This is what Meyer London of New

makers Of Hartford, Conn, told the
manufacturers at the hearing for an
injunction against picketing a few
days ago, says the Minnesota Union
Advocate.
In the name of Davidson & Watts.
cloakmakers, recently removed from
New York to Hartford, the trusts in
Connecticut brought suit against tif-
teen labor organizations in the latter
city for the encouragement they had
given the strikers from the shop of
the complainant and asked for an ill.,
junction against these organizations
restraining them from intimidation.
fraud and violence"
The hearing resulted in the quash-
ing of the suits against twelve Of the
defendant organizations, the firm fall
ing utterly to prove that these twelve
had in any way injured their business.
Numerous residents Of the city volun-
tarily appeared in court and testified
that the pickets had conducted them
selves in most orderly and peaceful
manner. And it was brought out in
the testimony that many women were
so impressed by the reserve and dig
nifty of the strikers that they offered
them a place in which 10 carry on
their campaign for winning over to
their side the nonunon employees in
the Davidson & Watts shop.
The argument of the bosses to prove
violence on the part of the strikers
was riddled by the police themselves.
They testified that the pickets con-

but Il strike sympathzer
Realizing that the demand by David
son x Watts for an injunction was
merely cloak for the evident inten-
ton of the manufacturers association
of the city, which includes representa-
tives of number of trusts. to crush
unionism. the Central Labor union re-
Quested Meyer London of New York to
assist In the defense of the suits. Dur
ing his speech in the case Mr.. London
made his plutocratic auditors gasp by
informing them that all their efforts to
escape or stamp out unionism were
like trying to stem the oceans tide
with broom; that all over the United
States wOrkingmen are discovering
their real situation and beginning 10
see that their only salvation is in or
ganization. Much as this information
must have annoyed the manufacturers.
London told them the best thing they
can do is to begin to realize that this
is the era of labor, that organization
and solidarity among the toilers and
producers is necessary and that en-
ployers might as well make up their
minds as to the inevitability Of trade
unionism and the impossibility of per-
manently crushing it.

WORKERS COMPENSATION.
Validity of New York Law Upheld by
the Court.

the Court.
A decision has Just been handed
down by the New York supreme court
in Erie county holding the workmens
compensation act of 1910 (chapter 67H
constitutional The question WIS rails
ed before Justice Pound. The case is
Ives versus South Buffalo Railway
company. The plaintiff stated in his
complaint that he was employed as a
twitchman by the South Buffalo Rail
way company and was injured in the
prosecution Of his work without negli-
gence on his part and without serious
or willful misconduct, but solely by
reason of the necessary risk or danger
of his employment.
The defendant asserted that the act
was unconstitutional. Prior to the en-
plaintiff would not be entitled to re-
cover anything. so that the sole ques-
ton before the court was as to wheth-
err the statute was constitutional. The
act was attacked on the ground that 1t
unduly Disseminated against railroads
and other employments classified as
dangerous emplOyments. The court
held that there was no discrimination;
that the classification was sound one
and not frivolous. The next point
raised was that the act imposed liza
biity without fault.
Justice Pound cited a number of
other instances In which the common
law imposed liability without fault
such as the liability of the husband
for the torts of his wife or master for
the acts of his servant, and held that
this did not make the act unconstitu-
tional. The court held that the act
came within the principle laid down by
Holden versus Hardy, 1863 U. s.. 366,
and which was recognized in the case
of Lockner versus New York. 1S9 U. S..
As. which is the case recently criticised
by President Roosevelt, and cited this
case as an authority for upholding the
constitutionality of this act.
The decision Of Justice Pound is in
tereSting as being the first in which the
conSlilutionality of the act has been
squarely passed upon.

Colorado Court Declares Anti coercion
Law Invalid.
The Colorado anti-coercion law, en-.
acted twenty years ago. which pro
vides that no employer shall discharge
an employee because he belongs to
labor union or attends labor meetings,
has been declared invalid by Judge
Sullivan of that state
The law. regarded as the strongest
in Colorado for the protection of la
Dor unions. has never before been at
tackled. The decision resulted from a
suit brought by Labor Commissioner
Brake against Mcneil Bros. operators
of a coal mine at Cameo, who dis
charged and evicted twenty three men
In their employ.
This decision Is one of many that
shows the inequality that labor suf-
fers in the administration of law. This
decision grants to the employers of
Colorado the right to blacklist work
ingmen who belong to labor unions or
take any part In their work. But. on
the other hand. the United States su-
preme court denies to labor the right
of a defense through the boycott.
which Is the most effective weapon
that labor has to meet its opponents
who use the blacklist. Such q decision
favors the employer at the expense of
the workingman and Is a decision in
the interest Of one class to the disad-
vantage of another and is therefore a
class decision. against which labor
protests and which 1t is seeking to
remedy through labor legislation that
President Taft declares is calculated
to give to labor unequal privileges.
The laboring man and the trade un.
ionists ask only equality before the
law, but if the courts declare the
blacklist to be legal and the boycott
to be illegal the laboring man does not
get equality before the law, and no
amount of sophistry can conceal the
fact.

Ohio Wesleyan university in a recent
address on labor laws declared very
justly that the Interpretation placed
on labor legislation by the courts fire.
quently operates so that the employer
is able to turn the constitution into an
instrument Of inequality" And the
decision Of the Colorado judge is a
case in point.

Come, listen my wegeworking brother.
And learn why your troubles endure.
Don't think that kind Nature, yom
mother,
Intends such as you TO be poor
On you lies the fault, II there's any.
Don't blame men like Morgan or Gould,
For how can the few rule the many
II the many refuse to be ruled?
As long as you kneel you'll be tiouted;
As long as you're meek youH meet
scorn:
As long as you fear you'll be routed;
AS long as you yield you'll be shorn
Through ups and through downs stand
together.
Be true to your leaders, like men.
When you're beaten don't show the white
feather.
But rally for battle again.
Don't build up a schemer's ambition
Don't put a good man on the shelf;
Don't give to base politician
The vote you might cast for yourself
March forward with purposes blended.
And better be safe than too fast
Some day the long strife VIII be ended
A unionized nation at last!

DEMAND THE LABEL.
Workers Need Feel No Shame In Ask
ino For Union Made Goods.

ing For Union Made Goods.
There is no occasion for u union man
or woman to blush or hang his or her
head when asking for union made
goods bearing the union label. This
little emblem of fairness and honesty
ON everything you buy tells its story
Of honor and trade unionism and as
such should be respected by all who
come In contact with it.
The way some stanch unionists go
about buying union made goods re-
minds one of school child of the kin
dergarten class spending her first pen
nv in the candy store. when she does
not know what she wants and would
be afraid to ask for 1t If she did.
There is an absolute lack Of neces,
sity for any such conduct or bashfui-
ness in such cases. and the union man
or woman should be proud In asking
for goods bearing the label instead or
seemingly being ashamed of it. When
YOU purchase the products of your CO.
workers In the army of labor see that
the label of unionism Is on 1t. and II
It is not do not invent some excuse for
not buying and sneak out of the store,
but make bold demand for the label,
and If the storekeeper has not what
you want bearing 1t tell him frankly
why you cannot deal with him and in
form him when he sells goods bearing
the label you will become his custom
er. You don't blush nor seem embar-
raised when you receive your union
wages. why should you do so when
asking for union labeled goods! You
have earned your money honestly. See
that you spend 1t honestly.
Think It over and the next time you
30 to buy anything heed Its precepts'
The union label stands for the protec-
ton of Just and honorable employers
from competition by cheap labor rivals
fair wages for the laborer and better
trade conditions. 1t guarantees the
workmen a better living, shorter hours
and more money. Therefore there Is
no reason why you should not demand
the union label. Demand the union
label all the time.-Streator Gazette.

Insurance For Brewery Workers.

Pittsburg United Brewery Workers
have sanctioned Il plan of insurance
in which both workers and employers
will cooperate and by which some 600
members of the three local unions
will be benefited. Employers will pay
SIS Il year for each member of the
union employed into fund into which
the union will pay So. The fund will
be controlled by commission of sew
en- members. three chosen by the EN-
ployers. three by the union and the
seventh by the six representing en-
ployers and employees. A workman
injured in the course of his employ
ment shall receive 60 per cent of the
amount of wages earned. provided the
disability continues for more than ten
days. He shall not receive compensa-
tion for any one injury for a longer
period than tifty-two weeks. In case
t death through accidental injury an
amount equal to four years wages
shall be paid the dependents of the
workman. 1t is expected that in time
there will be sufficient cash reserve to
permit of an old age pension fund.
