Here are a few points that will "floor" any defender of labor injunctions: Frcm the foundation of our government, injunctions have been recognized for the protection of property. Sec tion 917 of the United States Revised Statutes empowers the supreme court to prescribe rules for its application. Rule 55, promulgated in 1866, provides that special injunc tions shall be grantable only upon due notice to the other party Labor injunctions are capitalistic applications of jus tice, masking under a hypocritical love for courts. The labor injunction was invented by Alex Smith, at torney for the Ann Arbor railway in the strike of 1894. It was applied by Federal Judge Taft, who committed Frank Phelan to jail for six months, and since then near ly every court has granted these writs on demand. Labor injunctions are not authorized or recognized by any legislature. Labor injunctions deny workers a trial by jury a right accorded the meanest criminal. Labor injunctions outlaw acts committed at strike times but legal at all other times. Labor injunctions empower the court to act a3 law maker, judge and executioner. Labor injunctions class workers as property. Labor injunctions make no distinction between proper ty rights and personal rights. Labor injunctions rest on the theory that when an ac tion by workers injures property, fundamental personal rights can be enjoined. Labor injunctions protect dollars at the cost of a free press and free speech. Labor injunctions disregard the wrongs of workers in a desire to protect gold. Labor injunctions are issued on the sole affidavits of men who place spies in unions. , Labor injunctions class the patronage of workers and sympathizers as a property right that cannot be jeopar dized by a statement of facts. Labor injunctions still the voice of protest against the grinding policy of unfair employers. Labor injunctions differ from injunctions for the pro tection of impersonal rights. Labor injunctions guess a violation of the criminal code will be committed. Labor injunctions are strike-time "laws." Labor injunctions are not entitled to the respect of a liberty-loving people. Labor injunctions are judge-made laws, thanks to Wil liam Howard Taft. Toledo Union Leader. CENTRAL LABOR UNION. Unanimously Endorses the Political Program of the Federation. - At Its meeting last Tuesday evening the Lincoln Central Labor union by unanimous vote endorsed the political program of the American Federation of Labor. A communication i outlining the Federation's plans was read, and without discussion the delegates by rising vote gave it their hearty en dorsement. The central body then proceeded to unanimously endorse the candidacy of J. W. Dickson, of the Carpenters' Union, for the state senate, and the candidacy of Will C. Norton of the Ty pographical Union for the house. Dick son is a republican and Norton is a democrat. There are gratifying signs that the union . men of Lincoln are forgetting their partisanship and getting ready to vote as the interests of union work ingmen dictate, regardless of the party whips. Election of officers for the ensuing term was taken up and resulted in the following being- named, in each in stance the office-holder being the in cumbent: O. M. Rudy, Electrical Workers, President. G. M. Quick, Carpenters, Vice-president. F. A. Kates, Carpenters, Secretary. T. W. Evans,, Cigarmakers, Treas urer. The vote for president was a tie between Rudy and T. C. Kejsey, but Mr. Kelsey gracefully withdrew in Rudy's favor and the election of the latter was made unanimous. RESOLVED, That the printers here assembled, regardless of past political affiliations, do form an organization to be known as the Union Printers Bryan club of Omaha, and that they labor for his election, believing that in him lies the only hope of union labor for the fair, and square deal due every man. OEM J THE LABEL OMAHA PRINTERS FOR BRYAN. Bryan Club Formed Among the Union Prints of That Metropolis. A "Union Printer's Bryan Club' was organized in Omaha last week with more than one-hundred charter mem bers. The president of the club is a republican, and so is the secretary and a goodly proportion of the committee men. President Graham has always been a republican, but this year he says he is a union man first. Follow ing are the resolutions adopted by the club: 'Whereas Tue friends of union labor should be rewarded for their acts in behalf of union labor, and. Whereas William Jennings Bryan always been a friend of Omaha Ty pographical union, always speaking at its gatherings when invited to do so, and has contributed time and money to its cause; and, Whereas, The democratic party In erted planks in its Denver platform in the interests of union labor that the republican party scorned to consider; and. Whereas, The republican party puts forth as its standard bearer a man whose whole life has been against the principles of unionism; therefore be it DELIVER THE VOTE. Mr. Workingman, whatever else you do, don't allow yourself to be manacled and led a slave to the polls on election day by those now prostituting this gov ernment of ours by their present lines of action. Injunction Taft is no good for you or for me. Let us get together for united action, and show "Cereal" Post "Divine Right" Baer and "Buck Stove" Van Cleave and their ilk that we can deliver a "labor vote" that it is impossible to keep us at each other's throats always and divided against our selves. Let us deliver our vote. Fort Smith, Ark., Union Sentinel. LABOR DAY EDITION. In accordance with its custom The Wageworker will Issue a handsome Labor Day edition on Saturday, Aug ust 29. It will contain a lot of inter esting reading for union men and women, and will present to them the invitations of merchants who want. union men and women to visit their stores. In addition the edition will contain the official Labor Day program. The Labor Day edition will be worth waiting for. . O, FUDGE! Labor is to have a newspaper sys tem covering the entire country. Pub lication will commence about Septem ber 1, and, according to the announce ment, "the policy is to be one of ultra conservatism, with thei idea of pre venting the labor movement from merging with the more radical social istic element that has been making great inroads on the membership of the unions composed of skilled crafts."
