WRIT Of injunction \
:. IT'S USE DEhEF|C|ENT
Unionism's Opposition Based
n q: Wholly Upon the: Abuse ~ i
of+the Process.
Writ Never Was Intended to
summarily Determine Mems
Personal Rights. i

Injunctions issued in labor disputes
are not based on law, but are spe-
cies Of judicial Observation-Disclosures
usurpation in the interest Of the NOM
ey power against workmen innocent
Of any unlawful or criminal act, the
doing of the lawful acts rendering the
workers guilty Of contempt Of court.
The writ Of injunction is in itself a
beneficient writ for the protection of
property rights, but never was in
tended and never should be applied
to deprive men of their personal
rights OF the right of mans ownership
| of himself: the right Of freedom of
locomotion; freedom Of assembly;
freedom of association; the freedom
| of doing those things, which promote
| life, liberty, and the pursuit of. happi-
! ness, and which are not in violation
of law " -
Attitude Of Labor,
Labor asks no immunity for any
man who may be guilty of unlawful
or criminal conduct. But we do in
| sist that when workman is charged
| with a crime he SHALL be tried by the
same process of law as any other citi-
zen. Any other method is repugpa ant
to the Constitution and the laws Of
the country. It is a. shock to the con-
science of our people; the spirit and
genius Of our Republic. Against any
other view we protest; with anything
less we shall not be content.
| The injunctions against which we
protese are flagrantly, and without
warrant Of law, issued almost daily in
some section of our country.
| President Gomper's Views.
| The following by President Com
pers expresses our views so accurate
ly that we take delight in giving 1t
frequent repetition
$50 far as am concerned, let me
say that never have I or ever will
violate a law.
Il desire it to be clearly understood
that when any court undertakes, with
out warrant of law, by An injunction
process, to deprive me of my personal
rights and by personal liberty guar
anteed by the Constitution, I shall
have no hesitancy in asserting and
exercising those rights.
"And it may not be amiss to SOUND
a word of warning and advice to such
of the rampant, vindictive, greedy en-
ployers, who seek to rob the working
people Of our country Of their lawful
and constitutional rights by the I'M
warranted injunction process. The
workmen of the United States are
citizens, are men. They are inte,li-
gent and stand erect looking their
fellow-c citizens squarely in the face,
asking no Immunity or favors. but
asserting their, equal rights with all
other men. TneY can and will main.
tain their equality before The, law, ali
the contest1ng money power to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The full
power of labor has never yet been
exercised in defense of it's rights. It
is not wise to compel it's exercise"

there would be no limit to the wrongs
they would suffer, at the hands of des-
potic capitalists. The misery of the
victim would be as limitless as the
greed Of the oppressor. The competi-
ton in luxury now being waged by
millionaires and their wives would
cause one reduction to follow another
in quick, succession.
The trades union civilies the capt.
talist, it prevents him from making$ a
Persian shah of himself. It draws a
line between fair play and oppression
and says: 'gThus far, and no farther.
shall you CO."
1t says to him: "This is America
and not Russia, and you must do bus1-
ness the American way" 1t trans
forms the wage-earners from human
machines into human beings.
Fifty years ago, when ten workers
! worked side: by side with their en-
ployer in little wooden factory. each
separate workman counted for some-
thing. He called his employer by
name and was free to give advice
about the business. He was much
more like a partner than hired hand.
But in the gigantic plants that now
exist one worker: counts for as little
| as a leaf on a. tree. The bigger the
| plant, the smaller the workman, is a
truth that most American wage-earn-
ers have found out by experience.
The shrinkage of the workman can
only be overcome in two ways-by Or
ganiation or by some catastrophe
| which greatly reduces the number OF
! working men in the country. The lat
ter happens occasionally, as after tn
black plague in Europe and during the
Civil war in America, but it can hardly
be recommended as plan of reform,
Organization is, therefore, the only
expedient by which the worker can
| retain any individual rights whatever
] If he has no right to set minimum
price upon his labor, then The grocer
has no right to set a price upon his
groceries and the physician has no
right to fix his own, fee. When any
body Of people are prevented from
| combining for mutual profit, business
stops and slavery begins.
! The trades unionist believes in evo-
luton, not revolution. He knows that
the only way to hasten the happy
| time a-coming'" is by education and
| organiza tion-by slow, steady, perse-
| vering work. He cannot be deceived
| by the delusion that new social sys-
tenn can be built up in a night, like
Aladdin's palace, by some political
".presto change hocus pocus.

AMERICAN BENEFIT FIELD DAY
Will Give One of the Best Excursions
Of the Season.

Everyone should wait for the Ameri-
can Benefit excursion and field day
which will come on Tuesday. August
10th. and will be one of the most en-
joyable events. The excursion will
be to the beautiful Casco Castle on
the shores of Casco bay at South
Freeport. which is conceded to be one
of the most picturesque and delightful
spots on the Maine coast. Careful
preparations have been made to ensure
the success of this excursion. and it
is surprising how much it offers at a
minimum of cost. The round trip
fare to Freeport from Augusta. Halo
we'll and Gardiner will be only "a
cents and from Waterville s1.25. From
FreepCrt a two mile trip by electrics at
5 cent fare will land one at Casco
Castle. Here a splendid shore dinner
will be served at cost of only 50
cents to each person. The afternoon
will be passed in the enjoyment of the
rare scenic beauties of this locality.
A number of power boats will be in
attendance. and a fifty minute trip on
Casco Bay may be enjoyed for a IL
cent fare. Those who desire more
extended trip may charter special
boats on very reasonable terms There
will also be a dance at the Castle the
music for which will be furnished by
the regular Casco Castle orchestra
The officers of the Grand Lodge have
signified the intention of being pres
ent. Eleven other Maine lodges have
been invited to participate in this eX-
cursion, which will be given under the
auspices of the Augusta lodge. All
the lodges in the New England juris-
diction have been asked to attend, and
it is believed that large number of
them will be represented in the at
tendance. A cordial invitation is eX-
tended to the general public to join in
the excursion. Take your wives. and
children. and join the party. If
everyone does not have good time it
will not be the fault of the committee.
whose members are working early and
late to make the event one Of the
most successful and enjoyable of the
year. Don't forget the date, August
90 The excursion will leave Augusta
on the early morning train. and tickets
will be good for return as far as
Waterville on the train which leaves
Portland at 1870 p. M. and arrives in
Augusta at 1915 A. NJ. Those who de-
sire to do so may return on any of the
earlier trains.
