COMMENT.

The decision of the Washington
state supreme court declaring picket.
ing illegal is not received by the or
ganized labor forces with favor. 1t
is pointed out that 1t is in direct OPP
position to the principle of the fed
eral law, which the labor forces adj
vocated before congress for years
prior to its passage. The ruling Of
the state court emphasizes the fact
that the progressive forces are help
less until the wings of the courts are
clipped. In face Of the overwhelm-
ing defeat Of the anti-picketing law
at the polls by the people of the state,
the supreme court has enacted this
law. thus serving notice on the people
that they do not know what is good
for themselves. 1t is apparent that
the supreme court Is hep" to the
general belief that while labor may
be industrially strong it is woefully
weak politically. The question Of
replacing reactionary judges with
progressive men must necessarily be
made q paramount issue. The slogan
of the interests, "the courts should
be held sacred" is fast losing its
force. No thoughtful person believes
that elevation to the bench changes
a mans character. A Judge 10 just
