THE enrolment Of Congressman

anarchists is an infringement of our
special rights against which we pro-
pose to enter II vigorous protest.
His declaration that the injunCtions
issued by Judge Jackson in the Mo-
nongah cases were hbad law, bad
morals and worse politics, was a
strong bid for anarchist leadership,
but as there are something over r.
0OO, 900 voters in this country who
do not approve of such injunctions,
and are therefore anarchists we sup
pose, Gen. GrOsvenOr will have q big
list of competitors to go against
Ills defiance of these injuuctions Is
more pronounced than that of any
other public man, and clearly brings
him within the rule of personal and
judicial contempt. About three
