that direction already taken.

OF
THE PROCESS
Is What Calls Forth Unionism's
Opposition to Injunctions.
The Writ Never was Intended to
Summarily Determine Mems
Personal Rights and
Liberties.

lnjunctions issued in labor dis
putes are not based on law, but are
species of judicial Legislation
judicial usurpation in the interest
OF the money power against work
men, innocent of any unlawful or
criminal act, the doing of the law
ful acts rendering the workers
suiity OF contempt of court.
The writ of injunction is in itself
a beneficient writ for the protection
of property rights, but,itnevcr was
intended and never should be ap-
piled to deprive men of their per-
sonal rights or the right of mans
ownership of himself; the right of
freedom of locomation; freedom of
assembly; freedom of association;
the freedom of doing those things,
which promote life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness, and
which are not in violation of law.
Labor ask no immunity for any
man who may be guilty of unlaw-
ful or criminal conduct. But we
do Insist that when work man is
charged with a crime he shall be
tried by the same process of law as
any other citizen. Any other
method is repugnant to-the CON
stitution and the laws of the coun
try. 1t is a shock to the conscience
of our people, the spirit and genius
of our Republic. Against any
other view we protest; with any
thing less we shall not be content.
The injunctions against which
we protest are fiagrantly, aud
without warrant of law, issued al
most daily in some section of our
country.

fully 900 men have been laid off
indefinitely in that city during the
past few months. Investigation

The big concerns that have laid
off the workers claim that orders
are being cancelled by railwa VS.

men of the latter lay the blame on
Roosevelt and the government for
probing and stirring up agitation
against their institutions. While
the plutes and their politicians
may be engaged in their factional
quarrels, the truth of the matter is
that the workers are getting the
worst of it as usual.
