a union which would protect yol
In 1926 you engaged in strike
of several weeks duration
against the company unions of
the traction trust.
Last summer you were ready
to strike again.
On every occasion the traction
trust has fought you. With the aid
of the city police who slugged You as
you came from your meetings, as in
1926, with the aid of the courts, they
have tried to break your spirit and
force you to take without protest
their "yellow-dog" individual contract
system.
They want you to remain morgan
lied, separate individuals without
power, while they are organized from
Wall Street to the city hall, the state
house in Albany, yes and as far as
the White House in Washington.
The traction trust has not been able
to stamp out the desire for organiza-
, ton. The traction workers still want
to organize and improve their condi-
tions. You have been ready to strike
in the face of the l. R. T. injunction
The traction barons know that you
have not agreed to be slaves to their
company union.
Traction Trust Goes Limit.
Now the traction barons go one
step farther. They have applied fo1
an Injunction which seeks to outlaw
the whole labor movement forever
and to make their company union SUI
preme. They want ito make it impos-
sible for help to come to you from
any source.
They want to set up in the sub
ways, the elevated, the surface lines
in the power-houses and switching
stations, a nation of their own, with
Hedley and Quackenbush as king anC
prime minister, from which organ.
lied labor shall be barred.
Fellow workers, this is the extreme
| limit to which the traction barons, OF
any other set of bosses in America
have ever gone. Other injunctions
have been asked and issued against
workers but this is the first time that
huge corporation dares to say that
it wants the whole labor movement
outlawed, that it will not permit g
single union man to talk to Traction
worker about organization. 1t wants
in simple. words, to have the worker!
in the whole gigantic traction indus

This is danger which threatens
the life of the whole labor movement
/ If the traction barons succeed in thi;
attack then very soon an attack vii
be made on the workers in other in
dustries.
The injunction menace must bt
smashed. The whole American work
ing class suffers from it. 1t is mo-
the fight of any one section of the
labor movement but the fight Of al
workers.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT
RECREATED IN CHICAGO
Northwestern University Law
School Has Replica Of Famous
English Forum.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, June 1S--The British
House of Commons has been recre-
ated in Northwestern University's new
School of Law, to inspire with an at
mosphere Of Burke and Gladstone the
young students preparing themselves
for the bar.
In Lincoln Hall, the only replica of
the famous English forum in America,
benches like ancient church pews face
each other, as in Parliament, from six
tiers on either side of the hall.
The auditorium was opened by the
first American lectures of William
Searle Holdsworth, successor Of the
celebrated Blackstone, as Vinerian
professor of law of oxford University.
On the walls are portraits of Abra-
ham Lincoln and John Jay, the latter
in scarlet robes of sort no longer
worn by the Supreme Court, of which
he was the first chief justice. Lincoln
mementoes in the lobby include fac
SMILES of some of his pleadings.
The new auditorium Is the principal
lecture hall in the Levy Mayer School
Of Law on the new downtown campus
Of Northwestern University, where
are housed the uniyersity's profess
sional schools. 1t was donated by the
widow of the Chicago attorney, who

mitted today to Health officer William

Thursday, and thus far SO nuisances
have been found and notices served
for abatement.
A number Of structural defects also
were observed by the sanitary inspec-

domination of insanitary buildings.

take between st. Johns and Valenr
cia Island.
The difficulty In flying along the
great circle Is that the flyer has to
change his compass setting, according
to the declination of the place where
he is flying at the time. If he miscal-
culates his location he eventually
would deviate from his course.
THE merit of the course Comdr.
nByrd will follow Is that he does not
have to know how far he has advanced
on his route in order TO know how to
steer his course.
"Comdr. Byrd will follow a route to
st. Johns which will afford him the
greatest number of land marks and
emergency landing fields He then
will follow the navigation method
described above in his transatlantic
flying.
Gle will use the earth inductor
compass AMI Il standard magnetic
compass TO carry out this plan. and
also will use the sun compass in flying
to check up on his other compasses.
