Growing out Of the sentencing Of thre,
labor leaders to jail terms for violating

and 10 determine the rights Of labor in
cases Of strike and boycott. The whole
question Of the injunction. both as re-
lateS to labor and in the wider aspects
I'm winch the writ has been used, will
be aired. There is already intimation
that the famous discussion of the right
of Congress 10 INIT the exercise Of the
injunction power by the Congressional
courts. will be repeated in Congress.
aprOpos of efforts TO prohibit the minor
Federal courts issuing injunctions in
certain cases.
But beyond all this, there is apparent
a sharp drift OF interest toward the
general question Of whether the courts
should not be. restricted in the matter
Of interfering with the work of the
Legislature. All this is carried back by
the constitutional lawyers to the famous
old decision by John Marshall in which
he maintained that the Supreme Court
had the power to annul law of Con
gress.
Was Beginning.
That decision was the beginning Of
the development Of powers in the COZ rts
which have made many people charge
that the courts have become superior TO
the Legislature. Right or wrong. Mar
shall assumed that power 10 the Su-
preme Court; and there il has remained
and has developed ever since. There
was a tremendous protest against il at
,the time; but Marshall With his tow
ering intellect and wonderful analytic
powers defeated all critics
The question Of injunction, thus view
ed. is vastly greater than the issue
which Mr. GOmpers and his associates
raised in the late campaign They de-
manded that injunctious ought not to
issue in labor disputes. But beyond all
this, the question of the injunction be
ing employed by the Federal courts in

Congress, has for q long time been
allying a strong element on the side of
the critics of the courts.
An UluStTatiOn-a score of them. -
deed-may be drawn from exp"rienCos
Of the Interstate Commerce eommis-
sion. The rate-making function has
been exercised more frequently and ef-
fectively by the courts than by the
commission. When the railroads year
or more ago announced an increase Of
rates on lumber from the far Northwest
To the East and central sections of the
country, appeal was instantly made to
the commission Before that body. with
its slow and CumbrOuS processes could
Investigate. hear and determine. a Fed
eral court had issued an injunction
against the change.
In the Middle Western milk-Tate
cases there was a like experience, the
court stepped in and enjOined the rates.
