| ARGUMENT OF MR.. FULLER
m support of this plank ana IN explanation
of the position taken by his organizations Mr.
| Fuller dweIt at some length on several phases
of the question. He made the point that law
on the subject would be reflection on
| the judiciary than a new law any other sub

| from 1898 the statutes contained provision
| that no ex-parte irjunction could be issued
| This law he said. was changed during a codi-

Mr. Fuller made the statement that an in
| junction was in effect law. Considering it from
| this point of view, he dwelt ON the manner in
| which it was formulated and often invoked by
| a Judge without consideration and enforced with
| great hardship To labor. lie wanted the right
| of labor to strike and to persuade others to
| strike upheld by law.
Questioned by Frank 3. Kellogg. Mr. Fuller
said he not only wanted no injunction to issue

TO be held above property rights of any charac-

An answer to Mr. Fuller was made by J. A.
| Emery, of New York. general counsel for the
| National Association of Manufa cturers. Mr.
| Emery pointed out 6rst that the legislators of
