ton is not whether workingmen shall
sometimes have notice of court pro-
ceedinga before they are enjoined
from doing something which they
claim the right to do. 1t is whether
the process of injunction shall be so
used as virtually to put innocent men
upon trial for alleged crimes, includ-
ing libel, according to the practice
in chancery instead of the practice of
the criminal conrts. In chancery the
testimony is given by affidavit, with
out the protection of jury trial. Con-
sequently working men may be-in-
deed have been-punished arbitrarily
for criminal acts of which they are
presumably innocent, upon mere aft
davits, without juries, and upon the
say.so of judge. Since Mr.. Taft
favors abolition of the jury system,
it is not strange that he overlooks the
essential point IN the labor injunction
question. But all the same, the in
functions which he defends are in
vasive of the criminal sphere of juris-
prudence, and subversive of the prin-
ciple of jury trial.
