 EDITORIAL DPARTMENT of ancient origin which are increasingly important to-day. A just criticism of our legal remedies is that they are designed to right the wrongs of an age of force rather than those of an age of cunning, and it may well be expected that the subject of fraudulent con veyances is one that will receive constant development by our judges, so that lawyers must needs comprehend the fundamental principles and watch closely the new deci sions. The reviewer has used Mr. Moore's book in his practice and found it eminently satisfactory. FUTURE INTERESTS (Remainders).

Burdick writes a timely article on "Injunctions in Labor Disputes." He depre cates the current political agitation for a change in practice in issuing injunctions in labor disputes, reminding us that provision is always made for an early hearing, and that in no reported case has a strike been broken by issuing an injunction without notice. Far from finding evidences of abuse of judicial power, he insists that the reported cases are full of instances where judges have modified their original order in favor of the strikers. There must be some discretion as to the man ner of issuing this writ to protect the public interest in cases like that of the Pullman strike. The contention that no injunction should issue in labor disputes because no

property right can be had in the labor of another, he shows clearly is beside the point, for the property loss is not in deprivation of labor, but in the direct damage to the good will 'of the business. The fact that the act enjoined is usually a crime does not justify legislation which will distinguish strike violence from other crimes. The Supreme Court in the Debs case made plain that in enforcing contempt proceedings without a jury trial, the Courts are not dealing with the criminal law. The article on the whole does not im press one as entirely impartial. INSURANCE. " Burdening the Insured," by Richard S. Harvey, American Lawyer (V. xvi, p. 293). INTERNATIONAL LAW.
