COURTS AGAIN AID EMPLOYERS
IN AN ANTI-UNION CAMPAIGN

From Chicago comes the information
that the federal judiciary has again
placed itself at the disposal of anti
union employers.
A firm in that city enforced the "yel-
low dog on its unorganized garment
workers. BY signing this document, be-
fore they can secure employment, these
workers agree that they
will not become member Of any labor union,
and will have no dealings, communications or IN
terviews With the officers, agents or members
of any labor union in relation to said employ
ment"
An organizing campaign of union
garment workers interested some OF
these non-union workers, and the for
mer were enjoined by the federal court.
They were ordered not to do anything
that might have a tendency to cause
the non-union workers to ignore the
yellow dog'-to break their contract.
The yellow dog" was legalized by
the United States supreme court,
December 10, 1917 (Hitchman Coal Co.
VS.. United Mine Workers). At that
time the court upheld an injunction
issued against the miners, who were
ordered not to interfere with the "yel-
low dog" contract the Hitchman con-
Germ enforced on its unorganized min
erS.
These courts call the yellow dog a
fair contract. This is ridiculous.
1t is principle of law that neither
party to a contract shall be under du
ress-must not be subject to coercion
or unfair advantage.
An unorganized worker in search of
employment is not on a parity with the
manager of coal mine or the owner of
a garment factory.
That worker is not a free moral
agent. He is subject to the employers
duress. This employer, through his
economic power, forces the worker to
sign away rights because those de-
pendent upon him must be sheltered,
clothed and fed
The right of worker to join trade
union is undeniable, and yet federal
courts will stand behind anti-union en-
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1923-09-14

ployerS who force workers, through ne.
cessity, to sign away that right.
The court defends It's position on the
ground that the worker is free and
independent. This is illuSory. Ii is
fiction. 1t is nineteenth century stuff
unworthy Of any judge who processes
To note developments IN industry.
The courts aid To the yellow dog
can not be justified by any legal or
moral standard. The employer violates
the first rule of equity procedure when
he comes into court with this request,
He has forced the worker. To surrender
a legal right and then asks the court
to aid him in this wrong.
The employer does not come into
court with clean hands, and some time
some brave and fearless federal judge
will take that position.
Ii may be said that the worker has
the right to quit his employment.
That is no answer to the principle
involved. Rights can not be restored to
men by the simple process Of their leav-
ing the scene of their wrongs. That is
not justice. 1t is a miserable defense of
the injunction iniquity.
Ii is elemental that men should abide
by their pledged word and their writ
ten agreement. But not when they are
victims Of an unfair advantage.
Courts invariably hold that a con-
tract secured under duresS is null and
void. The only exception is the "yel-
low dog This shows the anti-unon
animus and the property bias of those
judges.
Workers should disregard any court
protection of the yellow dog
Such an injunction brings judges in
to contempt because the judiciary
throws its unlimited power on the side
of industrial autocrats and against de-
fenceless wage workers who have been
compelled to waive their rights to
secure employment.
II is a spectacle that degrades the
judiciary. It is an exhibition of un-
fair, unreasonable power by courts that
should have no place in our American
halls of justice.

LABOR DELEGATES
IN CONVENTION
AT DECATUR

A delegation of Twin City Fedora
ton of Labor leaders left Monday to
be in attendance at the state conven-
ton at Decatur.
The Twin City organization will
have the backing of influential civic
bodies in making their request for the
next annual state convention to be
held in Champaign. Resolutions en-
dorsing the plan have been voted at
recent meetings of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Association of Com
merce, and the Kiwanis and Rotary
clubs. A special invitation has been
accorded the convention to hold its
sessions in a University building.
With the backing of such organiza-
tions and the endorsement of the Uni
versity authorities, difficulties in
securing the appointment should be
easily surmounted.
The convention at Decatur is re-
ported to have in attendance more
than 1000 delegates from various
units of the Federation throughout
the state.
Delegates from the Twin Cities at
tending are John McGrath, H. W.
Clark, c. f. Daugherty, James G.
Brown, Walter Price Jr., J. C. Adams,
Mr.. Smiley, NJ. d. Campbell, Mr..
Carrothers and Prof Gordon S.
Watkins.

LABOR INJuNCTIONS AGAINST
GOVERNMENT DEMOCRACY.

Decatur, lll.-"lf We are TO have
democracy in government in any real
sense. the appointment Of Judges
must be abandoned and provision
made for their popular election" said
President Walker Of the Illinois state
federation Of labor in his report to
the annual convention.
"These iniunctions invariably abro-
gate the free speech, free press and
peaceful assembage provisions OF
the constitution Of the United States.
President Walkef pointed out that
these iniunetions also abrogate jury
rial guarantees by the federal and
state constitutions, and that defend.
ants are also denied the right Of habe-
as corpus and the right Of appeal.

The Review for publication:
Editor Twin City Review
"Dun's Weekly Review of last week,
gives the value of the 1913 dollar as
60 cents in present purchasing power
of commodities.
"Scrutator, writer on economics
for newspaper publications, gives the
value of the wage dollar of 1913 as
1.33 13 by increase of wages for
same period.
These figures are the total average
in the United States, of buying value
and received ratio of the 1913 dollar.
They clearly demonstrate that wages
generally are not high, but that the
reverse is true; they are low!
"lf certain wage time tsay four
hours) in 1913 brought one dollar, it
also bought one dollar worth of COM
modities. The same period now pays
the worker one dollar and thirty
three and one-third cents, and buys
but eighty-siX and two-thirds cents
worth of goods.
"The reader must bear in mind,
these figures are totals in prices and
wages, and have nothing to do with
special trade wages, or selected low
commodity prices"
