Moreover, discomfort is often expressed
with the use of the process of injunc
ton by the courts, not only in labor
disputes, but where state laws are con
cerned. l refrain from discussion OF
this question as am informed that Il
will soon receive the consideration Of
the supreme court.
UP to Federal Courts.
The federal courts must of course
decide ultimately what are the respec
tive sphere of state and nation in con
nection with any law, state or nation
al, and they must decide definitely and
finally in matters affecting individual
citizens, not only as to the rights and
wrongs of labor but a. to the rights
and wrongs of capital; and the national
government must always see hat tn
decision of the court is put into effec.
The process of injunction is an essen
tial adjunct of the courts doing its
work well, and as preventive measures
are always better than remedial, the
WISE use VI ~diS ptocess is iroHh every
standpoint commendable.
Courts Decision Final.
But where 1t Is reckiessly or 'unnec
essarily used, the abuse should be
~censured, all by the very men
who are properly anxious to prevent
any effort to shear the courts OF TINS
necessary power. The courts decision
must be final; the protest Is only
against the onduc OF individual
judges III neediessiy tlclpatin such
final decision, or in the use
OF what is NORMALLY a temporary In
junction TO what is IN 1ac'
a permanent decision.
Accidents.
The loss OF life and limb from rail-
road accidents in this country has be
come appalling. 1t is a subject OF
which the national government should
take supervisor. 1t might be wen %
