REGULATING LABOR AGITAToRs

Michigan's legislature would do well
TO emulate the example OF the legis-
lature OF the state OF Minnesota which
recently passed a bill curbing the ac-
lions OF /. w. W.'s and other agitators.
The act was passed with but two dis,
senting votes and on April IL was
signed by Governor Burnquist
The law came about as result OF
the great amount OF trouble which the
Mesaba and Guyana ranges have had
during the last two years with labor
agitators and is one which would be
Of great help in Michigan to the iron
and copper regions and every indust-
rial center i'm the state. II is aimed at
criminal syndicalism which is defined
as the doctrine which advocates crime,
sabotage, violence or other unlawful
methods OF terrorism as a means OF
accomplishing industrial or political
ends, and is declared TO be felony
whether the advocacy OF such doctrine
IS by word OF mouth or writing. Per-
sons found guilty OF such a felony are
liable TO Imprisonment for not more
than five years or by fine of not more
than $1,000.
The bill is further strengthened by
a provision making ii felony punish
able by Imprisonment for ten years or
by fine Of not more than $4,000 or
both, wherever two or more persons
assemble for the purpose OF advocat-
ing or teaching the doctrines of Grim
inal syndicalism. and the owner of
any building who permits such per
sons TO assemble on his premises is
liable to a fine OF $500 or years inn
prisonment
II Is probably one OF the strongest
pieces OF legislation that has ever
been passed 10 regulate the actions of
labor agitators and will be watched
with interest by the state OF Michigan
which has her own share OF this kind
of trouble. And If, in two years, the
measure works out successfully Mich
igan solons should pass a similar piece
of legislation, because II is especially
