Even though It woro posslblo I should consider it man unwlBo to nboUsh the. use of the process of Injunction. It is noces eary in order that tho courts may maintain iholr own dignity, and In ord?r that they may In effectivo man ner check disorders and violence. It is all wrong to use tho injunc tion to provent -tho entirely proper ana logltlmato action of labor organ izations In tholr struggle for indut- trlal bottermont, or under the guise of protecting property rights unwar rantable o invado tho fundamental rtghts of tho individual.. It is fu tile to concede, as wo all do, tho right and tho necessity of organized effort on tho part of wago earners, and yet by Injunctive process forbid peac ablo action to accomplish tho lawful object for which they aro organized, and upon which tholr success ao ponds. It Is my purpose, as soon as maybo, to submit Bomo further recommenda tions Kn rofaronce to osir laws rogu latlng labor conditions within the sphoro of federal authority. Concerning Labor. Not only should tnero be action on certain laws affecting wage earners there should also be such action on law better to seouro control of the great business .concorns ongagea in Interstate commerce, and eapeally over the great common oarrlQrs. The Intorstato commerce oommlMion should bo omnowerod to pa upoa any rate or praotloe on its own Inl tlatlv. Moreover, It should be pro vlded that whonevor the commission ha reason to believe that advance in not being made without Investiga tion. It should have authority to is sue an order prohibiting the advance, ponding examination by the ooramif- aon. Tho Ineretate commerce commis sion should be provided with the means to make a physical valuation of any road a to which k deems the valuation necessary.

Justice Dowllng's charge to tho Jury was ono of tho most voluminous ever present ed by any mngistrata sitting in n murdor trial In New York. It con tained 7500 words, and bogan by do tailing tne responsibility involved under tho stato laws, and warning tho Jury that speeches should not ba conIdorod in uoalding upon a ver dict. "Nor should you- bo concerned In the question of the punishment that follows a vtrdiot of guilty," said tho Justice. "Your eolo function Is to detormino if any crime has bon com mitted, and Its grnde, but loavo tho quostion of penalty to thoso who should bo responsible for fixing It." "Tho law presumes every Individ ual to he sano, and tho prosecution can roH on this point at the outset without proof. But whoro the de- fenso a Insanity, and tho general evi dence presented touohes the question a to whether the orlmo wa com mitted by a poreon responsible for hie act, the burden of oetnblishing the defendant's sanity U up to the prosecution. If, upon the whole caet, any rwuwnnnia uouut exiMS in me Jurors' minds as to the defendant's Insanity, he le entitled to acquittal. "But if Thaw was mentally capable ii f entertaining orimtnai intent, it would not be possible, under your oaths at Jurymen, to acquit him." Justice Dowling rlddlod tho "rre istable impulso" theory. He de clared tho entire case, so far as tho jurors are now concerned, rested up on the queetlon whether Thaw knew he wa shooting White and whether he deeigned to shoot him. He de clared that tho testimony concerning, the acts of the dofendant during his early life and tho Insanity in the Thaw family eould bo considered only insofar as It throw light on the defendant's llfd. lie said It could be considered from that standpoint.
