of conspiracy to turn over the oil
reserves 10 private interests.
Referring to charges that President
wilson had signed an order transferring
oil. reserves from the Navy to the In
terror Department. Senator Walsh read
a letter OF denial from Assistant Secre-
tary Finney OF the Interior Depart
ment.
Agreed 10 Leasing.
The letter said that President VII
son did agree TO a request by John
Barton Payne, as Secretary of the In
terror. that 100 acres of naval oil re-
serve No. 2 be leased TO the Consoli-
dated Mutual on Co. and others. Sena-
tor Walsh said there was o very good
ground for this action.
| Adverting to Robinson's charge that
bin sponsored by Secretary Daniels
in 1920 gave authority TO lease the oil
reserves, Senator Walsh said this was
not accurate and called attention that
the measure had gone through without
roll call

IN the Senate men as regardsu, of the
public interest as the Senator from
Indiana ever will be-" Walsh said.
And now, after eight years, the Sem
ator from Indiana comes here and as
sails the bill as q conspiracy between
Senate officials and the predatory oil
interests"
Robinson Replies.
Senator Robinson, who had charged
the conspiracy. said the late Senator
La Toilette. Republican. of Wisconsin,
had made the charge at the time. Walsh
replied that his bill of 1914 expressly
exempted the naval oil reserves from
its provisions TO lease public domain for
oil drilling.
Robinson, sitting almost alone on the
Republican side. was ON his feet several
times to argue with Walsh, who was
surrounded by a large attendance of
Democrats.
Finally. Senator Robinson of Arkan-
sas, Democratic leader. declared, cit Is
plain to every one here except the Sena-
tor from Indiana that the 1914 bill of
Senator Walsh was to protect public
domain oil lands from drainage"
The Indianan retorted that through
the bill, the oil interests had eventually
obtained valuable oil lands,

How did the law regard trade

LABOR INJUNCTIONS

The labor injunction is based on
the age-long theory that workers are
inferior persons-that lip-service to
freedom is sufficient for those "who
should be controlled"
1t is heritage from feudal days
when land ownership included own
ership in the human beings who titled
that land.
The original purpose of the injunc-
tion-to protect property when the
plaintiff has no other remedy at law
has been perverted.
The injunction when properly used
cannot apply to personal relations
1t cannot interfere with liberty, il
cannot operate when statutory law is
a remedy.
With the passing of feudalism and
conspiracy laws it was necessary to
again bring labor under control
Thus courts created new system OF
government that applies only to
workers. To them, freedom is yet q
figure of speech.
Under this system, workers alone
are denied constitutional guarantees
1t does not apply to any other group
of citizens. At the whim Of an equity
judge workers are called upon te
prove their innocence of any charge
an employer may make; their speech
and conduct is ordered and they are
warned to whom and how they may
address themselves.
If any other group of citizens were
treated thusly, the injunction judg,
would be quickly and emphaticall,
notified that government by law still
functions.
The labor injunction is far NOR,
reaching than the group of striker

cial system, but it officially recog

The Nature and Legality of Trade

Why is the trade union necessary?
Let us see. Formerly, during the

could hope to become a master him.
self, to own his own tools and to work
with his own materials. However,
there came time, even before the
factory era in some cases, when the
growth of trade made it no longer
possible for the worker to own either
the tools, or the product, or even to
control the processes. He became a
| lifelong wage-earner. Without
combination he was helpless before
the superior strength and cleverness
of the master or employer.
He formed a trade union in order
to pursue common action with his
fellow worker. He was content to
surrender his right to bargain as an
individual and to become merged in
the union which represented him
The union dealt directly with the en-
ployer. Combining the representation
of large body of workers, think OF
the power lodged in the union for the
benefit of its members! The history
of trade unionism then becomes the
story Of the determined struggle o.
the worker through combination fol

WHAT ABOUT PROHIBITION?

The latest reports are that the
population of the Ohio penitentiary
has passed the 1000 mark for the
first time in the history of that great
prison. And that the various county
and district courts of the state are
still sending them in with not a day
passing but what new prisoners are
added to the list.
And so it is with all our other penal
institutions, jails, work hourses, re-
formatories, etc. The insane asylums,
too, are overcrowded and the courts
jammed with cases. Before prohibi-
ton, when the question was asked as
to where the money was to come
from for maintaining jails and other
prisons, courts, ETC., with the liquor
tax wiped out, prohibition advocates
argued there wouldn't be much use
for prisons with prohibition in force
as go per cent of all crime was di-
rectly due to liquor and beer.
Now we have prohibition and mil.
lions are being appropriated and
spent by the government for its en-
forcement, yet here we are with all
prisons overcrowded and the courts
taxed beyond their limit.
How come? The question is, does
prohibition prohibit?
