which went into effect yesterday, pre-
vents the commission and its agents
from interfering with the handling of

Now we come to a frisky lot,
the Labor Union editors. You
know down in Texas weed call
ed Loco" is sometimes eaten by
a steer and produces derange-
ment of the brain that makes the
steer "batty" or crazy. Many of
these editors are ''Locoed' from
hate of anyone who will not in
stantly obey the demands Of a
labor union and it is the univer-
sal habit of such writer's to go
straight into a system of person
al utilization, manufacturing
any sort of falsehood through
which to vent their spleen. We
assert that the common citizen
has right to live and breathe
air without asking permission Of
the labor trust and this has
brought down on us the hate of
these editors. When they go far
enough with their libels, is it
harsh for us to get judgments
against them and have our law
yers watch for chance to attach
money due them from others?
Cor they are usually irrespon-
sible.)

coed" editor.
