Chicago April l6-Organized labor of Illinois re-
nr the singing slap in the face administered by the
pr house of the General Assembly when voted down
tbe Injunction limitation bill introduced by r. O. Solder
representative Soderstrom, by quick and timely
fiamentary move saved the bill for future action in
the present session. Having kept tab the roll call pro-

TIE Republican Party of Illinois Is
:, had tix as the result of the defeat
af the Injunction limitation bill, ana
-, excuses that may be offered IN
,ba future can palliate the offense
eommio.ed. which was a downright
spd inexcusable betrayal Of the work
me people Of Illinois.
lbe Republican Party of llllnoishls
oneauiyocally pledged to pass law
enrblng the power of the courts OF
,bis state in reference 30 the issuance
of jpiunctions in labor disputes. The
action of the Legislature, which Is
controlled by the Republicans, indi-
ca.es that the platform pledges OF
the Republican Party are meaningless
and of no value.
Injunction Evil Leading Issue
One Of the principal plankS upon
which Gov. Len Small made his cam
pagn for denomination and reelection
covered the injunction evil.
Governor Small promulgated hts
declaration of principles at huge
mas meeting held in his home town
Of kankakee when he launched his
boom for a second term.
Following the Governors successful
fight for denomination, in which or
ganized labor took a conspicuous and
whoe-hearted part. the Republican
State Convention, held at Springfield
Incorporated the ''Kankakee plat
form," as it had become known, as a
part of the party platform.
Employers Hand Seen in Vote
The fine Italian hand of the Illinois
Manufacturers Association and the
Machiayelan Vaccinations of the
Illinois Chamber of Commerce are
seen in the result of the vote in the
House of Representatives on this bill.
II is suspected that these two big
business aggregations have been put
ting out something more substantial
than convincing arguments als esG Isss
promises to induce Republican legis-
lators to betray their party and the
working people of Illinois.
The big manufacturing, banking and
commercial interests of Illinois have
made arrangements to put on a huge
meeting and demonstration at Spring
field April 2I. The press agents of
this threering circus announce that
the business interests want to show
the people of the State and the men,
bers of the Legislature in particular
that the busy big business man takes
? healthy, wholesome, patriotic and
wholly altruistic interest in legiSla-
tive matters.
Plan Stampede For Constabulary Bill
Several of these meetings already
have been held at Springfield, but #
there was anything altruistic about
them it was not discernable. The OBJ
Ject of the promoters of the meetings
already held was to stampede the
Legislature into passing the bill to
create State constabulary force 20
be used for ike-breaking purposes.
Former Gov. Charles S. Deneen has
been billed as the headliner on the
speaking program for the meeting to
De held at Springfield April 2l. He Is
now one of the two United States Sen
ators from Illinois, having succeeded
Medill Mccormick March last.
Trade unionists of Illinois, who have
known Charley Deneen for many years
as perhaps the foxiest politician ever
rroduced in this State, are wondering
how the union busters" ever tagged
nm for the Questionable job that they
have fixed up for him at the Spring
held gabfest and wire-pulling stunt.
