There is the injunction question which is to be brought to an issue before us soon in bills introduced in both bodies of Congress. I am unhesitatingly in favor of them. for I believe that they seek to solve a great. vexing problem and remedy a vital wrongthe law being made strong to punish the weak and weak to punish the strong. But I insist that there would be no need for antiinjunction laws were it not for the oversupply of labor caused largely by unrestricted immigration and the lack of opportunities caused by social injustice. Under present conditions an industrial plant is picketed because the strikers want their jobs back and because other men are anxious to fill their places at any wage. If jobs were plentiful. the workers would not need to make an effort to secure employment In a plant where conditions compelled a strike.
