New York Decision is
Unjust.

I'VE can't help what decisions are
handed down by Judges was the
answer of A. L. Trick, president OF
the Iowa Federation of Labor to a
request for his opinion of the ruling
Of Justice Golf of New York that a
strike which demands the closed
shop, is a conspiracy in restraint OF
trade.
Justice Goff's decision granted an
Injunction to a manufacturer in re
straint of acts of violence. threats

Parades of protest broke out when
the decision was announced.
"The primary purpose OF this
strike was the judges finding, is
not to better the condition of the
workman. but is to deprive othel
men of the opportunity Of their right
TO work.
"Organized labor will live in spite
of these unjust rulings said Mr.
Trick. Mr.. Urick is president OF the
Iowa Federation of Labor. "Withou

itors here since Saturday with rela-
tives. and the former is the son of the

talk with Agent E. R. Boiler. Mr.. b.
Ter was a former Iowa boy, but has
been in Texas since the first of the
year, and is "in love" with the coun
try in that section. Keokuk he says
has aided greatly with other Iowa
cities in building up the distributing
business, express centers which
reach out every where and exchange
fruits and otter staples OF every day
life with each other.
The distributing station at Paris.

various crops more than a hundred
per cent since the establishment of

distributing system Next year the
amount of Texas products shipped to
Iowa and to Keokuk will be many
times greater than this year.
The produce distributed from the
EXPRESS office of the United States

vital force which is welded by honest
toll and labor that the general assem-
bly, of Iowa in it's twenty-third session
set apart day to be observed by the
people of this commonwealth as one

by desire that all classes of wage

condition. Labor is plenty and the
industrial activities of the state are
reaching point of productivity never
before equalled. The relations be-
tween capital and labor are amicable.
