Scene from Harold Bell \X the Hills" at feattrtes are concerned, are predicated upon the Lever act, a law enacted by congress for the purpose of prevent ing speculation and profiteering of the food and fuel supplise of the country. There never was in the minds of the congress in enacting that law or in the minds of the President when he signed it, that the Lever act would be - applied to workers in cases of strikes - or lockouts. Every assurance from the highest authority of our govern e ment was given that the law would r not be so applied. L in the course of President Wilson's - address to the Buffalo convent ion of d the American F'edera lion of Labor, d November, 1917. among other things d he said: "While 'we are fighting for freedom, y we must see among other things that n1 labor is free, and that means a nun e her of interesting things.

In a free country to con ceive of a government applying for and obtain a restraining order pro hibiting the ofilcials of a labor organ ization from contributing their own money for the purpose of procuring food for women and children that might be starving, is something that, when known 'will shock the sensibili tie sof men and will cause resentment. Surely the thousands of men who are lying in France under the soil, whoso blood was offered for the freedom of the world, never dreamed that so shortly afterwards in their own coun try -150,001) workers endeavoring to better their working conditions would have the government decide that they were not cnt it led to the assistance of es bought direct xis dealers' profil >$50 per head < ierc a gurnte you Mr.' Fa~:rmer early as nudes> 'i Muies Wer~e boue Our rnues are YOUR 2DEALERS Y"' on of "The Shepherd of ,Nov. 18th. heir fellowmen and that their wives Ind children should starve, by order if the government. It Is a -well established principle hat the inherent purpose of the in iulction processs, where .there is no )ther adequate remedy at law, was for the purpose of protecting law and property rights only thereby exercis ing the equity power of the courts to prevent innediate and Irreparable in ;u ry. It was never intended and there is no warrant of the law in all our coun try to use the Injunction. power of equity courts to curtail personal rights or regulate personal .relations. ;It was never intended to tule the piact of government by law by substituting personal and discretionary govern ment.
