Entered as i at act of Mar Tammany Laborites Shadow Boxing on Injunctions Again the Tammany dominated machine of the New York State Federation of Labor recognizes—in words—the destruc- tiveness of the injunction as a weapon against labor. At their recent convention in Rochester the officialdom of New York state labor vent on record to have a special committee compile court decisions on strikes and work on an anti-injunetion bill to be presented to the next session of the state legislature. The Fed- eration convention decided that there ought to be a modification of legal processes permitting injunctions in labor disputes and de- mands representation at hearings before preliminary injunctions \ * By MYRA PAGE. up like hell.

KEITH -ALBEE ACTS in the frequently their utterances, ignored by those who know them as - insipid drivel, are taken as oracular profundity a thousand miles from their usual habitats. . These sombre observations are prompted by the appearance ew York Times of certain political prophésies of one Frank D. Comerford, of Chicago, popularly known as the windy city. Parentheticall we hasten to remark that Comerford and other Chicago politicians are not responsible for that characteri- zation of the city, in spite of what might be considered evidence to warrant it. } Mr. Comerford has an unenviable record as a shyster lawyer in Chicago. He gained considerable notoriety as a prophet when! ‘he joined the staff of prosecutors in the Communist Labor cases | some seven years ago. For some reason or other he posed as an “expert” on radicalism and gave out hysterical interviews in which he predicted the complete annihilatign of Communism in the United States as a result of his “patriotic” activities in be- half of the “open shoppers” of Chicago who wanted to stifle the extreme left of the labor movement in preparation for the drive that was characterized by the attack on the building trades wherein the ex-judge, Landis, played a conspictious role as labor- baiter. Mr. Comerford, now called “judge” because of a recent gang- ster election that elevated him to the superior court bench, is presidential aspirations of the Tammany governor of New York, Al Smith, in his familiar, if somewhat weather-beaten role of prophet. This time we are told that Smith will be nominated because the democrats of Illinois are fer, him and that he will} ‘visiting New York. He is evidently here in the interest of the| ernment.

He even had letterheads, jdies, symbols and rubber stamps |made in exact imitation of the of- ficial seals and marks of the various Russian govérnment bureaus, and of the Communist Party in Russia, Regular Traffic.
