President j, Taft's "swing around

him of the true inwardness of his

At Chicago the atmosphere that

DENVER JUDGE PULLS
|NJUNCT|0NS Teeth

The decisionof Judge George w.
Allen in the district court of Denver
a few days ago has proven a severe
blow to that class of employers who
have hitherto depended upon court
injunction to whip their employees in
to docility when they had nothing
to arbitrate.''
In this instance twenty-four boss
plumbers sought to enjoin the
Plumbers union from taking such
peaceful and lawful measures as were
necessary to protect union men. In
their legal rights as citizens and to
persuade men, who had been duped
into taking their places, from contin-
uing to work. - -
This IS clear-cut victory for or
ganized labor. = =.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The actuary
OF the local labor unions has sent to
Ethelbert Stewart Of the United
States department of commerce and
labor, a report on the increased cost
of living which the unions urge shall
be made supplement of a report
that Stewart is now preparing for
the department on the occupational
risks of workingmen.
The I'll igures contain the startling
assertion that the cost of living in
Chicago has doubled since 1904. The
report argues that the wages 2of
workers have not increased more
than per cent and that the net re-
suit is decrease in wages through
a. reduction in their purchasing power
Of 80 per cent. u =. ~.

more than the man who was paid

With the rattle. of arms all around
them the leaders of the strike have
been careful to do nothing that could
train upon them the rifles and car
bines of a military despotism. !,
The strike so far, in word, has
been admirably conducted. and for
this alone: deserves the support o1
