The opinion
*673 Doug-uas, L,
concurring. I concur in the admirable opinion of the Court upon well-settled rules of law as well as the highest principles of public policy and natural right. I can add nothing thereto beyond what has been said in my dissenting opinion in State v. Howard, 129 N. C., 663 . In that case I used the following language: “I do not suppose that any one will deny that the indictment of Parnell was purely for political reasons; and if the English rule prevails in this State, what is there to prevent the indictment of the members of our usual labor organizations ?” A¥hat I then foresaw has come to pass; and it needs not a prophet’s vision to foresee the vast potentialities of evil that would attend the decision of this Court were it other than it is.
We are assured that if we break up the labor organizations there will be no more strikes, and that peace and order will reign throughout the land. When Kosciusko fell and Poland lay once more beneath the Cossack’s heel, Sebastiani announced that “Order reigns in Warsaw”; while Louis Napoleon, in seizing the throne of France, declared that “The Empire is peace.” North Carolinians seek not the peace of despotism, but that peace alone which follows the mutual recognition of equal rights and the impartial enforcement of just and equal laws.
