LABOR Is INDIGNANT
Judge Jackson's Anti Union Decision
Is the Cause.
Leaders Think That the West vir
ginia JuriSt's Language Is With
out Excuse and an Insult
to Workers.

The overshadowing event in the
miners strike thus far has been the
decision rendered by Judge Jackson of
the United States district court at
Parkersburg, w. Va, in sentencing six
trades-unionists to Jail for violating
his injunction order of June 10. The
case is altogether exceptional because
the sentenced unionists are not appar-
emily charged with violations of law,
nor even with melting others to viola
tions of law, but merely with melting
tontented workmen to join in the
strike, in violation of an order issued
by the court. The following extracts
indicate the temper and purport of the
decision:
while l recognize the right of all
laborers to combine for the purpose
of protecting all their lawful rights,
do not recognize the right of laborers
to conspire together to compel en-
| ployes who are not dissatisfied with
their work in the mines to lay down
| their picks and shovels and to quit
their work without just or proper
reason therefor, merely to crafty a
professional set of agitators, organiz-
ers, and walking delegates, who roam
all over the country as agents for some
combination, who are vampires that
live and fatten on the honest labor of
the coal miners of the country, and
who are busybodies creating dissatis-
faction among class of people who
are quiet and well disposed, and who
do not want to be disturbed by the un-
ceasing agitation of this class of peo-
pie.
"The right of citizen to labor for
wages he is satisfied with is a right
protected by law, and he is entitled to
the same protection as free speech,
and should be better protected than
the abuse of free speech, in which the
organizers and agitators indulge in
trying to produce strikes"
In case it shall appear that the SEN
fenced unionists made threats against

miners not joining in the strike, or in
cited others to maltreat them, or
greeted them with insults, the public
Judgment of this decision will be
sensibly modification all such abuses
of free speech are violations of law
but at present the "unjudicial" char
acter of the language used by Judge
jackson is the subject of almost uni
versal comment. TO denounce trades
union leaders as vampires" who live
and fatten on honest labor" recalls
the rhetoric of the least responsible
of labor agitators whom Judge Jack
son would imprison for melting class
hatred. Mr.. Mitchell's comment on the
decision, which has been published in
papers not generally friendly to the
trades-unions, reads in part as fol-
lows:
None of the defendants in this in
junction case nor our speakers have
violated the law. They were counsel
ing miners on their own grounds.
They were persuading them to remain
out until our demands for a living
wage have been granted, and were not
intimidating them at all.
The scope of Judge Jackson's de-
cision can hardly be realized by those
not familiar with the facts. 1t forbids
men to walk on the highways, to talk
to non-union men, or to persuade them
to strike. 1t takes from the members
of the United Mine Workers the rights
all citizens of the United States are
supposed to enjoy. Such decisions tend
to destroy the confidence Of the work
ing people in the impartiality of the
courts.
I'VE shall appeal to the supreme
court of the United States, and shall
Immediately ask President Roosevelt
to interfere before this outrageous de-
cision can be put in force"
In case the present sentences are
sustained, says the Outlook, it will
give new life to the demand. already
strong in congress, that the right of
federal judges to punish for contempt
of court without jury will be limited to
offenses committed in the courts pres
ence.

No Mustnclies in AIusIxa

Mustaches are not worn by men ex-
posed 60 the severity of an Alaskan
winter. They wear full boards to pro-
tect the throat and face, but keep the
upper lips clean-shaven. The moisture
from the breath congeals so quickly
that mustache becomes embedded in
a solid cake of ice, and the face is
frozen in a short time.

When storms were fallin' dreary. an

He allus kept a-singin' OF the mornin' In
the skies;
or the mornin'. far away,
Where the shadows never stay
OF the beauty an the brightness OF the
everlastin' day!
He heard, across the billows, not the
tempests solemn roar,
But the bells that ring to harbor all the
ships that sesk the shore:
In the storm the rainbow's ray,
And forever, far away,
The brightness an the blessedness of
everlastin' day!
And SO. his soul was comforted, and
though the way was dim.
There never was n night that hid the
Star of Hope from him:
Sweet words to sing an say
Life's winter bright as May.
In the beauty an the brightness OF the
everlastin' day.
