PRINTER-L AWMAKER
SCORES INJUNCTION

SPRINGFIELD, April %
The Committee on Judiciary of the
Illinoins House of Representatives
has made a favorable report on the
Soderstrom anti-injunction bill. The
author of the bill-R. G. Solder
strom-is a member of the StreatOr
Typographical Union, and was elect
ed by a partisan movement OF
trade unionists and sympathizers
to replace well-known reactionary.
In urging the Committee to taN-
or his bill, the printer-lawmaker
showed a thorough grasp OF TINS
iudge-made weapon that is so Ell
fectiyely used against workers. he
declared that trade-unionists insist
aht the injunction be used for pur-
poses originally tended-Where
statutory law does not apply. II pro-
perIy used, he said, the writ may be
useful and necessary. Trade UNION
lists object when it is used by a
Judge in cases that can be reached
throught statutory law, that is de-
MED workers by judge who acts
as a law maker, judge and eXecu-
toner.
"In a civil action" said Repre-
sentative Soderstrom, the amount
should not be greater than the
proved damages, but by injunction
a man who commits precisely the
same offense for which civil ac-
ton is brought, is punishable by
fine or Imprisonment, according to
the discretion of the court.
"In a criminal action the law
specifies the maximum punish
ment may be whatever the judge
DEGREES.
From this decision there is no
appeal. and even if an appeal is tax
en- upon the question of the juris-
diction of the court issuing the in
junction, it is possible that the ac-
tive men of the union may lie in jail
during the appeal"

AUTOCRATIC BOSSES
BREED REVOLUTION

WASHINGTON, APRIL o.
autocratic attitude of men like j.
Ogden Armour, Chicago meat pack
err, breeds revolutionary spirit in
this country, declared A. f. of L.
Secretary Frank Morrison. in a
statement on the strike of Kansas
City, Mo, street car employees. On
two occasions this company has re-
fused to accept decisions by the
National War Labor Board and it
declines to deal collectively with
its $500 employees, who are now on
the streets. J. Ogden Armour holds
a majority of the stock Of this COM
pany and Secretary Morrison said
This Kansas city situation il
Illustrates the position of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor on the
question of social unrest: That the
cause Of this unrest must be re-
moved, rather that rely on legisla-
tion and deportations.
Mr.. Armour and his associates
bring JOY to every believer in rev.
dictionary methods. The revolu-
Zionist looks upon these business
men his best propaganda, be-
cause their hostility to any form of
collective bargaining on the part Of
the workers makes it unnecessary
for the revolutionist to prove his
point that constitutional meahods
are of no avail.
Mr., Armour, of course. would
resent the charge that he is develop
ing an unnecessary unrest in this
country. He and men of similar
mind refuse to see that whenever
the American ideal of orderly pro-
cesses and elemental right are re-

A RESUME Of LEGISLATIVE WORK
AFFECTING LABOR IN THIS STATE
Continued from Page One.)

the act explains briefly what it
purported to do. 1t is as follows:
Relating to the public welfare;
establishing a department thereof;
defining the police power; creating
a tribunal to be known as the Cen
eral Welfare Court, to examine, in
vestigate, hear and determine in
dustrial disputes and questions af-
fecting the public welfare; correlat-
ing such department; the Public
Service Commission; the Industrial
Insurance Department; the Labor
Department; the Industrial Welfare
Commission; and Coal Mine In
spection; establishing boards of
Cancellation, providing for the ap-
pointment and assignment of Of
ficers and employees to carry out the
provisions of this act; prohibiting
strikes, lockouts, boycotts, black
listing, unfair listing, and unlaw-
full profiteering and combinations
or monopolies inimical to the pub
lie good; declaring the same and all
violations of this act unlawful and
fixing the punishment thereof, and
declaring an emergency"
The author of the bill had evil
IDENTIFY given some study to the COM
pulsory arbitration legislation that
has been in effect in New Zealand
and other sections of the world, but
Labor's experience with compulsory
arbitration everywhere has been
extremely unsatisfactory. In fact,
the people generally are coming to
recognize that the principle of Com
pulsory arbitration is unsound as 1t
settles nothing but merely post
pones settlement of controversy
when other methods must be en-
ployed to bring about satisfactory
adjustment.
The whole subject mater con-
tanned in the bill is too lengthy to
deal with in the brief space of a
report of this kind. We opposed the
entire provisions of the bill on gen.
eral principles. The bill was re-
ferred to the judiciary Committee
and no further report made on it.

RAISE THE CURTAIN

Raise the curtain-let the bright
ness
OF your cheerful light shine
forth;
To the passers in the darkness
1t may be of vital worth;
Give a glimpse to lonely wanderers
OF your household full of JOY.
1t may rouse to new ambition
Some poor, friendless tempted
boy
Raise the curtain we are kin
dred--
Each to all is bound by ties
Which forbid a selfish shutting
OF ourselves from others eyes;
Share your light and share your
blessings
God hath made the whole world
kin,
And His love so universal
Takes the weakest sinner in.
Raise the curtain of your window;
Raise the curtain of your mind;
Do not let possession make you
To the wants of others blind.
Helping others we are strengthened,
Give, we are richer made;
And no one so strong or patient,
But some hath need of aid.

INDUSTRIAL BOARD
| URGED BY EMPLOYER

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 8
Speaking of the Associated Manu-
facturers and Merchants of New
York State, Vive-P President Barcalo
Of that organization urged that the
Federal Government create a board
composed of an equal number of
manufacturers and workers engaged
in manufacturing processes to con-
slider those matters which are COM
pretended in the term industrial
reltions, and which have caused
what we know as idustrial unrest
in an effort to compromise those
difference which have grown up"
"While the war has been won so
far as fighting is concerned he
said, lit Will not have been really
won until there have been set up a
means for reasonably adjusting
in each country, those matters of
cocial nature which cause the
greatest unrest.
"Dollar-wages are now high, but
the purchase wage is low, so that
what has been gained by the work
ers in comparatively high wages
has been lost through the higher
cost of commodities. How much
better it would be if both higher
wages and lower costs prevailed.
This is the thing to work to. The
present industrial supremacy of this
country is largely due to finding a
way to accomplish things and | am
not prepared to admit that the limit
has been reached.
Except in abnormal periods like
the present there is never a over
production; | believe the trouble
Is under consumption and that un-
employment results there from. |
do not believe that there will be
over-production until human wants
in the way of material things are
supplied and this need never trou-
Bile this generation.
1--WE have known all these years
that if people had more dollars ana
if things cost less more purchases
would be made, and it is time for
us all to see to it that we work to-
ward this end, for we are doing
now the very opposite and the in
dustrial world is in chaos

AIR

He was a gallant airman
Returning to his home
A fearless devil-dare man
Who fought across the foam.
They welcomed him with many a
throb
Until he asked them for job.
Men loved him for the danger
He braved on foreign soil,
Yet he was but a stranger
When he applied for toll.
"They think" he said in his de-
spair,
An aviator lives on air"

UNREST BREEDING
CAMPS DEVELOPED
BY BAD EMPLOYERS

CHICAGO, April 5.-The real
bolsheviki are cheap-iohn employ
ers and autocratic financiers who
have a seyenteeth century view
point writes President Perkins OF
the Ggarmakers' International I'm
ion in the official magazine of that
organization.
The Trade Unionist interprets
presentday conditions as follows:
"There are two kinds of bolshe-
yki. We use that term advisedly
and simply for convenience sake.
One is the wide-eyed and impatient
red radicals; the other is the des-
pOtic autoCratic, grab-it-all en-
ployer and financier. The latter is
almost wholly responsible for the
breeding camps that create the boil
sheviki, and is more dangerous to
our republican institutions, our de
mocracy, and our destiny than is
the former.
after all is said, all must agree
that the question of unrest and the
creation of the destructive, radical
element is absolutely an economic
issue rather than a political issue.
The so-called unrest, world wide
in it's scope, is caused absolutely by
low wages, long hours, and hor-
ribly miserable working conditions
of especially the migratory workers
and the so-called common laborers
and the unorganized. There is un-
rest in the Republic of France, in
the Limited Monarchy of Spain, in
in the Republic of Russia, in the
Limited Monarchy of England. in
the Republic of Switzerland, in the
Limited Monarcy of Italy, in the Re
public of Germany, and last but
not least, in our own glorious Re-
public of the United States. We
repeat that the cause is not the
political formation, but rather that
it is due almost wholly to adverse
economic working conditions.
"The war which We just passed
aspirations and accentuated right
eous ambitions in the minds and the
hearts of the great mass of the peo-
pie here and elsewhere. The
avowed purpose of America when
we went into the war was to make
the world safe for Democracy, self
determination, and justice, and our
allies accepted this as their pur-
pose and nothing short of fulfill
ment of these pledges and reali-
cation of the expectation of the
masses will bring about a reasona-
Bile amount of cOntentment. A GER
tain amount of unrest is good, but
the unrest born of oppression and
the Withholding of natural rights,
and Justice long deferred breeds
contempt for our laws and our in
situations, and if not needed will
lead to a dangerous situation in so
far as our own glourious country
is concerned.
1.-The cheap-john manufacturers
and the autocratic financiers. who
are doing business in the twentieth
century and who are trying to apply
seventeenth century notions in so
far as the treatment of the workers
is concerned, and who are the Wrost
bolsheviki we have, will either deal
with the legitimate, constructive
trade movement or with the So
called bolshevik element. This is
not a threat, it is plain statement
of facts as they exist, which cannot
be ignored if we hope to escape the
inevitable consequences"

er and discussed at a meeting called
at the request of your labor lobby
and composed of large number OF
the leading members of both House
and Senate, and after a thorough
discussion and examination of the
provisions of all of the bills re-
ferred to, it was agreed that the
best interests of the State as well
as of labor would be conserved II
they were defeated.
Much serious thought and con-
sideration was given to most of the
bills included in this group and
when the state Of public mind exist
ing at that time is taken into con-
sideration the accomplishment OF
convincing a sufficient number OF
the members of both houses that
all such bills should be defeated is
victory as great, if not greater,
than that accomplished in the pas
sage of the Legislation referred to
in the first installment of this re-
port.
