LABOR INJUNCTION RESTS
ON UNTRUTH AND DECEIT

The Wall Street Journal would have its clientele be
eve the labor injunction is authorized by statute and
that relief from too rigorous application of this law
may be had on appeal to higher courts

The Wall Street Journal is not ignorant of the labor
injunction its history, its purpose and its ultimate
throw of government by law
A charge of ignorance could be registered against al
citizens alliance group, smaltown chamber of COM
publication, but not against "the oldest news
There is no law to uphold the labor injunction and it
safe to say the Wall Street Journal is well of this
fact.
The labor injunction rests ON a foundation built by
injunction judges They make distinction between a
coal mine and coal miners They put capital the coal
mine) the class with human beings and insist that
the first has equal rights with the latter Naturally they
defend their handiwork.
The injunction Judge revives the serf theory that the
right to land carries with it the right to control
sufficient labor to 0pearte that land.
Chief Justice Taft of the supreme court made this
point clear last June when he said eather Workers

The labor injunction is sustained by those who usurp
the power of government assisted by their hapes who
corrupt the peoples mind.
It takes daring to say the labor injunction is based
on law.
ms writ violates every prnclple or equity luf1s-
prudence.
1t was never approved by lawmaking body Con-
gress and several state legislatures have taken contrary
1t is SO odous that no public official has dared to
openly defend it.
It's un-Americanism is so revolutionary that its
champions and benefactors tell untruths and would de-
ceive in their defense of it.
1t ignores every constitutional guarantee that would
check its autocratic sweep
1t sanctifies the outraging of human rights.

supplanted by the courts personal views.
1t outlaws acts in strike times that considered
lawful at other times
1t debases the judiciary. 1t makes courts legal
strikebreakers. i
The Wall Street Journal favors these methods. 1t
speaks for those who approve that system of government
The labor injunction fits into its autocratic beliefs
On June 10 that publication editoriay declared that
business proposes that the president shall govern the
United States, and it is taking steps to make its will
effective"
This notification that congress will be set aside this
announcement of "the man horseback accords with
the labor injunction blending of autocratc ideals is
here shown though the blunt horseback" statement is
rather unusual.
But it would be asking too much for the Wall Street
Journal or other believers in horseback government to
tell the truth about the labor injunction AS well might
the wolves be asked to guard the sheep to ask auocas
to guard human liberty.
