INJUNCTION IN LABOR DI8PUTE8
In bis letter to Senator Knox. Mr
Koqsovelt chargee that tha claim tf
Mr. pompom, tho lubor leader, la that
strikers should have the right t*
smash tha machinery of n msnufae
turer and to commit Ilka acta, am
that there Should be no Injunction by
tho cfcurta to restrain them.
Roosevelt demands to know If Ilrynn
agrees with Oompers about this, ami
then, without waiting for Rryan's
ply, decides that It is so ami rails at
tha "vloloua proposals to which
Msasrs. Rryan and (lumpers am com
mltted." It I# the method of ono who
would be Judge, Jury and axecutloner
before the accused *s even heard.
Tha Democratic platform reads
VQuastlona of Judicial practice
have arisen, especially In connec
tion wlti Indpstrlnl disputes. We
deem that the parties to all Judi
cial proceedings should be treated
with rigid Impartiality, and that
Injunctions shoull not be issued in
any cases in which Injunctions
In other words, strikers should havo
at least all lha right* that are nc
corded other accused parsons under
the law. On this question Rryan said
at Rteubenvllle, Ohio, October tl:
"Wa aay In our platform that If
we win wo will limit tha writ of
Injunction so that a labor dispute
will not In Itsalf ba a sufficient
ground for the Issuance of that
writ, that there must be something
done: there must be conditions that
would Justify that writ, avan If
there wags no labor dispute, be
fore It shall ba used In such a
dlsputa."
What doaa this mean but that, whtta
violence End crime may be stopped,
there should be no writ of Injunction
against strikers as suck?
ta charged that radaral Judges
who were formerly corporation law-
yero. leaning to the aid# of the om-
player, have oppressed legitimately
striking workingman by issuing writs
of Injunction merely In order to stop
th# strike and oeoara tha triumph of
the employing corporation. Protest
against auch abuse of Injunction la
Just, and. aa wa understand tt. tha
plank tn the Democratic platform 'a

of Injunction should' certainly ba lim

that Hearst gave an Individual con

mak«s the votes Carter sot cost

Mi. Suttler further confesses the
fact that hi# expenses were paid to
the convention of the league. In Chi

from Hearst. Further that there Is
still owing him for extra copies of the
Radical SI.200. and that some other
debts are due Georgia people by the

Further still. Mr. Futtler. seeing the
need of a scapegoat, blames John
