The old habit of blocking the street
crossings by mile long freight trains
seems to be coming back again. 1t is
no longer an unusual thing to find all
the crossings blocked through the en-
tire city from Vine street to Hanover
street. Especially is this true along
about Z o'clock in the morning, caus-

in some instances receiving blue
ticket-which means dock in the

minutes, all the street cars and jit-

Washington.-In the press bulletin
issued by the Philippine commission
of independence, it is stated that
George H. Fairchild, one of the larg-
est American investors in the Phil
ippine Islands, is in the United States
to do what he can to prevent the
United States from carrying out it's
promise to grant independence to the
Philippine Islands.

for capitalists to place the dollar
above human rights" says the press

a comparatively handful of persons
who are interested primarily only in

BLUE LAWS" ARE ECHO OF
"CAN'T-STRIKE" LAWS

The present agitation for movie
censorship ard "blue" laws is the Sc
quence of '"can't-strike" laws, and
again proves the rule that when one
man is enslaved all are enslaved.
Every attack made on liberty is
first made against those less liable
to successfully resist. Others plume
themselves that 'it don't effect me"
but are awakened when anti-liberty
night riders would establish statutory
morality. Men who remain silent
against the slavery of human beings
nave found themselves victims of that
slavery, that has contaminated every
phase Of life.
There is a direct connection between
cant strike" legislation and blue
legislation. 1t is the history of man
that when he acquires power, he will
attempt to extend that power. When
man assents to law that would shackle
labor to it's employment, he must eX-
pect the enslavers to seek other fields
of conquest. The attempt to regulate
morals is the result. The psychology
the state of mind-created by the
terms can't and "blue" is identical.
Liberty cannot be compromised or
juggled with. Whenever it is denied,
the cost must eventually be paid by
society as a whole Liberty demands
as rigid an application of its prin-
ciples as the law of gravitation. The
man who ignores this fact is not
equipped to battle for freedom and
equality. If it is right to Jail group
of Americans when they quit their
employment, why is it wrong to re-
vive blue laws against all Ameri-
cans? If an injunction judge can gag
free speech or abrogate ether guaran-
tees, why is it wrong for some other
"thou-shalt-not" to define the public's
amusements
Trade unionists resent the Pecksniff
and busybody who would make people
good" But the Pecksniff is but an
effect, not cause. Behind him is the
big regulator who chokes American
ism at its source and then makes him
