offered resolution TO Investigate GER
tain injunctions of Federal Judge
Dayton of West Virginia prohibiting
members of labor unions from even
arguing with their fellow.workmen
concerning disputes with their EN-.

cares nothing as to what the Senate
may do in the matter, as he has only
acted as he conceived it his duty to
act.
We cannot but think that there
must be limit to the power Of feder-
al judges and the matter ought to be
thoroughly threshed out. We do not
desire, however, to have it start with
Judge Dayton.

were procured, but all were dead eX-
cept one when they reached this coun-

by laying about 5000 eggs. In an in.
