STATE-OWNED LAND
Predicted For England BY
British Lord

Hull, England Naturalization of
farm lands in England was predicted
by Lord Bledisloe, an authority on
agriculture, in a speech in this city
on the decline of agriculture. The
speaker declared that the British ag
ricultural land owner is on trial and
unless he justifies himself as such
of land is inevitable.
1t was stated that today cultivated
fields in England are the exception,
with some of them feeding few cat

possible for the land to support the
land owners and the tenant
'The divorce of land ownership
from land cultivation is unnatural, y

Its very existence is deterrent to the
full development of agricultural land.
"At present the land owner lives

LABOR INJUNCTIONS'
DISCUSSED BY FREY

Frey on Injunctions" ;"
promises to be accepted as an authori-
tative book on the use of the injunc-
ton in labor disputes. The author
is John p Frey, editor of the Inter
national Molders' Journal, student
of the equity process, and for years
an A. f. of l.. delegate from the
International Molders' Union.
The author has traced the devel-
opment of the injunction process and
its original purpose down to the
Daugherty injunction against the
shop men This writ illustrates the
length to which the injunction can be
put to defeat strikes and annul con-
stitutional guarantees.
Included in the book is a history
of various injunctiors issued against
workers in this country This list is
really history of the more impor-
tant contests that the organized
workers have been forced to wage.
The book has just been placed on the
market. 1t is selling for $3.50, post
age paid Copies may be secured by

ENEMY OF THE CONSTITUTION
APPLAUDS JUDGE WILKERSONS INJUNCTION AND BACKS HIM
IN HIS ASSUMPTION THAT HIS JUDICIAL POSITION GIVES
HIM THE RIGHT TO "ENFORCE THE LAW"
Royal Ed Denying Workers Speech Peaceful Assembage
Other Rights Is One That Courts In No Other Country
Would Dare Duplicate

The man wilo tried to ride two
horses going in opposite directions
had an easy time compared with
those who upheld Judge Wilkerson's
injunction and who insist that higher
regard for the constitution should be
instilled in the minds of the people
This advice comes from men who
are outraging the constitution and
who cheer the kingly command of an
unknown lawyer, graduated to the
federal bench with the aid of plu-
tocracy's agents in high places.
With lip service these men glorify
the constitution while supporting an
injunction judge who shamelessly alb
rogates free speech and free press.
This royal edict, this denial of the
constitution, is being discussed, today
in the homes Of millions of workers
In every shop, mill and factory; in
the mines and on the nations great
iron highways are workers talking of
a judicial order that the courts of no
other country in the world would dare
duplicate
The workers are asking: "How can
men defend this iniquity while posing
as worshippers of the constitution %
How can men applaud a violation
Of constitutional guarantees and eX-
pect workers to believe their sincerity
when they profess a high regard for
the constitution?
American workers are not blind to
the guarantees of the constitution.
They know that it cannot be used to
shield violence, and that it must not
be used to shield judicial outrage.
They know that it assures jury trial
in criminal proceedings and that when
a man is charged with doing a Grim
inal act he comes under that pro-
vision and not under the jurisdiction
of an irresponsible equity Judge who
has assumed powers our forefathers
never dreamed of
The workers know these things, as
they know the historical fact that

VICIOUS LEGISLATION
AND MUCH OF 1T WILL BE PASSED AND THE PEO-
PIE MADE TO PAY IF REACTION WINS
IN COMING ELECTIONS
Congress AdOurns But If Things Go Right" Special
Session Will Be Called in November to Jam
Through Ship Subsidy Bill

Washington. - Congress has ad-
journed and federal lawmakers are
now engaged in the campaign pre-
ceding the November elections. The
next regular session of congress will
assemble the first Monday in Decem-
ber next. Administration spokesmen
are predicting, however, that a spe
cial session will be called after the
November elections to consider the
ship subsidy bill.
If reaction can pass this bill it will
also outlaw strikes.
Middle west congressman are espe-
cially bitter against the ship subsidy
bill and many of them declare they
will not attend this special session
1t would appear, however, that the
administration will be guided by the
result of the November elections
From now on the cry will be: Build
up our merchant marine" No at
tempt will be made to show what the
subsidy bill provides, but to rely on
the catchy" cry: "An American
merchant marine" These ballyhoos
will pose as the real defenders of an
American merchant marine, and by
inference charge that every one who
opposes the subsidy graft, Does not
want the glee-o-rious Stars and Stripes
on the seven seas"
If the election results Indicate that
this bunkom campaigning has proven
successful a special session of con-
gress will be called and the admins
tration will jam the bill through.
In answer to the claim that the
bonus would mean "a price on patriot
ism," advocates of this legislation are
calling attention to the graft and pro-
fiteering of our best citizens" who al
lege that if the war veterans receive
few hundred dollars these soldier
boys will associate the flag with the
dollar
1t is shown that despite stupendous
profits and extra charges, war con-
tractors were paid an additional
$4,000 100000 because the armistice
ended the possibility of more profits.
The railroads were paid more than
$700,000,000 for damages done their
property" while under government
control that was necessary to win the
war.

ALL UP TO HARDING
Has All Powers of Congress
and Senate to Fix Tariff
Rates

Washington-Th congress that
has just adjourned empowered the
president to increase and lower tariff
rates, function that the constitu-
tion specifically declares belongs to
the house of representatives call
bills for raising revenue shall origi-
nate in the house of representatives
sec. Z, art. -.
This law was passed in connection
with the new tariff act. The law
makers surrendered one of their func-
tions to the executive under the plea
that the tariff should be flexible"
The president is empowered to
raise or lower any rate in the bill not
to exceed so per cent and to apply the
American valuation plan. The presi-
dent shall make changes in the tariff
after the federal tariff commission
holds hearings and renders decision.
The bill indicates long step to-
ward further Capitalization and bu-
reaucracy in government. Hereafter
if a trust wants so per cent increase
in tariff rates it is not necessary to
appeal to congress and have the sub
ject discussed by the people in general.
The proper move henceforth will
be to quietly call upon the federal
trade commission, which will announce
hearings. The president will be guild
ed by the commissions decision. The
president appoints the commission.
When the people become accustom-
ed to small doses of a flexible" tariff
the next move may be to give the
president full power to make tariff
laws, and the abdication of congress
in this matter will be complete.

SENATOR PEPPER
Says Court Action is Not Proper Solution of Industrial
Strife Probem-COercion Means Straning
Government to Breaking Point

Philadelphia-In speech before
1000 business men in this city United
States Senator Pepper declared
against government coercion in strike
times The speech was Interpreted
by many as a direct attack upon the
administration railroad injunction,
though no names We're mentioned.
ct is easy to make catalogue Of
reasons in favor of strong-arm meth
DDS against strikes, said Senator
Pepper. 1T eases the mind Of man
who wants coal in his cellar to de-
clare vehemently in favor of compell-
ing people to work, on, what is the
same thing, of forcing them to accept
specified terms and conditions of en-
ployment. It also is to some, an
emotional relief to picture the courts
as the tribunals for ending industrial
wars.
Urgency of that sort overloolls
some fundamentals The first is that
in a free country we cannot, by gov
ernmental action, compel people to
work. The second is that when a
strike is on, the strikers are enough
in earnest to wish their strike to be
effective, and that means that it be-
comes their interest to create condi-
tions under which their places will
not be effectively filled by others. The
third fact is that while under all con
ditions, government must protect life
and property, yet if we insist upon
Interpreting the courts to masses Of
citizens as mere obstacles to indus
trial justice, we shall not only be
undermining popular respect for our
most important institution, but we
shall be straining government to the
breaking point
"These are some of the considera-
tions which you must bear in mind
in deciding whether it is longer worth
while to talk about compulsory arbi-
tration or governmental coercion,
either through courts or specially
constituted tribunals"

mula to propose, no panacea to sug-
gest, because the problem is one of

DIRECTORS

Jackson, Cal.-The prosecuting at

lives.
The public official states that the
company had no adequate fire-fighting
apparatus, and if such apparatus had
been maintained, in all probability,
the fire would have been extinguished
The main shaft was maintained in
very dry and infammable condi-
ton.
Because gases arose in the Null

nations have always been destroyed
from above, and not by acts Of its
common people.
Nations fall into decay and pass
away because those in control disre-
gard the rights and aspirations of the
people as a whole.
Today these wicked forces are oper-
ating in our country. The cycle is
revolving with mathematical certain
ty. The men who profess their faith
in the constitution are using their
tools on the federal bench to make
the constitution useless as far as
guarantees for wage workers are
concerned
The constitution is a barrier in their
quest for gold and power over the
workers They would wreck the con-
stitution while posing as its champion.
They have made such progress that
their judicial agents outlaw strike
by declaring it a conspiracy, and then,
under the guise Of stopping this con-
spiracy they deny constitutional guar
antees TO them the law of the land
is discarded The law assures every
accused fair trial, while the iniunc-
tion process makes this unnecessary.
Free speech rights, free press rights
and jury rights are nothing to these
modern Neros, who set aside constitu-
ton and law while their secret back
ers deceive the populace with loud
cries: Our country must protect
itself from those who ignore the con-
stitution"
The pretense and hypocrisy Of con-
stitution wreckers must be exposed
Organized labor is the one force that
can-and must-restor the constitu-
ton.
Labor must maintain an incessant
agitation against the forces that have
been permitted to confuse and warp
the peoples mind.
Labor must be as uncompromising
as truth itself. Labor must reiterate

Excess war profits have been re-

Taxes on large incomes have been
voted to the favored few through this
class legislation, nothing has been
done by the attorney general to reach

New York.-This is how the New

it is necessary to make light of the
attempt to handcuff labor to its task:
"Mr. Gompers asserts that Ameri-
can labor helped depose military
autocracy and now opposes an indus
trial autocracy.
"His meaning seems to be that any
statutory method for informing pub
lie opinion of the merits of an indus
trial dispute, and providing for la
boris compliance with impartial de-
cisions, is a political means of reduc-
ing labor to slavery"
