The report has been practically re-

American Federation Of Labor held
since that time, and in the convention
held at Cincinnati. Ohio. June 18th
to the cath inclusive, 1922, practically
the same language was adopted. At

WAS adopted unanimously:
Government BY Injunction"
"As indicated by the Executive
Council under this caption, pages
9i-95 Government by Injunction"
Is not merely a phrase. 1t is, unfor-
tunately, an actual state of affairs.
Unless the equity powers of our
courts are adequately curbed and
properly limited we may as well dis
band with our legislative branch of
government and acknowledge openly
and freely what is practically in fact
"a government, not by law, but BY
judicial decree.
The evils arising out of the unwar-
ranted extension of equity powers of
Cur courts, the complete destruction
nf every constitutional safeguard by
the use Of the injunction writ, the
complete subserviancy of all other
branches Of government to this ever
expanding and overwhelming power
OF our courts of equity may well
cause all right-thinkinp people 10
pause and wonder as to where we are
With our legislative bodies
intimidated by the powers welded by
our courts and with little if any op-
portunity to confne our courts to the
sphere of government originally as
signed to them by orderly processes
of law, we can only visualize civil
resistance and disobedience to any
and all judicial DEGREES which are not
founded on legislative enactments and
which are not permissible under con.
stitutionally delegated authority.
Your committee commends the
Executive Council for its diligent eff
forts to meet this ever-growing men,
ace by Legislative redress. 1t is our
sincere hope this procedure may at
ford relief. but this growing cancer

 SALE OF RAILWAY
Mississippi Central Charges I'm
 practical Conditions

MOBILE, Ala, Aug. 1s.-The sale of the Hattiesburg branch of the G. M 6 N. railroad to the BOnhomie and Hattiesburg Southern railroad last week, which was made under authority of orders from the Alabama Public Service commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission, was involved to- day in petition to the I, 0. O. the Mississippi Central railroad to recpel the proceedings.
 The sale was made contingent upon allowing the Mississippi Central to op- crate it's trains over the branch from Hattiesburg to Beaumont, Miss, but in the petition the Central charges ''the conditions imposed are impractical of accomplishment without the further in- teryention of the commission"
 Trains are operated into Mobile by the Central over the branch and over the G. M. & N. tracks from Beaumont, bringing a large freight movement from the southwest. The Hattiesburg branch was bought by the Bonhomie road, owned by the Tatum Lumber company of Hattieshurg, and the sale was pro- tested by the Central.
 The CentraIs petition to reopen the case was published in pamphlet form. and among other things sets forth that "certain jurisdictisnal questions raised ill the proceedings have been incorrect ly determined" and ''the conditions of the report are wholly at variance with the findings of fact"
