Injunctions Don't Reach Rioters.
want to call your attention. to the
fact that the injunctions do not reach
rioters;s they do not reach lawbreakers,
and itg is not intended by those that
seek them that they shall: nor do
they entertain the idea that they can
reach them. The injunctions are issu-
ed restraining an officer Of an organ
ication, and a few others necessarily
put in there in order to establish a
prina .facie case Of conspiracy, enjoin-
ing the officers from issuing orders as
directed by the men themselves, from
giving advice for which the officer or
officers may have been particularly
selected, from giving information that
has been gathered by direction of the
men, from prmulgating the result Of a
vote in which the men participated.
And let me say, gentlemen, that the
officers of an organization of labor
who have served any considerable per-
iod Of time as officers, having the res
possibility that comes from defeat,
seek by every means within their
power to avert and avoid contest and

that is so often made against the labor
leader, so called, Of melting strikes
and contests and conflicts, in order, as
our opponent put it, to earn our SAL
aries.
The men who are most successful in
the movements of labor, in having the
confidence and good will and respect
of their fellow -w0rkmen, are the men
| who have done most to avert and avoid
strikes. And I call your attention to
the very well-known men in the labor
! ovements of our country for an at
tesla ton Of that fact and the proof OF
| it. I do not pretend to say that here
and there you will not find some
| cracked-brained, irresponsible, and
perhaps, some faithless men; but ]
ask to you to point to any other voca-
tion or profession Of life in which you
will not find the same character and
the same quality OF men.
Opposition Intesifies Labor.
But 4 am speaking of the labor
movement per Sc and of it's growth
And, gentlemen, by the way, let me
say that 1t is not the question with
which you and we have to deal, of the
movement of labor of this hour, of this
day, of=tIis, year Of grace 1904; wheth-
er the*opponents of labor will it or not
the working people of this country are
going to#organize more than they are
| to- They may impede the pro-
gress, hut, as every impediment to any

the human family develops greater
determination and grit to win and ~to

impeachment placed in the way Of the
realization of labor's highest hope will
simply yaatrengthen the movement AND
