HILE Attorney General Daugherty is floundering about trying to find what he ought to have said instead of what he did say in asking for an injunction in the shop- men’s strike, it would be a good idea for Mr. Daugherty and the public to distinguish clearly between the two types of injunction in indus- trial affairs One kind of injunction is that asked by rep- resentatives of private interests. In another class is the injunction asked by a representative of e government. The first is often necessary to prevent violence and damage when local officers of the law are derelict in their duty. This sort of injunction is, in effect, a device by which the superior pow- ers of the Federal Government may be called into play when local officials are indifferent, impotent or sympathetically leagued with the lawless. An injunction of the type asked by Mr Daugherty is radically different. It invokes no new or supplementary power of law enforcement. The President and the Attorney General already have all the power of the United States, all the Marshals, the army, the militia to prevent and punish unlawful acts. An injunction does not increase that power. The injunction only serves to break down the jury system of trial for crime. Unlawful acts had far better be punished ‘by the ordinary and adequate powers of the law. If the ordinary powers of the law prove inade- quate, the power behind the injunction must also be inadequate. out And so, as they say in the movies, the chang- ing seasons bring us round again tothe familiar question: What's in Charles F. Murpby’s mind? GOLD IN CITY LOTS. HICAGO is to have a suit in which heirs of a former owner contest the title of an immensely valuable and fully developed tract— the “Gold Coast.” New York has had similar suits. So have most other large cities. Such suits grow out of the growth of cities. They are the result of the almost unbelievable increase in urban real estate values. They al- most never succeed, but the mere chance of suc- cess lures on the claimants. If the present claimants could win title to the Chicago “Gold Coast” it would mean wealth which would dwarf the rosiest visions of all the buried treasures of all the pirates who sailed the Spanish Main. And the frame of mind in which claimants file such suits is much the same as that of those who fit out expeditions to hunt for pirate hoards on the “Gold Coasts” of tropi- cal islands. These legal expeditions have one advantage over digging for treasure. There is always a possibility of turning up something through compromise—which seekers of buried gold do not have. ‘The International Brotherhood of Efettrical Workers petitions the District of Columbia Su- preme Court for an injunction against Attorney General Daugherty’s injunction. It may prove unnecessary, Under the pres- sure of public opinion Mr. Daugherty has begun to enjoin himself. “IT’S AN ILL WIND,” ETC. HE Montreal Star protests against current notions in the United States that the Province of Quebec under its new liquor laws is “a libertine land of outlaw liquor traffic try- ing to inundate the dry regions to’ thé south.” “Wf there is a leak in the Prohibition dike on the northern border of the United States,” de- clares the Star, “it was made and is being kept open by American hands. We did not break through—we do not want a gap in the wall, except for capaciously empty Americans coming north.” “In fact even our more mercenary citizens had far rather see an American come up here to get &, spending fifty dollars in hotel bills, ten in souvenirs, a hundred in furs and whatever may be left in diamonds—to his few dollars for the forbidden fruit—than have night riders with si fent trucks convey it to the American in his home town. Then we get only the money for the liquor.” Frank and convincing. An enormous new 1,200-room hotel approach- aap et = = tyme ing completion in Montreal and a big addition to the famous hotel that is the pride of the City are eloquent testimony to what the of Quebec Province is» getting and expects to get from Nation-wide Prohibition in the United States. Take the mere item of conventions. As conven, tion cities lor American conveners, no city in the United States can now compete with Quebec and Montreal y Quebec is questioning no one's right to Pro- hibition. As the Star says: “The people of Quebec—who have always had a most enviable record for temperance—take an- other view of the best way to deal with the de mand of many good citizens for distilled liquors They believe in Government control, carefully regulated and restricted sale and the abolition of the bar so far as hard liquor is concerned. We may be right or we may be wrong; but the experiment seems to be working very well so far as our domestic population is affected.” Can the United States say as much for its ex- periment with Nation-wide Prohibition: Or are widespread bootlegging, Stealth, hectic and drinking, death by poisoning, weakened respect for law and the admission on the part of an ever growing number of estimable Americans that they leave their country with a pleasure greater than that with which they re- turn to it—are all these signs that Anti-Saloon League rule in the United States is working well? excessive SAFETY IN SECRECY, it has become much more than that for some days officials of the striking railroad unions have been feeling their way toward pos- sible agreements with fifty-two individual rail- roads and that Monday will find the Policy Committee of Ninety meeting in Chicago to con- sider proposals for such individual settlements of the strike ‘The nature of these proposals has been kept secret-—which need occasion no The clumsy movements of the Harding Administra- tion at critical moments have proved anything but helpful toward hastening a railroad peace. \ Both sides may well have come to feel that the best settlement will be one the Administration has least time to butt in on WHY STICK AT A TRIFLE? HERE are rumors of serious differences in conference on the Fordney-McCumber bill Chairman Fordney is determined to levy du- ties on “American valua Chairman Mc- mber, at the other end of the hyphenated title, is as determined to adhere to his own schedules of rates. Unless the Republican Party has decided to kill the tariff by a mock quarrel between the two Houses, we see no good logical ‘Republican reason why this difference should not be compro- mised and both Fordney and McCumber satis- fied. Under the American valuation plan, the actual duties redommended by the House would have been higher than ever. Throwing out the Amer- ican valuation plan, the Senate raised the nomi- nal rates until the collectible duty was. still higher, even under foreign valuation. This, of course, made the nominal ad valorem rates far higher than those of the House. In the interests of harmony, normalcy and brotherly love, why should not the conference accept American valuation and then levy duties under the McCumber schedules based on foreign valuation? That would mean protection that would be protection en Senator Gooding ought to be satisfied with that, and both Mc- Cumber and Fordney could have their ways. Baf as the Tariff Bill is, a mere matter of a double tariff wouldn't make it much worse or more objectionable. Let us have peace and har- mony in the G. O.

If he merely thinks he means to be these things, he will be very easily discouraged in carrying out his inten tions, which is sufficient proof that they were bogus.

But when the cake is actually in front of him and appe tite is gnawing within, he finds out that his intentions were not the real thing, and usually gets the cake.
