How the youthful Harlots curse
Blasts the new-born Infants tear
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse”

“Take away from the courts, if it could be taken away, the power to issue injunctions in labor disputes, and it would create a privileged class among the laborers and save the lawless among their number from a most needful remedy available to all men for the protection of their business interests against unlawful invasion....
