| Text | [editorial matter] President Day, of the New York Club, comes out plump against the classification rule. He opposed its adoption in the first place and has been sore against it ever since, because he was badly used up in the debate upon it at the League meeting and utterly routed when it came to a vote; and his present stand will therefore create no surprise among his colleagues. Of course he has a right to his opinion, but he has no right to publicly inveigh against the rule on the ground that in its application it has been a failure, and that it has been evaded. A penalty of two thousand dollars is attached for violation of the rule, and if Mr. Day, or any member of the Brotherhood, know of any violation of the rule it is their duty to bring such violation to the attention of the League, in order that the dignity of the law, so long as it is a law, may be upheld and the offenders duly punished. It is a very easy matter to charge evasion, (which, by the way, involves rank perjury); the thing is to particularize and made the charge good. Let us have hard facts instead of vague innuendo. |
