Boycotting
Is Legal

Memphis, Tenn, June 27-The right
to boycott and to peacefully picket
has been upheld in decree by Chan
col,or Hieskell of this city. The de-
cree was the notification of a temper
ary injunction granted to a foundry
company against the machinists' and
iron molders' unions. The original
Injunction restrained the members OF
these unions from picketing and pub
fishing the name of the company on
the unfair list. The chancellor sus-
tainad the contention of the strikers
mat they had the right to publish the
name of the foundry company on the
unfair list and also upheld the union, =
contentious that they had the right to
EnaacefuIIy picket the plant.

Protest Stirs
Prosecution

Lawrence, Mass, July 3. -(Special.)
lit is becoming evident that the pro-
secution in the r-Giovannitti case
is feeling the effects of the protests
against the continued Imprisonment of
the two men that are pouring in on
all sides. The local press prints a
Salem disptach that was evidently in
spired by District Attorney Atwill, If
not actually written by him; that re-
lfers to iabor's protests and seeks to
throw the blame for the Imprisonment
of the two men on the defence. The
dispatch states positively that the
trial will not lake place in July, as
| it was postponed until the September
term at the earnest desire Of the cocn-
sci for the defence. No such desire
was expressed; nor was There amy
agreement to that effect. The trial
was continued until such time as the
defense was ready to go ahead. The
defence is now ready; not only is it
ready, but eager for trial; it will make
a strenuous effort to have the same
take place in July. The defense is
naturally opposed to having its clients
in prison during the hot spell that
District Attorney Atwill may spend a
vacation at some summer resort or IN
some cool country nook. The defence
is confident of the Issue. Both the
evidence and the law are on its side.
According to ex-Judge O. N. Hilton,
who is q recognized authority on Grim
inal law, the outcome Is wholly de-,
pendent on the composition of the
jury; with fair and impartial jury 20
consider the case, victory is certain.
Other symptoms showing the effects
of the protest are in evidence here.
Commissioner of Public Safety Lynch
refuses the use of the Common for To-
cal protest purposes. The refusal has
created a great deal of Ill feeling. the
present sentiment is in favor OF hold
ing the meeting in spite OF Lynch.
Interest in the case continues 70
grow. The legal status of the impri-
soned men is being eagerly discussed
It is held that should their trials not
take place in July they could swear
out writ of habeas corpus on the
grounds that they are being ''detain-
ed an undue length of time" 1t isl
alos pointed out that while Section l,
Chapter 1911, Laws of Massachusetts
denies the right of habeas corpus tori
persons indicted for felony, Article ~
d. s Constitution provides for a
speedy trial of the accused in all Grim
inal prosecutions. The defence will
demand a speedy trial.
The legal fraternity is beginning TO
take lively interest in the case be-
cause of the important legal principles
involved. Requests are coming In Tor
information bearing on the case. Miss
Jessie Ashley. a prominent lawyer OF
New York City, visited Lawrence yes
terday, In order to personally defve
into the legal aspects. She intends
to prepare some articles bearing on
them.
More important still Is the spread
of working class interest. AS shown IN

Atlanta Georgian., 1912-06-15

Man has the power of thought, the driving force of
ambition; therefore, Individually and in groups,
forge ahead and classes established.
Without the establishment of classes, and the in
cenves of vanity, selshness and the other passions
which we owe our growth, there would have been
progress.
The problem is not as poor, ignorant Keir Hardie
says Ito wipe Out class, but to extend classes and 10
make ever broader and nearly universal the
privileges enjoyed by few in the classes
Once there in this world class of OWNERS
OF BAIHIUBS. MS class consisted of Rona.'
en1perors and few patricans and rich vulgarians.
THEY had bathtubs; the others had none.
Keir Hardie would have destroyed the bathtubs,
thus eliminating the bathtub class.
But nature and human evolution wiser than Keir
Hardie, made the bathtub class BIGGER. 1t in
cludes miiiions-and many Socialists are included
among the millions in the batEfub class.
Mr.. Ker Hardie wants revolution to wipe out
classes. No revolution has wiped out class or
will do that Revolutions help of one class
TO climb up into another cass-but the classes
eliminated.
You will slways have classes, MIR. Ker Harde,
while you have selhshness cunning and unusual abil
ton. And you viii still have classes when humanity
shall have progressed to heights of which do not
dream. MIR. Hardies slight ability has raised him
above his fellowsand he has not the slightest nten
hon of going back whence he came.

Encourage those that have power to take inter-
est In the weakly EDUCATION.
Fight injustice Uf!DER THE LEADERSHIP OF
EDUCATION
Remember that in the French Revolution---the
greatest and nobest of all revolutions-not single
lacking education to the front. There
any leader with little education and knowledge
Keir Hardie possesses.
Mirabeau, the educated man, the of rich
bIean the brilliant courtier, helped to start the Revo
luton with his great speech and his speeches that fol-
lowed
Camille Desraoulns an educated man, helped it
with his speech in the Palais Royal.
Danton Robesperre, both lawyers and of
unusual brillancy, did great work Marat the bril-
liant physician and saturnine genius, would perhaps
have made the Revolution a permanent success and
headed off Napoleon had he not been murdered
Madame Roland, and dozens of other Frenchmen
and French women, EDUCATED, intelligent, far
above the average, helped the Revolution
And the most intelligent of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centures-Voltare, Rousseau, DAlem-
bert, Condorcet ali the yclopedists-powed the
ground for the great Revolution.
Every one of them belonged to a "cIass," and
could not be found in a nation devoid Of classes If
the classes had not existed in France there would not
have been revoution-there would have been tribe
of stupid brutal ignorant "ctizons" with no especial
powe of leadership
Without class and the power of class nothing

would be done in England or in any other country to
help the world along.
The foundation must be lifted slowly Mr. Hardie
foolish when he that he is not going Ito patch
the existing order of society and make it little
tolerable," but that he is going ito overthrow
the existing order and build up something entirely
If Mr.. Keir Hardie had the gout the rheumatism
and the toohache he would go doctor and dentist
and say, "Patch up" He would not be at all
pleased if the doctor and the dentist said "No: we
going to hit you the head, and Guild up an en-
trely Keir Hardie."
The human race, human society must be treated
Just the doctors treat patient. Sometimes there
must be surgical operation and leg off, or even
part of lung removed-that is like the French Revo-
ution or the Revolution of Cromwell
Sometimes a little massage, a little osteopatbic
treatment will
But everything must be done by patching up. You
knock the social organization on the head and
build it up afresh.
Good MIR. Keir Harde, with his cap and his bar.
barous whiskers and his rank pipe and his untdv
clothes, would be quite happy if he could "make the
nation consist of citizens by which he MEANS make
the whole nation LIKE HIM.
We beg to assure MIR. Ker Hardie that the dav
