In its broader aspect the labor injunction Is not 4

writ as they do every other un-Amercan practice but
the labor injunction should interest every citizen.
No believer in a constitutional system can ignore this
process which substitutes government by the individual
for government by law
The Republican platform and the Republican eandi-
dates ignore the labor inucnton Both silent this
usulpation by the judiciary.
The Democratic platform likewise ignores the labor
