AS TO THE INJUNCTION

which the whole controversy centers,
Mr.. Taft holds that the injunction is
a legitimate method of protecting
property rights of employers from in
jury at the hands of their employees.
Here we approach the heart of the
subject, but not in Mr.. Taft's company
The labor of the employee is most
valuable property right of the employ
er. The strike is direct assault upon
this property right, and derives its
efficacy from the amount of injury il
is able to inflict. If the strike can be
restrained by injunction and the Strik-
er summarily punished for contempt,
the last weapon labor has to use in its
war with capital is taken away, and
American workingmen are reduced to
a condition of slavery not less odious
than that existing in the south before
the war
And how far have we travelled in
that direction? Some years ago the
injunction was employed to prevent
the stoppage OF the U. S. mails, and
the people generally approved. But
when a closed mail sack is placed in
charge of the conductor of freight
train, the fiction becomes apparent
Under the present elastic construc
| tion,'' it might easily be possible to
enjoin a strike that interfered with in
| terstate commerce, or with any indus
| try whose product is a subject of in
| tarStatp commerce. There ic no caip
guard against such proceedings except
the character of the judges and the
amount of pressure public opinion may
be able to exert upon them. Labor
leaders have been swift to foresee
these possibilities, and they naturally
demand protection.
The democratic platform is objec
tionable because it demands special
rule in cases arising out of labor dis
Eputes. thus setting up class legislation

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

It is worth knowing that change
In food can cure dyspepsia. II deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of Indigestion.
II had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. I followed instruc-
lions and now am entirely well.
"The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial
as you see fit."
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
it also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
If that part of the human body is in
perfect working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. It is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.
