As a means to check the growth of the power of the unions, this method of arbitrary government by judges has never been resorted to except in the United States.

It is evident, then, that this statement was only meant for America.

It should also have been qualified so as to apply solely to the America of to-day.

For as other methods of checking the unions exist in other countries, it is obvious that they could be substituted in this country for the injunction, a proposition in entire accord with all I have written on the subject--though unfortunately not stated in this brief journalistic expression.

I have now come to the belief, on the grounds given in the text, not only that a new method of fighting the unions (namely, compulsory arbitration) _can_ be substituted for the injunction, but that this _will_ be done within a very few years.
