WHERE ROOSEVELT FALLS DOWN.
Hero is an extract from President
Roosevelt’s last regular message to con
“In my last message I suggested the
enactment of a law in connectisn with
the issuance of injunctions, attention
having been sharply drawn to the mat
ter by the demand that the right of
applying injunctions in labor cases
should be wholly abolished. It is at
least doubtful whether a law almlishing i
altogether the use of injunctions in such
cases would stand the test of the
courts; in which case of course the
legislation would he ineffective.”
In other words, the president believes
the principle of injunction as applied in
labor cases is wrong, but doubts if
judges would hold themselves amenable
to a taw curtailing their assunn d [low
ers. It is a caustic commentary on the
trend of events.
Hut Roosevelt appoints our judges, ;
and there seems to be no reason why he
might not select men who would at
least he slow to do what he is convinced
is wrong: Mr. Roosevelt has been
called a stickler for the tight.
And yet Judge Gunnison, the creature
of Roosevelt, did the very thing the
president condemns and issued an in
junction of which it Inis been said that
it authorizes him to imprison any miner
who so much as expresses an opinion
regarding the Tatiana miners’ strike.
For once Roosevelt seems to have en
countered a along against which he has
not the gizzard to further contend.
Thkkk is never a contention tstween
two sets •>( men in which one party is
wholly right ami the other wholly
w roinj. However, in the trotthle 1*
tween the miners ami the operators in
the Tatiana, it is ini|».ssihle that the
men Iscoine more unjust than the op
erators w hen the latter decline to listen
to any projsmitioti of compromise which
carries with it a lightening of the work
ers' tasks. The conditions in the mines
are said to have heen murderous, and
let us hope they are over forever
