KELLY'S PLUiVlBERS-
WHY WE OPPOSE ItlJUIICTIOIIS
Labor injunctions will be one of the issues during the
ccming campaign and it behooves all workers to "book
up" on this usurpation of courts.
Here are a few points that will "floor" any defender
of labor injunctions:
From 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 1868, 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 as 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.
IGNORANT OR UNFAIR?
BEDflDB THE 10BEI
Candidate Taft Utters Something Un
true Discussing Injunctions.
Was Candidate Taft ignorant of the
facts, or was lie trying, intentionally
to deceive, when lie discussed the
auestion of injunctions in his speech
of acceptance. He certainly is guilty
of one or the other of these- two
tilings. Candidate Taft is opposed to
gi-anting a jury trial in cases of con
structive contempt contempt commit
ted outside the presence of the court.
Ke is clearly entitled to his opinion
on this matter, but when he endeavors
to back up that opinion by false and
misleading statements he deserves to
l rebuked. In his speech of accept-
arce he said:
If now their (the courts') authority
is to be weakened in a manner never
known in the history of the juris-l-rudence
of England or America, ex
cept in the constitution of Oklahoma,
how can we expect that such statute
will have efficient enforcement?"
Eight years ago Candidate Taft was
federal judge, and in that capacity
he was called upon to investigate and
ass upon this injunction question.
It was his duty to look up the law.
If he did look it up, he looked it up
to poor purpose if he based the above
upon his researches. Six hundred
years ago the. English parliament en
acted a law restraining chancery juris
diction and FORBIDDING ARREST.
CONVICTION AND FORFEITURE
WITHOUT A JURY.
It took a Lincoln lawyer just about
thirty minutes to find this and call
Candidate Taft's attention to it, and
this Lincoln lawyer never occupied
he federal bench, either. Oklahoma's
constitutional provision is based upon
hat English statute. Candidate Taft
owes Oklahoma and organized labor
an apology.

Easton (Pa.) Journal.
But Why Should Three Men Hold Up
the Whole United States?
The United States government has
been "restrained" by three federal
judges from enforcing the portion of
the pure food law under which dis
tillers are ordered to label their prod
uct "alcohol" instead of "spirits."
There are some laymen who will find
U hard to understand why three
men should have the power to "re
strain" the United States government
from enforcing a law. Bnt then we
musn't criticize the courts, according
to the republican platform. San Fran

Don't worry abort tbe high price of
meat. It's merely com moo sense not to
eat heavy, greasy meats os these hot
slimmer days. Eat EGG-O-SEE,
toasted whole wheat flakes. EGG-O-SEE
is better than the best meat
better to the taste and more norrsh inc.
It's easy to digest, sustaining sad cost
