is a judge who misinterprets the law
by using injunctions in labor disputes.
Maehinists' Union.
Here are two recent occurrences,
aside of many similar ones in the past,
which will prove our contention. The
machinists' district council decided
upon an organization drive and after
a few months of activity-just as their
drive began to be, effective-the en-
ployers applied for an injunction.
Without a moments hesitation this
writ of injunction was issued. Similar
is the case of the Walters and Cooks
Union, who had an injunction issued
against them shortly after they started
an organization drive.
Break Wall of Silence.
Can organized labor remain silent
and leave this matter rest? The an
swer to this question raises another
question. Can organized labor decide
not to carry on organization work?
Unquestionably, the answer is mo-"
regardless whether the worker or the
official of the union belongs to the
progressive or so-called conservative
group. Labor cannot afford, If it wants
to uphold it's right of existence, to per-
NIT this Injunction menace in labor
disputes.
Class Justice.
There is one thing that must be I'M
derstood, and that is that we cannot
get any justice from those who are
interested to interpret justice for the
employing class. The best proof Of
this is the recent action Of Governor
Len Small. The governor, before the
last election, posed as friend of labor
and made numerous statements to this
effect in some of the press. In fact,
the official labor bodies, seeking the
favor of Len Small endorsed him and
his slate for office.
What Has Small Done7
What has Governor Small done for
labor since he is in office? Here Is a
case that arouses the protest of every
. freedom-loving person. If this case
were private instead Of labor case,
am convinced that it would not take
Governor Small more than twenty-four
hours to decide to pardon these men
and women who have left children as
young as seven months at home, and
as many as three, four and five. Some
have left mothers and fathers who are
iii. Others left families dependent
upon them.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-22

These men and women have COM
mitted no crime. Their only "crime"
was to speak to their fellow-workers
Of the non-union shops during the
time of the strike that they join the
union and help them to better condi-
tions. No one can claim that this is
crime against the community. No one
can charge that they have interfered
with law and order in this city. Gov
ernor Small has not yet answered the
strong appeal made to him by repre-
sentatives Of the, clergy and of the
liberals of this state. He did not even
find 1t necessary to answer the people
who appealed to him and to reply to
the numerous kilograms sent to him
as to what his intentions are in these
cases.
Labor cannot depend on friends like
Len Small and others of his class.
There is only one way in which labor
can fight against the injunction
menace in labor disputes. That is by
mass activity. 1t is the duty of every
worker in this city to rally to the sup
port of the Ladies' Garment Workers
Union in their fight against injunc-
lions and for the release of their men,
bers. Their members are serving in
prison not only for what they have
committed during their 1924 strike,
but are serving because of lack of &C
ton on the part of organized labor in
this situation. The Ladies' Garment
Workers have began their fight. They
call upon all workers for their unani-
nous support.
Attend Protest Meeting.
The protest meeting which has been
arranged for Thursday, July %, at the
Temple Hall, Marshfield avenue and
Van Buren, street, at p. m. must be
filed with workers of all trades. The
protest against iniunctions and the i'm
prisonment of workers for violation of
the injunction must be heard as loud
as organized labor can make it, so
that the city and state authorities and
| judges who are on the bench Of JUS
| tice will take note that organized labor
will not stand for any misuse of the
law. To be silent means to indorse
these acts of a judge. Trade union
workers, come to the mass meeting
and demand the right of free speech
free press, free assemblage and the
right of organizing without the inter
ference of injunctions.

Kids Pennies Build
Non-Union Candy Into
Sixth u. S. Industry

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 20. -
One big unorganized industry now
claims sixth place among the largest
of the country's industries. This is
the candy business, according to
speakers at the 9th annual conven-
ton of the confectionery salesmen's
organization. One chain store con-
Germ made $2,OoO,OOO on candy sales
alone last year.
1.-THE kid with the penny is the
greatest buyer" the statesmen declare.
The biggest profits come from the
cheapest, adulterated candies into
which go ingredients of very doubtful
food value.

"In the interests of workers organi-
cations, we, the Office stan of the
Freiheit, Jewish workers daily news

statement thru the labor press:
Demand Admittanee.
"As class-conscious and organiza-
tion-conscious Office workers, we
sought admission to the Office workers
union in New York-the Bookkeepers' ,
Stenographers' and Accountants I'm
ION, 1886, of the American Federation
of Labor.
when we found out that the union
had begun an organization campaign,
we again made a request to the above
mentioned Bookkeepers', Stenogra-
piers and Accountants Union by let
ter on March %, 1926. In response,
Mr.. Bohm, the secretary of the union,
came and took note of the names OF
the staff and the salary received by
each and promised to report to us
within a week.
1.-TWO months passed without any re-
ply from the union. We again ad-
dressed a communication repeating
our request and reminding of the
promise to reply. AS In the case of
the first letter, Secretary Bohm again
came. In the course of his converse
ton with our representative he said:
Between me and you, / am in favor
of taking all of you into the union,
but Bright is opposed to It,. because
you know we have nominations
in September and elections in Octo
Der. :" When our representative
told him that this was not a matter OF
personal opinion OF his or Bright's. he
asked for an extension OF another
week for final reply.
THAT week never came.
Bright Objects.
after waiting another month, we
called up the union office and our rep
resentative spoke to President Bright
who informed him that at the last
membership meeting, on June 81, 1926
he reported to the membership that
the following proposition was offered
to the Freiheit Office staff:
."'That the union will accept the
Freiheit Office stan as members al
large, which. he explained, would re
gard our Office stan as union, but thai
we would not have the right to attend
meetings, and would not have the
right to voice nor vote in the union.
In plain English, the Freiheit's Office
star would be given the privilege Of
paying dues. without enjoying the ele
mentary rights OF union membership
We told President Bright that no such
proposition was made to us. Well.

LEGAL HANDICAPS

Often the law defeats the very purpose for which
it enacted. There is a law in New Jersey prohb-
iting the expenditure of money for building purposes
any property which does actually belong to the
State, unless specially provided for.
This is designed to circumvent graft But in the re-
building of the Stockton Bridge this law acted a
handicap which is delaying the work. The Free Bridge
Commission ready to let contract the masonry
work last summer. But because deeds had not
been actually executed the contract had to be delayed
until after the passing of titles. This ruled by the
Attorney Generals Department.
But the execution Of deeds delayed pending
search of titles, etc, and when the transfer
finally made the high water prevented foundation work
being done. The high waters continued all winter and
that they have receded it has been found that the
foundations the Jersey abument will have to be
built This naturally delay
Had it not been for the above law the masonry work
would be finished.

kill MY DOG AND I'll KILL YOUR CAT"

Occasionally traffic police conduct intensive drives
tons from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. This is in
accordance with antiquated law, enacted when autos
objects of wonder and awe, demanding visiting
autos from the other states to additional Ii
plates if remaining fifteen days, if max
ing than fifteen trips into the neghboring state.
If the drive is conducted by Jersey police, then
prisas taken by Pennsylvania police and vice

the majority of the United States.
However, the lawmakers of a few states have real
lied how peevsh and pcayune such reprsals, and
they have Canned" the law. In its stead they have
adopted reciprocity acts with neighboring states,
whereby autos from the adjoining state enjoy full
privileges without securing additional registration.
We call ourselves "The United States" yet here is
petty law which makes citizen alien the minute
he drives his into another state. No state charges
import and export taxes when goods shipped from
state to another. So why should tax be imposed
upon a man when he drives his car into an adjoining
state?
All states pay Federal taxes into the National Gov
eminent, and Federal aid is given all states alike
in matching funds for road improvement. So why
shouldn't motor registration be sufficient any
road in the United States?
Automobile clubs of the country seem to have
overlooked this essential need in their efforts
protective legislation for their members Why don't they
conduct concerted drive to reciprocity acts in
each state that mans full citizenship may be
protected?

"of all de lazy nggers whut cutters de Ian, dat

peeve was being expressed in uncertain terms He
peeved that he didn't wait for audience
to hear his of dsdan for the lazy colored
who could be persuaded to do any work in his
church.
"Efen lazness wuz money dat nigger'd be richer

"Wel that's what I'd call the acme of laziness, y

Doc spat an amber stream with perfect gesture
of abhorance and wiped his mouth with the back of his
hand "Hts dat good -fer-nothin job White whit Abs

Professor Mount laughed. "oh yes, know him. He's
the fellow who is too lazy to tell people he has
hot dogs to sell"
"Yassuh dat's i'm! Dey's anudder hot dog stan

At Professor Mounts laugh of appreciation Doc
seemed to thaw little, and a grin wrinked his genial
old face. "But Jim Brown git eben wild dat lazy Job

"How was that ?" Professor Mount inquired.
Doc chuckled "Yo' know Jim Browns purity well

"Well twerent vey high" Doc replied, 'Cause hit

membered his ire against job and launched on another
TRADE against his laziness.

INDEMNITY BY LAW SOUGHT

FOR VET AMNESIA VICTIM
WASHINGTON, D. C.,-The con-
gress of the United States has been
asked to give identity to Jerry
Tarbot," an amnesia victim of the
World war, in special bill intro
duced by Representative Albert E.

Tarbot, who remembers nothing,

The American Legion found him in

Officials and enlisted men of the

seeing Tarbot in action but do not
remember his name. "The man is un-
doubtedly a World war veteran"
officials declare, "but he has no
official status, and his disqualification
by the veterans bureau was by
special authority from Director
Frank T. Hines"
Many hopeful mothers, sisters and
