Labor Injunctions
 Against Democracy

Decatur, H., Sept. 15.-"If we are to ave>democracy in government in any real sense, the appointment of judges must be abandoned and provis- ion made for their popular election" !" said President Walker of the Illinois State Federation of Labor in his re- port to the annual convention.
 These injunctions invariably abro- gate the free speech, free press and peaceful assemb1age provisions of the constitution of the United States"
 President Walker pointed out that these injunctions also abrogate jury trial 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 proceedings in the trial usual ly reverse the lawful and legal pro- ceedings in all other court cases, un der the constitution and laws of both the nation and the states"

REGISTER GETS
 IN DUTCH WITH
 BANG THIS TIME
New Haven Anti-Labor Paper Picks on Millionaire's Building and Has
 to Swallow It After

The New Haven Register, with it's
 we'll known ability for distorting the facts, got in dutch" again this week,
 but this time, instead of getting in
 bad with defenseless workingmen, |especially- Organized workingmen.
 picked out the million dollar Powell
 building as a subject for distortion
 and it made some difference accord
 ing to the results There was a minor
 leak in the ammonia tank used for
 cooling the water supplied for drink ing purposes and Immediately the sen
 sation mad Register played it up as a narrow escape from death for every
 one of the GOO or so occupying the building Was there roar-there was and the innocent cub reporter who brought in the story was fired while the editors who handled it and displayed 1t smugly hid behind the cubs downfall -..
 A year ago when the railroad shop strike took place the same Register published photograph of the strik- CTS getting their last pay and labeled it as Strikers seeking their jobs back. There was howl at that time but nothing like the one that went up over the recent episode MT. Powell was called up by hundreds who expected his building had col lapsed and after he recovered from his collapse he got busy on the Reg ister.
 The other newspapers of New Ha- ven also got busy on 1t and everyone carried condemnatory stories finally exposing the Register for it's sensa- tionalism. Tie Register itself on Thursday meekly swallowed the story winding up with the statement that the over-zealous reporter would have plenty of time to go hunting and fishing this fall The reporter was made the goat while those responsi- ble for the display and the article it. self in reality still hold their jobs a chance to attack Labor men and cover up the Powell building in cident.

PINCHOT ENDS
 COAL STRIKE AS
 COOLIDGE WAITS
Pennsylvania Governor Steals Thun- der of President by Reach
 ing Agreement.

While not yet officially called off, the coal strike Is ended, thanks to Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania. The miners will get raise of 10 per cent, the eight hour day is retained, and a two year contract will be en- tered into as soon as the rank and file agree te the decision of their ex- ecutive committee to accept the plan proposed by Governor Pinchot. The operators, threatened with probable seizure of the mines and government operation, agreed to the increase but are already planning to pass the cost onto the public despite the glaring facts produced by the U. s. Coal Commission that the profits already being, taken after the coal is mined are enormous.
 Pinchot's settlement of the situa- quite considerably. President Cool idge in turning the strike over to the Penn. State governor had no idea, re- ports from Washington say, that he would be able to get the opposing factions together. When Pinchot failed then the government-repre- sented by President Coolidge would step in and force the operation of the mines even if the government had to do it itself and pay the damages.
 Now Pinchot is being spoken of as one of the progressives in line for the nomination for the presidency. If. he failed in the coal strike and CooNge made good it would be "taps" for Pinchot and a call to arms for Cool idge But Pinchot succeeded and the thunder is taken out of the ad Like in the Boston po- lice strike, Coolidge let the other fel- low do it, but unlike the Boston strike, this time the other fellow gets the credit.
 Anyhow the strike is over or win be as soon as the miners vote accept anee of the agreement. There is very small chance of it not being adopted so New England may be kept warm this winter providing the public has the price the operators, railroads and are going to demand for the coal

Trenton, N. J., Sept Ex-Governor Silzer has ordered the public service railway company evicted from the streets of Al New Jersey cities and towns. This corporation furnished street car transportation to these com munities up to a month ago, when 6,3oo employees suspended work be- cause of wage differences.

We gave the company the use of our streets with the clear understanding that i'll return it was to give adequate transportation facilities to the public We must then either have the ser vice or the streets back"

NEW HAVEN ROAD MUST ACCEPT PLAN
 OR SEE SHERIFF

Formal approval of the re-organiza- ton plan of the so-called Starrow committee by conference of New England governors definitely makes 1t the basis of any state help accorded New England railroads. The report was ratified in it's entirety when pre- sented to interested governors last week, says a dispatch from Washing ton this week. It's interesting and says:
 Among the remedies suggested for relieving the transportation chaos that business men declare Is destroy ing the commercial and industrial i'm terests of New England is financial help from the treasuries of New Eng land states working for re-organiza- tion.
 The granting and acceptance of this aid, however, is made dependent upon the relinquishment of control by the present homogeneous and the substi- tuition of state control through board of trustees to be named either by the governors of the several leg iSlatureS.
 The Storrow committee evidently deemed it impracticable and futile to extend additional credits to present pointing out that huge fed eral grants had been dissipated with out any improvement in railroad prop erty or service.
 Draining Process Necessary.
 It was stated that without large sums of money it would not be possi- ble to relieve the existing disastrous situation which is causing anxiety to New England business interests.
 1,a clared. have been so badly managed that they must go through a re-or- ganization that will squeeze the water hundred million dollars.
 The security owners must be con- tent to relinquish dividends for period of three years and accept half dividends for seven additional years.
 Various other reforms are outlined, all being made contingent on state financing and supervision through a direct trusteeship representing the state governments.
 Ten Years for Reformation.
 It is believed by the Starrow com 1nittee that, relieved of speculating and incompetent managements, the New England roads can be worked out of their difficulty within the TO- year period suggested for state con troll
 It is expected that during that per iod the funds that states may advance will have been repaid, consultations will have been effected, the equipment of the roads restored and traffic ser vice made adequate.
