 Other speakers were Rev. c H. Of New York .ity. Dr. E NJ. Padsl- ford. of FaIf Ielver, Miss. Dr. S. M Katzoff, P. Srrovtero and John Casey whose child died from stomach trou- blc after she had been vaccinated.
 We are fighting for Ine1ical Eb- erty." decelared Re. = II. Reimers of Meriden. We must back up this fight with, al: our hearts and souls, not cease at all until all the compul- sory vaccination laws are wiped off the statutes.
 The Bible says we do not need a doctor while we are we'll. Why then should the doctors poster us to inject into our bodies, now well, a poison liable to bring on all kinds of sick ness. To quote the Bible again, one might read that passage which deals with the sowing of the seed, What ever ye SOW, that shall ye also reap. v Thus it is with the vaccine for poi son begets poison"
 'If vaccination is preventive for smallpox, what possible harm could six non-vaccinated children have upon those have given in to the oper- ation?''
 'sThe principle of vaccination is un- moral" claims Dr. Elmer Lee, of New York, editor of the Health Culture" magazine. '"The order of nature is be- nign. To go against the laws of na- ture is wrong and immoral. To take the life of a COW and innoculate into an innocent child the poison from the diseased animal is against the laws of nature and therefore morally wrong.'
 ''Vaccine virus contains the living micro orga nismS of small poX,'' said Dr. PadeIford. ''Vaccination is the pox is onthing more or less than small pcX ma ter obtained from human be ing and passed through the internes of several calves
 Injecting vaccine coming from diseased animal into an innocent child will never in all this world prevent small pox,'' said Dr. Katzoff. He de Eied that he had been profiteering on exem ption certificates in answer to the Board of Health'S claim.

COURT REQUESTS
SHOPMEN REPORT
VIOLENT ACTIONS
Judge Baker Grants Temporary
Injunctions Asked by
Railroads.

Striking railroad shopmen were re
quested to report all acts Of violence
in connection with the strike, by
Judge Francis E. Baker of the Circuit
Court of Appeals, in Federal Court to-
day.
Il am going to he back here next
Monday" Judge Baker said. land in
order TO preserve the dignity and
peace of our State. I am asking you
defendants to cooperate with me and
report all cases of violation of these
orders. 1 want all evidence of mers
who have done things contrary to the
letter and spirit of these orders sub
mitted to me- All who prevent free
men in a free country from doing as
they have a right to do must be put
where they cannot do it.
Judge Bakers statement was made
following the granting OF temporary
iniunctions TO the Wabash. Baltimore
& Ohio. Erie. Big Four and Mouon
railroads, forbidding labor unions in
volved in the railroad strike, and their
members from interfering in any way
with the operation of the roads. In
each instance temporary restraining
orders had been granted previously.
Through an oversight the Cincinnati.
Indianapolis and Western case was
overlooked, and it was taken up at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
No Opposition Made
The defendants did not oppose
granting of the injunctions, and in
number of cases they were not rep
resented by counsel. although many
of them were present. Substantially,
the injunction follows the lines Of the
temporary restraining order. All VIC
lence. coercion, threats or intimida-
ton are forbidden. The strikers are
permitted to station one picket at

Before adjournment, Judge Baker
made a lengthy statement setting
forth the rights of the unions and the
railroads.
"Thisi whole affair is an economic
controversy he said, land a man
must be free to change his economic
views the same as he does his religious
or political views. Every worker must
have the right to decide whether he
will work in a union or a non-union
shop. the employer the right to decide
whom he employs. Unions have
/ brought about great reforms to this
| country. No man is worthy of the
name of an American citizen who by
complusion deprives any other man
/ of his right to choose his own work. "
