THE GREAT AMERICAN IN
JUNCTION

An English labor leader, describing
America to Englishmen, speaks of the
Injunction as it is found i'll the
United States and expresses great sur
prise at finding such an instrument.
His opinion is that it wouldn't work
in England.
The injunction also is a source of
constant surprise to Americans and
most Americans are puzzled to know
how it all came to pass. Great oaks
from little acorns grow, We are told
by all authorities on plant life. No
body pays much attention to an acorn
and an oak grows so slowly that no
body notices the process. Once the
injunction was a little bit of an, acorn
of thing relatively. How it got to
be such a big, deeply rooted institu-
ton is known only to those who have
dug out the facts. 1t surely doesn't
belong in our garden, but there it is
"a constant surprise, constant ir-
ritant and a menace to a lot of other
social vegetation that is good and
useful.
The Englishman thinks it wouldn't
work in England and we hope it never
does. 1t won't always work in Amer
lea Well tussle with it until we
find the right way to get rid of it.
