Chicago.-Expressions from trade
union officers here indicate high de-
gree of satisfaction on the part of
organized labor of Illinois over the de-
termination of the Los Angeles con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor to make the injunction evil the
leading issue of the 1928 political
campaign. Organized labor of this
city and state is certain to enter the
fight with all of the resources at it's
command
Out here in the Middle West there
is growing conviction on the part of
the general public outside Of the ranks
of organized labor that it is high time
to drive from the bench and into OBJ
livion the corporation lawyers, politi-
cal lame ducks and stuffed shirts who
at present disgrace some of the high
est courts in the land.
Decisions Contradictory
Organized labor hereabouts is fully
cognizant of the disgraceful legal
tangle into which the United States
courts have become enmeshed through
the outrageously contradictory deci-
sions issued in injunction cases. The
federal courts are now in the position
of having one brand of law to ladle
out to the rich and powerful and a
different and opposite kind to dish
out to the poor.
Edgar Wallace, legislative agent of
the American Federation of Labor
draws a deadly parallel between two
decisions handed down by the United
States courts. Mr.. Wallace, who was
in Chicago a few days ago, said:
''In the Maynard case the federal
trade commission had demanded that
the coal operators in all of the states
report to the commission all of the
costs for labor, material and overhead
that enter into the production of coal
Coal Company Upheld

Maryland petitioned for an injunction
against the federal trade commission

from in any way interfering with tn,
business of the producers, on th
ground that production of coal is nee
essarily within the states and there

who have lost heart, and those who
have been infected with Indifference
and apathy since the close of the
Great War, have a wonderful oppor-
tunity," said Organizer William Col
Inns, of the American Federation of
Labor, "to renew their faith in the
trade union movement, by watching
the wonderful struggle of the strik-
ing coal miners in western Pennsyl-
vania."
Here are $4,000 men and women
engaged in a lockout which has been

only a few desertions, and which has
been financed by the United Mine

that more than half of its member

The actual shooting and the
literary preparation for this spe.
cial, starring Richard Barthel-
mess, has required a years time.
The cutting and editing will oc-
cupy the time Of a crew of ex-
perts during the summer and in
the fall the picture will be ready
for release. It is to be one of
the three road shows on the
1928 program of First Ma

The final scenes are being made
in a French village set on the
Burbank lot. The company re-
turned about a month ago, after
spending seven weeks at Camp
Lewis, Washington. where the big
war scenes were made.
The Patent Leather Kid" is

the intense pain, Captain Nun.
gesser held TO his task until he
succeeded in downing or driving
off each OF his attackers. Then
volplaning to earth and taxing
right up to the commandant, he
collapsed in the cockpit Of his
plane. Several days later, while
his jaw was still in a terrible
condition. he broke away from
the hospital nurses ana escaped
to return to action.
From the very start he as
founded his comrades and officers
by his grit and activity. He liter

delighted in continually tempting
the grim spectre. His reckless
stunt flying struck terror in the
hearts Of the enemy. He per.

piroutted over city squares.
