, and not by the law as the accused
say it ought to be. Therefore, we have nothing to do with the
supposed law of natural justice unless it be a part of the law
of the land. It is the function of parliament to make the law.
This parliament has done. It is the function of parliament to
amend the law so as to do justice and satisfy the popular desire.
Until parliament has changed its laws, we must in the perform-
ance of our duty follow the laws, otherwise-we would have mob
rule and chaos. We have, therefore, to administer justice ac-
cording to the law of the land and not otherwise.

“If you were to pay attention to the law as laid down by
counsel for the crown and counsel for the defence and also pay
attention to the law as laid down by the presiding judge, then
the devil knows not what the law would be that you have in your
minds. I again say that I must instruct you in law, and that you
must pay attention to that instruction only.”

Calgary Convention
Condemned by Judge.
After having called attention to the reports that had been

accused, his lordship said that the jury if they read the resolu-
tions would be justified in coming to the conclusion that, the
convention was endeavoring to bring about a drastic. change in
the form of the government of Ganada. ‘‘There is,’’ said he, “an
indicated preference for the soviet form of government; also
for a proletarian dictatorship; also for strikes; also for the or-
ganization of the workers for the purpose of such demands as
they thought necessary; also, it was stated the general organiza-
tion should be proceeded with great vigor; also that there should
be a general strike somewhere about the first of June.’ ‘The
evidence of intention could be gathered, he said, from the reso-
lutions passed calling for the repeal of orders-in-council; en-
forcing the release of certain prisoners in jail; for the with-
drawal of the troops from Russia. “A strike for any such pur-
pose as this,’ commented his lordship, “tis wholly illegal and is
not covered by the privilege granted by the law to labor strikes.”
“It is hard to understand,” he continued, “any one with the in-
telligence of the accused would not know a general strike for
such a purpose was not lawful. As a matter of fact the~con-
vention was warned by two of its members that they were likely
to get into jail, and the remarks of Kavanagh may justify you
‘the jury) in coming to the conclusion that they all considered
that the workers themselves would be sufficient protection to
keep the workers out of jail whether they were law breakers
or not.”

Protection of Courts
Against Attacks.

Speaking of attacks made on the courts in public speeches
and writings of some of the accused, the judge said:

“Perhaps the courts of this province are sunk so low as to
deserve the hatrtd and contempt of the people or anybody else.
That is a matter for you. It means I am here to do the bidding
of the monster capital and that the judges and the courts are
here to do that. Gentlemen, that is for you. In one way it is
for you and in one way only. You may think these courts have
reached such a stage as to be beneath the contempt of the public;
that you desire these courts no longer to exist; but the question
you have to consider is was there a seditious conspiracy to do
away with the courts, not only here but throughout the Dominion
of Canada.

“You may think I am taking this matter with a personal bias
and prejudice. I want to tell you that personally I do not care.
If the public of this country want these statements concerning
their judiciary to be sent broadcast over the country for the pur-
pose of educating the thugs, if the people who should take care
do not take care about the attacks in literature and newspapers
on the judiciary; if they do not take care what is said in parlia-
ment under the cowardly privilege that’ exists, the sooner the
courts are swept away the better. That is all 1 have to say.”’
