An effort is now being mado to end tho shopmen's stnike although the railroads claimed to alroady having ended it by supplying the strikers places with now moil. It Is an old adage that "what goes up is bound to coino down" and this is as true of wages as about anything else.

We now have "Government by in Junction" and Attorney Genera. Daugherty emphasizes that fact when the Department of Justice se cured that last restraining order. It places the courts and the Uniteo States Government squarely against the strikers in all cases where the people would ho the sufferers froro such strikes. The Dyer Anti-lynching bill is no sectional measure. It applies to the North as well as to the South, to the Hast, as well as lo the West. It shou.u <; placed upon the statute books and each State should supplement it Willi (lie II. C.
