Abuses Of the IDi junction Power.

Chicago Record.
1t is wholesome sign Of the in.
dependence Of public opinion in this
country that the sweeping in unction
granted by Judge Jackson, Of West
Virginia, 10 everywhere calling forth
decided and emphatic protests. One
OF the greatest dangers threatening
the integrity Of the courts in recent
years has been the reproach aroused
BY the misuse Of the injunction
power. There have been many In.
stances Of such abuse, but Judge
Jackson's order restraining men
from publicly speaking on the strike
issues. or endeavoriug to enlist sym
patty and support for the miners,
goes to the limit. An injunction
against an effort to trespass upon an
employers property, or to drive his
men from their work, might be un-
derstood. but this injunction il in
restraint Of the very constitutional
principles which guarantee to citi.
zens the rights Of free assembly and
free speech. It's difficult to see how
the Injunction power could be
stretched any further or made 10 in
fringe more deeply upon the rights
and privileges belonging TO citizens
under the national constitution and
the state constitution OF West Vir.
ginia. The injustice which such in.
functions do to the persons At whom
they are aimed 10 only part Of the
mischief they entail. An even
more serious injury comes in the
loss Of respect for the courts, the
popular contempt for judicial pro-
ceedings and the angry conviction
that the agents Of justice, so for
from fulfilling their part, are becom.
ing merely the agents Of greedy
wealth in its oppression Of poverty.
1t would not require many more
orders like that Of Judge Jackson to
create popular feeling which In the
end would undermine the courts OF
law and distroy their effectiveness
for either good or i'll. In the cir.
cunstancss it 10 gratifying to see
that 30 many observers on both sides
Of the mining contest are disposed
to recognise the excessive and nm.
reasonable nature Of Judge Jackson's
order and condemn it heartily.

WELCOMES THE NEGRO.
American Federation Invites All In
Dor Regardless of Color.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 1.-THE Amer
lean Federation Of Labor met Thursday
in adjourned session. One Of the most
important reports of the session was
that of the special committee on convict
labor. 1t was the sense of the commit
tee that the employment of convict Ia
Dor should be primarily for self-suppor1
and at the furthesI for the making of
goods which should be used in state in
stitutions.
The negro question occupied the
major portion of the session. and heat
ed discussion was brought On by reso-
luton introduced by Henry Lloyd re-
affirming the declaration Of the fedora
ton that all labor, without regard 20
color, is welcome TO its 1nks-denounc-
ing as untrue, in fact, the reported
statements of Booker 7. Washington
that the trades unions were placing OBJ
stacles in the way Of the material ad-
vancement of the negro, and appealing
to the records of the federation con-
ventions as complete answers to such
false assertions. This resolution caused
much spirited discussion, but was final
" adopted.

furnishings, which were valued at $50,

ON THE GREAT LAKES.
Sixty-Eight Mariners But No Passen-
gers Lost the Past Season.

Chicago, Dec. notwithstanding
the treachery of the great lakes, re-
ports show that during the season of
navigation just closed not single pas
senger was lost by accident. 1t is
record of which the navigation com
panies are proud that is presented in
the statements they make regarding
their business since last spring. Had
not one passenger jumped overheard
from a steamer no fatalities among
travellers on the large lake lines would
be reported. While the season was one
of unusually good luck for those who
patronize the boats and large steamers,
there has been considerable loss of ife
among the mariners. SiXty-eight men
employed as sailors on the large craft
that sail up and down the lakes met
death while at their work. This is
about the same number that has been
lost on the water in several previous
seasons There was one disaster, in
which the Idaho was lost on Lake Erie.
Nineteen lives were lost in this wreck
The remainder of the 6S seamen mat
with different accidents. Il of them be-
ing killed by falling into the holds of
vessels. Forty-six were drowned and
