AWAIT SUPREME
COURT DECISION
Central Labor Body Is Attacked
as Illegal Combination In
Restraint Of Trade,

GRANITE CITY, Ill, July g.
Trade unionists are asking why it
takes SO long for the United States
supreme court to decide this issue:
Is the Tri-City central trades coun-
Gil Of this city an unlawful combina-
ton and is there such thing az
peaceful picketing?
The case is the result Of q wage
cut against workers employed at the
American steel foundries several
years ago. The workers appointed
a committee, but were refused an
audience by the company. A strike
resulted and at the request OF the
company Federal Judge Humphreys
of Springfield, issued an injunction
in which the court ruled that the
Tri-City central trades council is an
unlawful combination; that there is
no such thing as peaceful picketing
and that all kinds Of picketing is
unlawful.
The decision was appealed to the
federal court Of appeals, Chicago dis
trict, and Judge Humphreys con:
clusions were set aside. From: this
decision the company appealed to the
United States supreme court, where
the case was argued last January.
On June s the court ordered that the
case be set down for reargument in

And further be it:
Resolved. That we stoutly endorse
the position taken by Commissioner
Of Public Safety W. F. Murnian on
the night of the riot. when he issued
an order to- the police not to shoot,
for in doing so he showed great wis
dom and judgment. While it is ex-
rected that the police should at all
times go the limit to- uphold the
majesty of the law, in this instance
with the mob completely In control
OF the situation, moving deliberately
and coolly,' many Of the participants
we'll armed and concealed behind 9TH
ers. an order to shoot would have
resulted in a needless sacrifice of
human life. The mobs was: deter
mined upon its object and would have
gone to any extreme to; accomplish It.
And further be it
Resolved. That we condemn the at
t-tude Of the anti-labor interests in
Duluth which are using this unfor-
tunate and regrettable occasion as a.
means to strike at union labor

city commission, w. F.. Murnian, by
using their powerful influence in a.
subterraneous manner on the: gover-
nor Of this: state. in: the hope of in
ducfng him to remove Mr.. Murnian
from office It is the opinion of
most men that Commissioner Muir
Man used sound Judgment at the time
Of the sudden attack upon the Jail
and he no doubt: will be supported
Tor doing so. We hold that the gov
ernor has no authority to remove a.
person from office who was duly
elected thereto by the voters of g.
city which has adopted home rule
charter and which contains a. recall
provision therein. The power Of re-
moval is in the hands of the people,
OF Duluth and not in any public off,
clal' save. the courts, and then only
when an official shall have been con-
victed of crime. Further be it
Resolved. That we extend our svm-
pathy to the young girl who was the
victim OF the savage attack in ques-
ton and we declare it to be the high

and protect her from exposure and
