BETTER LATE THAN NEVER :.


The Kansas industrial court has
made the tremendous discovery that
the shopmen have been on strike for
nearly two months in the realm of
Henry Allen.
We are unable to verify this highly
interesting news on account of the
heavy rain storms which of late have
made wire communications between
Kansas and Illinois impossible.
Nevertheless, we embrace this OPP
portunity to congratulate the indus
trial court on having made this monu-
mental scoop.
Moreover, times are exceedingly
hard and if what the industrial court
has to say about the Kansas railroad
strike is true land we have heard
some rumors about the strike) an UNI
preeedented boom in Jail building
should presently bless Kansas with
prosperity.
For there is no doubt that the
facilities of the Kansas jails are
wholly inadequate to house the tens
of thousands of strikers who are said
to have violated the Kansas industrial
court law.
The news is pleasing to US in an
other respect. Alexander Howat and
his brave board are still behind the
bars in Girard. No doubt they are
lonely at times and the influx of new
faces will do them a world Of good.
Oh, We Gods, what damnable farce
and what tragedy this is!-The
Illinois Miner.

SMALL SAYS
HARDING'S TALE
is BASELESS

Springfield, In.-Governor Small
punctured President Harding's at
tempt to make anti-labor propaganda
out of the Herrin bloodshed of June
% with the publication of a state
ment proving that the two Mexicans
alleged by Harding TO have been
killed at the time were not in or near
Herrin.
Small bases his statement on data
prepared by Bruce Scott, chief coun-
selor, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad demonstrating that it would
have been impossible, in view of their
previous known movements, for the
MeXicans to have been near Herrin
at the time.
Harding, in his message to congress,
asked for the enactment of legislation
permitting the federal government to
intervene in any state whenever rights
of aliens were involved. This was
to be the cover for using the army
and marines to crush strikes. Re-
ferring to the Herrin battle in which
the killing of three unarmed union
men was followed by the slaughter of
nineteen company guards and strike
breakers, Harding said:
"In that butchery of human be-
ings, wrought in madness, it is al
legged that two aliens were murdered"
The Mexican government, acting
on these allegations, protested to
Washington. Governor Small has
sent a denial of the charges to Secre-
tary of State Hughes.

Farmers Union Grows Fast.

Oklahoma City. - The Farmers
Union of Oklahoma, in convention
here, reports that there are now SOS
locals of the union in this state with
an estimated membership of $4,000.
There are five Negro locals. The
report of the state exchange showed
a net gain in the last year of S1,765,-
24S, besides great savings to the men,
mership cooperative purchases. The
members were saved $500 on bind
ing Irvine. $4,000 on coal and $4,000
on merchandise handled through the
cooperative state exchange. The
saving to the individual through the
cooperative stores, mills and eleva-
tors over the state is in addition to
these figures.
The Farmers Union was launched
by ten men in Gaines county, Texas,
Sept. ?, 1902. In their resolutions
the Formers Union expressed 100
per cent sympathy" for the striking
railroad Shopmen and coal miners.
Loud applause greeted the address of
a delegate who admonished the farm
ers to demand the union label on their
overalls, shirts and other clothing.

section Of the American people.
Because they refuse 10 accept a
wage reduction by the railroad labor
board, the attorney general says the
shop men arc attacking government.
The attorney general and his friends
should read the platform Of the poll
teal party that placed them in their
present positions. That platform
says the board should depend on moral
suasion to enforce its decisions.
Recently the federal trade commits
sion ruled that the proposed steel
merger is contrary to law. Attorneys
for the steel merger announce that
the decision 0ill not affect their plans.
Has any one heard the attorney gen
eral denounce the steel mems attack
on government %
The reception the administration
injunction is given by trade unionists
can be judged by the fact that in not
a single instance have workers urged
that it be obeyed.
Everywhere is heard the cry of de-
fance. The storm has alarmed the
injunction advocates, who realize
they have made a mess Of things.
With the agitation for a general strike
the iniunctionites fear to enforce their
order. They see they have gone too
far and are sending out inspired
stories to their friendly press that
"tbe government will permit the in
junction TO be modified
Even though it be modified the in
junction remains the same hated pro-
cess that destroys government by law
and elevates a judge to the three-in-
one position of lawmaker, law enforc-
er and eXecutioner
The trade union movement does not
accept this anarchy. Workers insist
on rights under the constitution and
the law. They object to placing
themselves in the power Of one in
diyidual, to be subject to his preju-
dices and his moods, rather than to
law.
The workers protest against gov
eminent by injunction.

INJUNCTIONS.

The federal injunction against rail-
road shop men is another proof--if
one were wanted-that the most dead
ly attack against the constitution
always comes from professed friends,
Representing the administration,
the attorney general secretly joun-
eyed to Chicago and with no previous
announcement appeared before Fed
eral Judge Wilkerson, who listened to
his weird tale of law defiance and con-
spiracy.
The Judge did not question the
statements, one of the most important
of which has been proven tissue of
falsehoods by an eastern paper.
No one of the 100000 shop men
was cited to appear. No one was per-
mitted to challenge the attorney gen
erals story.
He even announced that he will use
his office to protect the anti-union
shop, and this injunction judge did
not tell him to keep within his sworn
duties and not publicly volunteer to
act as "capper" for understanding
employers.
To complete the picture the judge
issued a general and all-inclusive
"thou-shalt-not" edict that sweeps
away every constitutional guarantee
fgrom half million citizens and all
others who would aid or sympathize
with them.
This assault on constitution =nd law
has never been equaled. A moi
would be incapable of dealing such a
blow to government.
To say that 100000 strikers can not
communicate with each other or THEN
friends; that they cannot distribute
money to feed their wives and babes
and that they can do no other thing
that would tend to encourage an6
solidify their ranks is to bring the
judiciary and the federal administra
ton into contempt that win be hare
to efface from the memory of large
