MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi: Oct. 3.-Geo.
B. Howley, president Of the State Fed
Grafton Of Labor, who spent two weeks
in Red Wing for the federation, has
returned to Minneapolis. He reports
some good results and predicts that
things, in that place will run more
smoothly than heretofore. There are
nine unions in Red Wing and the work
Of organization will be kept up. Mr..
Howley aided in the reorganization of
the Trades Assembly along the lines
Of the Minneapolis central body.
Although in some quarters it was
concluded that the, proposition sub
mitted to referendum vote, having
for It's object the increasing Of the per
capita tax was defeated. Mr.. Howley
says it has probably carried by a small
majority. II it carries an organizer
will be placed at work at once and
will visit those parts Of the state most
in need of his services. -. .
Many Of the larger cities are raising
funds on their own account with which
to pay organizers. Mankato is one of
these places. President. Howley has
commissioned Paul Dithlorf. president
OF the Mankato Trades Assembly, to
perform special work in shat place and
he will begin his work rs soon as pos
sible. East Grand Forks and Moor

the Intervention of a jury between the
injunction and the sentence for con-
tempt that the secretary took excep-
ton.
It does not appear that he was in a
humorous mood. He seemed wholly in
earnest, he argued that it is essential
to the protection Of the poor man that
Judges should have the power to find
men guilty of contempt and give them
prison sentences without referring the
facts Of the case to- jury of the de-
fendant's peers.
Organized Labor Judges for Itself.
Now, We do not think it necessary
to enter into any prolonged contro-
versy with Mr.. Taft on this point.
Organized labor Is quite competent to
Judge how much the power Of judges
to declare men guilty Of contempt and
condemn them to imprisonment has, in
the past, benefited the poor man or is
likely to benefit him In the future. The
idea that the rich would derive ad-
vantage from the limitation of this
power suggested by the .Oklahomans
"a Limitation made necessary by the
developments Of the last item or
twelve years. with appear TO- alt In
telligent workmen as q solemn joke
which 1t is.
The argument. however, becomes In
teresting in connections with Mr.. Taft's
aspirations in the political field. 1t
shows that he has not changed his
position since his campaign in Con-
gressman Littlef1eld's district last year.
Now, as then, he ignores all the fun
damental and vital objections to the
abuse Of the injunction and the conse-
!, quent abolition of trial by jury in
labor cases. He still seeks to evade
the issue, to find sophistical reasons
for upholding a monstrous' abuse. He
has learned nothing and forgotten
nothing on the subject since his career
as a judge Of the federal circuit court.
He was one OF the early injunction

Injunction Standard Bearer"
The article discusses Taft's decision
as federal Judge in Cincinnati, when
he granted injunctions against boy
colts and his discussion of the labor
question in his western speeches.
If Taft's contentious were carried
out" he says, "every assemblage Of
working men would be broken up and
all their agreements would be nulli-
fed.
TAFT in fear that he may ruffle the
plumes of capitalists, substantially as
sures them that If they will support
him, he will turn over to them the
working men, bound hand and foot
by the shackles Of injunctions
Since the announcement that Secre-
tary VIM. H. Taft is an avowed aspi-
rant for the presidential nomination,
1t has been arranged that he should
deliver number Of addresses on his
way westward, making a visit to the
Philippines, Japan, and China. and do
such "other things" as will tend to
further his aspiration. He recently
delivered the first formal address at
Columbus, Ohio, and then at different
points, reaching Oklahoma City, and
thence to Seattle. In each speech he
discussed several important questions
Of general or local character. In the
last few addresses he devoted consid-
erable Of his time and attention to the
subject Of injunctions, and to this we
desire to call especial attention.
His Fears Of Oklahoma.
One Of the reasons which he gave
for advising the people of Oklahoma to
reject the constitution was that, In his
opinion, it contained a bad and dang
erQus Limitation upon the power Of the
courts. to grant and enforce wrtts OF
injunction. Mr.. Taft. 1t appears, was
very strong and "outspoken'' In his
handling of this question.
The injunction. he declared, was one
of the most valuable, benefcent, and
essential instruments Of law and JUS
tice. 1t was even more necessary for
the protection OF the poor than. ot
the rich, and to limit it In any way
would put more power in the hands
Of rich criminals and oppressors.
The provision. to which he SO seri-
ously objected did not, however. limit
the power to issue injunctions. It only

Mosby, Henry S. Julian, Henry Sar-

men who have contributed time and
money, to the movement to establish
the system In Missouri.
There Is every reason to believe the
coming state campaign will have as
its main issue the adoption and carry

dunn system Of government and it is
therefore fitting that the Democratic
party nominate as its standard bearer
led the fight for years for the adoption
by Missouri Of the, initiative and refer

be taken as an evidence of good faith
