LABOR IS UPHELD IN ITS
ANTI-INJUNCTION CONTEST

United States Senator Peppers address "Injunc-
tons in Labor Disputes at Philadelphia before the ma
TONS lawyers should command the attention of every
citizen who would maintain the integrity of our judiciary
The address is additional proof that the policy of in
correctly interpreting labors grievance will no longer
suffice.
The sef-satisfed gentry who would fippantly dis
miss abors complaint have failed. 1t will shock this ee
ment to read Senator Peppers statement:
"I the quickly existence
the country sentiment this subject which, unchecked might easily
develop into a revolutionary sentiment"
Senator Pepper indorses labors agitation against the
injunction. He says:

WORKERS THEMSELVES"
That friends of the labor injunction may consider
judges immune from criticism let Senator Pepper again
"TO MAINTAIN SUCH CONFIDENCE Tin our

Has labor ever made its indictment of court usurpa-

We're injunction advocates distinctly told
that they distinguish between "the self protection
of industrial class and wanton conspiracy to in
jure property and business?"
The address gives consolation to the injunctonl
judge and his defenders. 1t sustans labors opposition
and gives warning that that policy is undermining our
judicial system.
The vciousness and evil consequences of this writ is
being understood by many thoughtful citizens To ex
tend that knowledge is the duty of labor.
Our courts must be confined "to the sphere in which
the creators of constitutional system intended them
to live and move and have their being"
The labor injunction is denial of government byl

this system is arbitration board to which

The method of this board has behind constitutional
pledges and centuries of custom that have grown out of
experience and the necessities of the people.
The hsh purpose of our judicial system is being sub
ordnated. Those who would subjugate labor make the
court their tool.
}a Through the injunction writ political guarantees
set aside and large element of the populace placed at
the mercy of judges who make law and interpret and
force same.
In it's contest against this system the workers
not only fight for their rights but they battle for govern
ment by law and to the judiciary from itself.
Government by injunction must go.
1t is within the power of labor to hasten its day OF
doom.
