Another regulation that should be put into effect on ferries out of Seattle and nearby points is one that is enforced on the ferries of the Canadian Pacific rail- way. : * Under this regulation all passengers in ; autos must alight before the auto is taken aboard the boat. No one but the driver is allowed in the car until the boat docks again. This law, effective here, would not only prevent undue congestion during peak load trips, and furnish a more pleasant ride for autoists, but would be much safer in case of the possibility of accident. What About Speed Traps FFICIALS of several small communi- ties over the state are “raising Ned” with the Auto Club of Western Washing- ton because that organization informs motoring tourists of the places where speed traps are located and where traffic policemen operate. The small communities charge the club is upholding reckless and speedy driving. It seems to us that the club, rather, is ‘aiding the officials of the small towns in tting proper observance of their traffic ws by giving such advance information. For we never yet have seen a speed maniac } who would “open her up” thru a town where he had information that a constable was lying in wait for him. If these towns are establishing traffic Officers for the purpose of fair-mindedly enforcing’ the law in their communities, they would welcome such help. If there fre some among them who are going in the business only for the purpose of offi- ‘cially “holding up” the tourists, we for one would like to see their plans go amiss thru the Auto.club’s system. For the day is past when the once favorite sport of trapping the innocent autoist to pay the upkeep of small com- munities can be successfully played. + Explained to.

Labor’s war on “government by injung@ion” seems about to become completely successful, Newest evidence of this is given by the case of 10 railway shopmen in Superior, Wis. They were arrested during the strike of 1922, charged with violating an injune- tion issued by the district federal court. They demanded a jury trial, as was their right under the Clayton aot, The court denied their motion and summarily found less | the 10 men guilty. Appeal was taken to the United State: circuit court of ap: s, but there the dis- trict court’s judgment was sustained, Convinced that their constitutional right to trial by jury was being refused them, the shopmen appealed then to the United States supreme court. The supreme court last October reversed the lower courts, It held that that section of the Clayton act | prov iding for jury trial in labor injunction contempt es was perfectly constitu- tional. To a layman it may seem absurd that it ever was necessary in the first place to enact such a law and in the sec- ond place to have the constitutionality of that law ratified by the supreme court. “The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury,” says the United States constitution, In any event, the supreme court held that the district court and the cireuit court of appeals had been all wrong in the matter and sent the case back to the district court. There it was up to the dis- trict judge to give the 10 shopmen the trial by jury for which they had asked, Instead, with the consent of the railroad attorneys, the judge last week dismissed the entire case, However, the shopmen had registered a distinct gain for the forces working to limit the abuse of the injunction process by the courts. IDG Sick With a Grouch NG by his first speech after his J “return,” Herr Trotzky ought to go right back into the Caucasus for another vacation and put poultices on his grouch against America, He sees America as the bulwark against the general spread of “red” communism and his especial charge is that she is victualing” England, France, Italy and Bel- gium for the infernal purpose of getting them in shape to pay What they owe her, both of which charges are more or less true. It is certain that a large part of the aforesaid bulwark is made up of the very American element—honest labor—that re- fuses to become “red” and that, if debtor Europeans can’t eat, they can’t pay. Sad Economy AVING emasculated the federal trade commission, big business interests will now proceed to kill and bury it. ’ “This is the thing to do, perhaps, as a matter of government economy, but one’s heart bleeds for the three perfectly fine big business commissioners who will lose their fat salaries. ? ?
