INJUNCTION JUDGE
DENIES FREE SPEECH

Chicago.-Judge Frederick Smith of
the Cook County Circuit Court has
shown how far injunction judges will 90
IN their contempt for the state bill of
rights and the federal constitution by
sentencing two striking iron workers to
jail for 10 days and pay a fine of 500
and costs.
Jan Michalek and Stanley Kaszubski
are malleable iron workers and were
employed by the Illinois Maleable Iron
Company They, together with their fel-
lows, organized union and Michalek
was elected president and Kaszubsk
secretary. The union called a strike to
enforce higher wages and Judge Smith
issued sweeping injunction against
them at the request of the company.
The court now jails these two working
men because they signed their names to
the following announcement which was
published in Polish newspaper:
"To the Strikers of the Illinois Nal
leabe Iron Co.:
Strikers meetings are held three
times week at night At these meet
ings we have crowds of people. Strik-
ers from the above concern have agreed
to stay out on strike until the company
will give in to their demands. We have
made up our minds not to pay any at
tention to the company's chasers, who
make all kinds of promises and draw
men into the shops on account of these
promises, because the scabs are cursing
not only themselves but all others, and
they claim they will strike again be-
cause they are being cheated by the COM
pany's foremen, and also because they
did not receive the wages which the
foremen promised them. These foremen
have promised gold apples on trees, and
now the scabs are getting 1.61 per day,
and they are required to give up money
to the bosses
"The committee informs the public in
the name of the strikers to stay away
from the struck shops, as this would
harm us in the battle we have been fight
ing for weeks, because we are not only
fighting for those who are striking, but
also for those who are working there.
"We request all the workingmen to
attend the meeting on Sunday, the 23rd
inst, at 2 o'clock"

UNIONISTS VISIT PRESIDENT.

shington.-President Gompers and
Secretary Morrison headed a delegation
of trade unionists who waited on Presi-
dent Wilson in behalf of remedial legis-
lation now pending or proposed.
President Gompers presented the
chief executive a copy of the resolu-
ton against militarism, passed by the
last A. F. of L. convention, and urged
that commission be appointed to in
vestigate the high cost of living.
The Porto Rico situation, together
with the Jones bill, which proposes to
deprive the people of Porto Rico of the
right of citizenship, was discussed as
were conditions in Mexico.
The president was asked to issue an
executive order granting the Saturday
half holiday for government employees
all the year round.

DAVID LEWIS.

Having been told now that the
Democratic party has nominated
him for the United States
Senate, the Hon. David j.
Lewis may now be expected to
go to work with the vigor and
good sense that have made him
so successful a campaigner in
the past.
If there is one principle with
regard to public Office which the
American people should adhere
to more strictly than any other,
it is that faithful work in office
should be rewarded. Mr.. Lewis
has proved himself an excep-
tionally able and useful Con-
gresham. Very few Represen-
tatives, in this State or any
other, have so quickly made
themselves important factors in
the work of the House or so we'll
maintained promptly gained
reputation. His efforts in be-
half of the parcel post constitute
only a part of his useful activi-
ties. Only a few days ago Fin
the House Speaker Clark, SUNNI
ing up the work of the Demo-
cratic Congress, referred. to
David ]. Lewis, the able chair
man of the Labor Committee in
the House also the next Sena-
tor from Maryland-a student,
philosopher and worker. F" The
description is perfectly accurate.
the prophecy will doubtless prove
equally so.
So competent, indeed, has Mr..
Lewis proved in office that Mary
land would cast doubts upon its
capacity for selfgovernment if it
failed to give him the promotion
he so richly deserves. And that
would still be true if his
opponent in the present contest
