Egan Ecores States
 Law on Picketing

Things that are perfectly legal for other classes of society, are illegal for Connecticut workingmen on strike in Connecticut" according to J. P. Egan, editor of the Weekly News Let ter of the great American Federation of Labor.
 MT. Egan, who is one of the ablest men in the trade union movement,
 came to this city Sunday to speak
 before a mass meeting at the Plaza theatre, but he was too late for the
 meeting.
 in an interview with a Farmer re-
 porter to-day, MT. Egan scored Sec
 tion 1296 of the Connecticut statutes,
 which is being used to restrain labor.
 He said the number must have been derived from the year 1296 when such
 laws were in operation. The demand of Connecticut trade unionists for injunction relief should interest every liberty lover and hu-
 manitarian in this state. Organized labor asks no privileges no exemptions. It protest against privileges courts accord employers in times of strikes. > Courts in this state have held that
  lawful methods to gain>a lawful pur- pose.
 "To the average citizen this seems fair, but it should be recalled that the police statutes cover all forms of coercion, intimidation and force.
 These statutes provide that a man
 charged with law violation shall be accorded a trial by jury; that he is t@ ho
 guilty.
 "In injunction proceedings the sit
 uation is reversed. The worker is
 cited to appear before the court and show why he should not be punish ed He is assumed to be guilty and must prove his innocence to- the sat isfaction of a court that it law-maker, judge and executioner combined
 ''The injunction judge def1es prop
 erty and has given meaning to the injunction process which was never intended.
 Any lawyer will agree that the in junction process must not be used to curtail personal liberty, to punish violators of law or to be used in
 cases covered by statute. And these principles are rigidly
 adhered to by courts, except where workingmen are involved, In the latter case courts defend their posi- tion because they have classed labor as property. Labor opposes this theory because property means own ership and no employer can own the labor of free men.
 "We also insist that business is not property, and ask if a business man could secure an injunction against a fraternal society, for instance. if that organization agreed no longer to patronize the said business man. If this business man asked for an intnnation.-he would be.lauEl1ed.. out:

At times the market is somewhat reactionary and in view of large continents to the long side is sensitive to unfavorable newS. The election thus far has been an almost negligible factor, and will shortly be a matter of history. In about another week this issue will be settled and out of the way, leaving one important factor eliminated from the situation.

For the past several years few
farmers have agitated earnestly for
weed destruction. They are farmers
who have seen fields abandoned else
where because of weeds. While talk
ing earnestly they have been unable
to arouse sufficient interest to secure
action. There is a weed law, but 1t
takes community action to put 1t into
effect. and no such action has been
taken.
Thds year one OF the very best far
mers of Power county, a man who has
kept his own place free, was compel
led to NOV and burn l6O ecres OF
wheat because the jun Hill mustard
was so thick that he could not har-
vest IT.
Somebody else grew the mustard
that seeded his field.
Unless steps are taken to control
this pest many other farmers Will
have to suffer like loss. County
Agent Kjosness points the way tt
abate this nuisance, and he shoult
have the support and cooperation o
farmers and business men alike
Community spirit and cooperative ef
fort alone will solve the problem
Very soon farmers who permit seed
to develop to destroy the crops o
their neighbors will become very un
popular, but that will be too late Il
save serious loss. A careful reading
OF the article by Mr.. Kjosness Is com
mended.

and common to the whole county. The
county agent meets with innumerable
complaints from every corner but is
powerless to assist without organiz-

time to get busy is this fall and win

at which these things will be discus
sed.
