INJUNCTION DANGER GROW
ING

Since the Daugherty injunction
against the railroad shopmen was
made permanent, the crop of arbi.
trary injunctions aimed at organized
labor has been rapidly growing.
With the Daugherty injunction as d
model, courts in various parts of the
country have been striving to enjoir
union workmen from doing anything
except merely existing.
Chicago, Georgia and other sections
tell the same story-that of injunc-
tions recently issued which forbid
trade unionists from even to try to
persuade non-unionists to join the
ranks of organized labor.
Court after court seems to be fall
ing into line and attempting to pre-
vent workmen from pointing out the
benefits and advantages of trade
unionism. In most cases, the injunc-
tions are SO drastic and impossible of
enforcement that they defeat their
own purpose, as was the case with the
Daugherty injunction. But the intent
is still there and organized labor
must be constantly on its guard
against this judicial usurpation.
The American Federation of Labor
has repeatedly warned of the injunc-
tion danger, but with this new ain
junction drive" on foot, it is even
more true than in the past that con-
stant vigilance is the price of liberty.
If the courts persist in issuing ar
bitrary and unjust injunctions, they

THOMAS BECKETT

1t was with deep sorrow and re-
gret that the people of Hamilton, on
Sunday evening and Monday, learned
of the passing away of Thomas Beck
EFT, president of the Beckett Paper
Co., and president of the Hamilton
Chamber of Commerce. No man in
Hamilton was more loved, respected,
held in higher esteem than was
Thomas Beckett And this would in
clude all classes-rich and poor, man
ufacturer, business and professional
man, workingman.
1t is in the mill of which Mr..
Beckett was head for many years,
and which employs many men and
women, where he will be most missed
Many of these employees have been
with this old firm for many, many
years, and it has often been said that
many of them would rather work for
less wages in Mr.. Beckett's mill than
work in some other place This was
because of the pleasant conditions in
the mill, due to the interest Of Mr.
Beckett in his employees welfare and
his kindly nature. Nothing was too
good for his workmen. He knew
many of them by their first names
and seemed to find pleasure in ad-
dressing them thus. None ever felt
any qualms in going to him with their
problems or grievances, knowing they
would be met in kindly and fatherly
manner, and that they would find a
ready ear to listen to them.
He was the soul of the great busi-
ness corporation which he succeeded
in building up, and which now stands
as a monument to his energy and his
sterling honesty. His relation with
its employees was akin to brotherhood.
He created fraternity among them
that was exemplary. No grievance
was too trifing to escape his atten-
tion, and it was his chief aim to see
that every employe was given square
deal. Again, here it is, that he will
be missed most.
In general public matters Mr.
Beckett was always first to respond
to the call for assistance. During
the war he gave ali that was in him
in support of every movement at
home His wonderful capacity was

IT'S A PRETTY GOOD LAW
The following editorial under the
above caption taken from the Cincin-
natl Times Star, speaks for itself:
"The 8 per cent immigration law is
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-07-27

to be marveled at. While paying close
attention to every detail of his bust
ness he found ample time to devote
to public matters without stint and
without hope of reward.
Mr.. Beckett was student of labor
and it's problems. He was indeed the
friend of the workingman. II be-
lieve that labor organizations are a
good thing" he one said in the pres
ence of the writer "They have done
much for the workingman, but / want
to make conditions such in our mill
that it will not be necessary for our
employees to organize" And he did.
For three years Mr.. Beckett was
president of the Hamilton Chamber
of Commerce, and it was during this
time and much to his efforts as
its head that the ideal conditions ex-
listing between that organization and
local organized labor were brought
about. 1t was these conditions that
caused President John Moore, at the
opening session of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor at the high school
auditorium in October, 1921, and at
which time Mr.. Beckett was sitting on
the stage. to remark, Where, as a
rule, do you find labor and the Cham
Der of Commerce understanding one
another, and both working to the
same end? Very rarely, and only in
Hamilton do you find it So" These
same conditions exist today and, as
stated before, it is due very much to
Mr.. Beckett's efforts that it is so.
No man ever met or passed Mr..
Beckett but what felt better for hav-
ing done so. Kind, loving and cour-
teous, he always had a friendly greet
ing for all and he never failed to give
it.
So, we repeat, his death is COM
munity loss. In his death Hamilton
! loses noble citizen, the Chamber of
Commerce an able and worthy leader,
and labor a kind and loving friend
We mourn with his family as if he
were our kith and kin, for to US he
was a friend in need and in deed
Our sympathy goes out to them as it
does to his immediate business asso-
ciates to whom he was affectionately
attached.
Thomas Beckett will be missed, but
he will be long remembered.
"His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him that Nature might
stand up
And say to all the world, This was
man."

will have only themselves to blame
if distrust of the judiciary continues
to gain. John P. Frey, editor of the
international Molders' Journal, points
this out in recent editorial, in which
he said:

for which there cannot be respect
are judicial acts which weaken instead
of strengthen the courts influence

don't hear so many carefully worked
up propaganda stories against it
stories of unfortunate aliens who,
knowingly or unknowingly, tried to
beat the law and failed to get away
with it.
even Judge Gary is less strident
in his demand for softening of the
law than he was. Perhaps public
opinion was too strong for him; at
any rate he now discusses the subject
of immigration indirectly, when he
discusses it at all.
Congress had two objects in pass
ing the immigration law One was
to keep the volume of immigration
within reasonable bounds, the other
to favor the old immigration, from
Northern and Western Europe, as dis
tinguished from the new immigra-
ton, from Southern and Eastern
Europe. 1t was the old immigration,
from Colonial times to the beginning
of the present century, which devel-
oped American institutions and built
up the country But the new immi-
grafton, between 1900 and the be-
ginning of the World war, was far
more numerous than the 'old' immi-
grafton ever had been. The average
number of immigrants between 1870
and 1890 was about 100000 year
The average between 1900 and 1914
was approximately million year,
with the top figures at 1885, ,349 in
1907 and 1,21S,4SO in 1914.
"The 3 per cent law allows the ad-
mittance of about 355,S28 aliens each
year This is about one-tenth the
number that would come in if our
ports were wide open-but it is surely
enough to meet all of Americas re-
quirements. And we have actually
gone back to the old immigration.
In the fiscal year just ended prac-
tically all the countries of Northern
and Western Europe filled up their
| quotas. Commissioner General Hus-
| band says that there is "a revival of
the old-time immigration, and adds:
we haven't had an assortment OF
this kind of arrivals in thirty years
"In addition to other advantages
! the old immigration provides q
larger proportion of workers and ag-
riculturists than the new

perfect; that we should have selection
rather than restriction of immigra.
ton. Maybe so, and maybe not. The
present law is the first measure fol
the restriction of immigration we have
ever had that has produced important
results. And it is doing a pretty gooc
| job of selection on its own account
Undoubtedly the immigration into the
United States during the past twelve
months has been of better quality
than the immigration for any other
year in a quarter of century. Fo1
this the per cent law deserves the
credit.
"The country had better know exact
ly what it is going to get before il
abandones a law which is functioning
so we'll in favor of scheme for the
control of immigration which may
work and may not work at ALL"

Letter From Joe Drew

Prescott, Ariz., July 81.
Mr.. Editor:
Through your columns | would like
to extend to the people and my many
friends in Randolph county my thanks
and gratitude for the honor showed
to my father on the Both of May, not
only 10y Randolph county but the
whole state of Arkansas.
Perhaps there are few Of that
great gathering of ten thousand peo'
pie who in their lives have witnessed
before such an honor. There are few
of such honors. To the Hon. j. w.
Meeks, Senator Jackson, Mr.. X. n.
Hamil, Legislator Crockett, Mr.. John
son, Senator Ponder and others who
placed this matter before the people
of the state, fully understood It was a
just cause. To these people there is
more due than thanks. II was said
that my father was part Of the main
spring of the great state Of Arkansas
in his time. When DR.. Ransom Bet

tis and my father settled on the banks
Of Black river about 1896, it was called
Belts Bluff. To the east was water,
timber and cane brakes, the home of
bears, panthers, deer and turkey. The
adventurers had come to prepare a
home not altogether for themselves
but for the coming generation TO fol-
low them. Did you not see what had
followed them the Both of May? Yes
you saw them. They had come to pay
their last respects to one Of the last
Of those who lead the way in the will
derness in one of the richest countries
in the land that you might live and
prosper and today your great country
shows that the adventurers were right.
Today almost all of this vast dOmin-
ion is in cultivation. The blue skies
of Arkansas are the same but the lum-
bermen, the farmer, the factories and
all kinds of industry has brought you
to where you have fine and happy
homes, people of industry and re-
ligion, who are preparing for your
people when your time shall come to
leave this grand old state. Arkansas
is just beginning to show her wealth.
When as boy l roamed over the hills
of Randolph county l did not know Of
what use a rock was except to throw
at fox squirrel, but having spent for
ty years in the west where all kinds Of
mineral is mined, | think / can safely
say that it will only be "A short time
until expert prospectOrs reach the hid
den treasures of mineral i'm Arkan-
sas. She will soon open up mines of
lead, silver, zinc, copper and perhaps
gold. She has good show for rare
metals. Should a prOspectOr come
along and turn over rocks that bear
radium in sight Of PocahOntas you
would see your town and county boom
and | believe that in short time n
mining boom will reach Randolph
county. ! would love to live TO see II
myself and perhaps | may.
This letter of thanks should have
reached you some time ago but you
know how this is. However, | shall
always hold Arkansas as my state
Randolph county as my county ant
Pocahontas as my old home where
spent the boyhood days of my life
All my old chums but few who used tC
chase the black bear and the white
tailed deer are gone, the sound of the
horn and the bay Of the hounds is q
thing Of the past The day that lef
Pocahontas as the train rang the bel
to cross the bridge | looked at the old
river where ! used TO swim and catcf
the blue channel catfish, gazed back at
old POcahontas and wondered would
ever see the old home again, place
that the Drew family all loved and
Pocahontas star herald., 1923-07-27

cherished. However, at this time Il
is my great desire TO return to Ran
dolph county to pass away the remain
der Of my days
Now to one and all Of you, kind
ly accept my thanks for your kindness
while i'm Randolph county, but l must
not forget old Cherokee Bay and her
people. In bygone days there was a
man who lived in Cherokee Bay by the
name Of Henry Hite. At his home the
string of hospitality hung on the out
side of his door. and when the door
opened you were at home. You were
showered with the best I'm the land.
But time has called him. He Is gone.
A good man who was loved and re-
spected by all. Today we find his son,
Harry, and we wonder II he hasn't
the same Old string that was on his
fathers door. We had the pleasure Of
nice visit at Harry's home and must
say he fills the place of his honored
parent. The day was pleasant with a
good dinner and fine music and as
trimming on the side ! still hear the
sound of Harry's old fiddle and the
tune, billie in the Low Ground" To
this family shall always hold as ]
did to his father.
A night was spent with Sid Riley
and family. Mrs. Riley being niece
of mine. They seemed happy and pros.
porous in their surroundings and can
still taste that good old ham and gravy
Now, my good editor, | know am
intruding on your space, so please

giles, Of the blue waters Of the Baten
