Appellate Division Refuses
Injunction That Might
Cause Big Strike

New York.-The appellate division
of the supreme court has just handed
down an important decision affecting
steamship companies, truckmen and
shippers Recently the union of
steamship company checkmen refused
to receive and check goods taken to
the piers by non-union truckmen.
The steamship companies, including
some of the largest concerns in the
world such as the Cunard line, Pana-
ma Railroad Company, United States
Railroad Administration and others,
were powerless to compel their check
ers to check the goods The non-union
truckmen, organized into the Truck
Owners League consequently asked an
injunction restraining the steamship
companies from refusing to accept
these goods, and the Appellate Divi-
sion has just vacated the injunction
on the main ground that to continue it
would be to cause a strike of 125, 900
longshoremen and others involved in
port work
The ruling by Justice Kelly states:
In my opinion it would be the
height of folly to issue a mandatory
injunction such as this against the
defendants. Because it appears that
practically the entire force of dock
laborers, checkers, weighers, etc, to
the number of some 125, 900 men, is
unionized, and if they are left free to
pursue their work and better their
condition by lawful methods, any at
tempt by the steamship companies to
enforce them to work with non-union
drivers would only result in a general
strike and tie-up of the freight of the
port. Upon the papers it is uncontra-
dicted that it is impossible from a

OPPOSE INCOME TAX

New Patriotic business men
will not expand business and extend
production and at the same time pay
the government a large proportion of
their profits in the form Of excess pro
fits and income taxes, according to an
official of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany, who urges repeal of these taxes.
1t is acknowledged that the business
man passes this tax to the consumer
and that a business concern is apt
to overeshmate, rather than underesti-
mate its liability In doing this, it
becomes an unintentional profiteer in
protecting itself from an undue usur-
patton Of its earnings.

Can the Industrial Unrest BE
Settled, Says President
Wilson

Washington. The greater portion
of President Wilson'S message to the
first regular session of the sixty-sixth
congress, which convened December /.
was devoted to the labor question.
Because of illness the president did not
read his message to the law makers,
as is his custom.
Summed up, the message declared
that itw as idle to talk of suppressing
industrial unrest and that it was ne
cessary to remove the causes for this
unwholesome condition
Speaking broadly, the president said
that unrest arose from the failure os
the government TO arrive speedily at
a just and permanent peace whicn
would permit of a return to normal
conditions, from the TRANSMISSION of
radical theories from seething Euro
pean countries pending such delay,
from heartless profteering that has
increased the living costs, and from
the Vaccinations of passionate and
malevolent agitators
1T seems to me" said the presi-
dent, chat in dealing with this situa-
tion congress should not be impatient
or drastic, but should seek rather to
remove the causes, and chat there
can be no permanent and lasting set

Return to the old standards OF

unthinkable. The terrible tragedy Of
war which has just ended and which
has brought the world to the verge
of chaos and disaster would be in
vain if these should ensue a return to
the conditions of the past.
Europe itself, whence has come
the unrest which now holds the world
at bay, is an example of standpatism

America might well accept as an ex-

BAD SOCIAL CON
BlTI0NS BLAMED
FOR RADICALISM

Washington. The department of
justice seems to have accepted the
theory that bad social conditions are
responsible for present day unrest.
In his annual report the attorney
general said.
ut is clearly recognized that the
present unrest and tendency toward
radicaism arise from social and eco
nomic conditions that are of greater
consequence than the individual agi-
tator
An rtenigent investigation Of the
agitator, of his work, an dof the re-
suits Of his work, therefore, demands
