seas soldier, who was murdered and,
it is said, robbed, in the vicinity OF
Corbin during the early part Of the
year. Phelps entered a plea of not

Another typically un-American law
enacted by Townley and his associ-

injunction Law (Chapter III, session

court may interfere to protect the en-
ployer OF labor against any kind of q

Jul from protecting the farmer

With such a law in force, I. w. w.
agitators can walk into the farmers

threat or argument influence his har-
vest hands to make extravagant de-
mands and walk off the job. The
farmer is denied any redress and can
not order them out Of his fields, no
a he get aid from the local peace
officers, as they have no authority in
law.
Such an act would permit the l. w.
