Washington physician vouches for this
story
One Of his doctor friends was driv-
ing along residential street the other
afternoon when he saw a little girl
about years old sitting in the middle
of the street playing with doll.
He blew his horn and, although some
distance away, started to slow down.
The child heard the horn, looked up,
and then resumed playing with the doll
without moving. Again the doctor blew
his horn and again she looked up and
resumed playing. He sounded the
horn a third time and the child acted
just as before.
The driver slowed down and brought
his car to complete stop near the
child Angrily he got out of his car
and started to berate the little girl.
He found she was even more angry
at him for not hitting her.
Yes, I heard your old horn" she
said. But mamma told me if I didn t
stop playing in the street something
would hit me and then I'd see the an
gels. I wanted to see an angel"
The child tucked her doll under her
arm and started across the street.
weeping bitterly.

Portland Oregonian-A picture that
President Hoover drew for his national

Denver Post-It was the greatest and
most convincing campaign address

NEW YORK, September 13.- The

Throughout New York and New Eng

The Maiden Knitting Mills, one of

portant mills said they would follow
the advance. Up North the Dominion
Textile Co. revised many OF its quota

Cool weather has so stimulated the
demand for heavyweight overcoats
throughout the country, according to
local mill agents, that deliveries OF the
necessary cloth cannot be made until
late october. Up to month ago such
sales dragged. Now cutters here, in
Chicago, Philadelphia, Rochester and

Dangerous Judges

Congress is doing magnificent thing for the
working man in approving the anti-njunction bill
But it is not enough Another task remains before
organized labor can be secure from the menace of
the injunction.
The federal court must be protected from men like
Judge James H Wilkerson of Illinois and Kenneth
Macintosh of Washington nominated for the circuit
bench by President Hoover.
When congress passed the Clayton act in 1914, it
thought it had protected labor from the partisan in
junction. In language which seems Enthusiastically
clear it provided that mo such restraining order or
injunction shall prohibit any person or persons
whether singly or in concert, from terminating any
relation of employment, from ceasing to perform
any work labor, or from recommending, advising.
or persuading others by peaceful means to do So"
Six other clauses equally clear of intent to assure
the rights of collective bargaining followed the act
Yet today more tyrannous injunctions are being
issued than before. Decisions by federal judges
particularly decisions by a majority of the member
ship of the United States supreme court have SO in
erpreted this law that Justice Brandeis said of
of them: IF the undisputed facts of this case re-
fusal to work be enjoined congress created the
Sherman law and the Clayton act an instrument for
imposing restraints upon labor which remind us of
involuntary servitude."
AS long judges possess the power to construe
they possess the power to alter the intent of written
laws, and lawmakers have no recourse save in the
right of the senate to prevent appointment of un-
suitable men to the federal bench.
Judge Parker nominated for the supreme court
two years ago. was one of the federal judges who has
used judicial power to set aside the protection which
the Clayton act tried to give workers. He very properly
refused confirmation by the senate
Judges Wilkerson and Macintosh who have been
nominated the circUit Of
powerful in ITSELF and also stepping stone to the
higher court have issued some of the most indefen-
sible injunctons in the history of this country.
If they were to participate in constituting the new
ant-injunction bill it is extremely doubtful whether
even its sweeping declaration in behalf of workers
could protect labor's rights.
For the same reason that it killed the appointment
of Parker the senate should vote down Wkerson and
Macintosh.
