Judge-made law and injunction judg-
eS are increasing their power over the
lives of the people, and conditions are
shaping for the inevitable contest be-
tween rule by ohgarchs and rule by
law.
Usurpation by judges is natural. II
Is another proof of the intleXible law
that power begets power; that no man
or group of men can be trusted to rule
their fellow men.
Wage workers were the first victims
of judge-made law. This is true in
every case where tyranny operates.
As the public accepted judge rule as
a substitute for law, the judges con-
tinued to extend their power. The in
eXorable law was operating-power be-
gets power.
Injunction judges have denied free
spaeh, free aSsemblage and trial by
jury. They have placed the dollar
above human rights. They have now
reached the stage where they are con-
trolling newspapers.
With few exceptions, these news
papers have defended injunction
judges. Now it will be interesting To
see how long the Fourth Estate will
accept advice it so freely gives work
ers; how long will it forego constitu-
tional rights and submit to irresponsi-
bic rule.
Organized labor has been lectured
by newspapers because it opposes the
injunction in strike times. Then rights
are denied and acts are outlawed that
are legal if no strike exists.
"They want to violate law" is the
dust-raising cry of these newspapers,
that have ignored gross violation of
fundamental principles and constitu-
tional guarantees.
But these newspapers are due for a
change of policy Injunction Judges
are increasing their power and are now
debating to newspapers. They are
making a mockery of free press, as
they have of free speech and peaceful
assembly.
The injunction Judge is giving the

INJUNCTION JUDGES ARE DAILY
SEEING MORE POWER

Fourth Estate the same treatment ae-
corded wage workers.
The public has not forgotten recent
attempts of New Mexico courts to gag
the press by sentencing Editor MEgee
of Albuquerque to prison because he
dared critieise courts. The editor was
pardoned by the governor of that state.
The Arizona state supreme court has
ruled that a Judge can gag newspapers.
In this ease the superior court of Gila
county enioined the holding of an elec-
ton, which was prescribed by statute
The Silver Belt, 4 daily newspaper
published in Globe criticised the court.
The editor was found guilty of con-
tempt.
The state supreme court upheld this
suspension Of law and control of the
press. "We think the articles from
which we have quoted are to be CON
sidered contemptuous, said the court.
The law-defying lower court who de-
famed the judiciary, escaped censure.
From Superior, Wis, comes the news
that Federal Judge Luse has warned
the editor of the Superior Evening Tel
egram that he must not publish news
of a criminal trial which might have a
tendency to prejudice jurors.
The accuracy of the news was not
questioned The court made no attempt
to stop Jurors from reading the paper,
Instead, he told the editor what he
could not print, and would enforce his
edict by contempt proceedings.

They again prove that on group in
society is immune from an injustice
that has been inflicted on any other
group. They also recall the unyielding
law that when men are permitted to
usurp power they will extend that
power
Jlidge-nadp4 law and the labor in
junction judge are enemies of popular
government. They are enemies of
every requisite of free people-free
speech, free press, free assembly and
trial by jury.

London, Sept. 6.-Trade
unionism represents an un-
dying force by which the
worker seeks a fuller life
for himself and his depend
entS.
This is the ringing declaration Of
the Industrial Christian Fellowship
which numbers among its membership
some of the foremost prelates of the
church Of England. 1t appears in the
form of an open letter to employers
published as a tract by the Fellow
ship and written by a. Herbert Gray.
Mr.. Gray questions whether the
employer really tries to understand
what lies behind the organization OF
the workers and their willingness 10
endure any sacrifices for the sake OF
their union. He suggests that the
workers, by organizing, are seeking
to win that fuller, richer life which
the employers have already attained
and urges that the spirit OF trade
unionism be studied with intelligence
and sincerity. Extracts from Mr.
Gray's letter follows:
you repeatedly say-publiclty IN
measured words, and privately IN
other words-that the real obstacle
to progress is the unreasonable attl-
tude of the workers. Their demands
for wages are said to be eXtortionate,
Their willingness to strike on any
small provocation is pronounced fatal

Union LABOR
WINS APPROVAL
SAYS LEWIS

Enemies of organized labor have
learned in the past year that organ
ized labor cannot be destroyed" said
John /. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, in a Labor
Day message.
Mr.. Lewis stated that last year had
been filled with trials for Union La
Dor due To the constant and steady
attack by powerful interests and
influences but he declared that these
antagonistic forces are learning that
trade union is a legitimate American
institution and that the American pub
lie has rendered its full approval of
the idea.
49, Organized Labor stands in favor
of peace and industry" he said.
Labor desires that peace which
comes with honor through the appli-
cation of the principles of fairness
and Justice. Labor will do its part to
establish and maintain that kind of
peace
Let us remember that without or
ganIzation labor would be helpless to
express itself or to take its own part
in the struggle against the forces that
would destroy labor's liberty"
