u. 5. SUPREME COURT
USURPED ITS POWER

Cincinnati. = "The average American
is not aware that the power to declare
federal legislation unconstitutional was
usurped instead of being granted by the
constitution or provided for through an
act of congress-" writes Editor Frey in
the International Molders' Journal.
From a small beginning, like the en-
tering of the thin edge of wedge, the
power usurped by the United States su-
preme court developed and grew until
it SO over-topped the legislative func-
tions of congress that the stage was
reached where many of the acts enacted
by congress are held to be of little i'm
portance until the United States supreme
court has passed upon them, and its
members have declared themselves as to
its constitutionality, striking illustra-
ton of this being the Adamson bill es-
tablishing change in the hours of la
Dor and earnings for railway employees
when the delegates who framed the
constitution of the United States were
in session, three efforts were made to
give the supreme court the right to de-
clare acts OF congress unconstitutional
and each attempt suffered an over
whelming defeat, but a little handful of
the delegates favored giving the court
such powers. 1t was not until the time
of Chief Justice Marshall that any at
tempt was made by this court to usurp
powers not given to it by the consttu-
ton, and Justice Marshall, knowing the
temper of the people, inserted a very
thin edge of wedge which, without
doubt, he felt confident would have, such
weight pressed behind it by the supreme
court as would in time open wide the
thin breach he had started
The supreme courts of the several
States followed closely upon the heels
of the United States supreme court and
through the power which they have
usurped, it has been most difficult, if
not impossible, to secure legislation
which would adequately meet the prob
lens of today.
"The courts of no other civilized land
would dare set aside the laws enacted
by the national legislative body.
$50 long as the question of whether
we may enjoy law enacted by congress
is left in the hands of the United States
supreme court we are governed not by
congress but by nine men sitting upor
the supreme court bench"

LABOR INJUNCTION ~ VI
IS CUNNING SCHEME

Springfield, Ill.-"Why do our enc
mics contend that injunctions are more
effective than laws in the prevention of
unlawful threats, intimidation and vio-
lence?" asked Secretary Olander OF the
State Federation OF Labor at IA legisa
tive hearing on labor's request for all
injuncton-lm bill
Then the trade unionst answered his
question as follows
IF they (employers) expressed their
real opinions they would say frankly
that violence can only be dealt with ef-
fectively through the law, and that vlo-
lence is only referred to i'll labor in
functions for three purposes; first, to
ease the conscience OF the Judge who
issues the injunction; second, to preju-
dice the public mind against the strik-
ers; thrd-and most sinister-for the
purpose of breaking down all legal safe
guards against false accusations and
thus making it simple matter to con-
vict the innocent. | say that is the de-
liberate purpose OF our enemies Avoid
ing the direct charge of violence, which
is crime under the law, they substi-
tute a charge of contempt of court, and
thus they prevent trial by jury, obtain
convictions on afidavits made by spies
and professional strikebreakers, and
deprive the accused striker of the safe
guards against false accusation and un-
fair conviction with which the law sur
rounds even the meanest criminal.
Conviction OF the innocent becomes
easy-that is why our enemies prefer
to use the equity Judge and his injunc-
tions rather than to appear in the law
court, where the law-not the Judge
is supreme, and where a jury may pass
on the guilt or innocence OF the defend
ant.
"a person charged with crime in a
law court is assumed to be innocent rln-
til proven guilty. But the assumption
is reversed in the equity court, where
he is summoned to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt
in other words, he is assumed to be
guilty until he perjures himself by prov
ing innocence.
1--WE make the same complaint against
the injunction judges as the early
American patriots made against King
George OF England
"'He has combined with others to
subject us to jurisdiction foreign to
our constitution and acknowledged by
laws; giving his assent to their acts oi
pretended legislation
"And among their indictments against
the king we find the following
"'For depriving us in many cases o
the benefits of trial by jury.

OPPOSE APPRENTICE RULES.

Sacramento, Cal. : Anti-union en-
ployers were present in large numbers
at legislative committee hearing on a
bill making it unlawful to limit the num-
Der of apprentices in any trade. Trade
unionists opposed the bill and President
Mccarthy of the State Building Trades
Council made this point against employ
ers who plead "give the American boy
chance:"
'Under present conditions it would be
possible to employ 1850 apprentice car
penters in San Francisco and vicinity
alone Yet there are but $50 In other
words, these employers who charge that
we are Withholding the opportunity for
American boys to obtain employment are

COAL PRICES MUST BE REDUCED

Washington, d, C.-The Federal
Trade Commission has notified leading
anthracite coal producers that any fail
ure to grant the usual spring price re-
ductions can not be justified by claims
of increased cost OF production. The
commission has heard, the notice says,
that producers intend either to with
draw or reduce the regular seasonal dis
counts on the ground OF alleged mining
costs.
In its inquiry into the cost OF mining
anthracite. the report on which Will
soon be issued, the commission has OBJ
tanned detailed information on the costs
of companies which mined, in 1916,
about rs per cent of the total production
OF anthracite. This information says
the commission, obtained directly from
the records OF the companies referred
to, indicates no increase in average cost
in the last four months OF 1916, and
further indicates an actual decrease OF
cost in the case OF some OF the com
panies whose cost OF production IS
high"

NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS
LOSE, BUT REALLY WIN

Bismarck, n. D.-The Farmers Non
Partisan League has lost its first fight
in the State legislature, recently adj
journed, but the farmers have won a
great moral victory, faith in themselves
and a determination to wrest the Sen
ate-the last stand OF privilege in this
State-from railroad and milling in
terests.
The league was formed two years ago,
after the legislature refused to build
State terminal elevator, which was in
dorsed by a vote OF the people 1t is
charged that the big milling interests,
especially, blocked the peoples man
date. The farmers selected their candi
dates for the primaries regardless OF
party. These candidates entered the
primaries on their party tickets and
members of the league who belonged to
parties other than the indorsed candi-
dates, reiraMed from voting for candi-
dates on their tickets for the same OF
fee.
By this method the league swept the
primaries. At the general election all
members voted for the indorsed candi-
dates, with the result that the league
elected SO members out of 112 in the
House OF Representatives, and IS out
OF "a State senators.
With this solid pha1anx the farmers
entered the State Legislature, to be con-
fronted by 25 hold over senator's, 90 of
whom acted with the new senator's to
defeat the league. The strongest fight
was waged on, new State constitution,
urged by the league. 1t passed the
House, but was rejected by the Senate
by vote OF 90 to 81.
Although defeated in their first legis-
lative contest, members OF the league
are enthusiastic over their discovery OF
the power OF organization and their sue
cess in uniting 10000 farmers scattered
over North Dakota's prairies. Prepa-
rations are already under way to cap
ture the State Senate at next years
elections
Plans have also been perfected to ex-
tend the leagues operations to other
States, and headquarters have been
opened in St, Paul. The farmers quick
ly realized the necessity for publicity
and have established two powerful
newspapers.

DRUGS WHICH CAUSE LOSS OF SIGHT.

In pamphlet No. 16. Conservation OF
Vision Series, American Medical asso-
citation. DR.. Edward jackson gives
much valuable Information about the
effects OF certain drugs on vision, some
of which follow:
Wood ALCOHOL man alone on
a ranch in Wyoming went on a wood
alcohol jag. The e day he was
vomiting. Three days later he noticed
that the sky seemed cloudy. About
noon he recognized that the loud was
in his eyes. He caught IL horse and
managed to reach his nearest ranch
neighbor before he became totally
blind.
Ordinary Alcohol Men vary in
the amount Of alcohol they can stand
and also in the length OF time they can
use 1T without recognizing defnit
signs of chronic poisoning. In impair
what for a given man is a beyond his
ticed that a cloud obscures the object
colors is lost early.
Persons who use tobacco and alcohol
are more liable to impairment of vision
THAI those who use n drug only.
In addition to the effect of alcohol
o vision it produces Il neuritis which
may be called rheumatism. Many per-
sons who describe themselves as be-
ing full of rheumatism are suffering
from alcoholic neuritis.
Impairment of vision from tobacco

1t has been proven that the seat OF
appetite lies above the neck. Hunger
is caused by c"ontractions of the stom-
ach. Appetite is dependent on taste,
smell, memor and mental state.
Therefore every impulse concerned with
appetite lies in the brain. or gets there

~ one manifestation of a tinicky mind.
When this particular manifestation Of

that other manifestations will develop.

II will have to be manifested at some
later and more trying point, or else

cloudy. Objects at one side are seen
clearly but If the Eyes are turned
toward the object at the side the object
appears clouded
Color blindness develops, but it, too,
has pe~culiarities. For instance, \
large red object appears red. III a small
red object is looked 1t directly Its red

the small red object he held at one side
of the direct line of vision the red color

J Coffee. tea and chocolate impairment
Of vision is an occasional result OF long
continued over use OF coffee, tea or
chocolate.
Quinine-Quinine blindness is apt
to develop suddenly. When it so de-
velops it probably will clear up in n
few days after the use of the drug has
been discontinued. The blindness varies
from slight blurring of vision to abso-
lutte blindness.
The blindness from quinine differs
from that due to wood alcohol in that
after the drug has been stopped the
blindness tends to clear up even though
it has been absolute. whereas the blind
ness from wood alcohol tends to grow
worse steadily even though the use Of
the drug was discontinued while the
blindness was yet partial.
The blindness of quinine differs from
that OF tobacco in that the eye sees
best that which it is looking at directly.
The objects seen through the corners
of the eyes" are hazy.
