LABOR TO APPEAL
TO HIGH COURT
Will Attempt to Wipe Out In
functions Obtained in the
Federal Courts

PHILADELPHIA. Aug 2S.-The
American Federation Of Labor has de-
cided not TO oppose the granting of the
permanent injunction applied for by the
National Association of Manufacturers
in the Supreme Court Of the District
of Columbia against the boycott and
unfair list. Instead it will at once carry
it's case to the Supreme Court Of the
United States in hopes of having all
injunctions against labor organizations
wiped out with one stroke.
When the hearing in the injunction
proceedings takes place on Thursday or
Friday next in Washington the attor-
neys Of the Federation will simply rest
on their oars. But as soon as the in
junction restraining the Federation
from publishing its unfair list" has
been granted the lawyers will take
steps to have the injunction declared
unconstitutional.
The Executive Council OF the Fed
GRAFTON. in finally deciding to depend
upon a constitutional argument IN favor
of it's unfair list" and its right TO
persuade other workers to buy or alb
stain from buying" expects a decision
which will deny the courts fright to
enjoin labor organizations from peace
full persuasians, spoken or written"
Such a decision from the Supreme
Court would at once end between 500
and 500 injunctions now in force
against labor leaders and labor organ
izations I'm all parts Of the country.
Should the decision of the Supreme
Court however, be against the Fedora
ton, the labor leaders will use it as
a basis for a conspiracy suit against
the National Association of Manufac-
turers
"There is no doubt that the bonn
bastic suit of the National Association
of Manufacturers will fall" said Dennis
A. Hayes, first vice president of the
American Federation of Labor. I'VE
are very glad indeed to have an OPP
portunity at last to have this injunc-
ton nuisance settled once and for all.
The employers have used injunotions so
Unfortunately that their proper usage
has been almost forgotten. They have
degenerated into a farcical bogey by
which employers in nearly every dis
pute with their employees try to intimi-
date timid men into working where
they do not want to work and into
abstaining from doing that which they
have a perfect right 10 do.
why, intunetions have been used in
several cases to uphold unlawful acts
and prevent lawful acts This latest
injunction Of the National Association
of Manufacturers even forbids one set
of workingmen from speaking to anoth-
er set Of workingmen; forbids them to
address them on the street or to hold
peaceful and lawful meetings. We hold
that no court has a right to enjoin
us from our constitutional right Of free
speech and peaceful assemblage, and
we believe that the supreme Court will
uphold our position"

PLANNING FOR BUSY WINTER

Now that the summer season is draw
ing to a close it is anticipated that the
attendance at the meetings Of the var
ious fraternal organizat'o 'ons will be larger
than it has been for the few months past.
Most of the local lodges have had very
small attendances, and frequently it has
been difficult 10 get enough members to-
gether to hold the meetings. required by the
characters and bylaws. There has been
practically no work this summer, although
one or two of the organizations have an
nounced the comforting Of degrees.
Plans are in progress in most Of the
orders, however, for a very busy win
ter and 1t is expected that there will
be the usual number Of candidates at
least. This always tends to Increase the
attendance, and during the fall and
winter the lodge rooms are generally well
filed. The Masonic fratern.ties do not hold
meetings during the months Of July and
August, while the others held forth as
usual
