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 jf 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 viil be committed.
Laoor 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.
KMl TC3E LABEL
THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
Taft's Election Means Defeat and Dis
appointment for Labor.
Everyone who can read knows that
the injunction plank in the Republican
platform is not meant to bind that
party to any policy which will mean
the repeal of the i'njuncton in labor dis
putes. This is plain, because Taft was the
first federal judge to usurp power
which did not belong to him, and is
sued an injunction in a labor dispute
as a means of throwing men into pris
on without trial by jury.
He has never shown by word or ac
tion that he has changed his posi
tion as' to tne injunction in labor dis
putes, and, of course, the anti-injunction
plank in the Republican platform
would not have been adopted unless it
had been satst'actory to him.
It is clear then that the success of
the Republican party in November
next, can not mean anything but de
feat and disappointment for organized
labor in the matter of securing the de
sired legislation in the next congress.
'-"How soon public opinion will be so
tnoroughly aroused that it will com
pel the legislative and judicial powers
to give fair play to the workers can
but- be conjectured. But it is certain
that the workingmen in all the indus
trial centers are determined to work
as never before for their rights under
the constitution. The Duluth Labor

STRIKE IN PAPER MILLS.
Milinocket, Me., Sept. 11. Respond
ing to a telegram from the union
headquarters the 1,200 men employed
in the mills of the Great Northern
Paper company here and at East Mill
nocket went on strike today ' and the
mills were shut down. The reason
given was that members of a rival
union have taken positions of strikers
in the company's mills at Fort Ed
ward, N. Y.
WILL AFFILIATE.
Columbus, O., Sept. 15. Affiliation
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen with the -Associated
Society of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen,
or steps looking to that end, will be
one of the important actions o the
convention being held in Columbus.
HOW LABOR GETS IT.
Always in the Neck When the Courts
Hand It Out.
Here is another example of how la
bor always gets it in the neck from
the courts, while the same courts are
handing out to corporations- just what
the corporations wanted.
When Judge Taft handed down his
famous injunction against the Broth
erhood of locomotive Engineers in the
Ann Arbor case, it was held that ser
vice on Chief Arthur was sufficient,
and that the service on Arthur suf-
ncea on every one of the 36,uuu mem
bers of the brotherhood.
It was different when Judge Cross
cup handed down his decision in the
famous Standard Oil fine case. Judge
Crosscup decided that service had
not been rendered on the constitu
ent members of the Standard Oil Co.,
by merely rendering servce on the
company's officials and the parent
company.
In the case of the workers it was de
cided that 35,000 men had had their
day in court because one official had
been served with notice.
In the case of the corporation it
was decided that the constituent mem
bers of the corporation had not had
their day in court simply because
a few officials of the parent and re
sponsible organization had been served
with notice. ..
Coming or going, organized labor
gets it in the neck from the courts,
and when organized labor protests it
is either enjoined or accused of dis
respect for the judicary.
But how'n thunder can we have
much respect for such courts?

NORTON ON THE STUMP.
Union Labor Candidate's Initial Bow as
an Orator.
"Billy" Norton, union labor-demo
cratic candidate for the legislature
went to Havelock Wednesday night
and made his initial bow as a political
spellbinder. Mr. Norton is running
on the democratic ticket, but he is a
union man and will appeal especially
to the union men of the county for
votes. His remarks upon the occasion
of his debut as a spellbinder were
brief but , to the point. He plainly
stated where he stood" on the issues
that are of most moment to union
men, and assured his hearers that
he would endeavor to secure legisla
tion in the interests of the workers.
. The occasion was a democratic ral
ly with A. G. Shallenbarger, candidate
for governor, as the cnief speaker.
Several other county candidates were
present and made short talks.
BARBER COLLEGE CLOSED.
. Tuesday of last week the Missouri
State Board of Barber Examiners
closed the Moler "barber college" at
523 Deleware street, Kansas City, the
license being suspended for ninety
days. The public would be benefitted
materially if all such institutions were
closed and kept closed. The Bar
bers' Union has been fighting barber
colleges for years and will eventually
do away with them entirely.
THE PLUMBERS.
During the year 1907, the United
Association of Journeymen Plumbers,
Gat Fitters, Steam Fitters and Steam
Fitters' Helpers paid out the sum of
$87,830 in benefits, divided as follows:
Strike or lockouts, benefits, $49,865;
sick benefits, $28,665, and death bene
fits, $10,300. These figures do not in
clude the large amounts paid out by
local unions for the same purposes.
