After assembling at the pa-1 WHY WE OPPOSE INJUNCTIONS Labor injunctions will be one of the issues during the coming 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 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 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. fl fill 71 mm Vs.nCleave's Support of Taft Causing Republican Managers Worry. James VanCleave seems to have suffered a" change of base in his an tagonism, but as he now defends Taft; Ihe reason is obvious. After doing all ii his power to out law union men, destroy the unions and riace the brand of a criminal on every trades unionist, VanCleave seems to realize now that he has adopted the wrong tactics and the party to which he is attached also seems to realize that a mistake has been made. Consequently James' lit tle heart begins to overflow with the milk of human kindness and his so licitude for the unionist is pathetic to see. However, we pointed out long ago that the manufacturers were sowing the wind in permitting VanCleave and his kind a free hand, and they are r:ow reaping the whirlwind. Detroit Union Advocate. GET HINSHAW'S SCALP. Wage Earners in the Fourth District Have Duty to Perform. Congressman Hinshaw is a candi date for re-nomination in the Fourth congressional district. If ever a man deserved to be fought to a finish by every man who carries a union card. and by every man who is a friend of men who carry union cards, Hin shaw is that man. He stabbed orga nized labor in the back at the one- opportunity to do organized labor a favor. It was Hinshaw who cast the deciding vote that gave an enemy of organized labor the fattest political plum in Nebraska. He knew all the facts, too, and he knowingly Insulted and injured organized labor. The defeat of Hinshaw would be a good object lesson. And it will be remembered, too, never fear. The contest in the Fourth district pri maries is waxing warm, and there are enough union men in the district to defeat Hinshaw if they will do their duty. A vote for Senator Aldrich, who is contesting with Hinshaw for the republican congressional nomina tion, will be a vote to rebuke a man who has done a serious injury to tha cause of organized labor. Senator Aldrich is a good man and worthy of the hearty support of every republi can unionist in his district. They ought to get busy and do themselves a favor while doing a favor to their fellow unionists throughout the state. curred.

Indianapolis Central Labor Union in Line for Bryan. They are coming in flocks these days. Last week the Indianapolis Federation of Labor unanimously en dorsed the political plan of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, thus pledg ing the support of the local federation to Bryan. . The action was taken after due deliberation, and there was not a dissenting vote. This is another answer to the sneer ing charge that "Gompers is trying t.- deliver the union vote." It is proof that union men are doing their own thinking these days, and are not depending on political machinists to do it for them. i The Indianapolis Federation has decided to enlist under the banner of unionism rather than under the ban ner of VanCleave, Post and Parry. BROKE HIS LEG. ENTERTAINED VORKING GIRLS. Mrs. Raymond Robins, president of the Women's Trade Union Label League, entertained one thousand union women at Jackson Park. Chi cago, last week, at which time the annual picnic of that organization oc Union Cigarmaker Suffers Accident While Wrestling a Friend. Jacob Peters, a union cigarmaker, in rusticating in St. Elizabeth's hos pital while nursing a broken leg. The accident occurred at the Washington hotel Tuesday evening. Peters, who is a late arrival in Lincoln, was en gaged in a friendly wrestling bout with a fellow cigarmaker and was thrown to the floor in such a way as to fracture a bone just below the knee. Secretary Massey of the local union immediately notified the city physician and had the injured man removed to the hospital. There he will receive the best of attention, and the Cigarmakers' Union will foot the bill. This is another bad habit the "anarchistic labor, unions" have tak ing care of their own. Municipalities are seldom if ever called upon to pay the expense of taking care of a sick or injured members of a trades union. TAFT GOES FISHING. The papers this week convey to us the startling information that Mr. Taft is going fishing. For fish, not for votes. We presume that if the fish refuse to bite he will issue an injunction re straining them from protecting them selves from the cunningly baited hook. It would all be so natural, and in keeping with the Taft presedent. We are expert cleaners, dyers and finishers of Ladles' and Gen tlemen's Clothing of all kinds. The finest dresses a specialty.
