Another Storm Heads Toward Cuba and Gulf Coast
A new tropical hurricane is forming northwest of Jamaica and moving toward the Cuban coast. It wrecked the U S cruiser Memphis at San Domingo and may follow one of two paths: up the Atlantic coast or into the open sea. Predictions warn vessels east of the Yucatan Channel to be cautious, with Gulf entry unlikely. Port Aransas, Corpus Christi, Brownsville, and San Antonio residents feel more secure, as another Gulf hit is considered improbable this season.

Court Exposes Flawed Injunction Exemption Law
A defense of labor and farmer groups decries a Wilson era injunction exemption law as unconstitutional class legislation. The piece argues it creates inequality by allowing unions to enjoin businesses while denying similar power to businesses against unions. It notes a Union Pacific conductor seeks an injunction against a labor order and criticizes party cowardice for not challenging the law.
Court to Decide If Injunction Applies to Labor Union Members
The question of whether an injunction can apply to members of labor organizations will be tested in the courts. Neither political party will influence the decision or be responsible for it. There is hope the issue may reach a final ruling before the Supreme Court, the body that can construe the law in light of the U.S. Constitution and settle its status.

The German emperor replaces Gen. Von Falkenhayn with Field Marshal Von Hindenburg as chief of staff. Von Falkenhayn will take other duties.
