ANTI-UNIONISTS SQUIRM B..
 UNDER INJUNCTION ATTACK

New York, Nov 17.-The current issue of Law and Labor attacks John P. Frey's expose of the labor injunc- ton evil Labor and Labor is pub lished by the League for Industrial Rights, formerly known as the Anti Boycott Association.
 The anti-unionists agree that in functions are vague "and that the av- craze striker does, not know what they mean" For remedy, they say the "court and counsel must cooper ate to eliminate this," and that ''the courts vii finally evolve law of, em- ployer and employe that will stand the test of public scrutiny and criti- cism"
 The belief that courts should make law reveals the wide chasm between anti-unionists and organized labor
 Law by the judiciary is the very essence of labor's. objection, to the in junction in industrial disputes.
 What the anti-unionists intended to be criticism of Frey's book in reality an indorsement of it's funda- mental principle.
 The alleged criticism again proves that the injunction process can not withstand publicity and searching inquiry

SENATOR CUMMINS FOR A LIVING WAGE"
 FOR RAIL WORKERS
Will Propose Changes in Law at Coming Special Session .
 of Congress.

Washington, D. C., Nov, I7.-Sen- ator' Cummins has just announced that he will propose at the special session of Congress, which meets next Mon day, a revision of the transportation act of which he is co-author, and the incorporation into the law of the guarantee of living wage" to rail way labor
 This announcement followed a declaration of the Railroad Labor Board that to attempt to force the transportation lines to pay "the liv- ing wage" would force many. of the roads into. bankruptcy. Senator Cummins takes issue with this con clusion, and declares the roads can pay living wage" without impairing their solvency.
 The changes proposed in the Cummins-Esch act will draw the fire not only of the roads, but of the workers, as 1t IS certain an attempt will be made to insert in the law the "anti-strike" provision which was stricken from the original bill. It is Senator Cummins' belief that labor will accept the "anti-strike" clause in return for the guarantee of a living wage," and that the roads will accept the latter when guaran- teed against walkouts.
 It also will be proposed that the Labor Board be made an adjunct of the Interstate Commerce Commis- soin and its headquarters trans ferred from Chicago to Washington.

If was. We were all standing just
about as we had climbed off tie train
on reaching the village where We
were going to rest up before going
in the line.
IT know Cooper and I knew Frye,
and what Cooper says Of the killing
Is true.
IT was standing within a few feet
Of Frye when he was killed with
bayonet by one Of the men doing
guard duty. So was Major Eldredge,
who gave the sentry orders to kill
Frye Il he refused to shoulder his
pack.

Frye ever since we had been in
France. He was quiet kind OF a
chap always. but had said nothing
about not believing in killing a man
until we were overseas. Then he re,
fused to take bayonet drill, and from
that time on consistently caused US
trouble.
when the guard killed Frye we
all felt sick, because II was the first
