JAPAN ENJOYS SPECIAL:
FAVOR ON IMMIGRATION

If friendly. relations with Japan
are to be maintained the United
States government must effectually
stop the, continued admission, of Jap
anese and the rapid increase Of ap-
anese population" v. S. McClathy, a
Sacramento newspaper publisher, de-
clared before the house immigration
committee.
The westerner said that the "gen-
tlemen's agreement" between this
country and Japan has failed Of its
purpose, and should be cancelled.
Under this agreement $500 Japanese
have been permitted to come into the
United States since the percentage
immigration act became effective,
although Immigration. from other
countries has been sharply curtailed.
The citizenship of apanese born
here, said Mr.. McClatchy, is being
utilized largely for purposes Of Japan
and of 10000 claiming rights as
American citizens by registration up
to the first of last year only 73 had
applied for expatriation from Japan
and only 81 had received it. y.

BYll|N||| I INJUNCTION JUDlGE:

B Buffalo, NJ ~ Feb. 2s.-For
the first time within the memory
of lawyers an Injunction was
asked 70 prevent prosecuting Off.
GERS from proceeding with the
trial of q criminal case.
The incident shows the trend
of injunction use.
The application was made to
Suprene Court Justice Pooley by
the Buffalo gravel corporation,
which asked that the district at
t0rney be restrained from prose-
cutting any of the ANTITRUST cases
growing out Of the visit which the
Lockwood building probe commit
tee paid this city.
, More than 100 individuals and
corporations have been indicted,
under the Donnelly antitrust act,
which has been on the statutes for
1S years, and has been repeatedly
upheld by New York courts. JUS
tice Pooley, however, settles the
plea for an injunction against the
district attorney by ruling that
the antitrust act is invalid.

BITS OF LABOR HISTORY =

The telegraphers first organized
in America in 1870 under the banner
of the Telegra piers National union,
which went to pieces following a
strike in 1871 and did not revive un-
til 1888.
Trade unionism among the hatters
is so old that cone can give the exact
date of the organization of a Hat
ters' union in>America. It was a well
organized society in olden times.
Agitation to prohibit the immigra-
ton OF Chinese workmen into Amer
ica was started in California in 1852.
After 20 years there are still Ameri-
cans who would open wide the gates
OF our country. to them. ~
The first cigarmakers' union in
America was organized in Baltimore,
Nd. May s. 1851. at the time the
leading center in the. cigar industry.
The Brotherhood of CARPENTERS
and Joiners was organized in Chi.
cago. Aug. 8. 1881. with IL local
unions. An attempt was first made
to form such an International union
in 1854 and again in 1857.

Dor, for the farmer, or for the aver
age man in business so long as the
congress of the United States is ruled
by men Of the Kellogg habit Of
thought. At the primary, election ito
be held March IL. the voters in the
Republican party will have an oppor.
tunity to send Mr.. Kellogg back to
his private practice with the rail-
roads and the Steel Trust, and to
nominate in his place such an up
standing man as Oscar Hallam, asso
ciate justice of the Minnesota su-
preme court. Should they fail Oh
March II they will have another
chance in June and all the voters
will still have another chance in No.
vember. It is up to the people.
No one blames the NewsTribun9
for supporting Senator Kellogg. He
is "bone of their bone and flesh of
their flesh.'' The morning paper,
whatever may be said of it, never
sails under false colors. The attitude
of the Herald has completely floored
it's old-time adherents. Once indepen-
dent, it is now under a new owner
ship, dependably Republican. It is pre-
pared to swallow all the gall it once
emitted against the reactionary ele-
ment in the Republican party. It. is
beyond recall. The Rip Saw, most
times independent, has succumbed to
the persuasive influence of personal
favor. The Rip Saw has strong in
terest in the fire claims. Kellogg
helped it out, and naturally "one
good turn deserves another.' James
Manahan, too, attorney for fire suf-
ferers and the Nonpartisan league,
grateful for Kellogg's help, seems to
have laid down, is willing to have
Kellogg nominated, holding "he will
be easier to beat in November,'
which of course is not true. In the
meantime the folks are being trimmed
in the same old way.

PASSPORTS T0-SEAMEN .

The passport system which Pacific
coast vessel owners are attempting
to enforce is an Improvement upon
the passport which the slave owner
gave to his chattel prior to the civil
war, says Andrew Furuseth, presi-
dent of the International Seamen's
union.
What a pity that the whole thing
is so ineffective-such jest" says
the trade unionist. THE ship owners
pretend not to know wat is known
to the police and secret service in
every country. namely. that the pass
port and photo are the best security
that can be furnished for the crook,
unless there is the .strictest and most
painstaking investigation every time
such passport is exhibited. The po-
lice know, the passport officers
know, that passports are forged, that
pictures are removed and others put
on and it is simple matter to do it.
THE ship owner surely has this
knowledge and since he has. always
maintained THAT he knows the "wob-
blies'' better tan we do, he must also
know that amongst them are past
masters in the art of forging pass
ports, whether the passports be in
dustrial or national.

SCHOOLS NOT NEEDED,

and prisons, in that schools are mot

others are; therefore, the public

Anii-strike law Rest, 81 Violence al Bluff

! The Allen :"'can't-strike'' law is 4
violent statute. 1t rejects moderate
methods. It makes no attempt at
mediation. Even its friends do not
think the law can be fully enforced.
To create crimes which no one ex-
poets to punish Is simply not honest.
It Is sheer bluff. ,'.> !.
The above were a few of the blows
delivered by c. J..EYans, attorney for
the Bell Telephone company, in his
decision with Judge Higgins Of the
industrial court before a church
forum in Topeka last week. ~
Mr.. Evans said the fallacy which
underlies the Industrial. court law: is
demonstrated in its very name. It
IS called a court. but Justice Burch
OF the state supreme court says it
is simply an administrative board,
and that it was called a court. "as
q matter of legislative strategy
THAT is to say" said Mr.. Evans,
''the authors of the law were guilty
Of false pretense in the very act of
bringing it to life.
1T is the business Of a court to
settle controversies oyer legal rights.
In so doing it makes findings as to
the facts and then applies predeter-
mined rules to these facts.
"A so-called labor dispute is some-
thing altogether different. Neither
deprives him of a legal right which
can be settled by applying some rule
of law to the facts. Neither employer
or employe claims that there is any
existing rule of law which, when ap-
piled to the facts, will determine just
what wages. must be paid or what
working conditions must be. Each
party simply claims the right to bar
gain and the right to contract if the
parties can agree. If the parties can
not agree the workmen claim the
economic privilege of withholding
their labor. A strike in itself is not
an act Of violence. It is simply the

THEODORE T. HUDSON.

The death Of Theodore T. Hudson
is severe loss to Duluth. The worth
of some men is measured by their
material achievements and acquisi
tions. The worth of Mr.. Hudson may
be measured by the great unselfish
service he rendered to the public
with back ground Of sterling char
acter which was the admiration and
envy of all who knew him.
Mr.. Hudson was not only a real
man, but he was a real American, one
who stood for the highest ideals of
purity, justice and democracy in gov
ernment, and his life work and COLI
duet were consistent with those ideals.
Opposition to special privilege was
the basis Of his social and political
philosophy. He never was known to
trim or compromise in a fight that
involved the public welfare on one
side and special interest on the
other. His honesty, consistency and
frankness made him one Of the most
feared and most respected men in the
community.
No man contributed more, to the re-
generation Of our city government
that did he. He became one of the
chief leaders in a fight to rid the cit:
hall of an INSCRIPTIONS political ma
chine in the early days, that fight
resulting eventually in the acquisi-
tion by the city Of the water and gas
plants. His next civic activity was us
chairman of the charter commission
when he participated in framing a
charter that put the city government
on cash basis, curbed the power Of
the council in contracting debts and
better guarded the expenditure Of
public money. He also took a leading
part in drafting the present commits
sion plan Of government, charter. H.
rendered fine service to the people as
a member of the water and light de-
partment, which through his untiring
efforts was put OH sound and sub
stantial basis from the outset, and
against which the finger of suspicion
has never been pointed.
The death Of such a man is an ir-
reparable community loss. He was
torch unto the serving ones. His
light guided them in the paths of
personal and civic rectitude. His was
the pattern from which the faithful
in public affairs cut their cloth. His
example tempered, the ambitious and
shamed the selfish. His. modesty
calmed the bold and humbled the an
dacious. His frankness reproached the
cunning and baffled the crafty. Such
virtues made him the leading moral
figure in our civic life. Theodore T.
Hudson may be dead, but like the
immortal John Brown, his soul goes
marching on.

POPULAR ELECTION OF
Federal JUDGES URGED

No reform is more pressing 5or
important than. the peoples control
of the federal judiciary, declares
James B. Casey, editor of the Boiler
Makers Journal.
The labor editor says the United
States supreme court "is not only
constructing the laws. but is making
laws, as we'll as nullifying others
made by the supreme law-making
body of the land.
Judges are exercising more
authority than the judiciary of any
other nation in the world today. even
in those with monarchal form of
government.
'Unless this tendency is soon ar
rested, they will, in few decades,
assume authority, paralyze our law
making body and submerge the
liberties of the people.
'"The history of the human race
shows that it is dangerous to place
unlimited power in the hands of q
small body, OF men. They will con-
stantly enlarge their authority and
circumscribe the rights of the people
until they finally assume absolute
authority.
Here we have nine men appoint
ed for life. in no way amenable to
any authority, not even the one
who appoints. They may nulify, by
a mere majority, any law enacted
by congress and by their DEGREES
prevent congress from enacting any
other law for the same purpose.
while other reforms: are neces-
sary, we believe there.is none half so
pressing or important as a. change
in the manner of selecting our fed
eral jud ges, and we hope it will be
one of the maip issues in our next
presidential election"

He writes to Governor Hart:
1.-THE war finance board opened
an office in Spokane, Oct. /" Up

but one loan, because the banks re-
fused to cooperate with them;
thousands of our farmers who have
good security can not get money to

make interest rates high, farm crops
can also be Debated to. make higher
prices. This is the only hope they
see. This will cause "a great deal
more unemployment and a great
deal more misery and suffering"

national government loan its war
finance money through county
treasurers and county commission
ers, rather than banks.

THE. economic loss due to tuber-

In addition to the million active
cases Of tuberculosis now in exist

are at least another million persons
who have the disease in a latent, or
quiescent form. The ever-presenl
danger to this last group is that at
any time over exercise, unwise living,
or slight reduction in the power
of resistance may cause the disease
to assume an active form. 81 r.
