The Difference in Judges.-Wm.
Greene writes a letter that brings up
an Interesting subject. Here is the
letter:
Editor Day Book: What difference
is there between a Judge who will al
low peaceful picketing and one who
will not? In other words, what differ
ence- is there between Judge Stewart
and Judge Windes?
In granting an injunction restrain
ing thestriking mattresses from silent
picketing, Judge Windes has taken
from the striking mattresses their Just
prerogatives.
lnjunctions prohibiting peaceful
picketing are detrimental to workers
and far more detrimental to the
judges. 1t shows up the judges in
their true colors and incuIcates into
the minds Of~the workers a cordial
hatred for modern justice and the
present application of the law.
Suppression invariably crystaIizes
into revolution. Whether the impend-
ing revolution will be political in it's
nature or industrial depends very
largely to what extent the workers
have been suppressed.
At all events, when the reaction
takes place, when the revolution
breaks forth, the powers that be will
have only themselves to blame. They
are, the creators of their own destiny.
They have seen the handwriting on
the wall, delineated in Colorado, in
Paterson, in Lawrence and in Chi
cagO.
The proletaTian is beginning to
think and when he has reached the
limit of his endurance no barriers
will be big enough or strong enough
to stand between him and industrial
freedom. s. William Greene.
Of course, the difference between
