His depletion of the kindly, humorous

worthy OF praise. He does not resort

THE CANDIDATES md LABOR.

Mr. Taft, as was natural in speech before
union labor men, reverted in Chicago to his
position on labor questions. especially on labor
and the courts His platform is Ito give labor
a square deal and no more than square deal"
and il is one on which labor and capital alike
should unite. Indeed. there is reason to think
that laboring men throughout the country
want nothing more. OF Mr.. Gompers's efforts
10 deliver the labor vote TO Bryan nothing now
is heard. and apparently they have failed so
completely that the labor leader is now en-
gagged in trying to protect himself from the
III consequences of his mistake
Mr. Taft's position on injunctions is the
square deal. He said In Chicago:
The owner of a business, whether railroad
business or any other is entitled to be protected
in his pursuit Of il and TO immunity from un-
lawful injury TO fl. To take away from him
The remedy by injunction which has always been
his merely because il sometimes leads to the
punishment OF those who violate the Injunction
without trial by jury Is 10 introduce into the
law class legislation in favor of employees and
laboring men. and IL is to take them out OF
the ordinary operation Of civil remedies because
they are iaborers. j say that that kind of class
legislation is peFnicious.
That Is courageous and 10 the point. But
though Mr. Taft is in favor OF preserving the
writ of injunction as a necessary bnlwark Of
property. he sees the fairness of granting
notice before its issue. His position on this
question is plain aud free from quibble and
eauirocation. Every one can see exactly where
De stands He is neither for labor nor against
labor but be is for impartial justice as be
tween labor and capital
On the other hand no man knows where Mr..
BRYAN stands regarding injunctions The
Democratic platform is absolutely blind on
that point and Mr.. Bryan has not yet eluci-
ds.ed il 1t may ncan that the Injunction as
