sued by our courts generally carry
the following: From attempting
by payment or promise of money,
employment or other reward to in-
duce employees of the complainant
to lsave their employment.
In other words, we cannot pay
strike benefits, feed hungry strikers
and their families or secure en-
ployment for them elsewhere, but
we must leave them to the tender
mercies of the complainant until
they are starved into submission.
1T is needless to say that this
is not law, but that the most ma
licious and unwarranted distortion
of law. No act of our legislature
ever conferred upon our courts
such tights, nor never intended
that OR courts would permit them
selves to be used SO shamelessly in
twisting our laws from their in
tended purpose and denying work
ing men the rights guaranteed un-
der the Constitution. :"

Chester Park is this season q
veritable beehive of activity. Four

big conclusion of the Chester sea

A Singing Indictment.

New York, July 1.-The new
York World says that the ladies
garment manufacturers who have
locked out their employees have
rendered their position more and
more inexcusable in the eyes of
disinterested observers.
They deliberately violated their
own written agreements and bust
ness engagements when they made
taste paper of the potocol In
their arrogance they ignored The
mayors appeal to them for medi-
alton. Their one plan has been
through hunger and suffering, to
reduce their employees to yield alb
solutely on their terms. They
have had no decent defense to offer
at any stage FOR their faithless and
oPpressl methods. Th y have
relied entirely upon the hope that
they would be able to break down
the conrage and will of men and
women workers dependent upon
daily earnings for exis' 'ence. And
they have failed.
