The Injunction Fight

Senate progressives will their efforts to OBJ
tain legislation curbng the use of njunctions in labor
disputes after the tariff is out of the way
This is good news The issue is important to
every wage Garner and should be settled.
1t has been apparent for several years that federal
Judges under existing legislation have abused out
rageously THEN, equity power in issuing writs in
strikes. Laws have been interpreted in such way
that workers have been denied the right of free as
sembly, the right of free speech the right to organize
the right peaceaby to persuade their fellow workers
to refrain from work and other supposedly guaran-
teed personal liberties.
Abundant proof of abuses has been offered and
need for remedial legislation is apparent What form
this legislation shall take difficult question: and
has been the subject of discussion among members
of congress- labor leaders, lawyers and others for
more than three years.
The original ant-injunction bill offered by Sena-
Tor Shpstead of Minnesota was regarded as made
quate by the judiciary committee and a substitute
measure was prepared.
The American Federation of labor, in its last con-
venton at Toronto Endorsed this measure in it's es-
sential principles and agreed to support bill which
differs from it only in minor detail.
Briefly the intention is to define the powers Of the
federal courts to intervene where irreparable injury
procedure so summary court action without hearings
will be impossible and to protect persons accused of
contempt where writs are issued
The Sherman antitrust law which opened the
way for restraining orders would be altered
Meantime, more and more attention is being given
to the Intervention of federal courts in questions in
volving state control of utites-such in the re-
cent New York subway case, the current New York
telephone rate the Baltimore street car fare case
the famous Indianapolis Water Company case and
others of like nature.
Legislation has been introduced on this subject as
we'll seeking to keep the regulation of local utility
matters in the hands OF local regulatory bodies
The two questions related in that both repre-
sent what many believe is an undue exercise of au-
thority by the federal judiciary In one instance fed
sra judges deprive citizens of private rights guara-
teed to them under the Constitution
In the other, they step in to enable corporations to
avoid control by the machinery communities states
have set to protect themselves Personal rights are
destroyed; property rights protected.
Both questions important, and deserve the
serious study Of congress.

Another Spanish Dictatorship

Liberal rejoicing over the fall of the Spanish dc
tatorship of General Primo de Rivera would be pre-
mature. An army clique and reactionary king still
are in absolute control of the country. The hand
picked premier designate another militarist, Gener
al Berenguer.
Berenguer once was an accomplice of Dictator De
Rivera and later personal enemy. There is nothing
in his record indicate that he is any better than his
predecessor who was forced to resign by the army and
king.
OF course the new man promises reform and a re-
turn to constitutional government. But those promises
are no different from the pledges of the old dictator
That is not to say there will be reforms, but
merely that there is nothing either in the character
Of Berenguer, the king the army unta, the manner

SCHUBERTS BIRTH
January 81

ON Jan. 81, 1897, Franz Schubert,
- the famous composer of music,
was born in a small suburb of vi
emma.
He received his musical instruc-
ton early, and, with the fundamen-
tails of the violin mastered at the
age of 8, he studied thereafter by
himself. From that time on he de-
voted almost all his time to COM
posing. II write all day." he told q
friend, "and when l have finished
one piece I begin another"
The extent Of his talents may be
better appreciated when it is real
lied that he produced some Of his
most important compositions before
he was 20 years old.
Reduced to poverty because pub
fishers refused to accept his works
on the score they were too difficult
and the composer unknown, Schu-
bert was sustained by loyal friends.
Had it not been for famous
baritone and noted pianist of his
time who performed his works,
Shcubert might have died without
the slightest knowledge Of their sue
cess.
Schubert died when only 80 from
typhoid fever. and was buried near
Bcethoven's grave.

Well. Mrs. Katherine Donahue

HEALTH
Beauty Parlors Often Run by Quacks

Creams are to be used when the
skin is too dry, but not when the
skin is oily. Shaving does not
make the hair grow.
The safest way to remove super
fuous hair is by means of the cleo
trio needle. Many of the CONNER
cial hair removers contain caustics
which may damage the skin
seriously.
Splitting of the hair at the ends
is due merely to the fact that the
hair has grown out as far as the
cells from which it grows can pro-
vide life.
Badness is not infrequently
hereditary and can not be controlled
in such cases by any of the cur
rent methods of treatment.
These are simply answers to a
few of the common conceptions.
There are hundreds of other fall
lacies in the cosmetic field, and
upon the common ignorance of the
normal anatomy and physiology of
the skin and hair the quacks thrive.

To win and hold the respect and friendship of men
who strike keen balances between virtues and faults,
whose judgment and verdicts tested by intimate

Tonight many citizens of this community will

come ciphers when compared to the moistened eye
and hushed tongue of friends who pay their final

r TARVARD UNIVERSITY has

n IL discharged twenty Scrubwomen
rather than raise their wages from
35 to 81 cents an hour. The scrub
women themselves asked for no in
crease in salary. but it SO happens
that the state of Massachusetts has
minimum wage law which pro-
vides boards to set certain stand
ards of pay for women and minors
in certain industries.
When the board called the uni
versity's attention to the fact that
it was underpaying its scrubwomen,
Harvard'S answer was to discharge
them.
The university has announced
that it will replace them by men
who may be able to do a greater
amount of work, and there is no
minimum wage for men. Possibly
ten men will be able to do the work
of twenty middle-aged and elderly
women.
This will result in a considerable
saving to the university. Had it
paid the women a legal living wage,
the sum would have amounted to
almost $500 a year. Equipment for
the scrub football team hardly costs
that much in season.

WHILE gangland has been de
w velping such a code, with
knife and machine gun to back it
up, the upper world in these United
States has been going the other way.
The upper world has been sobbing
IN the name OF mercy, plying itself
discarding the idea of discipline.
No prizes of any value for schol-
erShip, on the theory that those who
fail to get them may feel hurt; no
severe punishment, On the theory
that the little human flower should
bloom according to nature; no rigid
standards or conventions, but lot
of prudish statutes and regulations
which generally go unenforced.
=
We are accustomed to think of
gangland as real Of mob law, but
the probabilities are that the mob
spirit plays bigger part in our high
schools and colleges today than in
organized vice.
In other words, the socalled bad
boys and girls of this country are
being disciplined, and any one who
has a mind can read the result.
The underworld not only is ex-
ercising a power it never knew be-
fore. but is gaining an unWholesome
number of recruits, while the upper
world grows weaker and weaker by
comparison.

GangIand Is Narrow

TAKE the average witness, who
Il finds himself compelled to
choose between running afoul of The
law and gangland, and what does
he do?
Or, take the average politician
and what does he 90?
Gangland has a code, as the av-
erage politician and witness are well
aware. If they break with it, they
have no illusions as to what they
are going to get.
The upper world, the respectable
world, the world of free expression
and free love is losing its code, eX-
cept where such vital problems as
the smutty book, the risque play, the
latest rules for bridge, or little ex-
cess fat are concerned.
Few people ever think of gang
land as puritanical, but that is ex-
actly what it is in it's methods, if not
its ideals.
Even the Bible belt is more liberal
to those who fail to conform.

OUCH explanation is comfortable
~ mainly because it furnishes an
alibi for every one else and leaves
no greater task ahead than to form
national committees, employ social
workers, and expand night schools.
At the same time, it is only fair
to recall that we have less immigra-
ton and less illiteracy than ever
before, while our expenditures for
education have quadrupled during
the last twenty years.

clearly something wrong besides our
alleged failure to "Americanize

and riddled with bullets, makes a
dying statement in which he tells

This incident is news, because he is
the first of his kind to WEIGH in a

Gangland has code-a code that
calls for implicit obedience on the
one hand, and Furnishes those who
violate it on the other.
That is one reason why gangland
is growing, why politicians and peace
officers rather would compromise
with it than fight, why youth is at
tracted by it.
Say what you will, but youth feels
the necessity of codes, of standards,

tlon, that rewards loyalty and pen

it is hard to tell just who the spoils
