thies have been with tae strikers and
will continue with them so long as
they refrain from acts of violence.
The Silver State says: We are
personally acquainted with nearly all
of the boys who are striking at this
point and we feel sure, determ-
ined as they are to carry their point,
that they would suffer almost any
thing before one of them would COM
NIT any act tuat would involve the
destruction of life or one cents worth
of the company's property, unless
they considered it means of self
justification in case of last resort.
u cd forbid that such extremities will
ever arise.
The Nevada State Journal in con-
clusion of an article says:
If United States troops are sent
into peaceful community by Presi-
dent, Marshal or other authority,
and disturb the peace of that COM
munity, they should be amenable to
the civil law, unless martial law is
proclaimed.

The railroads have always been the
most rampant violators of national |

The sweeping injunction which
has amazed the country ignores the
mails and is based upon the allega-

up. A new issue has been raised
and the courts have grAsped still
greater powers.-Buffalo Enquirer.
Time was when the courts we're
the refuge of the poor and oppressed.
Time now is when, in conflict be.

judgment for the former is rendered
In advance. 1t is argued that these
