He who would seek its aid in equity
must do equity and must come into court
with clean hands.
It must never be used to curtail per
sonal rights.
1t must not be used ever in an effort
to punish crime.
There must be no other adequate rem
edy at law.
IT MUST NOT BE USED AS A
MEANS TO SET ASIDE TRIAL BY
JURY
Injunctions as issued against workmen
are never used or issued against any other
citizen of our country.
1t is an attempt to deprive citizens Of
our country, when these citizens are work
men, of the right of trial by jury.
1t is an effort to fasten an offense on
them when they are innocent of any I'M
lawful or illegal act.
1t is an indirect assertion of a property
right in men when these men are workmen
engaged in lawful effort to protect or
advance their natural rights and interests
lnJunctions as issued in trade disputes
are to make outlaws of men when they are
not even charged with doing things in
violation of any law of State or Nation
The injunction which the courts issue
against Labor are supposed by them to be
good enough law today, when there ex-
lists dispute between workmcn and their
employers; but it is not good LAWN
fact, is not law at alI-tomorrow or next
day when no such labor dispute exists.
The issuance of injunctions in labor
disputes is not based upon law, but is
species of judicial legislation, judicial
usurpation, in the interests of the money
power against workmen innocent of any
unlawful or criminal act
The doing of the lawful acts enjoined

by the courts renders the workmen guilty
of contempt of court, and punishable by
fine or Imprisonment or both
In all things in which workmen are
enJoined by the process of an injunction
during labor disputes, if those acts are
criminal or unlawful, there is now ample
law and remedy covering them From
the logic of this there is no escape
No act is legally crime unless there
is law designating it and specifying it
to be crime.
No act is unlawful unless there be, a
law on the statute books designating and
specifying it to be unlawful; hence, it
follows that:
No act is criminal or unlawful unless
be exercised for the protection of property
there is law prohibiting its commission.
We assert that Labor asks no immunity
for any of its men who may be guilty
of any criminal or unlawful act
1t insists upon the workers being re-
garded and treated as equals before the
law with every other citizen: that if any
act be committed by any one of our mum
Der, rendering him amenable to the law,
he shall be prosecuted by the ordinary
| forms of law and by the due process of
law, and that an injunction does not law
fully and properly apply and ought not
to be issued in such cases.
The injunction process as applied to
men engaged in dispute with en-
ployers includes the allegation of criminal
or unlawful acts, as mere pretext, so
that the lawful and innocent acts in
themselves may also be Incorporated and
covered by the blanket injunction. And
the performance of the lawful and limo
cent acts in themselves despite the in
Junction renders them at once guilty Of
contempt of the court IS order which is
sunlmarily punished by fine or imprison-
nlent, or both.
In itself the writ Of injunction is of a
highly important and beneicient char
acter Its aims and purposes are for the
protection of property rights. It never
was intended, and never should be invoked
for the purpose of depriving free men
of their personal rights, the right of
man 8 ownership of himself; the right of
free locomotion, free asscmblage, free as
soclation, free speech, free press, the
freedom to do those things promotive of
life, liberty and happiness, and which
are not in contravention of~the law of
our land
We re-asscrt that we ask no immunity
for ourselves or for any other man who
may be guilty of any unlawful or criminal
act; but we have right to insist, and we
DO insist, that when workman is charged
with crime or any unlawful conduct,
he shall be accorded every right, be appre-

NEWS OF THE

Nominations for District officers We're
closed on December 3lst The hist of

anticipated.
Vlce-President Lanham and Secretary
/ Morris attended the meeting of the
Greencastle Local on Monday evening and
adjusted q grievance very satisfactorily.
Messrs. Lanha mand Hastings adjusted
grievance at Powellton Tuesday evening
and report everything moving nicely at
that place.
President Davis and Secretary Morris
are very busy arranging their business
in order to attend the International Con
vention on the 18th.
The officers of this District are certain
~ to be congratulated upon their success
in building up the organization during
the past year against such heavy odds.
The organization is now stronger than
at any time since the 1906 strike and
speaks volumes for the work of the Off
Gals
The miners of this district are more
than ordinarily interested in the coming
annual convention of the United Mine
Workers of America which will be held in
indianapolis on January 18th At this
time announcement will be made of the
result of the great battle which has been
waged between Thomas L. Lewis and Will
liam Green, of Columbus, Ohio, for the
National Presidency.
In discussing the installation of tele.
phones in the mines, an exchange says:
1t would not be difficult matter to
wire the workings in our coal mines and
install telephones. For that matter the
wires could be inclosed in pipes: I'm
doubleday the telephone would greatly ia
cilitate the efforts of the rescuers in case
OF great disaster. Those .entombed could
communicate with the surface and direct
the rescuers. AS factories and mills
where many men work are equipped with
telephones by which firemen and police
men can be summoned-in case of neces-
sity, why should not the coal mine be sim
ilarly equipped.
Even where great calamity has not
occurred many cases would doubtless arise
in which the telephone would be a bles
sing. A miner caught by fall of slate
and badly injured might still be able to
call Tor help through the telephone.

MAXIM NOISELESS RIFLE.
What a Test of the New Gun DEM
onStrated

test, made at the Springfield arm
ory, of the noiseless rife invented by
Hudson Maxim. is described in Ma
chinery Says this paper:
THE test demonstrated that the re-
port of service army rifle was so
reduced by the device as to be inaudi-
bic at distance of $50 feet from the
person firing The invention is of a
nature similar to the muffler of gas
engine. Its essential parts are valve
that closes the bore of the gun imme-
diately after the projectile has passed
the valve. This closure of the valve
prevents the sudden expansion of the
gases, the gases being emitted slowly.
The result is that the characteristic
report of rifle is reduced three
fourths in loudness, it being judged by
the officials who were present that the
efficiency of the apparatus was about
seventy-four per cent. In the report
of the test it is stated that upon firing,
the report was like the swapping of
ones fingers accompanied by slight
kissing as the gases escaped. The
firingpin was much sharper than the
report of the piece. The invention
appears to be entirely practicable and
1t is thought that it will work a revo-
luton in warfare. The firing line of
an army equipped with noseless and
smokeless rifles will be very hard to
locate, as there will be neither noise
nor smoke to guide the observer as to
the position of the enemy. A danger
Gus feature of the new weapon is that
it lends itself admirably to the coward
ly assassin. With noiseless gun it
will be possible to shoot down a man
in the street without alarming the po-
lice. On the other hand, as a game
gun the new rife will be highly priced,
it being possible with it to shoot an
animal without soaring the remainder
of the herd; but even that has its
drawback, as 1t will tend to make the
business of pot-hunting successful"

be seen lined completely with the sets
of drawers and cabinets in which cor
respondence is put away for future
reference. In the hands of careless
employees, who may leave drawers and
lockers open or partially so, even for
a short time, the room presents a de-
cidedly disorderly appearance. So to
overcome this the self-closing drawer
has been designed. This automatic
movement on the part Of the drawer
is accomplished by constructing the
drawer on a pair Of inclined runways
with an arrangement of ianges, so
that as the drawer Is left in an ex-
tended position it's weight will gradu-
ally carry it down the incline and
back to it's place. 1t is impossible to
leave the drawer standing open.
