in the April number of the American
Federat imiist Samuel Gompet« presi
dent of the Federation of Igilmr and
editor in chief of the i: agazii.. . th
votes several pages to an editorial with
i the caption "President Taft Consistent
With Judge Taft.”
Mr Gompers quotes what President
Taft In tils Inaugural address snid
I about labor and Injunctions and in
commenting says in part:
"Of course any statement which a
‘ man if Mr l ift's standing tnai mak
I is entitled to more than passing noth e.

labor's efforts to secure relief by law
from the admitted abuse of the Injutn
tlon writ make the working men “a
privileged class of wrongdoers" In tin
sense that they would be privileged to
commit crimes or unlawful acts with
out punishment?' Let us see What
does labor ask at the hands of the law
makers?
“Labor asks and demands that the
courts shall treat every citizen alike;
that. Inasmuch as an injunction is
never issued to enjoin other citizens
from the exercise of their personal
rights. their personal freedom, it
should never be issued to enjoin or
deny the personal liberty, the personal
freedom, of workingmen.
“Just before Judge Taft in 1!M»7 left
the l ulled Stales on his trip to the
Philippines he as an avowed aspitmt
for the nomination for the presidency
nt n public function at Seattle gave his
views as to the claims which labor
makes regarding the abuse of the in
Junction writ. The utterance was en
tirely unexpected and apparently un
necessary
“President Roosevelt announced that
Judge Taft was the man who should
succeed him as president.
“Judge Taft, while proclaiming that
he would follow the ‘Roosevelt poll
cies.' at once took the opportunity to
give the corporations, trusts and em
ployers hostile to labor a broad hint as
to where he might be found
“From the time Mr. Taft made that
speech at Seattle then* was not the
slightest doubt among observing men
that his nomination for the presidency
was a foregone conclusion. He was
duly nominated and elected, and in his
first utterance as president, in his in
augural address, lie repeated his ns
surances to the ‘interests.’ He ‘made
good' to them.
“In Ills Seattle address, among other
things. Judge Tuft said in substance
that any limitation of the powet of
the l imits to grant ami enforce writs
of injunction would lie bad and dan
genius; that the injunction is one of
the most valuable, beneficent ami es
seutial instruments; that labor’s pur
pose was to create lor itself ‘a prlvi
leged class of wrongdoers.' And he
concluded by adding that the remedy
proposed in labor's (Pearce) bill to
regulate and limit the Injunction and
thereby Secure equal rights of the
workers with all others was a most
dangerous measure, adding
“‘So you see .Mr. Gompers’ proposi
tlon lacks justice at the foundation
See what the effect would be.
It
would make a favored class of wrong
doers among the workingmen.’
"in his recent inaugural address lie
repeals the same sentiments
"Tlie president does not seem to be

it lie possible that the president does
not know of this decision? If lie does,
are not the workers' riglits and inter
ests entitled to tlie president’s eotisid
eration as requiring relief nt the
hands of congress as well as the
trusts and business corporations?
"The only hopeful suggestion in
President Taft's inaugural address re
gnnling labor Is that congress should
pass a law that the government may
become liable for accidents to its cm
ployees a proposition, of course, in the
right direction, but it is only a crumb,
and, oil. what a measly crumb II is!
“Some of the greatest statesmen of
