The American Revolution and the postal strike, in terms of world history, are equally important. The employer just as much as the union is interested in favorable public opinion and a friendly press, and is usually in a better position to get it. That has been a big thing, the way the employer has been able to get the law on his side. One of the earliest productions of the WPA dramatic project, or Federal Theater Project, was Injunction Granted, which was quite effective. And the press well, the press is still the Mata Hari of destiny, the Magdalen with no repentance whatsoever.
Employers resort to the injunction.
An injunction is a court order issued in advance requiring a person or group to refrain from action that would permanently injure property. An injunction is not the fearsome thing it was once, because people have not obeyed injunctions and the world went on. I do wish to announce that Eugene Debs is having his happiest moments now. Continuous negotiation between management and labor on a basis of healthy mutual understanding must not be underestimated. Embedded in what I read are a good many facts, and these facts are part of what is going on now.
