DAUCHTERY "REASONABLE''

Apparently MIR. Daugherty
asked for more than he needed IN
the injunction proceedings at Chi
cago. Our first impression that
this might be true is now con-
hrmed by statements from both
the White House and the Depart
ment OF Justice, which were OBJ
viously designed to turn away
wrath evinced by certain labor
leaders. and at the same time re-
move the approximations OF men
in and out OF Congress who had
discerncd signs OF an attempted
abridgcment OF the constitutional
rights OF citizens.
Mr.. Daughcrty noW says no
such abridgement was thought Of
or would be undertaken, and there
can be small doubt, II the lnJunc-
ton is made permanent, the docu-
ment will come forth i'll mllder
form, and will show that those
taking the lead in this matter are
mindful OF the organic law. The
temporary injunction was sugseS-
tive of a hall baked measure, a
sudden access Of sound and Jury
which has been deprecated both by
the rail executives and the labor
heads.
Much may be said for govern
mcnt by injunction" when the ma
ton finds itself confronted by 4
GREAT industrial crisis. 1t may at
times be employed upon such oc-
casions for the benefit OF the whole
people. But it is what may be
termed a loaded proposition
and is one OF those things which
must be handled WITH the greatest
possible care. Many are convinced
that the Chicago proceedings were
not nationally directed. The At
torney General is now impeLed to
assure the country: i do MOI
want to 60 any further in these
proceedings than is necessary ana c.
/ want to be reasonable about 1t.
