yDCE DENIES FREE SPEECH

Detroit, Mich.-Five striking union
pattern makers have each been sent
enced to fifteen days in Jail and 500
fine for contempt Of court by Judge Van
Zile.
An injunction was issued against these
workers several weeks ago command
ing them not to picket or to visit the
homes of strikebreakers. In the case
of Business Agent Krogstad it was
shown that he had visited the home of a
strikebreaker and discussed the strike,
after which the latter declared the union
was right in its fight for better work
ing conditions. Krogstad was jailed
and fined for this disobedience of the
courts order. In sentencing him, Judge
Van Zile said:
Il want you to understand property
rights must be respected and that men
can not interfere with employees of this
shop"
Robert Schram, another striker was
found guilty of standing on corner one
block from the struck plant He was
jailed and fined when he told the court
he would continue to picket, as he was
acting within his rights.
President Wilson of the Pattern Max
ers' Leagtie of North America is in the
city aiding the strikers. He said that
the courts can send every pattern maker
in Detroit to Jail, but other pattern
makers from every city in the country
would take their places on the picket
line.
The pattern makers executive said:
They may send more of our men tc
jail But we will continue to send them
here until they quit sending them tt
Jail There is no statute in the State o
Michigan that denies the right to picket
But your State Supreme Court has sale
so. 1t is not the function of court
to legislate. If they who made the con
stitution of this country thought judge:
proper men to legislate, they would no
have provided for legislators
''We are not going to ask Detroit
trade unionists for one penny OF fnan
cial support We don't need it. Oul
members pay high dues We have
plenty of money, but we want organized
workers to give their moral support a.
an argument to show why the law of tht
State of Michigan should say tina
Judges shall not issue injunctions OF thi
kind"
