LABOR WINS
GOVERNOR SIGNS AN ANTI
INJUNCTION BILL
Which Prevents Court Interference
With Peaceful Picketing
and Persuasion

Springfield, Ill.-Governor Small
has signed the anti-injunction bill
which prevents court interference
with peaceful picketing and persua-
sion. This law was secured after the
hardest campaign in the history OF
the Illinois state federation of labor.
The unionists were opposed by the
Illinois manufacturers ASSOCIATION
and allied interests. These forces
are dazed at defeat they did not be-
lieve possible.
The bill passed the lower house by
a narrow margin. A feature OF the
discussion was a speech Tor the Dill
by Representative Douglas, negro
who is considered one of the best ora
tors of that body. The position OF
this representative, together with
Representative King, another negro,
and a plea by negro trade unlomsts,
defeated the attempt of opponents to
divide friends of the bill by raising
the racial question. Both Douglas
and King had voted against the linn
itation-injunction bill in the past, but
the mastery plea of negro trade un-
ionists brought a new viewpoint TO
the two legislators.
The workers campaign has result
ed in inestimable education values.
This was shown just before the final
vote in the lower house when the
lawmakers rejected several cunning
ly devised amendments that would
strengthen the bill, it's friends were
told. The amendments, however,
would legalize a Judge enjoining a
worker from quitting his employment
if such action "caused loss" to his en-
ployer.

What the Late War
Cost Great Britain

London-The present British bud
get is 1922 million pounds as COM
pared with 2O5 million pounds in
1914, according to the government
statement for June. The army costs
nearly twice as much, the navy 20
per cent more and war pensions,
which were nothing in 1914, are now
66 million pounds year. But the
chief item is in the interest on the
national debt, which was % million
pounds in 1914 and is now at the
staggering figure of 355 million
pounds a year. About 80 per cent
of this interest on the national debt
is paid to British holders of war
bonds; it is the burden on industry
which most of all prevents British
industry from paying higher wages.

editor Of the International Molders'
Journal. Wages must keep pace with

the labor editor declared.
"In America" he said, more
wealth is produced per employe than
in any other country in the world and
unemployment for large numbers is
almost constant.
wealth, the result of labor, is
piled up in enormous masses as never
before and thousands of men, some
times hundreds of thousands, return
at night to an empty table because
their search for employment has been
unsuccessful
"Many suggestions have been made
to overcome the evil of unemploy-
ment. Economists and statesmen
have given it their best thought.
Practical men in industry have done
likewise, and some methods have
been suggested and applied which
have, to small degree, minimiZed
the evil.
"To the trade unionist, and partic-
ularly to one who is not welded to
any one economic or political doctrine,
one fact stands out more prominently
than any other. The increased pro-
ductivity of the individual workman
due to the introduction of machinery
and more effective systems of man

"No more certain way of solving
the problem of unemployment can be
found than to make the workmen's

ed efficiency to produce. So long as
the workers wages are insufficient to
buy on basis of labor's increased
