Restricting Injunctions

Not only are the Federal courts using their un-
regulated power of rjunctionS against labor, but
against the public we'll charges Representative
La Guardia, Republican, New York, joint sponsor
of the Shpstead-La Guardia bill to outlaw labor
njunctions.
La Guarda has asked Congress to enact another
bill that would take from the courts the right to
intervene in cases such that arising from the
fve-cent subway fare fight in New York The Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company is seeking seven
cent fare and La Guardas purpose is to prohibit the
issuance of an injunction against defensive action
by the city in case the fve-cent fare attacked
confscatory
my bill would prohibit the public utility COM
panes from going into Federal Court and being per-
mitted to refuse to obey order of public serv-
ice commission fixing fares otherwise" La Guardia
explains. ut looks to if the traction
panieS will run to Federal Court and believe
it would be very helpful to the people Of New York
and every other city if my bill should be enacted.
such resort to Federal Court never was in
tended by the trainers of the Constitution. Federal
judges too free in granting injunctons and too
eager to cater to what are known as big lawyers,
but who only the paid agents of the nefarious
public utility companies"
Here is an angle of the injunction evil that de-
serves more than passing consideration. 1t shows
in another way, how the courts gradually have
tended their elastic equity power to cover almost
any situation with limitation except that of the
conscience-or caprice-of the issuing Judge. 1t is
another illustration of the need for Congressional
regulation of the use of injunction.
Here is an uncontrolled and unregulated system
that seems to on its fat spreading further
and further. Congress would do we'll to dig into
the whole matter of the apparent abuse Of the highly
flexible equity power to the interests of the
few as against the rights of the many.

Eyes of the Brace
-BY BRUCE CATTON-

When Commander Richard f. Byrd sets out on
his airplane jaunt to the South Pole next fall he
will be running into dangers as great as man can
find in this carefully regulated age.
Yet he is having no trouble recruiting companions.
On the contrary more than 200 have written him
asking for places in his expedition There is doubt
that If he wanted to, he could raise force of 10000
almost overnight
Much of this is probably due to the nature of his
projected trip. There is fascination about polar
exploration fascination that must date back to
childhood days when read thrilling tales of hardy
voyagers who were locked in the ice for months on
end and who struggled ashore over treacherous ice
foes and made their way to civilization after incredible
hardShipS.
But more potent than that probably is the glamor
that has invested Byrd himself.
In the middle ages, great heroeS-all great heroes
warriors in those days-swiftly gathered around
them numbers of ambitious fighting
There sort of common agreement that a
could get the most out of life by attaching him.
self to some famous fighter sharing dangers with
him and, it were mbibing with him the sharp
zest that life gives to the adventurous
1t seems as if the same sort of motive we're active
now.
For they glamorous men, these Byrds and
Lndberghs and Chamberlins. 1t would seem that
they have found secret that the rest Of have
not discovered.
They must have clearer eyes than the rest Of US,
that they clearly that the great prizes of
life are not peace and soft contentment, but danger
and hardship and the peril of sudden death.
Length Of days does not seem to interest them
greatly They prefer to concentrate their lives into
brief episodes by rising greatly and daring greatly,
they know that they will live intensely and fully.
The highest gifts of life, for them, do not flourish
in crowded cities in peaceful sunlit Valleys raCher
they to be found in the darkness in the cold,
over the ocean or down Under the world in the land
of eternal ice
And who can say that these men wrong? Per-
haps the 200 young men who asked Byrd for permiS-
sion to accompany him to the South Pole were wiser
than we think. To face the ultimate realities of
danger and hunger and death; to face them volun-
tarily with smile, for prize but the consciousness
that ones manhood is being tested; this perhaps, is
as good way to use man as can be found.

Get Out, Ed Jackson

If Ed jackson has the slightest regard for
the honor of the State which paid him the
highest tribute in its power by electing him
Governor, he will resign before night.
But no one entertains the slightest idea that
Ed jackson will take this course. Emerging
from his hiding place back of the statute OF
limitations the Governor held levee at the
Statehouse Friday receiving the congratula-
tons of his henchmen on the great victory
and triumph of the right" which he "won'
in criminal court Thursday.
The chorus of praise which came to the
highest executive Of the State from this claque,
however, is but a whisper in tornado com
pared to the thunderouS shout Resign, which
is rocking Indiana.
Free on techncality, Ed Jackson legally
is guiltless On the records Of law courts
there stands no conviction against him. But in
the court of public opinion the name Jackson
is besmirched and stained and the Governor
is content, apparently to let it remain 50,
resting on his 'laurels'
The very least that he can do if he retains
a spark Of honor, is to call special session Of
the Legislature and demand that this whole
unsavory affair be sifted to the bottom. Let
him come out in the open and controvert the
damning evidence hurled at him in open court.
Let him overthrow the States case if he can.
Let this huckster Of the State honor do
this. If he cannot, but one course remains
open Let him get out, and get out before
night.

t0,000-Ton Cruisers

While many Americans will be IN
terested to learn how the head of
the British admiralty feels with re-
gard to submarines, more of them
will be interested in the fact that
the Government has decided not to
build two 10,0O0-ton cruisers.
This decision is Of special signifi-
canoe because it was not brought
about by lack of funds, but by ex-
pert opinion.
British naval technitians have de-
cided that the 10,000-ton cruisers
are an inefficient type of vessel and
not worth the cost of their construc-
ton.
"Proportionate to their size, says
the engineer, a technical British
journal, "they are the most yulner-
able warships ever built. 1t is diff
cult to see how they could survive
a determined attack, the success of
which would involve not merely the
loss of a costly ship, but the lives OF
TOO people crowded into her fragile
hull.
mo wonder, then, that most naval
opinion in every country but the
United States favors reversion to q
more reasonable type of cruiser"

Pulling the EAGLES Tail

The sixth Psn-Amercan conference at Havana
is nearing its none too brilliant close Monday likely
will see the end.
After six weeks of paaver of no unusual interest
Importance two comparatively spectacular Incl
dents have occurred to mark the parley's closing
hours
First to happen was the official resignation of
DR.. Honorio Pueyrredon, both as head of the Argen
tine delegation to Havana and as ambassador to
Washington He quit his posts, he explained rather
than abandon his stand for inclusion of declara-
ton against high tariffs in the draft of the treaty
designed to regulate the Pan-American Union.
Second came the speech of Charles Evans Hughes,
our chief delegate speech that won genuine and
deserved ovation as, with fervor quite unusual in
him, he supported proposition to outlaw war in
this hemisphere through Pan American cooperation.
The effect of the Pueyrredon gesture was largely
Offset by that of Hughes. In fact, close the
heels of Pueyrredons bad news did the Hughes speech
come that it seemed almost designed with that in
view
1t was not entirely unreminscent of the tactics
of the painless tooth extractor" of medicine show
fame who used to call for burst of extra loud music
just as he yanked offending tooth from the mouth
of the patient on the stage. ANY possible moan of
anguish always was drowned in a fanfare of comets
and drums.
There can be doubt that Dr. Pueyrredon's
resignation painful blow to the conference.
But why did hf ny his protest to the point of re-
signing his posts? AS ambassador he surely knows
that tariff fixing generally is regarded as a domestic
problem. Specifically therefore, it seems mex
pcable that he should have gone such an extreme
to include his slap at our high tarff-whch is what
his gesture amounted to-in international treaty
The answer probably is that the Argentine diplo-
mat acted he did purely a matter of principle
For years Latin Americans have been Directing most
bitterly to the dominant role the United States has
played in Pan-American affairs, yet when occasion
arose in conferences such that at Havana no very
determined fight has been staged.
DR.. Pueyrredon, then, would set an example. He
might be unreasonable. He might not win his point
But he would go down fighting to the last

THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION -
Constantine Concerted to Christ
Written for The Times bu WI DNrant

Eastern and Western halves, Con-
stantine was convinced that the flu
ture lay with the Christians; and
though he postponed his own ini-
tiation into the faith till the year
of his death, he announced himself
as a convert and urged every citizen
Of his realms to do the same.
When it became politically wise to
be a Christian. the victory of the
new religion was assured. Tt was
Constantine that created the church.
Therefore it was unnecessary that
his successor, Theodosius, should
pass laws forbidding citizens to wor-
ship any longer in the temples, or
to carry on the pagan cult and
faith; that faith was long since
dead; and it was quite futile for
Julian the "Apostate" to attempt its
restoration; only sceptics followed
him, and sceptics believe too little to
fight much for anything.
Soon the church, enriched with
great gifts from its imperial con-
verts, became the strongest power in
the land. And when the Emperors
lost themselves in suicidal strife.
and barbarian foundations at last
destroyed the power of the state,
the bishop of Rome, called now the
Pope Papa or Father Of all Chris
tians, quietly stepped into the
vacant place, and ruled all Europe
in the name of Christ.

Diocletian forgot his usual wis

persecution that lasted ten years, to

Christians whom he put to death

mony of allegiance accepted their
martyrdom with courage born of

CONSTANTINE, coming to power
~ in 324. saw in this spreading
faith a principle of Indignation
which might yet restore unity to a
divided and chaotic empire, and a
source of discipline that seemed
providentially designated to support
and sanctify a dynasty recently es-
tablished Oy violence, and not yet
rooted in the habits of the race.
Arriving in Italy as a conqueror,
he won the Christians to his side at
once by the Edict of Milan. whereby
its stolen property was returned to
the church. and every official in the
realm was commanded to protect the
Christians in the practice of their
faith.
When this measure of liberation
won him valuable aid, and helped
him to reunite again the Empire

History While You Wait

Historian Big Bill Thompson appears to be work.
Ing his way gradually toward local option in his
tory writing.
daughters Of many European countries live and vote
Thompson finds it both pleasant and politically profit
able to temper the wind to the shorn lamb and to
manicure history to suit the fancy of his various
constituencies.
After pleasing the foes of Britain by oratoricaly
busting King George in the snoot Chicagos mayor
passed from the destructive to the constructive
period in the making of history and bringing it up
to date. To please many of his Polish and Lithu-
anian followers the activities of Kosciusko and Pull
ask during American Revolution have been
given greater emphasis than formerly by Mayor
ThompsonS personally directed secretaries of history
Unfortunately, however. somebody's foot slipped
and the history makers got those babies mixed with
the result that the Polish societies are protesting be-
cause modern Chicago history is doing Poland wrong
in locating Count Pulaskis birthplace or fixing his
nationality
And Chicagoans of Lithuanian ancestry are a
bit disturbed themselves. Pulaski is given Lithuanian
descent. whereas he born or seems to have been
born, in Poland and poor Kosciusko was called a
Pole while Lithuanians claim him as one of their
outstanding patriots
SO it seems that while efficiency in modern history
making she is done in the Windy City is more or
repairing history while you wait, at the time
local option in history making evidently has its pot
cal drawbacks

The Pilotless Plane

a second plane flying half mile behind
The science of aeronautics verify, has been making
vast strides. 1t was only twenty-five years ago that
the Wright brothers made the first airpane flight in
history. Now plans being made for a plane that

neering and scientific skill have been compressed into
the period between those two events!

Divorce Controversy

If the question of whether sharks
like white meat does not interest
you, try this one:
Should a wife give her husband
a divorce after living with him
twenty years in order that he may
marry another woman?
An English wife refused, and an
English judge called her uncharit-
able.
AS might have been expected. the
issue thus raised has led to a storm
Of controversy overseas, in which
lords spiritual, lords temporal. lords
of trade and lords of publicity do
not think it beneath them to en-
gage.
Viscount Mersey, 88, and former
president of the Divorce Court;
Lord Gorell, author and educator,
and Lord Danesfort, a leading bar
rister, think the wife did wrong.
Lord Askwith. the tin magnate,
and Sir Arthur Holbrook, newspaper
proprietor, think she did right.
The case is not unique and the
controversy is not new, but dis
agreement on the part of such high.
authorities show plainly that human
experience thus far has failed to
settle it.

WiIbur'S Program

Whatever naval opinion may be in
the United States, Congress does
not seem entirely sold on the 10000
ton cruiser.
The chances are that instead of

rotary Wilbur will do we'll if he gets
fifteen.
To the Layman, the 1O,000-ton
cruiser neither is fish nor flesh. She
is not big enough to fight capital
ships and she is too big to chase
subs and merchantmen.

TO the Editor:
Recently you published an article
in your paper about Montgomery,
Ward g. Co. thinking that from
the amount of business they did
with the farmers last year that they
were more prosperous than they
had been.
Do you really think that Is sign
of prosperity or is it a sign they
have less money and took this way
to make their few dollars go far
Their?
When the farmer pays his taxes
and interest on the money he has
borrowed (both are entirely too
high and keeps his family, he has
lots to shoulder. We have seven
SONS, therefore nine mouths to feed
three times a day. We send five
dinners, four to boys at school and
one to the father at work. need
help all of the time, but is there
any money to pay them with?
How can the Government pay
some of these fellows over $500 per
month for two or three hours work
a day, when the farmer and his
family work from or in the
morning until or 8 at night, and
the Government won't fix the price
of what we have to sell high enough
so that we can live comfortably.
You published an article on what
some women used a year to dress
on. I never will know how that
lady used 5000 for hosiery alone. If
had six new pairs of hose a year
would certainly think I was
sitting pretty" with new hat
every two years.
One more question would like to
ask. Why don't the price of pork
in these butcher shops go up and
down as the price of hogs does?
Forty cents a pound seems to be
stationary. What will the nation
do when all the farmers quit like
hundreds of them are doing? What
will they eat?
We certainly are thankful for
what we have and for our boys, but
we do wish our taxes would be low
cred and the price of what we sell
raised. I'd like to hear from some
other farmers and their wives on
these subjects.
Respectfully,

Rushville, Ind, r. F. D.
