report on the judicial construction
of law. This report which assailed
courts and judges, declared
organized labor in the future would
treat all injunctive decrees that "in
vade personal liberties" as being in
violation of . constitutional safe
guards and would accept "What
ever consequences might follow.
' "Despite all precautions to Safe
guard individual liberty and free
dom of action," said the report
"and the fact that the constitu
tional convention denied the right
to our courts to pass on the con
stitutionality of laws enacted by
congress, . our courts and judges
have been slowly and surety disre
garding these restrictions and
limitations and now freely and un
interruptedly exercise powers
which even the monarchs and
kaisers dare not exercise with all
their claims to power by inherent
divinity. ,
"The power of our courts to de
clare legislation enacted uncon
stitutional and void is a most
flagrant usurpation of power and
authority' and is a repudiation and
denial of the principle of self-
government recognized new as
a , world doctrine!. 'The continued
exercise of this unwarranted power
is a blasphemy on the rights and
claims of free men of America."
"This usurpation of power by our
courts to subordinate the legisla
tive and executive departments to
their will and compel the activities
of a free people to their whims and
dictates is paralleled and equaled
only" by the further usurpation of
authority of our courts to legislate
arjd . punish people to direct de
fiance or constitutional sateguaras
to personal liberty and freedom of
action.
Vested With Too Much Power.
"By the issuance of injunctive de-
trees by our courts, by the re
straint they place upen the normal
and rightful activities of a free peo
ple by the punishing of free men
in the exercise of their constitu
tional rights without opportunity to
a trial by jury, by the removal of
safeguards thrown around the in
dividual against extreme and exces
sive punishments and the denial of
an opportunity of executive clem
ency, our courts have vested them
selves with a power greater than
any despot ever heretofore
possessed. ,.
"The fate of the sovereignty of
American people' again hangs in the
balance. It is inconceivable that
such - an autocratic despotical and
tyrannical power can long remain in
a democracy. One or the other
must ultimately give way, and we
believe that thisv convention should
declare that as wage earners and
citizens of a free and democratic
republic, we shall stand firrfily and
conscientiously on our right's as
free men and treat all injunctive de
crees that invade our personal lib
erties as unwarranted,, in fact, un
justified in law and illegal as being
in violation of our constitutional
safeguards ' and ,i accept whatever
consequences may follow.
Want Adequate Laws.
"Immediate steps should be taken
by the executive council and by all
state organizations for the early en
actment of adequate laws to deny
the further usurpation of these un
warranted powers by our courts and
that congress should be petitioned
to impeach alt judges who exercise
governmental functions and au
thority not expressly delegated . to
therrr. The public - mind and con
science should be fully aroused to the
dangers confronting the liberties of
our people."i
The convention also adopted a
report providing that all labor or
ganizations in the United States
should closely co-operate with trade
unionists in Canada in estagblishing
stable conditions and should . give
Canadian members of international
organizations advice and counsel and
call "attention to the sinister influ
ences which are working in Canada
to split up organized labor."
Without even a debate the con
vention went on record against the
formation of a political labor party.

HEATED REMARKS
EXCHANGED OVER
KflOX RESOLUTION
Its Adoption Would Be Inter
preted as Uncalled-For Effort
to Dictate to Peace Confer
ence, Thomas Says.
Washington; June 19. Adoption
of thi? Knox resolution regarding
the league of nations and the peace
treaty would be interpreted as an
uncalled lor effort by the senate to
dictate to the peace conference,
Senator Thomas, democrat, Colora
do, said today in opposing the meas
ure. The Colorado senator declared
the proposal that the senate de
clare itself now against accepting
the leage as intertwined with the
peace terms as improper and un
wise. . -
Senator Thomas declared the
Knox resolution raised fundamental
questions regarding the power of
the senate in treaty making -and also
of expediency of an expression ly
the senate.
No Opportunity to Sign.
Replying v to Senator Knox's
charges that the democrats had
made the league, a partisan issue,
Senator Thomas cited the round
robin of the-Jast session against the
league, "on which the name i of the
republican leader led all. the rest."
Democratic senators, Mr. Thomas
said, were given no opportunity to
sign the document
"The republicans," he continued,
"have reorganized this senate. They
have thoroughly reorganized the
committee on foreign relations, li
is an open secret that no new sena
tors except enemies of. the league of
nations were eligible to membership
on that committee." '
Senator Pomerene, Ohiq. a demo
cratic member of the committee, In
terrupted to .remark that the repub
licans also were "not satisfied until
they had given themselves a majori
ty of three on the committee arid
Senator Williams, democrat, ofMis
sissippi, challenged any republican
senator to deny "that the committee
had been stacked against the
league."
The challenge started a partisan
debate so heated that Vice Presi-N
dent Marshall repeatedly admon
ished senators against' breaking the
rules. Senator Moses of New Hamp
shire, a new republican member of
the committe,, said his selection to
membership had been "stacked
against the president only in the
sense that he is a democrat and I
am a republican."
"No," shouted Senator Williams,
"you have.,, stacked it against the
hope of world peace as well as
against a democratic president. You
have left on it only one republican
favoring the league, Mr.McCumber,
of North Dakota, and the reason
you left him was because you did
not dare take him off.
Senator McCormick, republican,
Illinois, declared it might also be
said that "the peace commission to
Pans was stacked with democrats
ready to bow tothe will of the chief
executive." . - ........
Senator Williams replied that the
Paris conference at least had done
its work while trie republican sen
ators through the Knox resolution
were "asking for time to think when,
if you had any capacity to think at
all, you'd have thought long ago."
Congress Votes to Repeal
Telephone Control Law
Washington, June 19. After re
considering its ' action extending
government fixed telegraph rates for
six months, the house today, with

law under which those properties
and the cable systems were taken
over by the president.

exceeded their authority when they
raided the houses on the night of
June 6. Dunn declared that he told
the men to watch the Cass street
house and report to him. The po
licemen we're not instructed to raid
either house, said Dunn, who just
had received a report from officers
who watched the flat for six conce
cutive nights without observing any
disorder about the place.
"Was Officer Herdzina guilty of
neglect of duty or of malmatesance
in permitting the escape of Roy
Kelly?" , -
This, the mavor declares, is an im
portant point to be determined by
the council. 1
Kelly declares he was allowed to
escape after carrying out his part
of the arrangement to frame up on
the Cass street house. Kelly has
been walkine the streets of the city
dehed pohcement to arrest him,
Another point the mayor wants
the council to be satisfied on is put
in thrs Question: r,
Did Officer Herdzina. while in
Mrs. Brown's aoartment, subject her
to unnecessary humiliation by insist
ing on remaining in her room while
she was dressing?
More Proof of Guilt.
According to Mrs. Brown's word
and ' the testimony of Thomas
Brown, her son, and Miss Dorothy
Brown a daughter, Herdzina did re
main in Mm. .Brown s room while
she dressed until he was thrown out
by Mr. Brown.
Mayor Smith also laid stress on
this question when he read his
statement to the members of the
council: ,
"Was Mrs. Brown denied the
right to giyebond when taken to
the police station, and was she
treated with unreasonable severity
and subjected.to cruel treatment by
being .required to spend the re
mainder of the night in a cell also
occupied by criminals of the lowest
character? ,
It has been established that Mrs.
Brown was denied the right to
give bond. She was abused by the
city jailor until it was necessary for
her to remain in the hospital for a
week aiter she was released from
jail.
I respectively recommend that
this council at the proper time enter
upon a thorough examination of
these matters," is the closing in
junction of the lengthy document,
which the mayor read to the mem
bers of the council immediately fol
lowing the filing of the complaint by
Attorney Lloyd A. Magner against
the two detectives.
All Questions Answered.
All of the mayor's questions have
been answered. They have been an
swered to the extreme detriment of
Detectives Herdzina and Armstrong.
io far as is known, neither of the
detectives have even been taken to
task.
While Mayor Smith, either by de
sign or through an oversight made
no reference in his original state
ment to the charge that the two de
tectives were drunk when they raid
ed the flats, according to the testi
mony ot a halt-dozen witnesses, the
men were intoxicated.
Kelly says he got drunk with
them. The girls living in the flat at
2106 Cass street, say they were
drunk. Miss Dorothy Brown and
Thomas Brown say they were
drunk, and the policeman who drove
Herdzina and Armstrong to their
homes following the raids, said that
the detectives had been drinking.
Now the mayor has again delayed
the hearing in order to get Kelly.
He says he wants to hear Kelly,
too, say the men were drunk.

Carnival.
V;" , . - f
Fear of sweltering in the Council
Bluffs auditorium-kept the fans
away last night and only about two
dozen were present at half past
eight, the hour billed for the open
ing event of the program and
promoter Al called the entire show
off rather than let the men go on
for the little they could get out of
such a small house.
Both the main event eontestants
were on hand and ready to go on
had Fiori decided to put the show
on, but he figured to lose as well
be able to pay the wrestlers but
a small part of the money they
could expect, so he decided to
stand the Iocs of the advertising
and the cost of the rental, etc.,
rather than have the men perform
before so small a crowd.
He will make arrangements to
put a star wrestling carnival on in
the open, at the ball park, on July
IS. with Peters and Gana in the
main event, Everett Miller and Jess
Queen in the semi and Tom Ray
and Young Remington in the operv
er, making a real all-star card thn
should draw a capacity house.
The tickets for this show will be
plced on sale early next week, in
several places in Omaha and Coun
cil Bluffs. The Merchants hotel
and Ernie Holmes' billiard parlors
and probably one or two other
Omaha sporting headquarters will
handle the tickets. The prices will
be $1, $2 and $3.
Every bout on the card will le
billed for a finish, the first two to go

best two out of three fajls. Kid
