less and less frequent. Labor's war on
government by injunction" seems about
TO become completely successful.
Newest evidence of this is given by the
case of 10 railway shopmen in Superior,
Wis. They were arrested during the strike
of 1922, charged with violating nm inlunc-
ton issued by the district federal court,
They demanded a jury trial, as was their
right under the Clayton aot. The court
denied their motion and summarily found
the 10 men guilty
Appeal was taken to the United States
circuit court of appeals, but there the dis
trict courts judgment was sustained.
Convinced that their constitutional right
TO trial by jury was being refused them,
the shopmen appealed then TO the United
States supreme court. The supreme court
last October reversed the lower courts. IL
held that that section of the Clayton act
providing for jury trial in labor injunction
contempt eases was perfectly constitu-
tional. To n layman IL may seem absurd
that IL ever was necessary in the first
place TO enact such law and in the Sec
ond place TO have the constitutionalty of
that law ratified by the supreme court.
THE trial of all crimes, except in cases
of impeachment shall be by jury" says
the United States constitution.
In any event, the supreme court held
that the district court and the circuit
court of appeals had been all wrong in
the matter and sent the case back TO the
district court. There it was up to the dis
trict judge TO give the 10 shopmen the
trial by jury for which they had asked.
Instead, with the consent of the railroad
attorneys, the judge last week dismissed
the entire case.
However, the shopmen had registered
n distinct gain for the forces working to
limit the abuse of the injunction process
by the courts

Sdfetu at Sea

TIME Auto club is endeavoring to get
i the cooperation of ferryboat owners,
federal officials and ferryboat users in n
campaign for greater safety,
The club concentrates its attention on
auto drivers who insist on smoking in their
cars while the boat is at sea, With so
many fumes in the congeSted inclosed lower
deck of the boats, this is highly danger
Gus. The ferry companies employ watch
men who are supposed TO prevent this, but
on crowded days il is impossible for them
TO catch everyone.
Other ferry riders, whose safety is con-
cerned, would do well to report these vio-
latorS to the watchmen. And autoists
themselves, for their own sakeS if not for
the sake of other passengers, should stop
this perncious habit.
Another regulation that should be put
into effect on ferries out of Seattle and
nearby points is one that is enforced on
the ferries of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way.
Under this regulation all passengers in
autos must alght before the auto is taken
aboard the boat. No one but the driver
is allowed in the car until the boat docks
again.
This law, effective here, would not only
prevent undue congestion during peak
load trips, and furnish more pleasant
ride for autoistS, but would be much safer
in case of the possibility of accident

What About Speed Traps?

OFFICIALS of several small commune
~ ties over the state are raising Ned"
with the Auto Club of Western Washing
ton because that organization informs
motoring tourists of the places where
speed traps are located and where traffic
policemen operate.
The small communities charge the club
is upholding reckless and speedy driving.
1t seems to us that the club, rather, is
aiding the officials of the small towns in
getting proper observance of their traffic
laws by giving such advance information.
For we never yet have seen a speed maniac
who would open her up" thru a town
where he had information that a constable
was lying in wait for him.
Ii these towns are establishing traffic
officers for the purpose of fair-mindedly
enforcing the law in their communities.
they would welcome such help. If there
are some among them who are going in
the business only for the purpose of off
cially holding up the tourists, we for
one would like to see their plans go amiss
thru the Auto clubs system.
For the day is past when the once
favorite sport of trapping the innocent
autoist to pay the upkeep of small COM
munities can be successfully played
