Picketing Denied
 Locked Out Shop Men

Scranton, Pa, May 1I.-Hugh Han ahan, chairman of the shop mems committee of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna & Western railroad, has been declared in contempt of court by Com mon Pleas Judge Newcomb, who says the unionist violated his permanent anti-picketing injunction against the shop men.
 The injunction is about the last word for a vicious denial of every right The usual prohibition against vioalting law is contained in the writ, but this is @ screen erected by Judge Newcomb to bring the judiciary to the level of a strikebreaker. He says the strikers can not interfere with the company's employees by personal vio- lence 'or by any other means calcu- lated or intended to prevent such per sons from entering or continuing i'll the employ of said plaintiff" The in junction prohibits strikers from even conversing with strikebreakers,
 Judge Newcomb defended Lacka- wanna shop strikers 22 years ago. At that time he called strikebreakers "scabs' in open court to show his con tempt for this element.

LABOR POWER LOST;
 ALIENS NOT WANTED

New York, May 1I-"What is needed in this country is not more labor, but better direction of what we have" says the editor of Power, publication "devoted to the power problems of all industries"
 Although this country leads the world in applying machinery to mans service, we are one of the most wasteful nations of the world" says the editor
 Much has been done toward rem edying this condition, but there still remains an appalling waste, not only in materials but also in human en- deavor Yet some of our industrialists would have the bars against immigra- ton lowered to flood the country with cheap labor so that the old order of waste may continue.
 "In some industries our Wasteful methods make it necessary to use twice as many workers as would be required if properly employed. Al though the coal industry is one of the worst offenders in this respect, it is by no means the only guilty one. Furthermore, in some cases condi- | tions are getting worse instead of bet }ter"
 "Power" estimates that 3oo,ooo, 900 working days a year are lost through accidents, So per cent of which are preventable This means Nan annual id1enessi( of 1000, ,ooo working people. lowing to illness and non-industrial accidents another million are con tinually kept from their employment it is stated Estimates of this con dtion indicate that over so per cent | IS preventable"

he did that where he could.
 Next he found the govern ment had a lot of supplies on hand. Here was a great oppor- tunity. The general had some body figure up how much all these supplies would bring if they were sold at auction. Then he had somebody else figure up how much they would be if the government bought them new.
 Triumphantly he exhibited the difference as a saving" The government would use the sup plies itself!
 If that doesn't prove he's a great man, his "Monied" Men of the Constitution will. He's going to write "open shop" in to the Constitution, and collect a gang to keep it there.
