NOW
(Continued from page one)
workers, flourishing a revolver to em
phasize his threat and some of the
non-union men employed to take the
places of the unionists also made
threats to kill. Yet with a knowledge
of these facts before him, Judge Blair
issued an injunction, restraining the
union molders, among other things,
from:
"Interfering with or attempting to
interfere with the plaintiff's employes
for the purpose of inducing them to
join a labor union without the con
sent of the plaintiff from persuading,
urging, or encouraging the plaintiff's
employes to join a labor union, and
thereby violate their contract of em
ployment with petitioner from en
deavoring by threats, menaces, vio
lence, intimidation, representation, or
promises of better pay, shorter hours,
or better conditions, to induce plain
tiff's employes to leave the services
of plaintiff."
After reading the text of this in
junction, it is not hard to understand
why workers, both white and colored,
are leaving the state of Georgia by
the tens of thousands.
Courts Haven't Last Word
This point is touched upon by John
P. Prey, editor of the International
Molders Journal, who comments upon
Judge Blair's injunction as follows:
"It has been amply demonstrated
by the country's industrial history
that injunctions can not make men
work, and it is also being demonstrat
ed that injunctions do make men
think, and that thinking makes men
act collectively to protect their rights.
A judge sitting upon the bench, by a
stroke of a pen, may enjoin men from
endeavoring to organize their fellow
men, when these happen to be trade
unionists but this stroke of the pen
in this land of free men is not the
last word, and cannot be made so.
"A molder's right to organize and
solicit membership is in every way
equivalent to the right of a Chamber
of Commerce, Kiwanis or a Rotary
Club, or any
vther

jain^
decision which held that peaceful per
suasion, promises of better pay,
shorter hours, or better conditions,
were unlawful methods.
"Judge Blair's injunction may be
considered of temporary advantage to
the foundrymen who discharged their
molders because they had become
members of our organization, but the
decision is an injury to the state of
Georgia, and an irreparable injury
if the position taken by Judge Blair
is to be followed by other courts,
because, among other thingfi, it will
serve to drive competent mechanics
out of the state more effectively than
the advantage taken of negroes has
already served to drive many thou
sands of them into other portions of
the country. The court as a lawfully
created judicial institution, is entitled
to respect a decision of the court
which gives to employers rights and
privileges which are denied to wage
earners is not entitled to respect,
because it definitely sets aside well
established, definitely understood con
stitutional rights."
But it remained for a California
judge to issue the prize injunction,
which abolished tvial by jury in cer
tain cases and left Daugherty's best
effort far in the rear of the injunc
tion race. It was a temporary de
cree, but its loving frienjls hope to
see it join the ranks of the "We're
here to stay" injunctions.
Court Sole Judge of Guilt
The California decree was the work
of Superior Judge Charles O. Busick,
of Sacramento county, who issued a
state-wide injunction under which
membership in the I. W. W., or affil
iated bodies, will be construed as con
tempt of court punishable by six
months imprisonment without a jury
trial. The injunction was made valid
in every county in the state and any
superior court was given jurisdiction.
Observe the beauty of this injunc
tion. If you are brought before a
court on the charge of being a mem
ber of the I. W. W. the judge will be
sole master of your fate. You may
never have heard of the I. W. W., let
alone being a member of the organi
zation, but if the judge doesn't like
your face, he can send you to jail for
six months. Neat, eh? As the New
York World says:
"California has a criminal syndical
ism law passed chiefly against the In
dustrial Workers of the World, but
much difficulty has been found in the
enforcement of the statute because
of the old-fashioned assumption that
the prosecution must prove its case
in court. A judge has been in
duced to issue an injunction under
which mere membership in the I. W.
W. can be interpreted as contempt of
court and punished by six months'
imprisonment. There will be no ne
cessity then of a jury trial. No ne
cessity of proving anything, in fact,
because the matter of membership
will rest on the discretion of the judge
who does the punishing.
"If the injunction is made per
manent it will be valid in every county
and any superior court will have jur
isdiction. Mr. Daugherty himself has
never evolved a more simple solution
of economic problems than that. If
there is discontented radical labor in
California, send it to jail for contempt
of court. Then it will come out of
jail satisfied and happy and duly im
pressed with the state's sense of in
herent justice—perhaps.
"New York long ago recovered
from its attack of Luskism, but Cali
fornia is still delirious, and is raving."
California, however, does not boast
the only court which is aiming blows
at the right to trail by jury. Simul

court of appeals at Chicago held that

leaders who were cited for contempt

the injunction may not have the ben
efit of a jury trial.
What Befell an Editor
As varoius parts of the country
come to the front with injunctions
against workmen, New Mexico dis
tinguishes herself by permitting a
judge to send an editor to jail for
attacking a political ring in San Mig
uel county.
The editor is Carl C. Magee, of the
New Mexico Tribune of Alberquerque,
who has been fighting the political
ring for two years. He made mild
criticism of a ji#lge in Santa Fe
county, and for this was indicted and
convicted for libel in San Miguel
before a jury not one of whom could
read English.
Sentenced to from one year to
eighteen months in the penitentiary,
Magee protested in his paper against
the methods of the court and was re
peatedly cited for contempt, the last
time being sentenced to 360 days.
Fortunately New Mexico has a gov
ernor who recognized that Magee was
a victim of judicial usurpation and
he pardoned the editor of both the
libel and contempt charges, declaring
that in his opinion Magee had been
persecuted, not prosecuted and that
the convictions had been a disgrace
to the state.
New Mexico's sister state of Ari
zona enjoys the benefits of another
kind of injunction, just issued by Fed
eral Judge Erskine in California, re
straining the Arizona minimum wage
commission from enforcing the Ari
zona minimum wage law. The United
States supreme court decision de
claring unconstitutional the District
of Columbia minimum wage law was
cited by the judge to sustain his in
junction. The legal reasoning may
be all right, but advocates of the
minimum wage law point out it does
n't help the women workers of Ari
zona.
Kentucky in Limelight, Too
Kentucky falls into line with a de
cree, which though merely comic,
shows the growing tendency to turn
to a jud^e to remedy all ills by in
junction. John Alton, 65, was the
victim, being enjoined from marrying,
visiting or even talking to a foun
tain woman whom he had come all
the way from Minnesota to see. The
excuse for the injunction was that
the woman had a little money and
Alton was suspected of being more
interested in the money than in the
lady herself.
This outline of recent injunction
cases has not mentioned other as
saults by the courts on organized la
bor, such as the recent decision of
the Washington state supreme court
that unions are liable for damages
suffered during strikes, a decision
which is being vigorously fought by
the Washington State Federation of
Labor. Anti-labor court decisions
have recently also been given in Wis
consin and other states.
And so it goes. As the workmen
and farmers of Minnesota, watched
with approval by the rest of the na
tion, demonstrate their desire for
progress in government and industry
by electing Magnus Johnson to the
United States senate, the courts
strike blows at liberty and freedom
all over the nation. The tide of judi
cial tyranny and usurpation is ris
ing. Where will it end?
